[wayer]

I have to thank @titania1000 for writing in the last entry of this topic "this drama is made for rewatch" which made me search for Quartet with subs. Takako Matsu and Matsuda Ryuhei are in the list of my faves act for so long, and I did watch Quartet without subs when it first aired, which dampen my spirit to continue watching. Then I found this topic in Soompi (I only commented in the Korean section... haha)

 

So I watched it with subs, and I agree, the drama is so entertaining and made for rewatch. I like how the writer made their relationship so real, bound by their passion to string instruments and music.

 

It touches me deep too, about Maki and Mikio relationship. How they perceive differently about each other, and how when one is still in love, but not adoring the person and find the relationship sour.

 

It is ironic, how Maki is comfortable with her husband, but her husband find her character becoming boring. While, when Maki is with Doughnuts Hole, she can be herself and none of the members hated her.

 

The "kataomoi" theme that the writer played in the drama is lovely and so annoying at the same time  but I wish for Beppu+Maki and Iemori+Suzume anytime anywhere. Episode 8 and 9 will linger long in my heart... 

 

And the fried chicken with lemon and parsley thing... hahaha...

 

Sometimes family is not bound by blood or marriages, but could be by other ridiculous fate
