They never did explain what Rin's relationhip to Shusaku was. She did say he was her "customer" but he doesn't seem like that type of person so I would have liked to see some closure on that before poor Rin died.
Binged watched this entire drama in three days. One of the best Japanese dramas I've seen, and comparable to Battle of Changsha in quality. Literally nothing major happened in the first few episodes but family-level angst but it still so engaging but then last four episodes came and the drama became even better. Me and my entire family were lowkey tearing up. Melancholy but also beautiful and filled with comedic, wholesome moments. Suzu and Shusaku are one of the best couples in drama history tbh. Do not miss this drama, it's a 10/10 from me.
I don't understand what is this "Light on Series"? Wisher, The Long Night...
Basically, they're all relatively short (around 12 episodes) series produced by iQiyi that revolve around crime or mystery, with most having suspense or thriller aspects. So far, both Light On series have high quality and very gritty, dark themes that you don't usually see in most cdramas.
The drama wasn't bad. The constant push and pull was a bit draggy buuut Hiramasa and Mikuri are both very human characters with a lot of emotional baggage so it was satisfying to see their relationship grow. Even if felt like every step forward was met with two steps back.
The comedic aspect was really well-done. I loved Mikuri's crazy but elaborate and adorable daydreams and Hiramasa's neurotic, realistic Sheldon Cooper-like quirks. Both Yui Aragaki and Gen Hoshino did a great job. I watched this drama after MIU404 mostly bc Gen was in it but I was impressed by Yui (this was my first drama of hers). Both of them embodied their characters really well and honestly made them way cuter than I'd probably find Mikuri and Hiramasa in real life.
All the side characters were well acted and had some depth to them. Their own romantic stories were engaging on their own right. I really liked how the drama raised the issue of the expectations surrounding "women's work" and the invisible, unpaid labour of housewives, which is very relevant in Asian countries. 8.5/10 from me.
