Sakura, who was born in Kagoshima High School, was on a school trip in Tokyo, and together with Heaven, he rescued an elderly man who had a sudden illness.

But when she finally came to the hospital in heaven to start work after all the hardships, she found that the heaven before her was very different from the gentle image of five years ago.

Stills of "Love Without End"

If only one word can be used to describe "Love Without End", it is probably "Mary Su". Inherited from many settings as the original girl manga: including the hero and heroine is the neighbor next door, the sister who misunderstands that the cohabitation is the girlfriend of the hero, the rich second generation who is killed halfway is attracted by the pure and unpretentious heroine, etc. After that, I can’t help but look up to confirm if it’s 2020. But it is this clichéd setting that makes the show's ratings in Japan rise in every episode, and it also sparked discussion among Chinese netizens. After all, it is not Mary Su that the audience hates, but the badly filmed Mary Su.

"Love is endless" The outstanding performance of the two leading actors is worthy of praise first. Although Shangbaishi Mengyin, who plays the heroine, is not a big beauty in the traditional sense, she portrays the most common but hard-working female images in Japanese TV dramas. On the other hand, the male protagonist Takeru Sato played the role of a madman pretending to be an X madman if he went wrong. At the same time, the show is not just focusing entirely on the love of the hero and heroine. Compared with many TV dramas with "professional dramas" with sheep's heads, the discussion of hospital work in "Love Is Unending" is much more solid.

on Shiraishi Moe sound as Sakura Nanase

, including other doctors and nurses in the hospital, each has a three-dimensional background setting. Whether it is the afterlife doctor who hides his feelings for the heroine, the new nurse Sakai with the "perfect personality" on his back, or the nursing director Negishi who feels guilty for his son, they are not the decorations to set off the protagonist, but to become An indispensable element for an orderly plot.

On the other hand, the patients who join each episode in the form of a unit drama add more diversified points to the plot. From how to deal with the patient's unreasonable request, to discussing the meaning of death and life, the drama has more depth than Mary Su. It is precisely these factors that make "Unending Love" a "net celebrity drama" that everyone can't stop watching.

Sato Takeshi as Heavenly 浬

Finally, I will return to the beginning of Sato Takeshi. In fact, many of his fans were dissatisfied when the drama trailer and news were first released. Although generally known as "male protagonist" in Chinese, according to the strict rules of "fanwei" in Japanese TV series, he is only a supporting role other than the protagonist Shang Shiraishi Mengyin. But what everyone didn't expect was that the play became another opportunity for him to become a topic actor (the last time was the morning play "Half Min, Blue" about two years ago). And outside the play, whether it is the officialThe interesting daily reports from Fang's account almost every day, as well as live broadcasts on other apps, and direct calls with fans, all made him feel like a boyfriend (boyfriend in Japanese). The experience of Takeru Sato probably reminded all the people in the show business circle that, compared with the meaningless superficial skills such as entanglement and drama, conscientiously grasping and completing each performance is the right path to success.
