The casting director needs to be acknowledged. All the actors are amazing from the children to the elderly . Special appreciation on the way they cast the criminals, it’s on point, they all have punchable faces.
Oh! I remember you from an exchange under a drama, we seemed to agree so I’ll trust your comment here and watch.…
My friend, I’m here to report 🫡. Since we last chatted, I went on a mission to find another Japanese drama similar to this one we liked…. I have suffered, you hear me? SUFFERED! I binged watched some of the recommendations under this drama and some under the dramas that were recommended and none came close to being as good as the one we liked. I sat there through the cringe, I’ve suffered enough for the both of us. I’m back to feeling awkward about Jdramas. The only time you might see me again watching a Japanese production is if there’s a season 2 of the one we liked. That is all, carry on 😅.
The problem here is the fl (how they wrote her) or was it the actress’ lack of acting skills? It’s probably both. She pissed me off from start to finish. The drama is not something I will revisit nor recommend to anyone else. It was not horrible but at the same time not worth your time.
I took a few days off from watching to come back and find our little FaFa calling him “daddy” and showing him off at the orphanage…. 😭😭🤧😮💨. I’m going to lie down a bit to gather myself after this.

I will still go and read as you mentioned, I agree that it felt like I should have known a bit more but I pushed that aside lol.
Right?! What is it with Japanese dramas that makes us have a hard time? At first I thought it was the way the language sounded to me but I didn’t have that issue with this drama… it’s odd.
I’ll be on the lookout for a second season and if you know of any Japanese ones that are similar to this type of story, please share. Thank you!

Idk about you all but I know for sure that I’ll be more alert and aware when walking in the streets. I’m thinking that I’ve unknowingly walked by a trafficked child but I was not paying attention. Maybe by paying attention I can notice a child who seems uneasy around their adult figure? Trafficking, neglect or any types of abuse can be noticed a little? Idk, I want to help but feel so useless.
I went to watch the first ep and I will drop as it was not engaging. I found myself dozing off on the first ep.

Edit: just finished it and I LOVED it 🥹.
“ In 2022, there were 359,094 reports of missing children entered into the FBI.”
“ The Safe House Project states that an estimated 300,000 American children are victims of commercial sexual exploitation each year.”
Surely at some point someone ran into a child unknowingly. These numbers are horrific.
