I am afraid that NHK long dramas are going to disappear in the near future.
I am dead tired of kinds of template scenario.
I doubt whether there is a template of the long dramas, for example, start from boyhood, feud with parents, first love that should be broken, and bloodshed scene in youth.
I (maybe more younger generation too) have a habit to skip uncheerful scenes under the influence of Youtube, and I have no spirit and power to catch up with ambiguous stories.
I don't understand why program producers try to serialize the scenes from youth period, though the scenes appear.
If they want to present a strategist, I expect the strategist's plans, dark designs, concoctions, and immorality in order to win the battle.
I don't care his girlfriend in his youth and his family at all.

Added,
The story "he sworn to end the war era" is old and annoying me.
To begin with, a strategist business is making wars, so I think such a fine phrases don't hit my mind.

Hideyoshi:"Kanbei, What do you want?"
Kanbei:"My liege. It goes without saying that I will get a set of women, money, honors"
I am really going to want to watch the scenes with a serious mind.
