First Kiss (2007)

¡La definición de ternura no es suficiente! Aunque parezca extraño, el dorama tuvo la excelente decisión de enfocar el amor fraternal antes que el de la pareja, transformándolo en una historia única que hace valorar más a tu propia familia.

Los actores de verdad supieron jugársela al tratar con una trama sencilla y a la vez delicada. La música recuerdo haberme sentido agradada por escuchar el opening cada vez que iniciaba un episodio, y el romance fue muy satisfactorio ^w^, con un excelente sabor de boca.

¿Qué le cambiaría?... Nada, es perfecta en su completa sencillez, sumando todos los ingredientes con exactitud: amor, ternura, drama, fraternidad, alegría y amistad.

This drama is probably one of the most under-rated ones amongst Japanese fare. A very touching story of a terminally ill but spirited young girl who rediscovers what life is all about. People doubting Mao chan's acting prowess should watch this and shut up. She has single-handedly carried the burden of the story in this drama. The relationship between the brother-sister duo is portrayed with sensitivity, ditto with the love story. The side characters like Banba san or any of the brother's friends or the doctors have given fitting support to the leads. Must watch if you like emotional, slightly slow-paced dramas.

This is a drama that really is hard to rate. Why? Simply because I was never crazy about the lead female, Mio. She drove me crazy. Her brother, Kazu, was wishy-washy but if if look at the fact that they portrayed those characters as they should have, they were great. I loved the little Doctor You had to suspend belief that someone so young could be a heart surgeon but then I've pretty much have gotten used to that in JDramas that I've watched. The story was nicely done in showing a young woman with an illness wanting to see her brother for possibly the last time. As far as the end, still contemplating that. But one thing has bothered me. Why was this the first time in 10 years that she had seen her brother?
