This dorama goes more and more tragic!
After watching episode 8, a lot of questions are still bugging me:

Still love this dorama though, but somehow, the story looked more exeptional after only watching eps 1-4.

OMG TAKA-CHAN! He isn't my favorite character, but I can't believe he died! The phone call made me tear up~ I still couldn't believe he couldn't trust Mei though and slap her! That I just could not believe >< But I think he did try to make up for it by reconciling Mei and Akkun. Grrrr. But what is up with Mami?!?!?! -_______-

I don't think Taka died... I watched it raw and my Japanese is, well, bad, so I didn't understand all the details, but if that was the case... wouldn't you expect his father to be way more crushed and what I really don't get is what would they be waiting at the hospital for?

It's true that the dad didn't seem that crushed but Taka did die. He says, "Oya yori saki shinu musuko wa doko nin dayo?" Which means, "Where would you find a son who'd die before his father?" and that explains the friends' reactions. What they were waiting for might be Taka's corpse, and the regulations after that, perhaps.

Maybe I was totally out of it when I watched the episode, but when Mei's mother was talking about how she knew Atsushi's mother through her best friend or whatever, and they showed the part where she's at the kindergarten. So, it just might be that I got the wrong impression, but I understood that Mei was Atsushi's mother's kid and Atsushi was that dead best friend's kid. But how the hell would they get changed even though the friend died... I dunno, I understood wrong, right?

Atsushi's mum met Mei's mum at kindergarten. That's it!

They kept the story pretty "pure" without dressing it too much, unlike 16-episode-long korean doramas that would fit in 5 episodes.

It think the taping of this dorama is pretty complicated too since they had planed from the start that the dorama would be mixed with the movie.

And if i got it right, the movie (and all episodes) were taped on a very large timeline: because I read that Mizobata published recently on his blog that he had just received ep. 11's script. . (unleashthegeek's blog). The thing is that eps 1-8 must have been taped a long time ago because the movie (which covers eps 3-8 ) was released in last december. (plus it includes many scenes in the summer time).

So this dorama looks like a complicated production and it might have been more complicated if they had made longer episodes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there will be 11 episodes. Even though wiki says there're 10 episodes, it says that it lasts till the 28th and on the akai ito fuji website it says the last episode is on the 28th and there's enough slots for 2 more.

Besides that, from the preview of episode 10, it definitely does not look like a final episode. Even though episode 9..

Let the secret that was holding Atsushi and Mei away from each other out in the open, there's still nutjob Mami keeping them apart.

That's good then.

SnowApple wrote:I just watched ep 9 raw and a lot of things still haven't quite gelled.....

First off, I've never read the book, so that might be why the drama keeps surprising me, but even if it was a standalone story, I never would have expected the abuse theme. I saw all the pushing and slapping in the previews, but it never really hit me that "Akai Ito" was ultimately a drama about abuse. And not just physical abuse, but drug abuse, emotional abuse... The fate theme is important, sure, the whole drama was marketed off it, but the darker stuff seems to be the real meat of the story. Anyone else think that?

And that's not necessarily a bad thing, by any means. Just very different from what I was expecting.

colyn7 · Post by **colyn7** » Feb 17th, '09, 01:36

^yah...

Truth really hurts..

What's this story is aLL about? the Dark Side of Youth... LOL.. reaLLy..

I'm suicidal myself.. the story is good though.. when we were young we think of things simply.. don't we? Its like there's no other day.. oh well.. I'm glad I didn't die of so many attempts.. but we have reasons... I mean, if you would really like to die, you wouldn't just jump from 3rd floor, are you? you'd probably jump from as low as 13th floor to assure that you'd die of suicide.. hehe..

I haven't heard anyone dying after jumping from 3 floors unless he jump into a floor full of spikes or through the fire and got burnt...

stiLL, this is far my favorite Jdorama.. it just depicts the truth of youthfulness.. LoL.. and.. the harshness of truth.. when you are young, its still hard to accept the truth.. because you still can't stand on your own.. Like what A-kun said at ep.8..
But, when you are past those ages, well.. truth may be harsh but its acceptable already.. I start to think of these when... hmm.. am 20?

patient_senses wrote:For episode 9..
Does anyone else think that Mami's suicide attempt was just a way for her to make sure Atsushi wouldn't end up with Mei? I mean, no one who's trying to make a legitiment attempt to kill themselves would do it in a resturant where they're scheuduled to meet someone who's running late. It reminded me of some saying that goes something like, "If a person makes an honest attempt to end their life, they wouldn't live to tell the story".

She's one of the most annoying characters ever! She pretends to be so innocent and is constantly whining about her life for sympathy. When people's lives are really that terrible, they usually keep it to themselves and only talk about it when they need help, they don't use it to manipulate people. She makes me angry.

And I was thinking that maybe Sara never really forget everything in the first place. I don't remember if the doctors proved she forgot or if she was simply saying she doesn't remember. Anyone?

I couldn't wait for the movie to be out and then subbed.

. I don't think there was anything missing. I just felt that the timeline is pretty fast. I don't really see the characters developing with one another like Mei and A-kun in middle school. It's up to you what you want to do.

As for episode 9, which I just finished....

Can't wait for episode 10! [to be subbed] lol. x]

I wasn't really expecting Mami to commit suicide.. I was thinking it was someone else. but anyway, I hope this character doesn't die, even though, as i read, she's annoying and selfish. and HOW did Yuri get pregnant!? my gosh. v___v;

Yay! Secret is out in the open and Mei-chan knows everything! But does A-kun know that she knows about his mother? :X
I still want Mei and A-kun to be together. but it doesn't look that way.... :[
