To begin with, I should say that I cried a lot, I was extremely moved by many moments.
At first I discovered the drama because of the music and every time it played I would burst into tears. When you catch the references throughout the series it's very emotional, like the strawberry scene, when you notice the fish scene...
I believe a lot in destiny, and that was exactly the case, I identified with the story a few times, and when I realized it, it was a new reason to cry.
It hurt deep in my soul to see all the time they wasted, the dreams they gave up on realizing, hurts to know everything she could have been, what they could have been if her mother hadn't done that, and then her mother still comes with the hypocritical talk that her (the mother's) fate was terrible? Everything was her fault and hers alone (it made me very angry).
I cried really hard in the scene where she was working cleaning while watching the flight attendants pass by, living the life she dreamed of living.
To top it off, I found the ending extremely rushed, it could have shown her meeting his family, her son discovering his mother's story. I was happy that they made their dreams come true. But I found the son's romance with the dancer a bit drawn out, I understand that because of that he got a lot closer to his mother and Namiki, but I found it so boring (It seemed like they were trying to promote some career, it wasn't natural).
Namiki is the embodiment of my ideal type, and their story is the most perfect thing, all the encounters and disagreements brought them together on the same path. It was emotional to discover the moment they fell in love for the first time they teenagers were the most perfect and cute thing).
