All over the place...
Sippeatea4 September 2024
This show is all over the place. First of all, at no point in time throughout these 10 episodes did I even for a single second feel as though female lead (FL) and male lead (ML) were right for each other. What a weird pairing. Despite that though, FL can act. She has a wide range of emotions in a sea of stiff performances from everyone else. ML has his moments too that made me change my opinion on him for the positive, but I feel this couple pairing felt too forced.

Second, the young antagonist is comically cringe worthy. What is this acting? Holy, it's bad. And this boy be a freak! He nasty! It doesn't make it better he looks dangerously young. And the story has the audacity to give him a redemption arc. Furthermore, all the scenes that revolve around his business are awful - awful concept, awful music, and awful visuals.

Third, there's a range of random characters thrown into this show. Cosplayer girl, while very cute with her different cosplays and general acting, is such a weird addition to the show. Truth be told though, since this show is kind of bad, I didn't really mind her presence. Even with her limited screen time she spices things up visually. Then there is bike boy... This part of the show was an insane miss. Did not care, this entire plot line should have been deleted from the script.

Lastly, I think the only unique thing this show has to offer is the whole realm of highly professional flower arrangements. Although it is an intriguing concept to center a show around, it's just not for me. While the show does a good job of opening up this world to me for the first time, I didn't find it all practically interesting and felt more disbelief regarding how this could be such a big thing in the first place. How should I say it, it's very Japanese.

Good Enough

Warning: Spoilers
Takane No Hana had it's moments. I liked the main romance, and I would have liked the second one as well, if the guy didn't have an afair with the girl's mother, something that I couldn't overpass, sadly. Another thing was the performances that were really good, especially from the leading lady. Also, Chiba Yudai was especially good in this one. Howevere, other than that, the story got me confused more than just once. Plus, I really didn't get the fascination about flower arrangments, but maybe that was just me. So, six out of ten.

A Well Acted Interesting Drama
fondfoat17 February 2022
A very interesting story with plenty of drama and some excellent acting. I will say that the first 3 episodes are a little slow but then the story picks up. A very interesting story with plenty of drama and some excellent acting. Satomi Ishihara carries the series for the first few episodes, but the longer the show goes the better the rest of the cast becomes. The show looks at the dirty underbelly of those who live in privilege and shows what people will do to obtain or keep those positions. This one is worth watching!

Another garbage Jdrama without Morals!

Warning: Spoilers
Poor Momo, her ex is garbage, her Dad is a selfish lying prick ( I'm talking about both her Dads ), her Step Mom is getting it on with some young guy who her Sister also has the hots for. But dont feel sorry for Momo, she deserves it all after selling out Kazama on her wedding day! Chiba and Nana is just pure disgusting! Like how can you love a man that use to bang your MOM!
