not sure if you were able to watch this, but it’s on YouTube in parts : https://youtu.be/JupCp-hZd0s?si=1Z7lCyEXD3CROfVM

Watched this for Sho and he was great in it. The story was good, but I think this as a drama didn't work very well though. I think if it was a special it would've been better paced, and thus I would've rated it higher. The eps are pretty short and little happens in each ep .. so that's why I say this. Will say ep 17 was a bit of a tearjerker, it was the only ep to get a tear out me💀 Do I rec to watch? Maybe if you are on a binge of Sho's dramas, I'd say go for it. But if you're just coming across it, it's nothing special. This is a dated drama in a way, so keep that in mind if watching.

I haven’t yet, but I know it also is about cerebral palsy. It’s in my watchlist but def have to watch soon. ☺️

No 😞still holding on to hope that one day it’ll show up 🥲

So I'll start by saying I loved this special, and it's message to be determined! In my current semester, I'm working with clients with cerebral palsy (although nonverbal in my case). I just felt what a better time to watch it than now. I have to give props to Nino for playing Hideo so well, not making it feel like a mockery. Definitely something to watch whenever I need encouragement. Life is short, and you should put your best forward doing the things you want to do.

Wow... that's how I can summarize this. It is an emotionally heavy special. I never knew about the Kobe earthquake before this, but seeing all the damage done and lives taken really made my jaw drop. I liked how this special was filmed in a sort of documentary/biopic style, and how they showed some of the real images. But I will say, that one image with the boy holding the bones of his mother is really heart wretching. I would definitely recommend to watch this, especially to know what happened, and for Sho's acting !

You’re welcome! ☺️ Live journal most likely is your best bet when finding older Japanese movies that are hard to find, although many of the links are dead now 😭

Hi! After a lot of hunting around 😭 I was able to find a link that wasn't dead on a live journal page!! Here's the link (make sure to join their community so you see it & use the mediafile links since the other one is no longer available):

I think you should! it’s lowkey a weird fun drama. it’s about a guy that is trying to stop his childhood crush from getting married, but before he can really do that he gets sucked into a manhole and can then time travel. That’s all I’ll say to describe it :) I watched this drama about a year ago. I really enjoyed the characters. There were moments where the writing could’ve been better, but overall it was a good watch. I love jaejoong so if you do too then that’s more of a reason to pick it up!
