is it bad if I like this more than Silent? personally, I felt that that drama didn't really engage me that much. this drama though, I'm getting hit with all the feels and so emotionally affected. it's gonna be hard waiting for the rest of the episodes, even tho the story is so heavy.
Saionji-san wa Kaji wo Shinai… what an amazing first episode, I loved this. Came for a cute romcom about a woman who doesn’t do housework, stayed for the emotional story about gender roles, grief, single parenthood and the human condition. Especially hyped about the found family already coalescing…
Also, if I had a nickel for every time a woman this season suddenly got promoted to StepMom™️…
God, this drama is so good, I love it so far. If it keeps up this quality for the rest of episodes, might be one of my favs for the year.
Umi is the cutest, I feel so bad for her. She's an innocent victim trapped in the middle of her mom's selfish decision. Natsu looks so traumatized and confused all the time, but I respect that he kinda wants to be the dad who steps up?
Her mom switched between being hostile and sympathetic to Natsu every 2 scenes. Ma'am, it's not his fault he didn't know he had a kid and he's so unprepared to be a dad, as you noted yourself. But still, it must be hard to face the man when your daughter suffered on her own for so long.
The scene of Yayoi crying was devastating. At first, I thought it was cause she got promoted to stepmom all of sudden after her bf's ex died. Or because it's obvious Natsu isn't over his college ex. But after the reveal about Yayoi's own abortion... Jesus, she was crying bc when Natsu said he murdered his kid... It was like saying that Yayoi murdered her child.
I think it's sort of wholesome that Yayoi wants to be Umi's mom and decided to support Natsu's decision? I'm honestly more interested in her relationship and feelings about Umi tbh
What is this Tsuno character even tryna do? Why is he inserting himself into a love triangle with a dead woman and her baby daddy? Who is he to say that Umi has no dad? I also like when Grandma pushed back at Tsuno acting like she's his MIL or something.
The way Umi ran and hugged him.. started telling him about her day... Bro got promoted to dad 🥲 oh gawd, the feels...
@ the previews: I understand Mizuki's mom's feelings but how can she say that?? Actually forget her, HOW DARE TSUNO SAY THAT?? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?? 🤬🤬

sites like dramacool or myasiantv or whatever just steal the hard work of fansubbers.
