Over Time - Drama review

OverTime is an old japanese drama. it was aired on 1999, and i was only 10 years old then..
i just finished watching the drama this week since I cant find any dramas that suit my taste, so i stuck with the old dramas.. at first i was thinking of watching a girly drama which is Sutaa no Koi, however, OverTime caught my interest instead..

OverTime started lovely. in a house full of old ladies, a younger man meets an older woman (well, i love younger man x older woman themes.. haha!) and they become friends. they have their own love life, thus they get each other opinions and share their problems. for them, nothing is secret and nothing should be ashamed of. at first for me, they seem more like a brother and a sister compared to lovers.

still, they dont realized how precious they are for each other. they become part of each, causing jealousy and so on. to make things short, after a while, they realize that the soulmate they trying to find is right beside them.

like all romance drama, you will expect a happily ever after type of ending, with the main guy gets the main woman, getting married, and so forth. however, OverTime is totally different! the ending is logical (really does reflect our real life), but it makes me disappointed as the main girl and the main guy remain as friends eventhough they loved each other.

i dont know why on earth the girl does not want to marry the guy, and why the guy wants the girl to leave him and marry someone else.. for the guy, he thinks that he is not enough to give the girl all the happiness she should have, and for the girl, she just chose the second lead just because the main guy says so.. it is just so bullshit! yup, i agree if i was in the girl's shoes, i'll choose the second lead as he is more mature, has stable economic background (he is a doctor, hehe), and older than me (actually i do not really mind the age, but the main guy is too young to be compared with the main girl), and not because someone else says so.. but, after a while, the ending is getting into me, and yes, sometimes your soulmate will just be a friend and not more than that. that's how life is.

overall, it is nice. not overrated like current japanese dramas which is full of fairytales. however, watching fairytales once in a blue moon doesn't hurt that much.. :p
