Literally watched this last night and your review is spot on! I'm not very up on Japanese films or dramas at all, but was thinking how genuinely atmospheric it was whilst watching. The editing was well-paced and constantly pushed the story forward. I didn't find the politics and Japan's recent history off-putting either, if anything that whole background helped show why they were making their decisions. As you say, the music really added so much to the watch. I'll come back to Shin Godzilla again.
Just started this one tonight and was loving it by half of the first episode. From what I’ve seen so far, your review is spot on and picks out loads of the reasons this is a quality drama. Thanks!
Loved this article Bom Choi, I've watched and loved a good few of those but I'm gonna try and track down Shut Up: Flower Boy Band! Sadly we don't always get access in the UK.
