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
It was interesting to see what a big social taboo an older woman/younger man still is in Japan. For me, Noda and Kurosawa are more surely together then they could have been if they were in the same country, but I could be wrong because I haven't seen this "properly". One of the things I noticed about Noda is how reluctant she is in demonstrating her better feeling, even to herself. She obviously loves her girl-friends very much, but she is constantly banters with them and generally doesn't go saying "I love you" often. I think the fact that she is learning Mongolian is a very good indication of her feelings. :D
