Hello, this is Editor Nko. Last week, I was able to say as much as I wanted in a conversation with the editorial department's Mr. S, also known as Mr. M, but this week I will be sending it to you by myself. This time, it makes me so excited and so sad that I can't even stand watching it! That's what it felt like.
The classic setting for love stories: “Two people who pass each other forever”
Despite receiving such a wonderful letter, Mr. Namahiro still responds with salt. But I'll think about it. He's the younger brother of my mother's enemy. And since I'm the son of a family whose father doesn't get along well, how should I act? That's what I mean. This terrible prank of fate. It can either inflame your love or extinguish it, and it won't happen if you're busy. I find it irritating to watch this kind of love story, which has a classic setting of ``we'll pass each other forever and ever''.
Luxury! Polo from the Heian period? Uchimari scene
This is the first time I've seen a ball called Dakyu. Isn't it exactly polo? The noblemen on horseback look even more cool. The young ladies onlookers were also gorgeous and gorgeous. Mr. M says, ``Isn't it better because it costs less money than shooting a battle scene?'' That's true.
However, Mahiro's costume continues to look dull. Even Kikyo and Sei Shonagon wear 12 hitoes, but Mahiro always wears kosode. Although her costume represents the daughter of a lower aristocrat, it is rather shabby, isn't it?
I imagine that Mahiro's life as a wife will begin in the future, and in the process of becoming the owner of the best salon in the imperial court, she will show a gap in her sophistication. The dramatic nature of the theme music suggests that an even more extravagant world will unfold. I think so, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the unsophisticated princess of a lower class noble will change.
Will eavesdropping be incorporated into “The Tale of Genji”?
Mr. Mahiro overhears the true feelings of the nobles, who say that a woman cannot get promoted unless her family is strong. Ah, how sad. Even though my heart is broken by the heartless words, I'm sure the hurt memories will eventually sublimate into ``The Tale of Genji''. I wonder if there will be a flashback scene of Mahiro saying things like that back then.
The Tale of Genji devotes a large amount of its pages to the ups and downs of a woman's life after marriage. Akashi's life blossoms after an unexpected encounter, and the same goes for Aoi no Ue and Utsusemi, who may have been able to become his successor. It becomes engraved in Mahiro's heart as a wound and as a theme for the story. The motif of the novel may be something like that.
What is the review of “To Shining You”?
"Premium Japan Literature Club" (exaggeration) was formed by people who love literature within the Premium Japan editorial department. For literature lovers, the 2024 taiga drama ``Hikaru Kimi e'' was a perfect opportunity to discuss this and that. Volunteers from the editorial department will continue to freely review articles. Editor S and Editor N reviewed the differences between historical facts and dramas, a deep dive into foreshadowing, and more!
