The series seemed to have stalled in Japan. Ep 9 was only out these 2 weeks (after a lull of about a month). That's not the only thing that has stalled. The plot seems not to be moving either. At ep 9, we are still being introduced new characters. And yes, they have the same problem of the 'sister' taking a fancy on the 'brother/father' figure. While the issues were well portrayed and detailed, haven't we already covered this in the last 7 eps? Ok, there's a slight variation of the girl being anti-social and seeking ONLY to please the 'brother'. But the similarity does give me a 'been there done that' feeling and I found it hard to sympathise with her, having done so for 5 other ones in the previous eps. They should move onto the main plot next, enough character development already. Yes, we know there's a main plot cos the villains have already been introduced. They are in the danger of making this series too melodramatic. Better move on before this degenerates to becoming 'Days of our lives".
