As great as what I expected

Another great drama from WOWOW. Very interesting topic about Japan-US relation but above all that, this drama tells a story about strong women. Love everything about this drama. Nice character development, pacing, cinematography and color grading... I really love all about this drama! Got hooked from the 1st episode.

Just wanted to remind that some scenes could be triggering for those who's sensitive about sexual assault or PTSD- kind of thing so yeah please watch it with caution of that.

What an amazing and bold story!

This wasn't made just for entertainment, it's a fictional story built on real, ongoing issues that many people face every day.

Filmed in the city of Okinawa, home to one of the largest U.S. military bases in Asia, the drama follows Omine Sakura, a Black-Japanese woman who claims she was raped by a U.S. soldier. Komatsu Kie, a magazine writer, travels to Okinawa to interview her. As the story unfolds, so does the complex and painful truth.

This drama addresses much more than rape, sexual assault, and victim-blaming. It also explores PTSD, racism, sexism, prejudice, the tension caused by military presence, and the daily struggles of women living there.

At its heart are strong female protagonists and side characters who confront both internal and external battles, often in silence, but with unwavering strength.

The drama may not be perfect, but it is undeniably bold, important, and necessary.

Ce drama m'a intrigué des les premières rumeurs. Une fois de plus je dois tirer mon chapeau à WOWOW, leurs dramas sont incroyables! Je crois que c'est la première fois que je regarde un drama qui a lieu à okinawa, c'est rafraichissant. Ce première épisode confronte la culture exotique d'okinawa à son histoire et ses relations compliquée avec les États-Unis. On en apprend tellement. Quel plaisir de retrouver ma femme Matsuoka Mayu et son immense talent. La première réplique de Miyamoto Ariana ne m'a pas convaincu mais on sent l'envie de bien faire. C'est son premier rôle il me semble, cette femme est d'une beauté saisissante. Son personnage est plus cohérent que je ne l'aurait imaginé notamment les coiffures qu'elle arbore ou encore la discrimination à laquelle elle est confronté... chapeau à la personne derrière tout ça ! Je binge watch !!
