Takane No Hana 終わり

I was quite taken by this Satomi Ishihara drama with its classic take of the rich-socialite girl who falls for the kind, humble and poor man (A twist on Satomi’s drama Rich Man, Poor Woman!) and it’s backdrop of the refined world of Flower Arranging was a fresh, new take on it!

 Satomi stunned as usual with her portrayal as the beautiful, elegant Momo Tsukushima, add in the sincere performance by Kazunobu Mineta as the guy-with-the-heart-of-gold suitor Naaoto Kazama and you had all the makings of another “Summer Snow” (Hey, that was set in a bicycle repair shop, too!) romance!

Gotta say though, this drama was as topsy turvy as riding a bicycle without training wheels  with all the plots, sub-plots, make-ups and ALL the myriad BREAK-UPS (frankly this was, in my opinion, Satomi’s most cruel and callous drama character ever!) but throughout it all, you never stopped caring about the people in the story, and in the end, Takane No Hana left me with characters who will stay with me for a long time!
