Fragile 終わり
Well, it has been a LONG period of statis, but today I am stoked to say I have finally finished watching the Emi Takei/Tomoya Nagase medical drama FRAGILE, and it was as terrific as I expected it to be!!!
As you may or may not know, Fragile has had the bad luck of being dropped by not one but TWO subbing teams in the course of its run- the first time it got dropped was at episode 4 and though there was a brief respite when someone else picked it up for episodes 5 and 6, they too dropped it, leaving us Fragile fans in unsubtitled limbo! From there I had listed Fragile as an "On Hold" drama on my viewing list, but as the months and MONTHS went by, I gave up hoping.
Not that I can really blame these subtitlers...they aren't getting paid for their work and in a case like Fragile, the stories are filled with SO MUCH medical terms and jargon, it would give ANY translator a run for their money!!! But it was that same reason that I really couldn't watch them without subtitles. I feel I can understand the 'basics" when watching regular shows, but a show so reliant on facts and procedures would just leave me in the dark if I tried to watch it 'guessing" my way through!
So I was stunned and happily surprised beyond belief when, a good 8 months since it went on hiatus, I just happened to visit the good folks over at Doramatique Subs and found that they had taken it upon themselves to translate and sub Fragile's final 4 episodes!!! Oh MY GOSHHH!!! I wasted NO TIME getting those subs and THANKING them before running for the snacks to sit down and watch the rest of the show to see just WHAT happened to Emi Takei and Tomoya Nagase's fate!
Have to say that picking this show up was like I'd never left it, the characters are so much fun and so likeable, and the stories themselves got downright intense at times!!! Such a great feeling to go back and visit, and now it's all over and I leave it once again...but this time with a warm sense of closure!!!
