Curtain Call
Curtain Call (1984) ⭐️ 8/10The story follows Miho as she pursues her dream in the musical world while also searching for her biological parents. Every year on her birthday, she receives flowers from someone she calls "Daddy-Long-Legs," whom she believes to be her father. It turns out the sender was using a random name, but along the way, Miho meets someone who truly feels like a father figure to her.
As we follow Miho’s journey, viewers are treated to beautiful scenery in every scene! Plus, since this is a semi-musical, there are plenty of songs and some really cool ballet choreography.
I really liked the heroine! She’s not only beautiful, but her acting and dancing are amazing 🥹🫶🏻 And guess what? She later played the mother of the heroine in Asadora Ohisama and the mother of the male lead in Hanbun Aoi! When I watched those dramas, I remember thinking how stunning she was, no wonder, she was already so talented and gorgeous at a young age! Harada Tomoyo plays Miho so well, especially in the ballet scenes and during her musical audition practice 💯.
And what I loved the most was the ending! It was so sweet how her mother and Takuji grew close because of Miho. In a way, Miho not only found a father figure for herself, but also helped her mother who had given up her youth to raise her find love again. It’s like her mother finally got to enjoy her youth too. So heartwarming!
Overall, I recommend Curtain Call (1984)! The main character is likable, she works hard to achieve her dreams, the visuals are beautiful, and it leaves you with a warm feeling thanks to its touching family themes.
