Best JDrama in 2021

Another masterpiece from Sakamoto Yuji. 

Saiai, just like its name, will be your beloved piece that not only stays dearly to your heart but also leaves a speck of a hole there. But strangely, you are willingly to live with that hole, forever.

- Well-written & engaging script
- Solid cast (even the supporting actors done very well)
- Captivating shots, especially every Rio x Daiki shot, it was a heavenly caught
- THE GODLY SCORING
- Matsushita Kouhei x Yoshitaka Yuriko intense but homey chemistry
- MATSUSHITA KOUHEI

This asadora is quite sentimental. How to deal with the scars, heal it, or even living with it. It was so different with the other asadoras that i have finished. It feels so close, warm, and deep.

This series is wonderful and makes you contemplate to many things, especially family and women issues.

I NEED SEASON 4!!

I easily fall for this kind of story. The story is very engaging and intense. I knew it would be a good deal once i found that Morishta Yoshiko is the writer.  I love most of her works, moreover this time is with her darling Ayase Haruka. 

Tbh it's a bit boring in the first half (because of Mochizuki's slow act) but it's getting better in the latter half. And i really loved the interrogation scene on the last episode. 

One thing bugged me. Well Takahashi Issei did a great job to play a role as a woman. But i personally think it is too girly and too soft for Mochizuki. The real Mochizuki is a bit boyish, full of energy, and a bit rough.  I have no problem with Ayase's acting, she did great!!

I never expected the story would turn into that way. The last episode was full of emotions. I'm gonna miss this family a lot. 

I like the way they deal with grief differently. It's such a heartwarming series.

Beautiful series. The villagers in Nijiro Village remind me a lot to Amachan's village. What a beautiful bond they have! And the chill vibe from the soundtrack suits well for this series.

I never expected myself to be so much into this drama.
The script was so-so and the conflict was kind of cliche but what makes this drama such a wholesome is Fumi x Gordon chemistry!! They are so hilarious and really fun to watch!! Their existences are the magnet of this drama!!
Both Hayame and Issei are the pillar support for each other.

We know that Hayame is the biggest influence of Issei's growth but don't forget about Koya-san. I really like how Koya-san being supportive to Issei. And of course Etsuko-san and Yoshitora also XD

Fumi is great as always but Gordon surprised me more!! It's not the first time i saw him but all i can say is Issei was made for Gordon! He really has a rich expression! I'm looking forward to his another future roles!

Conlcusion : I NEED SEASON 2

This is hella funny and i enjoyed a lot!! The ending is bittersweet but kinda realistic tbh. I want to appreciate Iura Arata's acting for his dual role. Damn it's so amazing! His Tomoe was completely match with Aso Kumiko's. 

Such a weird series. But i weirdly got attached to them.

Hands down Matsumoto Marika's crazy performance!! Also that last scene in the room with Kouhei is so painful to watch T_____T
