So basically the story is about a young screenwriter that needs to go to a place to gather ideas but due to a snowstorm he ended up staying at a small town in Hokkaido. It's fascinating to see how you yourself are getting along with the drama and the characters. Not so many events occur, but it's a realistic story and very amusing. The actors played naturally, but don't worry there's plot twists as well :) Did I say it was comedic?
However, if you're bored and feel like you want to watch something that doesn't require intense concentration, this is the drama you can watch. Relax and enjoy!

Our main lead in this drama is a slightly delusional over dramatic and very imaginative young screenwriter from Tokyo who ends up in this corner of the world by accident. And joins the two handymen Matui and Umemoto, Wich insists that he is his long lost son.
The drama for me can be described as "snowy chaos".
In this town were nothing happens imaginations run wild and drinking is the way to end the day. The 3 handymen create and solve lots of chaos and curious cases such as "Yuki onna", or "the match girl".
The humor is very Japanese. Wacky and over the top. Sometimes a hit and sometimes a miss for me.
The scenery is absolutely breathtaking taking place far from the big city seemingly in almost untouched nature. This is also kind of how the drama felt to me. Like somewhere in nowhere. Where there is no "monotone" daily schedule with people more happy and generally open.
What made me give a higher score than I originally intended were two things. The character growth our main lead makes, (Wich becomes apparent in the later episodes) and how you can see how 3 people with very strong characters seem to grow together and become unlikely friends. The last episode for me was surprising and revealing.
Oh and also,..... They broke a world record... So that was pretty cool
