“u0026quot; Ao no Kaerimichi u0026quot; told the story of a group of friends with big dreams that ended up being crushed by reality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy main problem with the drama was that they had a big number of stories to present but they didnu0026#39;t have enough time to present them well. If this was a tv series, the story would have been more in depth explored as well as the characters messed up lives that were sometimes tangled up together. The big climax of the drama was when the friends have to meet again due to a tragedy, and itu0026#39;s when they realize that they indeed have not made their dreams come true. That said, the performances were really good and some of the scenes were nicely filmed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, overall, six and a half out of ten.”
