Started watching Shogun

I like Fuji. Everyone else makes me mad. Even John Blackthorne because he shouts too much. And he鈥檚 a pirate. 馃き Okay, so he鈥檚 more likable as the show goes on, but only a little.
Mariko鈥aybe. She鈥檚 funny at times. She gave Kiku a less honest translation of what John said to her. That made me laugh.

John: Tell her prostitutes from my homeland are never as inquisitive or nicely put together. *blush*

Mariko: He prefers women from his homeland. 馃槕

John: Tell her I don鈥檛 have the words to express how grateful I am. *blush*

Mariko: He said thanks. 馃槖


Other times, I get it. She has a very tragic backstory, and she鈥檚 made herself cold-hearted in many ways.

Fuji, though. I thought she was just a character with terrible things constantly happening to her. But when she got more scenes and showed her personality, I just find her so quirky and funny. She promised to guard John鈥檚 guns, and threatened people who tried to take them even though she was crying before about having to serve John. Her crying in another scene, begging John to let them get rid of the stinky rotting pheasant. 馃槀馃様

Is this the mini-series from the eighties???

@bookerdana No. This is still in the progress of being made. That one might also be based on the book.

@Colonelmustardseed They are both based on James Clavell's book of the same name.
