Dear Sister

I really liked Ishihara Satomi's character, or at least she was acted very well, and she was also the character I connected with the most. On the other hand, Matsushita Nao still has a lot of catching up to do, as I sometimes found her acting really awful – although maybe it was just her character? I watched the series as it was coming out, so I daresay if I had watched it all at once I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Anyway, I found it interesting, kind of natural Japanese somehow, and very sympathetic to the characters in its way. It's not a heavy drama, or a comedy, or a terrible romance, but it has its charm. Plus, Hirayama Hiroyuki is starting to turn into an actor I'll be looking for more of in the future. (Not to mention that I was blatantly shipping his character with Ishihara's the whole time.) An ordinary story of two sisters spiced up with a bit of stubbornness and lack of communication. A weaker 4 stars. (15/01/2015)
