Nami Uraraka ni, Meoto Biyori (2025)

Narrada en un periodo de tensión en Japón (1936) cuando era la norma, según el Dorama, tener matrimonios concertados. El ML es marino y viaja mucho, la FL es hija de una familia de comerciantes. A ambos los casan, gradualmente se van conociendo, conectando y enamorándose. Me gusto su proceso de conectar, bastante respetuoso para lo que hubiera podido ser, y que hubiera ese efecto sorpresa al saber que ellos ya se habían conocido años atrás, hizo su historia mas entendible.
Los personajes de apoyo estuvieron interesantes.
La historia de las esposas de marinos y todo lo que ellas tienen que pasar por preservar el hogar, ya sea por amor o por obligación wow.
Me encantaron sus monólogos, lo expresivos y transparentes que eran con el otro, dan mucha ternura♡
El cast y ost son un 10/10
El mensaje final muy memorable: "Debido a los indicios de la guerra, es que la felicidad cotidiana resplandecía intensamente. ¿Ustedes aprecian las pequeñas alegrías en su vida cotidiana?"

A very wholesome and soft love story!

The drama followed Natsumi, who suddenly found herself in an arranged marriage with Takimasa Ebata, an officer in the imperial navy. What unfolded after that was a quiet, slow-burn romance that was both heartwarming and realistic considering the time the story was set in.

The drama was set against a very traditional, pre-war backdrop, which gave their interactions a kind of that old-school charm. But what really sold me was how emotionally healthy their relationship became. There was mutual respect, affection and honest communication.
At first, Takimasa came off as emotionally distant and hard to read, a classic reserved man but through small moments and genuine effort, the two started to build a connection that felt so honest and adorable.

The romance was soft, thoughtful and at times adorably awkward. They shared such a natural chemistry, full of sweet moments and the occasional dorky laugh.

Even the inner monologues, which usually signaled "misunderstanding trope incoming" in many J-dramas were used very well here. They actually gave a deeper look into how both leads were feeling rather than dragging the story with forced conflict.

I find it rare to find a drama that felt this sincere, especially when set in such a formal and emotionally reserved era. But somehow, this one managed to balance its historical context with warmth, humor, and just the right amount of romance.

The second couple were very different from the main couple. They were your classic "enemies to lovers" trope but they grew on me. The banter, the realisations...Their love story was as adorable as the leads. I wouldn't mind a spin off for them.

Acting-wise, I think everyone did a solid job. I have watched enough J-dramas by now that their sometimes over-the-top expressions don’t really bother me that much anymore. It just feels like part of the charm.
The costumes and cinematography was pretty and I really liked the narration style here.

Overall, this drama became my go-to comfort watch. I started this for Honda Kyoya, but stayed for everyone and everything. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys love stories with minimal angst.
