If you only have 40 mins to 1.5 hours to watch,  I would recommend this drama. Each episode leaves no hanging ending, except the last ep.

The first half is full of characters development, it starts to be more serious on second half. I like how they put funny and comical moment up front, at the beginning of each eps. The jokes are smart and not exaggerated. Tho there are many comical characters (Nobunaga, Tokugawa, etc), it is balanced by serious and brilliant characters.

If there is something that missed from this drama, it would be this drama lost track of time. For viewers who don't familiar with Sengoku period, especially about Nobunaga, it would seem like Nobunaga fought every day and ended everything in just a year. In fact, the timeline is stretched as far as 30 years.

Another thing, this drama doesn't give simple introduction to each character. So, when someone important entered the story, you have to google it up to get better references.

The ending is cliff hanging, maybe the production team wants to make Season 2 but I am not sure if it is possible in many ways since according to history, only Honnoji accident is left for Saburo. Special eps would be great to close this drama.


Rewatch? YES, maybe in 6 months.

Edit : The Movie version came out 2 years later and closed it neat and tidy.
