Review of Rumbling Hearts
This was a really, really good dramatic series. I found myself riveted to the story line and wondering what was going to happen next. What is so great about this story is that all the characters are "good people" and no one does anything really selfish that leads to pain and suffering of others. Yet due to difficult circumstances, the protagonist boy Takayuki must make choices, and those choices come back to haunt him later in the story. All the characters are well developed, and you can empathize with each one, and understand their perspective and their pain. I think the moralof this story may be simply that life is not fair, and even when everyone tries their best and does the right thing for a situation, there are going to be people hurt and winners and losers in life.
