How many times or how much did you cry in this episode? Japanese articles talked about the viewers response of drying up tear ducts for this episode
( Read more... )
Ep 4 ended with a major tense cliffhanger, but with your trans for the next story, I guess Shiraishi/Hiyama's convo abt Ogata will be a bit comical? I mean Hiyama can't be THAT heartbroken right? He only said like a few nice things, she can't have fallen that deep already, right? GIRL RUN AWAY FROM HIM HE'S GOT A WIFE
I think there were a lot of negative reactions to Hiyama's "possible" affair story from Japanese viewers. Some said that Hiyama's character (or Toda Erika's acting) doesn't deserve to be degraded into someone who has love troubles. What do u think? For me, I slightly agree with them, I always saw Hiyama as an strong, independent woman that gives no f*cks about men but then I rewatched S1E10. Hiyama said to Shiraishi she doesn't want her to quit because she wants Shiraishi to listen to her love troubles until morning (lmao). And it made me a bit guilty coz I felt like I was projecting Hiyama as some woman who doesn't need a love life when in reality, Hiyama probably has more experience than any of the 5. Maybe not a painful love like Saejima, but you know, the casual, normal relationship phase people go through depsite Hiyama being a doctor. (I mean in S2 she says casually that she wants to go to a goukon, means she appreciates a good social life away from the hospital, unlike Shiraishi and Aizawa who seems to have no interest till now lol)
So while I disagree with Japanese viewers thinking Hiyama's character is degraded just because she might like someone, I DO THINK HER CHARACTER IS TREATED UNFAIRLY BY MAKING HER FALL FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS A WIFE IDK IT SEEMED UNTHINKABLE TO ME OF ALL PEOPLE THE WRITER CHOSE HIYAMA TO HAVE THAT KIND OF COMPLICATED LOVE STORY. But at the same time, while I hate Hiyama's being treated this way, I'm also curious what will happen? How will Hiyama handle this? I don't know, I guess I have mixed feelings for the love elements on Hiyama's part. I can say for sure the person who changed the most in the past 7 years is Hiyama. Saejima and Aizawa have gotten a bit more gentle, Shiraishi's less serious, but Hiyama? I don't know how to explain it but I think she changed the most (in a good way ofc). Everyone matured but Hiyama's maturity level even more compared to S1 & 2. And her voice got deeper too (Along with Shiraishi lol rewatching S1 and Shiraishi's voice was as tiny as a mouse). She just seemed like an impulsive girl before but now really a full blown, mature woman. Then again, when she was complaining about her worries over a younger replacement, it reminds me of when Hiyama was threatened of Shiraishi overtaking her in S2. IDK ITS JUST THE VIBES IM GETTING I FEEL LIKE HIYAMA CHANGED THE MOST I LOVE HER A WHOLE LOT MORE IN S3. Best part about this episode has to be Hiyama x Shiraishi x Saejima's moments I love them so much! Thinking about how much their relationship changed over the years, they're so much more like best friends now. And I'm excited to see we'll get Aizawa x Fujikawa bonding in the next episode. Aizawa despite being the cold guy he is, always knows the right thing to say imo
On Hiyama's story being degraded to a "love story". Same stand. I don't mind giving her a love story but come on, give her something to appease her now troubled soul, not some love affair. She deserves something more than that. I can only blame the new writer for this since I think she has a knack for forbidden type love stories, ugh [Reference: her past getsu9 dramas Shitsuren Chocolatier (adultery), Taisetsu na koto wo subete oshiete kureta (teacher/student)-incidently stars TodaEri too]. SOMEONE STOP HER!!! Of the 5 of them, I also thought of Hiyama as the one who has a social life the most. In addition to those past instances you mentioned, wasn't she also incredulous finding out Shiraishi has a "guy" (S2E4) lol
Female friendship like Shiraishi x Hiyama x Saejima please. Shiraishi & Hiyama of course hit it off first being in the same boat as flight doctors but with Saejima it wasn't too evident until Satoshi's death. It was wonderful to have witnessed it grow, how they supported each other. Like when Shiraishi wanted go quit, Hiyama & Saejima didn't allow her to (S1E10). Shiraishi stood by Hiyama throughout her lawsuit (S2E7) and of course Shiraishi & Hiyama supported Saejima when Satoshi passed away. At present, Saejima is still Saejima snapping at the doctors lol (S3E2) but note that there she asked "is that as a friend..." and it was so nice to see them together all relaxed, celebrating at Mary Jane's bar.
