ngl I teared up when Kurokawa introduced the trio to his mom as his friends. In the end, friendship is what saved him from making the same mistakes the chairman committed in his life and I'm glad they stuck the landing with that theme in mind.
Episode 6 made me cry so much. The scene of Shirakawa crying over her meal in the bathroom. Her thanking her younger self. The girls' friendship! (Thank you Tsundere Umemeoto for stepping up to the plate.) I seriously love this show.
I love how this highlights the social awkwardness brought about by traditional workplace culture, and does it by showcasing the ridiculous ways we get stuck in our own heads trying to navigate such situations. Just goes to show we're all human, even characters higher up the ladder like Chief Ishizawa and Chief Ebisu struggle with it in the funniest ways lol.
is this series all serious? like are there stories that are just fluffy and cute and not so deep?? big fan of…
Yes, not all stories are heavy. Episode 2 and 8 deal with some darker subject matter, but the other ones just range from super fluffy to serious coming-of-age romance stories.
Shows that persist on the philosophy that "good food can solve any problem" are lifeblood to me tbh. I save episodes for my mid-week lunch time and I always get enough energy to finish the rest of the week.
Episode 6 is hilarious. It almost felt like improv. You would think the fourth wall breaks would grow tiresome but they manage the right balance between the extreme (like in this episode) and keeping it to the occasional offbeat jokes.
Lovely special. I only wish it was 2 episodes since they tried to cover a lot of ground in an hour. Certain things that were picked up I would have loved to have seen them expand upon, like Grandma's confession. For what it was though, I enjoyed it.
A surprisingly fun 2 hours! It's bolstered by some creative uses of the format. From my understanding, this is part of a project with similar series from other countries in the works (Connected/Homebound Detectives Club), so I'll be keeping an eye out for those whenever they happen.
I love that the finale doesn't offer any answers, because frankly, there are no concrete ones. Feelings are complicated, and everyone's got different ones—and all of them are valid. Again, something I said when we were still early on, but this show is so considerate of these characters.
In the end, the show was about love, in all its forms. Everyone's journey was intrinsically tied to it. Love is powerful, and it changed all of them.
I've noticed she's been prolific this year. I haven't gotten to watching her 2 dramas yet but I'm looking forward to it!
And then one about Meitantei Stay Homes specifically, and also announcing that the UK version is in development: https://tbivision.com/2022/02/22/nippon-envision-get-connected-in-first-scripted-co-production/
