Ramune Monkey (2026)

The only downside for me in this drama is that it can’t go one forever!

This drama is nothing extraordinary just a weekly dose of happiness. It showcases very realistic down to earth characters. It’s very nostalgic. While it does compare the generations, it’s not to judge them. After all, each generation has their own difficulties and try their best to live their time.

I might be overthinking it but this drama brought to mind the biblical story of Joseph and his brothers. His brother did not intend to become evil. They just thought that they would do this evil act and get rid of the thing that, in their minds, was in the way of their prosperity and then become good people afterwards. But of course, that is not how evil works. One evil act drags another, and another, until it becomes part of who you are unless you face your actions. That is exactly what happened here not one person, but to a whole town with their weakest holding out.

Another point I felt this drama makes directly it’s how we overestimate evil and this makes us complacent into it. We think that evil can control everything and that we aren’t capable of changing anything. We fear what we might personally lose. But once we let go we realize what can be gained for us personally, to our loved ones and to our community as a whole if we act and try to stop evil.

The style might not be for everyone, but I would highly recommend for everyone to give it a chance. I rarely give a 10 rating, but I seriously cannot find any side to the drama where I would change.
