Obviously the runaway popularity inspired the second ending, and really, it's a much more original dovetail than I would have expected (since it worked parallel to the original story). No dramatic production captures an experience as you personally went through it. What I consider to be so wonderful in this film is how it puts forward that sense of so many folks piling on, with different ideas, reactions, thoughts, all over, interacting with this person, which is very much the feeling of a BBS. Just because your romance isn't like Romeo and Juliet doesn't mean it's shallow; it just means that Romeo and Juliet's a lot of fun to watch and maybe you see a few echoes. I'm way ahead of you on the Japan trip. I loved the additional of a second ending, so to each his own.

I got sucked into this thing and watched it over two days. I think that I'm drowning in cuteness. Very cool stuff, though I could have done without the second ending. I spent years on BBSes back in the day, and my experiences were never as poignant as portrayed here. J-Drama is an interesting art form, but do you really think that this captured your experiences? If so, I think mine were rather shallow. And also now I'm contemplating a trip to Japan. Holy crap. I got sucked into this thing and watched it over two days. I think that I’m drowning in cuteness.

I wonder if he posts to 4-ch? I saw this when it was airing in Japan, and I was really psyched because I know all about this kind of BBS, and here was this drama-- the most popular drama in Japan-- and the entire family was watching the BBS users.
