I've been wanting to see this one since I saw Matsumoto Jun was starring in it. Unfortunately, I could not find it anywhere and without subs, I couldn't even attempt to find it available on a Japanese site. Then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed it was on Amazon. I went out and got snacks as I wanted to be prepared to watch as many episodes I was able to in 1 day. There I sat, surrounded by snacks... With the remote in my hand, I logged into Amazon and added it to my watchlist. Then I hit play.
It started to play but there were no subs. I tried to select English subs but there were none available. I WAS CRUSHED! I was so close to be able to finally watch this and because there were no subs, I wasn't going to be able to watch at all!
Then today, I was online checking out current Japanese dramas and someone mentioned they were looking for the subs to Dou Suru Ieyasu. I nodded and I said to my laptop, "I am too". Then, there was a comment below it saying how Amazon had it with subs so it's "free" if she has prime. I wanted to comment that there were no English subs available but I decided to go look JUST IN CASE and sweet baby Jeezus, THERE WERE ENGLISH SUBS AVAILABLE!
So, guess what I'm about to do? Correct. I'm going to watch an episode before I go to work.
Synopsis from the official Dou Suru Ieyasu site:
A fresh take on the life of the titan Shogun who ended the age of war.
The boy was all alone. Without country, a father, and torn away from his mother. And being hostage of an "ally" clan, Takechiyo (as an adult, Ieyasu) can only imagine ending his life in quiet obscurity... BUT.
Moved by the passions of the samurai in the land of his birth (Mikawa), the young Ieyasu accepts his fate as lord of a weak nation and jumps into the fray of war! It is a world teeming with lethal shoguns like Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, each vying to take his slice of the pie and reign supreme.
What awaits him? Life-or-death danger! Miscalculation after miscalculation! Patience wearing thin!
What will you do, Ieyasu?
No backing, no resources; the only thing Ieyasu has are his strongminded vassals.
And he is faced with strongmen of which there seems no end: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sanada Masayuki, Ishida Mitsunari...
The result is a 62nd Taiga series that is one thrilling epic entertainment!
