Heartwarming Couple and Community
It's so lovely that Suzu and Issei's friends/coworkers learned sign to communicate with him and I really love how the main couple match each other in both maturity, kindness, and sense of fun regardless of one being in their mid twenties and the other in their mid thirties. It's so beautiful they both become close friends with the other guy who was also interested in her. He's also really nice, as is their whole community. They are going through their respective hardships, but they all help each other out. They showcase some different aspects and attitudes regarding pregnancy with the setting being a gynecologist office. It might not be the message the show is sending directly, but it really is always potentially life threatening for women to give birth even up to today. The stalker storyline felt very abruptly finished. It was missing that transition point where Ban realized he was projecting all his grief and anger onto Suzu. I understand the show wants to portray compassion for someone who is in continual mental distress from grief, but he was clearly a danger to himself or others. It would have been good to see a better way to handle the situation other than let him physically assault the entire clinic staff. The ending of him finally letting go and properly paying attention to raising his daughter is nice though. There are random little moments of sudden humor throughout the show that is fun. The balance of the couple being with each other and their respective jobs, friendships, and family and themselves and some of the other characters getting their own storylines are pretty good. The ending of Suzu and Issei living together at a beautiful seaside home is so sweet.Was this review helpful to you?

Heartwarming masterpiece
This drama had comforting and warm vibe and I really enjoyed that about it. No complicated storyline, conflicts or misunderstandings, just a nice story to chill with. Our main leads Yukimiya and Hiiragi coincidentally meets while camping and then when Hiiragi have to handle the belongings of Yukimiya's deceased mother. I loved their first encounter and their bonding, even tho Hiiragi is using sign language to comunicate but Yukimiya is learning fast so she can understand him better.Another thing that I loved about this drama was the friendship whether it was between the leads or in work, everyone were so friendly here! And every character had a story to tell. Whether it was our leads or the patients in hospital, happiness is different for each person and everyone was through at least one hardship. I think this made the drama even more interesting. I also loved how passionate and hardworking Yukimiya was. She did her best at work as an OBGYN doctor and tried hard to learn sign language. And I absolutely adored her hobby in solo camping! But Yukimiya is carrying one not so pleasing memory from her previous workplace and it all comes back with anonymous comment and sudden visit of husband of her deceased patient. That period was for sure hard for Yukimiya but I feel like she carried it well, and it's only thanks to all the amazing people she had around herself.
The relationship of our main leads was really sweet. I felt like Hiiragi is putting a lot of effort to show Yukimiya how much he loves her and I absolutely adored his hugs, little kisses and all that. He was straightforward not only in this but in life too and his disability didn't stop him in anything. I loved how Yukimiya and Hiiragi were so supportive of each other, the meaningfull quotes this drama had and the ending was pleasing. This drama was heartwarming!

Heart-fluttering. No heavy drama
It was a very pleasant watch. Although it has a very simple storyline, I liked the romance part and all the stories in between. I liked the character development of everyone. I want also to be loved the way the ML loved the FL. The whole show was very sweet and also had a good cry with this one.I don't why ML's directness never bothered me, but the actor really portrayed well and was able to show how much of a ball of sunshine he was. I liked how FL was very stable and sensible. I liked the character development of everyone.

Just perfectly adorable
This might be my new comfort watch. The leads are likeable and there is no unnecessary drama. It's a love story. Simple. Doesn't need bells and whistles. It's got a charming cast who you end up caring about in a short 9 episode arc. I will be looking for more with Takumi Kitamura who is a hug personafied.As the main FL is a gynecologist there are some pregnancy problem storylines which may trigger some though it is very well done.
It's currently free to watch on viki but with ads. So, unfortunately if I want a quick Takumi fix to a certain kiss scene it is hard to jump to it. Lol, only complaint

wholesome romance, touching story, heartfelt moments, hidden gem
I’ve really enjoyed watching this drama, I found it so peaceful and wholesome. The chemistry and relationship the leads had was both realistic and healthy.There were a few triggering points and real life issues along the way, that I think these unique characters brought to life and resolved in a most humane way.
my favourite thing about this drama was the natural pacing of the story and how all the characters blended well into playing heartfelt roles of their own
A healthy, warming and wholesome romance mixed nicely with the traditional elements of any J drama, quirky, a bit weird and absolutely funny, this made the best J drama I’ve ever watched and one of my favourites this year.
100% recommend!!

Awesome story
I just finished this drama so I might get a little emotional writing this.It's honestly one of the most beautiful drama/serie I've ever watched. The 45-50 minutes of each episodes just fly by. The story is so deep and beautiful, I love the fact that we're also following the story of some of the side characters. There's also a form of found family trop in this, and the atmosphere was so warm and comfortable.
I loved the sign language side of it, as it includes deaf person and makes us try to understand them better. We also explore many sides of grief, which is expressed really differently depending on the person, and I loved that this show addressed it.
The last episode made me tear up by how beautiful it was.
Forever glad to have watched this show.

Like drinking a warm cup of tea
This drama is as comforting as warm cup of tea while stargazing. I felt emotionally connected to not just the leads, but the entire colorful cast of characters. Every character had its own story, motivation, and depth, while not congesting the plot.Issei was the real star of the show for me, with his emotional maturity and desire to care for others. The actor did a fantastic job signing with emotion and tone, something a lot of hearing actors lack when signing on camera. The drama didn't shy away from his disability, but also didn't make that his only defining characteristic. I enjoyed the fact that he was still a cocky, jealous, slightly pervy young man, and not just pitiful or meek like many dramas depict characters with disabilities.
I can see myself rewatching this show in the future when I need a little pick me up!

Noite estrelada ☆
"Eu sinto que as estrelas existem no limite da vida e da morte. Como se elas conectassem os dois. Várias das estrelas que vemos agora, não existe mais. Em vez disso, a luz que elas emitiam há milhares de anos, estão chegando à terra, agora."Um drama lindo, com o casal mais fofo que existe. A trama não é muito empolgante, mas pelo romance vale a pena. Amei o fato da Suzu ser uma mulher mais velha e não se importar por gostar de um cara bem mais novo que ela, não fez rodeios, não inventou desculpas, não tinha vergonha. Ela realmente se entregou de coração. Issei é a pessoa mais querida do mundo, ele é radiante, não tem como ser uma pessoa triste perto dele. Ele não finge, ele é feliz, e não há motivos para ter pena dele e Suzu o entende. A coisa mais linda é eles conversando em língua de sinais!

¿Acaso encontré una serie de confort espectacular? Yo diría que sí.
Bueno, viendo esto llegué a la conclusión de que si no puedo tener a Issei, entonces no quiero a nadie. Les juro que se volvió uno de mis personajes favoritos de la vida (dentro de los doramas). Es extremadamente simpático, cariñoso y muy atento, reconoce cuando se equivoca, está siempre dispuesto a ayudar a los demás y en ningún momento deja que su falta de audición lo defina (con esto parece que estoy diciendo que es tan perfecto que cae en lo irreal, pero no sé por qué se me hizo bastante creíble en contexto jaja).Suzu también me encantó como protagonista. Ella en sí es divina, pero obvio que la terminé de amar en relación a Issei, por cómo ella, interesada ya en él, aprende lenguaje de señas, lo apoya en todo, etc.
En fin, hace mucho que no veía una pareja tan hermosa como esta. Cada vez que parece que un conflicto tonto está por venir, los personajes tienen una conversación de un minuto y lo solucionan. Una maravilla. Aparte para mí los actores tienen muy buena química (¿Ya dije que amo a Takumi Kitamura? ¿No? Bueno, empecé a ver la serie por él).
Los personajes secundarios en general también me gustaron mucho, tanto los que rodean a Suzu (los empleados de la clínica en la que trabaja) como los empleados del lugar en el que trabaja Issei (donde está Haru, que es su mejor amigo y una cosita adorable con una muy buena historia).
Creo que lo único que no me convenció es EL conflicto que rodea la serie: un hombre acusa de asesina a la prota por la muerte de su esposa embarazada. En sí el conflicto está interesante, pero se alarga mucho y se soluciona muy rápido. Algunos conflictos secundarios también podrían haberse desarrollado más, pero la pareja me gustó tanto (y el personaje de Dean Fujioka, que es el tercer prota, es tan simpático) que no me importó.
Mi idea no era alargar este post más de lo necesario, pero hay un par de aclaraciones que creo necesario hacer:
1) Esta serie, a pesar de tocar algunos temas sensibles (sobre todo relacionados con la muerte), puede que a primera vista les parezca un drama romántico, pero no, es una comedia romántica con todas las letras. ¿Por qué aclaro esto? Porque no tienen que esperar un reflejo realista de cómo funciona una clínica obstétrica, por ejemplo, ya que todo siempre tiene un tono irreal de comedia japonesa (sobre todo en lo referente a los empleados de la misma). Esto no es algo que a mí me haya molestado, de hecho me reí mucho, pero leí algunos comentarios quejándose de eso.
2) El trabajo de Takumi Kitamura es EXCELENTE. ¿Extrañé su voz? Obvio que sí, pero transmite todo tan bien solo con sus gestos que me saco el sombrero.
3) Agradezco que en ningún momento haya una clara bajada de línea con respecto a los embarazos y a lo que deciden hacer las mujeres en cada caso. Más que nada el mensaje que se termina dando es que los médicos no deben meter sus opiniones personales, solo deben actuar según lo que les dicen (hay un personaje que al principio esto no lo entiende y eso genera algunos conflictos. Pero uno comprende por qué es así, ya que tiene que ver con lo que le tocó vivir).
4) La música es muy linda. En general la serie se ve hermosa y se disfruta de principio a fin en cuanto a la producción.
5) Dean Fujioka no actúa mal, pero tiene que aprender a caer de formas más realistas porque en ese apartado es un desastre jaja.
6) Y lo más importante: ¡NO HAY TRIÁNGULO AMOROSO!
Ahora sí creo que no tengo nada más para decir. A pesar de los detalles flojos que tiene, se las recomiendo un montón. Véanla y mueran de ternura con la pareja principal.

Vào đêm sao kia rơi xuống.
Phim nói về thế giới của người khiếm thính là như thế nào. Nhưng không nói về những tổn thương mà họ phải chịu mà đặt góc nhìn rằng họ nhiều những người bình thường khác chỉ là không nghe được mà thôi.Thực ra mình thấy phim khá ngắn, coi cũng dễ chịu nhưng mà thông điệp thì không nhiều lắm :))). Mình xem rất nhiều bộ phim khác thì bộ này cốt truyện trung bình, ngắn, dễ xem.
