Halfway through the series, I was a little disappointed that not everything was related to food, because I had misunderstood the main idea: coping with an incurable illness in all aspects of life. Yakuzen was the starting point for Mugimaki to search for a less painful existence. I managed to understand this and began to appreciate it.
The last episode was so good, because you (or we) were expecting a happy ending with Mugimaki finding a job suited to her illness, earning enough money to live permanently in the Danchi, and who knows what would happen with Tsukasa... But nope. Life isn't that simple or kind. Mugimaki is still living in uncertainty, Tsukasa hasn't fully gotten over his past with his mother, but both are fighting for a better future. This bittersweet ending feels very human and real.
You can't find Grace no Rireki on d-addicts using the forum's search button. I don't know why, but sometimes it doesn't work well. Just try searching Grace no Rireki d-addicts on Google!
I'm not disappointed, but I was expecting something quite different. It's as if the illness is just an excuse; we're not involved in the degeneration of her colour vision. I even forgot she was ill. I expected the plot to revolve around her condition, with the colours starting bright and gradually fading to black and white, but instead, it follows the same tropes as other dramas, just with good scenery and acting. I prefer the earlier episodes to the later ones.
you mean the colour grading is very amazing here? like the usual one we see in countryside dramas?
At least the Japanese countryside dramas I've watched tend to focus more on the nature of the background rather than color schemes. I would say True Colors stands out due to its vivid color palette, which functions as a narrative element. I could perhaps compare it to Iribito from WOWOW, though the latter uses colors to underscore a darker tone.
Watched episode two. I really like the composition, tone, and rhythm. It’s even relaxing, and has a sophisticated, elegant feel, much like Grace no Rireki.
Normally I tried to avoid these kind of dramas, cause always is the same with japanese dramas searching the tear before the message or the feeling. But it seems that Lion no Oyatsu is totally the opposite!
