Medley075 ~ Spring Japanese drama general review

Johnny Depp's court battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard has become a global hotspot in the past few weeks, even involving the richest man, Elon Musk. Johnny's victory has helped everyone regain some confidence in the law and the legal system, while Ambow said that her defeat shows that women's rights and "Rice Rabbit" have suffered a major setback. Fortunately, both the judge and the lawyers on both sides are women. In the future, I will eat more foreign melons, at least my English will be better.

• The yen, which continues to fall, hit its lowest point in nearly 25 years, and the shock caused can be described as huge. Not only Japan's import and export trade deficit is serious, but people's lives are also greatly affected. Even Apple unexpectedly announced a price increase after the press conference. For example, the new MacBook Air asks for 160,000 to 200,000 yen, which is an increase of $200 compared to the M1 in the United States and 50,000 yen in Japan. Both product lines will also increase. Price starts at 20,000. Perhaps it is also to avoid overheating of the parallel market.

Japanese drama world

• The tier list v12.4 of the Japanese drama recommendation rankings has been updated, and the final ranking of the spring season has been determined.

※Always※

• "17-year-old Empire" EP5, Prime Minister Jun's private production of AI accidentally leaked, the approval rate fell below 30% and resigned, UA was taken over by the Minister of Finance (Someya), and the "doing evil" Ji Benming gave way to Love Drinking Protein Gen Hoshino of powder milkshakes. It can't be said that this drama is going high and low, because there is no such thing as a high vision or pattern. The gap in visual effects can be bridged by increasing investment, and the old and rigid script narrative is a stubborn disease that goes deeper into the bone marrow.
• "Countdown 10 Seconds to the Future" EP8-9, Coach Kirizawa and Saijo stayed in the boxing club in their own ways. In the last episode, Kirisawa defeated the Sandman, and he liked to mention the happy ending of both career and love. Moderate size, low ambition, just the right episode.

• "Honest Real Estate" EP9-10, the ninth episode explores the right to sunshine and the right to view, Kana Canako and Haruka Fukuhara launched "Women's War", and the finale made a cameo appearance, and Yamazaki Nu appeared again. After the curse is lifted, the air blowing effect is removed, and the quality of the episode is significantly improved.
• "My cuteness is about to expire? "EP8-9, Win Morisaki, who was mistaken for his ex-boyfriend, made a cameo appearance. These half-hour "skirts" may prove to be a big hit in the next few years as screenwriting talent dwindles. "Douyin Drama" is also close at hand.

※Continued review※

• "13 retainers of Kamakura" EP22-23, after the death of Yae, Yoshiki's remarriage became a major attraction, and Mayu Horita made his debut. In the Kamakura shogunate there are constant disputes, and today's hunters may become tomorrow's prey. Kentaro Sakaguchi was with Yae's son Kongo when he came out.
• "Sustainable Love? "EP7-8, "Queen of Shadows" Takinai Gongmi officially joined, Morisaki Win came back again, and the suits seemed to be different sets. Since the "male second" Isomura Yuto temporarily retreated and left for Paris, the main storyline has been a little pale, but fortunately, the "skeleton love" between Matsushige Feng and Igawa Haruka is full of jokes and peaks.

• "Xing Xinyi Short Story Collection" EP9-10, the ninth episode "On the Dim Planet" invites Shota Someya, and the tenth episode "The Man in White" is Takito Kenichi and Murakami Hiroro. Seeing this, the creativity and settings began to repeat, and the aftertaste and depth of each episode were also uneven.
• "Ex-Boyfriend's Will" EP8-9, guest starring such as Taro Suruga and Riko Naikai. "Shinoda" Oizumi Hiro's departure from the town turned out to be related to a murder case, and "Barrister" Ayase Haruka still only cares about what to eat for the next meal.
• "Chair" EP2-3, the second episode is still starring Yoshioka Riho, the third episode "Going to the Beach" atmosphere is in place, and Horiuchi Mayu super steals the show.
• "The Giants" EP8-9, Nozomi Sasaki's secretary's temperament has changed greatly, and the hot spring mixed bath is a bit too much.

※Review※

• "LEGAL HIGH" S1EP11&SP1, a year later, Gu Meimen and Xiaodai went to court, and the human rights lawyer, father, ex-wife and Miki (Katsuhisa Igase) who appeared in the whole season formed the Avengers alliance, and Koike Eiko also had a wonderful role. SP1 tells about a school bullying case, with luxury cast members such as Eikura Nana, Ito Sally, Ono Hanari, Hirosue Ryoko, Kitaoji Shinya, etc., the story is reversed back and forth, and the setting of the truth cloud and fog barrier is far away from the first episode of the first season see. Gu Meimen's golden sentence "The essence of bullying is air" is simply deafening.

• "The Penultimate Love" S1EP10-11, Noriko directly hit the kiss between Qianming and Heping on the sofa, and the two separated for a while. The surprise birthday of the Nagura family will make Qian Ming feel warm, and she is willing to admit defeat to Heping for the first time. At the end of the first season, Qianming and Heping each "break up", and casually said "like" on the side of the road at Gokurakuji Station. The uncle's Qianming and the aunt's peace are together like this.
• "Kisarazu Cat's Eye" EP9 & MOVIE1, in the last episode, the partners took Obuchi to Tokyo to open their eyes, and they happened to meet a baseball team member and former best friend (wife and husband Mu Satoshi). In the last days of my life, I am still doing insignificant things. I am dying, and I have gone around the gate of hell. Let's get up and play. The first film "Japan Series" has a bigger battle and a more whimsical plot. There is even a Godzilla-level special effect monster at the end, but the plot structure is the same as the ninth episode. Uchimura Mitsuyoshi, Funakoshi Eiichiro and other guest appearances.

• "Spider-Man" No Way Home, finally took time to watch this "Super Hero" movie, the theme is multiple personalities and parallel universes, the special effects and performances are remarkable.
• The documentary "Image Century" EP11, the last episode of the series 1, spans Meiji, Taisho, and Showa, and narrates the modern history of Japan that was scattered throughout the past. During World War II, the United States filmed the "enemy movie", and the evaluation of Japanese-style brainwashing education was: mass production of imperial people who lacked independent thinking. How similar the history is.
