I have watched the series twice and I can guarantee that you will like it even if you are glued to western culture. This is not my first J-drama, I loved "The Full Time Wife Escapist", if you are interested in the psychology of characters. Ko Shibasaki, which I simply adore after this series, interprets astonishingly the frustration of a violinist genius who lost hearing. The truth is that I am less into a great scenario (this series has a great scenario, story, everything by the way), and more for real emotions shown truly and deeply on screen, and Orange Days excels on them! By the way, first time I watched it continuously, from one end to the other; couldn't stop ... I strongly recommend it!
