excellent review super enjoyable to read. I haven’t watched the drama but the way you described it gives me a good idea of what this drama is all about!
This SP follows the same formula as the drams even though it had opportunity to do more and better but chose to fall back to tropes and even regressed in places that had minimally developed in the drama.
I agree with you about the hospital staff that could’ve been given more effective role in the drama, especially the context of it.
As for the background of the young doctor I think we’ve been given just enough to tell us his mental state is as much in pain as someone suffering physically. The same with the patient we’re only given bits and pieces because the point was accepting the present and looking forward to the future.
Overall the movie, despite its amazing cast, doesn’t really offer anything new though so I understand your rating
I doubt it, but non religious people don't have a duty to respect man-made religion...
Not sure what this comment is implying or if it was for me or someone else, but I want to clarify one thing, my comment wasn’t singling out any religion, it was general.
I personally find it easy to respect all religions, and find having any type of belief beautiful. That being said, some people aren’t capable of seeing such beauty. In that case, I can’t impose on them to respect it in the way they think about it, but I think we can expect them to at least respect the feelings of the people that believe and not hurt their feelings by disregarding their beliefs. I hope this is clear for anyone reading this comment.
the cross on the poster, another low-key anti christian agenta mayhaps🫡 beacause they love disrespecting. #tired
Could be since it’s disney, but generally SK has a lot of Christians and they tend to be religious so I imagine generally the media wouldn’t want to and has no reason to offend them but I don’t know for sure.
The premise is nothing new but entertaining. However, the last case that was what drove our main characters was weak and all over the place. The evidence they were following up on suddenly became irrelevant and everything they went after was circumstantial. I couldn’t take the trial seriously.
That being said, I find that following line to be true: “There are no gardians of the law, just watchdogs for people with power”
Why would Narukawa worry that his wrong charge of Rikiro would taint his daughter’s career? No one knows she’s…
I find all motivations for criminals to be weak in this drama and makes no sense. Even our main victim, why didn’t he reveal he moved the baby? Why wait 2 decades? I just think the writers cared more about making a twist than actually building the story
The characters make the drama enjoyable but the story makes no sense. The motives are too weak for such crimes and the drama’s desperation in trying to humanize those actions disgusted me. I guess I have no empathy for self pitying people.
It’s perfect in its flawed characters, hilarious in their pettiness, but mostly original in its ordinary extraordinariness. The revelations in the last episode just heightened the drama a couple of notches more.
I liked the concept, the acting of the leads, the little community they have. The psychologist is mostly used as a device to get the story going rather than have any effective influence in both leads’ lives, which is probably closer to how reality works.
I like that the trio ajumas, though they can be intrusive and judgmental, are also self reflective and show growth.
What I’m mostly not a fan of is how the last episode went, especially the last 10 minutes, the drama was all needless. Overall enjoyable :)
Hmm… it’s sweet and all but nothing special and a lot of the events feel forced. Romance is unconvincing especially that of the main lead, he barely had any chemistry with his “love interest”.
I have to say the kid playing Akira, while can be plain in expressing himself in some scenes, really nailed the emotional ones it’s actually sad.
at first I thought it’s frustrating that all Japanese dramas I watch they all have men affairs and it’s normalised,…
I get especially when someone a child gets in the picture and they would want to be part of their life. I agree with you reality gets complicated and people shouldn’t be judged by the one flaw, but at the same time when it comes to affairs I do see myself ever be able to trust someone to be in my circle if I knew they were part of an affair. I wouldn’t empathize with them when I know they caused someone pain like that.
Anyways thanks for sharing, our experiences shape our way of thinking which makes it interesting to discuss those topics

But she saw how painful it was for her mom, how could she do the same? I find her despicable. I hate the excuse “it’s reality””it’s human”. Showing affairs is one thing, normalizing them that’s different. There is no excuses for wrong behaviour. The most human thing is the destructive pain of being cheated on!
Such a fun watch. I get the frustration people feel especially about Akira’s character but this was her flaw that she needed to address. It’s just not easy or possible to immediately change, it takes steps, baby steps.
I find most of the characters realistic. Akira rather takes on everything than bother others and delegate, her boyfriend Kyoya is a good man, but his main flaw is that he’s a coward. Shuri is an entitled leach yes, but she’s also someone very broken and is in need of some tough love to move forward. Kosei… he’s really toxic and would rather be seen as the bad guy than be vulnerable.
I did find issue with Kureha’s character. She was the only character I didn’t find realistic. It wasn’t lifestyle but the fact she doesn’t have consideration for others. My problem here is that it’s never seen as a problem in the drama. I like the built up anticipation of who her husband is throughout the drama though.
My favourite character is Kyoya’s mom. She’s a sweetheart and heals all around her. I find it was her presence in Akira’s life that gave Akira the courage to change.
Overall this drama is all about the conversations and being honest to oneself. It was fun and refreshing to watch.

Overall cute watch but nothing memorable.
I never got the point of “3 peace” though.
