Quite a Nice one!!

Please tell me where and why you agree and disagree with me after reading this review.

BE CAUTIOUS, SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Getting to the drama~
I recently finished watching this, it was a very nice drama. Many of the Japanese dramas are underrated and this is one of them.

Story: 9.5
The story was quite exciting and addictive. I totally loved the way all the characters were designed. I'm sure it would have taken a long time for the actual writer to make the character sketches because the character of no two people were exactly the same. The story was very vivid and full of twists. I was quite shocked myself to find out that Matsuko was a Girl Gun Lady. The thing I didn't understand was how could the creator of the parallel world erase the dead people and their memories along with their belongings in the real world, as it's not him who made it. Also, how can he create false memories and make it look so vivid just like in Matsuko's case. I was quite unsatisfied with the ending as I expected Alice to become a human since she was so nice and kind and also the last scene was confusing, was it Koharu's dream or was it real?
Overall the storyline was very nice and I loved it, so I'll totally recommend you to see this drama.

Acting/Cast : 9.0
All the actresses and actors were great in this. It's just that they couldn't make me emotional in the emotional ending, so I rated it 9.0.
⨠ Shirashi Sei as Tachibana Koharu, I totally loved her acting, she played it really well.
⨠Ohara Yuno as Alice, she was really good as well.
⨠Ito Momoka as Natsuna and Fuyumi, she was really well in both the characters.
⨠Deguchi Natsuki as Inada Akiho, I totally loved her in this drama, the cold but kind character.
The others did well too.

Music: 9.0
The music was nice but repetitive, I hoped for a new song.

Rewatch Value:9.5

Overall : 9.5
I totally recommend it.

Hope it wasn't boring.
Thanks for reading.
Lots of love <3

This "Girl Gun Lady" (BTW, I'll never really understand the typically Japanese passion for throwing around random foreign words, chosen more for their sound than for their meaning - and so we get some real "pearls" like the soccer team "Kawasaki Frontale" - 'cause Italian sounds so well in a soccer atmosphere, right? Too bad "frontale" can also mean "head-on collision" in Italian...definitely NOT the word any sane person would EVER want to associate to a Kawasaki!!! >_____<), I was saying, this lil' drama would be the very definition of "guilty pleasure", weren't it for the fact that "pleasure" might mean stretching it too much, LOL ^___^;
OK, in all fairness, I'm really NOT a fan of the "tokusatsu" genre, so the premise was *completely* wasted on me.
That said, the script wasn't too bad, all things considered; but at the same time, it's not like they could've come up with a masterpiece, either. More like, "some decently written dialogues" and "a coupla surprisingly good scenes" drowned in a sea of silliness.
The acting was much better, particularly thanks to Shiraishi Sei and Ohara Yuno (who are, incidentally, two of the three reasons why I've watched this in the first place - the third one being Tanabe Momoko, whose role is, alas, a very minor one with tremendously little screentime).
If you're a tokusatsu fan (or an action figure otaku) you might appreciate this much more than I did.
If you're a fan of the afore-mentioned actresses, like I am, it might be still worth a watch after all.
Otherwise, I'd humbly suggest you steer clear of this and invest your precious time more proficuously...^__^;
All imho, of course! ^___-
