What a riveting series! This just goes to show how huge the role of parenting is in the development of a child's personality. Loved how each episode contrasted different character perspectives to provide a complete picture to the audience.
But among the stories, Ep 3 captivated me the most
Episode 2... one of the most strangest episode I have seen so far, with a very obtuse ending. Who was the old…
I also found the storyline messed up. I'm guessing that the old man was hired by Yoshimi (model) to kill the FL who has been using her identity ever since her mother joked about them swapping places. I also get the feeling that somehow, the mother controls the FL
The first part of the series which potrays Eun Hee's and Han Soo's story was a fantastic potrayal of what time…
I also love how Han Soo was motivated to keep fighting for her daughter's dream of becoming a professional golf player at the expense of losing everything since he did not want her to experience what he went through before of not being able to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional basketball player because of poverty
Can you recomend some Japanese slice of life dramas??
Here are my recommended Japanese slice-of-life dramas: -Nagi no Oitoma -Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru -Koisenu Futari -Kotaki Kyodai to Shikuhakku -Neechan no Koibito -Omameda Towako to Sannin no Motootto -Konto ga Hajimaru -Tsuma, Shogakusei ni Naru
Glad to chance upon this gem which exposed the rawness of each character unapologetically. They were portrayed realistically without hiding their flaws, while examining the deepest desires of their hearts. This made this omnibus drama relatable, making a special connection to its audience.
South Korean dramas perfected the recipe for romantic comedies, but I think they excel more with slice-of-life dramas like Reply 1988, Navillera, and Move to Heaven
IMO, Japan is still champion of slice-of-life dramas since they’re not afraid to tackle socio-relevant issues thereby creating something extraordinary. However, South Korea is a strong contender; hope they will produce more slice-of-life dramas
Such a feel-good movie on friendship and living in the moment.
P.S. Although the film could do away with the dance interlude at the beginning, I loved its addition at the end with their past and future selves having a musical feast similar to what was done in Mamma Mia 2 :)
Maida Nono stole the spotlight in Tsuma, Shogakusei ni Naru. From the middle-aged Takae to the 10-year old Marika, her portrayal was brilliant — definitely someone to watch out for
I love the leads, but to be honest, I was very disappointed with the reunion movie of Mario and Baifern :(
It would have been better if the twist was that Dob was not able to take over Bob’s body, and they revealed that it was Bob all along at the end, since it was shown that Bob’s rude actions were due to the guru’s influence
But among the stories, Ep 3 captivated me the most
My favorites were episodes 1, 3, 4, 8, 14, and 15.
-Nagi no Oitoma
-Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru
-Koisenu Futari
-Kotaki Kyodai to Shikuhakku
-Neechan no Koibito
-Omameda Towako to Sannin no Motootto
-Konto ga Hajimaru
-Tsuma, Shogakusei ni Naru
Have fun watching!

However, I was a bit flustered with the ending. Hope Marika's mother will not hurt her
