I had to go and add another one of your wonderful Good Luck! icons to my user icon list :D
EEEE! Icon angst! I thought I will never be having “icon angst”, but it is coming to it – I was really frustrated when I had to delete some icons this week.
the actress who played Ogawa put a lot of people off with her prickly portrayal of Ogawa. Also, most people think she's not glamorous looking enough.
This should not be a problem, as a fact – I noticed that about 80% of dorama heroines are prickly in demeanor. (and the rest of 20% are saints). But you are definitely right that the is not enough of usual angst. This is appealing to me now. :D
Another thing is that it's a fairly simple storyline but I like the fact that Shinkai and Ogawa despite their initial antagonism are friends almost from the start and are attracted from the start.
You are right – this is again very un-cliché!!
Mr Shinkai: I want you to man a much bigger ship, not a tiny one like this. Man a big ship and go places where there's only the sea, 360 degrees around the compass.
Shinkai: (translating for Makoto) He says you can't man a big ship if you're dumb
And this conversation is hilarious.
He's just an ordinary pilot who was bottom of his class but loves flying. :) I've watched the drama quite a few times and I suppose I count it as one of my 'comfort' watches - good for cheering one up and all that sort of thing :) Sorry for waffling....
This is what again goes against cliché’s (and one of my favorite cliché’s too), that a main hero has to be out of ordinary somehow. But it is really difficult to pull “ordinary guy” off, make him interesting to the viewers. I think Takuya did the great job. I also find “good Luck” very comforting, it gives a lovely message that even if we are ordinary (and oh man, I am ordinary so this is for me) we can do great things if we try hard.
And the other message is that the heart matters over the brilliance.
