南極大陸～神の領域に挑んだ男と犬の物語～ - Nankyoku Tairiku

[eskarina77]

I started to watch this drama 2 days ago... and it's just a WONDERFUL DRAMA.
Cast, story, making of this drama are just excellent.
Plus, I cherish this story since it reminds me 1st time I went to Japan: When I went to visit Tokyo Tower, I stopped in front of a statue representing a pack of dogs.

A man (that kind of guy who's there to give tourists a tour) approached me and offered to tell me the story of those dogs, if I had time to spare to listen to him. I listened carefully to this wonderful and so moving story: in the late 50's, an expedition to Antartica had to abandon their sled dogs due to bad weather, they had to force their way back to Japan. More than 1 year later, when the next expedition managed to reach Anartica coasts again, with no hope for the dogs, they discovered 2 of them had survived! (ok, that's the very short version of what that man told me)
The statue comemores those dogs.
Here is theme song of the drama:

Yep, some scenes are a little bit cliche (but I love them whatsoever)

I really love all characters and how they play them.
KimuTaku is wonderful...but I also like other actors like Okada Yoshinori (remember Ucchie in Kisarazu Cat's Eyes?), Terajima, Yoshizawa.....

I'm sure I'll cry a lot, but I already love this drama.

About Kimura not playing in a love story, have you ever watched Karei Naru Ichizoku ? I recommend this drama too ^^

that's one of Kimutaku series that I can finished. I got depressed watching the sickening family, especially his dad, and when I jump to the ending (I know very bad) I decide not going to continue it. Sorakara was already shocking for me, Karei Naru is even worse, although I manage to finish Sorakara because the shocking part was at the last episode.

sorry I mean, I can not finished Karei Naru. >.

Karei Naru story was really hard and sad. But actors skills really showed in this drama. That's why I liked watching it. (I cried a mot...but I cry quite easily when, I watch something sad or moving ~~~~~)

Sorakara made me cry a lot too ^^
