And Sakamato Yuji did it again. A charming, relatable & quirky drama filled with interesting characters, rich interactions & their delightful stories; this was a fulfilling watch in every way. I'm gonna miss the banter between all the characters so so much. In the months of watching this, I grew so attached to all of them. They truly felt like home. Highly recommended for all!
When Hanako lost her son, it reminded me of how I experienced the same thing a few months ago, it was very hard…
Thank you for your recommendations! Okaeri Mone has been on PTW list for sometime. I wanted to binge it after it ended. Guess I'm gonna watch that next.
I'm on E7, and they're cute. I like the chemistry, and the way they're taking things slow but it's a little too perfect & neat? She's too composed, and he's too sweet. And the biggest issue - they just don't feel like a real couple. Heck we've not even seen them have a proper conversation about their lives, their experiences or anything real.. everything just comes across as superficial. I hope we'll get to see more as the show progresses otherwise it's such a waste of their chemistry / potential.
Set against the backdrop of WW2, this was a bittersweet and inspiring story about family bonding, love, community support and overcoming loss and grief, with one of the most beautiful love stories I've seen in a while. Beautifully scored, picturised and acted, this is a must watch for all! A 10/10 drama in every aspect.
Let me start off by saying this - this is not a drama for everybody. In a show of this sort of genre, you'd expect huge revelations and growth, but this wasn't like that. I'd say it was more realistic (than dramatic). It had a slow-paced and slightly relaxing vibe. The characters weren't out rightly positive or negative. They were real. I feel like this drama will resonate much more strongly with an older audience as the characters were of an older age group, and the show spoke of a certain nostalgia and emphasized an importance of knowing and appreciating our history (bombing of Nagasaki being a huge backdrop). Special mention for the last episode - it made me emotional.
All in all, I liked this. It is a decent drama that I'd recommend to an audience that likes to watch something slow-paced, unique and filled with nostalgia (historical/cultural elements included.)
I ate mozzarella cheese sticks today & instantly thought of Karibe haha MOZZARELLA CHEEESE LMAOOO <3 Need to re-watch this. It was my happy pill back when it aired.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for peace, and strength for you. Please feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to :)
Couldn't agree more on the drama. It's not the most perfect drama, but it just made me feel so many emotions. I loved all the characters & their stories.
THANK YOU for this article! I really appreciate all the time & effort you took to compile these. I'm looking forward to so many of these dramas, I really hope they'll all be subbed :)
