Song:Let Me Go by Jacky Cheung

Last night, I just finish watching 华丽なる一族/ Karei Naru Ichizoku. It's been a long time since I watch a Japanese drama. I also cannot remember which is the last Jap-drama that I completed. There are a few that I just watch half way here and there which includes 

萤之光/ Hotaru no Hikari, 交响情人梦/ Nodame Cantabile. Both the shows are romantic comedy whereas 华丽なる一族 is Human drama/Finance/Romance, a more serious type of drama.

Originally a novel by Yamazaki Toyoko, and later a 1974 movie, Karei naru Ichizoku depicts the conflicts within the Manpyo family, famous in Kansai's financial circles, amidst the tumultuous reorganization of the financial industry of the late 1960s.

This story was introduced to me by Junkai, one of my ex-campmate. Actually, he introduced the novel to me first. But since I am unable to get a copy of that, so I catch it on video. The lead actor of the show is Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura. I think he plays a major factor in why this show has very high viewership.

I would give this show a rating of 8 out of 10.
