1. | Comments by occultangle [Rating: 8/10] What a wonderful idea for a drama. Matsushima Nanako's performance was great. Seeing her as three differant characters gives a strange impression, that lends an almost mystical quality to the story, which would have been lost if they had used different actresses. The only problem is the third story, mostly because the male lead is horrible and I find it hard to believe any one could fall in love with him. Also I feel that by taking place mostly outside of japan it sort of lessens the value of seeing the progression of time into the present. |
2. | Comments by Eyrien* [Rating: 8/10] An interesting drama special that is a tribute to the 20th century. Matsushima Nanako plays three different generations of women in Japan, during the early 1900's as an aristocrat, a teacher during post WWII, and a businesswoman of today. The drama is divided up into three different sections, and each section is truly a love story. Matsushima Nanako is the only actress that stays constant throughout the series, all of the other characters change. My personal favorite is the third section, with Watabe Atsuro. Definetely something to watch! |
3. | Comments by 206 [Rating: 8/10] What a nice story with a historical context. The struggles of Japanese women over the last century are many with the constant being relationships and love.
Nanako Matsushima is hands down the best actress around and she gives the most for the 3 roles. Nice series. |
4. | Comments by Bud002 [Rating: 9/10] Nanako is such a great actress! She plays three different women within three different generations. Each of which tells a story of struggle which spans from the taisho period to the present. Kind of educating because it reflect the social landscape of a changing Japan. |
5. | Comments by majinbads [Rating: 5/10] Though I love Nanako, this drama doesn�t have much appeal other than her. Nana chan plays 3 girls of different generation of a family. Quite disappointing to me. Simply too much of her in a story made to appeal to the women. Kumene, Nana chan, I only say what I felt. |
6. | Comments by cass_dust [Rating: 8/10] good acting by nanako!!
Basically the story may be a bit slow, but definitely has its meaning and portrayed on how the women shows their strength when coping with difficult situation and their fight for love.
Very touching and on drama to watch, esp for nanako.. |
7. | Comments by jdfan [Rating: 9/10] It's interesting to watch how a woman's position in the world periodically changed in the last century. Matsushima Nanako is believable as the three women and supporting roles are as good. A family type show with good stories that tied together. Nanako was very good. |
8. | Comments by loveaomori [Rating: 3/10] Very boring, If you learned something historical in this dorama it means that you haven't been attending school as you should have! Besides, Masushima is just ugly, her face looks like a half cut lemon! poor girl!! and poor Sorimachi..... |
9. | Comments by Nat [Rating: 9/10] All the 3 stories are really great, the first one has a boring starting but a incredible turnaround, the second one is a little predictable but still very touching and the last one is very beautiful. Nanako did a great work in his drama. |
10. | Comments by Michi [Rating: 6/10] It's okay, but i dont really like period / historical drama. Eventhough the 3rd generation lives in a modern life but it is very boring and typical! but i guess its ok the actress is nanako matsushima. so it is watchable :P |
11. | Comments by ystlu [Rating: 9/10] A near perfect drama series. Points off for the last story of the century-
slow moving, bad acting, unbelievable plot. While the first two stories
are full of redemptive themes, the last one is practically a joke. |
12. | Comments by Akakage [Rating: 9/10] I think Nanako has given her best performance in this drama. She has proven herself not as the pretty Japanese drama queen but also a good actress. I like her character in this drama...all three of them. |
13. | Comments by AjiKan [Rating: 9/10] Very good. Each time period had very good points, but i liked the Taisho period the best. A nice way to see how women have progressed in Japan through the past century. The end turned out well. 9/10 |
14. | Comments by tabana [Rating: 6/10] Considering it took me 2 years to finish this... ^_^;
1st story is ok, 2nd one barely meh... 3rd one is great and funny. Way too dramatic, except for the last one which is an 8. |
15. | Comments by sinned12 [Rating: 9/10] This is why I like Matsushima Nanako because of performances like these. She's really great in this drama. She showed how she can portray 3 different yet similar roles. |
16. | Comments by Lady Zhuge [Rating: 8/10] This was my first Japanese drama ever. It didn't get me interested in watching more at the time, but I do remember enjoying the 3 stories. |
17. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10] drama revolves around 3 women in different times�makes me remind of oshin..dorama of the sacrifices these women had to make�good story |
18. | Comments by busususu [Rating: 10/10] Excellent drama! I love how it talks about 3 generations' love story. Very touching! As usual, great acting skill by Nanako!! |

21. | Comments by chin5 [Rating: 10/10] Very moving. Culturally , this revealed the feelings of Japanese women through the changing times towards the modern era |
22. | Comments by MixxDreamer [Rating: 9/10] good drama, i agree with the rest, it was a bit confusing, i had to watch them twice before i even get it ;P |

26. | Comments by arwenna [Rating: 8/10] Liked the way the story went, the continuity would be better if the last story was a bit more clear. |
