Life and Everything in Between ..: watched

The title just sounded like unappealing to me but the drama itself is just amazing! I expected nothing about this drama because the only reason why I decided to watch this because I simply miss watching Shun Oguri. I never thought this drama would be one of my jdorama favorites.

Plot: A 29 year old successful CEO of an IT firm who has a very interesting personality and mysterious past meets a Tokyo University student who coincidentally have the same name as his mother- whom he is trying to find since he was young.

I finished the whole drama including the special episodes in just a day. So you can say that I'm really that hooked to this drama. I effin' love it ! The story is beautifully written, it is incredibly inspiring and touching. All of the characters are also well written and the actors really suits their roles.

Toru Hyuga is such an incredible character. An antisocial, genius and immature guy who doesn't know how to handle people but deep inside him, he really cares. He gives all his effort to work without thinking about money and fame. He always finds a way to every problem. Oh this character is such an inspiration to strive hard to reach your dreams.

When it comes to the chemistry between Toru (Shun Oguri) and Makoto (Ishihara Satomi) well, I have nothing say but great! The romance in this drama is shown in a beautiful way, I mean, you really can see the progress on their relationship in every episode. The break-ups and make-ups are also really touching and very realistic because hardships like that are normal in a relationship.

Sweet scenes! Kyaaa!

I also love the OST especially it's acoustic guitar version. Very calming and relaxing. Hear it out! :)

Taglines:

"Even the single person can change the world. Make the impossible, possible. Break the shackles of old values and discover new common sense."
"When we are facing each other, we end up fighting. There is nothing fun to remember about us. But I...want you to be the only one I have an argument with."
"If you want to start something new, it has to meet failure, it has to be criticized. This is where the creation process start."

All in all, I'll give this drama a 10/10. Definitely a must watch! Not just for romance but also for way of life, it is indeed very inspiring.

Plot

Marty Claridge has just moved out to the West with her husband Aaron Claridge (Oliver Macready), who dies in a riding accident shortly after. Marty, expecting her late husband's baby and left with nowhere to go, is in need of a place to stay through the winter. With no other options, she accepts the arrangement offered by widower Clark Davis, who offers to give her a place to stay for the winter and provide her with the fare for the wagon train heading back East in the spring. In exchange, they agree to get married, as he wants her to provide a maternal influence for his young daughter Missie. The two do not live together as husband and wife but keep separate quarters. Initially, it is not an ideal arrangement for any of them, and at first Marty and Missie do not get along. Marty learns more about "Clark's God" than she ever dreamed, and as the winter season passes, they all start to feel more like a family, and finally Marty and Clark come to realize they're in love.

Review

I'm just randomly searching for a movie to watch 'coz I'm kinda bored so I ended up watching this without expecting too much. At the beginning scenes, I kinda thought that it's lame and boring but as the story goes by, you'll eventually feel the flow of the story, the love. The story only gives the lesson that love do not always come like a firework that you'll feel immediately but love comes softly without even noticing it, it says that love has it's stages and you don't need to rush things up because everything will fall into their right place in the right time.

And another thing that I love about this movie is that it somehow tells about the message that trusting and believing God always is one key to feel peace and comfort. Just pray and trust Him and he will grant all of it, if not, then he has another better plan for you. And even if we fall and something bad happens, it does not necessarily mean that He wants that to happen to you but He's always there to pick you up and comfort you.
