Basically, this is a typical J-drama. You can tell by its messages: never give up, pursue your dreams, and value the friendship. What makes this drama special are for sure the setting and the story. There're not so many drama dealt with Antarctic, right? But for me personally, the casts were more special. They were all stunning!! Yes, all the casts, including the dogs. I have no idea how the director, or whoever, had the dogs acted perfectly for this drama. Their facial expressions were just awesome!! I mean it. Not to mention their bonding with the "real" casts. It was precious! I recommend this drama to those who love Japanese spirit, those who love a heart-warming story, those who love beautiful scenery, those who love dogs, and last but not least, those who love Takuya Kimura ^^ ps: I suppose this is the most costly J-dramas ever!
