Watching this after I finish Gomen, Ashiteru. Thoughts later.

@0ly40 thanks hoping this will be sub too. I like them WOWOW dramas just like I watch OCN dramas

So just finished ep 1 raw. I was clueless throughout the whole episode but I get the drift. But basically didn't understand  anything but still liking the raw.

. Ep 1 was more of flashback how wealthy young Akira cross paths with poor Akira. The two child actors so cute. I like that sweet scene of poor young Akira coming back for their dog.

Spoiler

Left is young Akira Yamasak. On the right.. wealthy Akira Kaido

 

 

I get the feeling that AK ( wealthy Akira) is  kind of weakling. But maybe I just didn't understand. There was a scene where you boy AK got hit on the face after coming out of the cinema

 Present time: I don't like this guy with the glasses always shouting at  AK

Just finished ep 2 raw. It was mostly flashback to their youth.  And as I said previous post, I feel bad for Akira Kaido. I don't know why because I've no idea about the dialogues but.. he's always shouted at like it's his fault or something...

Yes finally 6 episodes sub. My thoughts when I'm done with drama
