Soredemo, Ikite Yuku (2011)

A truly interesting title indeed. Soredemo Ikite yuku expresses the emotions of the characters bare n its actually frightful that it does it so brilliantly without much music.

STORY 9.5/10 : I wanted to give it a 10 but settled at 9.5 due to some situations being cliched. Though i don't dislike cliches some of them in the drama could've been better avoided. But it was overall convincing. I really love how they showed both sides of the coin (both families). Both families suffer but still they try to live on which is very admirable. However I was a bit disappointed with the ending but it was amusing how the last scene showed HIROKI returning the DVD he borrowed (FYI its p**n). I laughed hard when he said what was the overtime fee XD.

ACTING/CAST 8.5/10 : A high score if I should say. The characters were well acted n depicted. Though it could have been better at some scenes it was acceptable. The awkward chemistry between HIROKI n FUTABA had me laughing at times. Looking at them got me nervous sometimes thinking how it would turn out.

MUSIC 7/10 : Though I mentioned how it used very little music to show lot of scenes raw n at the same time did it brilliantly there was that feeling that what if it had music to intensify the emotions further. I cant help but think that it would have been awesome with more music # u don't have to necessarily agree.

REWATCH VALUE 7/10 : i don't usually re watch what I have watched once primarily bcoz i don't want to be left with the feeling - wasn't it better than this. That is why I believe its a fairly high rewatch value for me.

OVERALL 8.5/10 : Its was certainly an interesting series n worth the time. Though it may be offensive to some that I didn't rate it 10/10 all I can say that it was a certainly amazing series but not the likes of the greatest. However it tackled a very deep topic n i believe that this problem is prevalent even in our current society n for that i give this series a thumbs up. Its not rare seeing people dish out offensive comments on social media when all along we dont even know a fragment of what the person or their family is going through.

Lastly, if u r someone who enjoys fast paced dramas with great music then I believe this series won't be be ur cup of tea.
