Plot Summary:1880's Meiji Japan. It is almost twenty years since the end of the Samurai Era in Japan, one time Tosa Clansman, successful business industrialist, mogul, & founder of Mitsubishi Corporation Iwasaki Yataro (played by Teruyuki Kagawa) is approached by a reporter to recount what he knew of the life of the Tosa Clansman, visionary reformer, & architect of Modern Japan, Sakamoto Ryoma (played by Masaharu Fukuyama). Almost instantly Iwasaki is incensed and overcome by rage & jealousy for throughout his life he had lived in the shadow of his famous beloved clansman. Upon reason, Iwasaki agrees to conduct the interview on the grounds that his recollection would not serve to glorify the memory of Sakamato Ryoma. His memories are painful and numerous which becomes the basis of this 2010 49th NHK Taiga Drama that will go back to the Pre-Bakumatsu period where Iwasaki first encounters a lanky young Kashii named Sakamoto Ryoma - a member of the Lower Caste Samurai of Tosa so named because they were once the rulers of Tosa but fought on the losing side of the Battle of Sekigahara by which the victor Tokugawa Ieyasu punished the Samurai of Tosa to elevating those who sided with him to Joshii (Upper Samurai) and those who lost to Kashii Samurai who must endure the cruel taunts and indignity at the hands of the Joshii. But for Iwasaki his status is even lower for his family had sold their Samurai status to pay off debts. From the moment they met Iwasaki envied the likeable Sakamoto and would grow to ever resent him and his long ascension to success and as a Reformer who through the mentor-ship of Katsu Kaishu (played by Tetsuya Takeda)- a man Ryoma was sent to assassinate but instead became his disciple. Now threatened by the arrival of the American Black Ships, Kaishu would instill upon Ryoma a grander world view that would shape Ryoma to go on to help unify the rival Choshu & Satsuma clans to form an alliance and lay out the plans for a modern post Shogunate Japan. In recounting the story Iwasaki must confront his own deep personal feelings bitterness and spiteful envy to a man who despite Iwasaki's massive wealth in the Post Samurai New Meiji Era is still haunted by a man who long been assassinated and was still beloved by the people of Japan.
坂本龍馬！
有点失望
4.5～
为什么这些演员喜欢用面部抽搐、眼珠暴突来和动不动就大吼大叫来表达内心活动和情绪？
伟大之人的一生，豪华卡司，磅礴配乐。真实励志的日本近代史
本格的な英雄だ。
看剧过半的时候一直很傲娇地想，才没有和主角产生什么太强的情感联结（谁让你没有选我喜欢的女人），那历史时段又太过“波澜壮阔”，作为旁观者就淡漠地看着每个人都领了个不长的剧本，走马灯似的出场又湮灭。可当无情旁白弥太郎开始倒数的时候，尤其到了最后一集，还是掉了大量眼泪。因为每当我觉得你在东奔西跑忙什么不相干的事啊，你在乱哄哄打来打去也讲不清道理怎么回事，你竟然抛下阿龙去和臭男人们喝花酒太过分了，都忘了一件事，他并不知晓自己的终点已经逼近，而我只能看着他一步步走向海的尽头。女性角色里喜欢乙女姐、佐娜和阿元，抬着杠努着劲也要否认阿龙的好，大约是觉得她已经有了龙马的偏爱，我的爱就给其他更可爱的女孩子吧！
龙马从一开始就是人本主义者啊。一个人如何实现同时有大目标和对身边的人好？真有这么理想主义，也一直努力的人吗？
NHK大河入坑剧
后面部分太拖沓了真的是耐着性子看完，而且太过于夸大龙马个人了…不过本来是看了隔壁笃姬来的，比起高高在上的贵族阶层们，朝不保夕的下层民众才是革命的真实吧
从《仁医》到《龙马传》，对幕末的历史有了更形象的了解。
除了主角過於白蓮花、勤王黨劇情太拖沓、維新三傑被黑了個遍之外，其他確實也都還可以了。哎，多麼朝氣蓬勃而又充滿希望的時代啊……
（补评）：看的第一部大河剧是想来提前学学历史的因为仁医非常喜欢坂本龙马但龙马传的龙马和仁医还是很不一样的福泽叔的龙马少了点不羁又多了份肩负责任的沉着感历史的彭湃非常迷人且自带燃点看大河剧有一点好处就是：演员的演技都是可以洗洗眼睛的程度P.S.香川演的岩崎我还是很喜欢的，承包了本剧几乎一半的笑料，结果……大人的世界真的好难顶
顶级
以前读书时，看到说明治维新前日本的社会阶层等级分明，矛盾十分尖锐，“黑船”到来给日本社会带来的震荡等等，当时并没有什么感触。看了《龙马传》后，有了更加直观的感受。时势造英雄，英雄造时势。龙马具有强烈的日本文化特点，却又不是典型的日本人，看来真是佩服。演员演得真好，看剧的时候，常常忘了这是电视剧，就好像历史正在眼前上演。
龙马如果不是历史人物的话，这部就是妥妥的开金手指的大男主剧。
大河剧节奏偏慢一些，看着看着渐入佳境，看到一群人的觉醒，在各种主张中求同存异运作1%的缝隙。怀疑龙马是不是还偷偷拜师魏源学到了师夷长技以制夷
4.6 借用弥太郎的一句话：宝贵的龙马没有了。
近代片的大河剧完全没有那种波澜壮阔的感觉
在文明的十字路口，于个人、于时代、于未来百年国运，都是很微妙的际遇
正片，向上的力量，爱国者上下而求索，美轮美奂的装束，武士刀，和室，还有樱花和如同花一样高洁的人生。看片尾的对现代场景追忆历史片段不难理解他们拜拜jgss时的心情了
很艰难的一段时间里，唯有这部剧，振奋了我，看待人生仿佛也多了一个角度，
