I'll watch anything and I don't see it as romanticizing as long as they are work or fiction. Hollywood for example is accused to romanticize war but I still enjoy it if the movie is good. I also live in a country where movies/dramas seems to promote adultery and teenage pregnancy but I don't mind as long as it is tastefully handled. Some serial killer in movies are portrayed as flashy too. Age gap, even if minor is involved I won't say it's trash until I see it. My point is these are just movies, form of entertainment, and even disney movies have controversies like racism for example lol. Now for the question would I date younger person? as long as she is matured, but I won't date underage girl lol. Real life is different than movies.
Technically he is not an idol, but in some sense just because he started as a tokusatsu where she gained many female fans, he is also considered as one.
Nothing can be more annoying when person A loves person B, Person C loves person B, at the middle of the drama person B loves C, finally B and C are now together, but near the ending person B realized he/she really loves is person A.
A very slice of life movie that you would get a feeling they edited out the important events in the story, it goes against pretty much everything normally recognized as fundamental aspects of engaging storytelling. The development of the story is just weird that you would end up guessing as to what happen between each scenes. It is by intention though, the movie just wants to show the mundane things but very important to the development of a character, which most mainstream movies ignore. It won't entertain you, no conventional dramatic scenes, no goal driven by conflict, seems there is no plot, instead it will trigger your ability to observe and be captivated by each characters.
Technical-wise, the movie is fine. Subtle acting which works better for this type of genre, literally no music on every scene, you'll only hear background noises. Cinematography would show you the beauty of kyoto, old houses, castles, beautiful shrines, Japanese festivals.
One of the directors in this drama is Hanna Matsumoto. She played Saki in the drama suzuki sensei, another controversial drama that gets a lot of hate from close minded fools who judge a drama on synopsis alone. Hanna Matusumoto is a young up and coming director. She just turned 21.
EDIT: Episode 4 RAW is up on this site! Link: https://dorama.site/hajimete-koi-o-shita-hi-ni-yomu-hanashi/I see…
It's lighter and more dorama-ish than chugakusei, eventhough it has teacher x student plot, it's less controversial. I will wait until it's done and all episodes are subbed.
How about Rena Takeda, Yuri Tsunematsu and Kyoka Shibata they are less known compared to those in this list but I also find them as talented and got the charmisma.
