I just skimmed her review and she does a very, very good assessment. In fact I agree with most of what she wrote. I guess my problem with the Anego is the difference between why I disliked it and I loved the Sapuri ending. Even though Noda isn't ready to marry Kurosawa by the end of the drama, that's ok. But I would have liked to see them definitively together, and they're not. You can tell they care about each other, they are obviously keeping in touch, but it's hard to call what they're doing as "dating" or even to say that they are "together" in the sense that they would be faithful to each other despite being apart. That's my issue - that the end of Anego doesn't come to a certain conclusion (and the way it's done is even a bit silly) - and that conclusion does NOT have to be marriage for me to be happy with it - it just has to be more conclusive than what we got.
I got the impression that the producers of the drama got cold feet about pairing Akanishi Jin and Shinohara conclusively for some reason because it could very easily have been written to have a more certain ending than it had. I wonder if they thought that viewers wouldn't like to see them together? The drama did well in the ratings, so who knows? It's all speculation now. :)
