To everyone complaining that "there's no romance" and that "it's like they're not even together," I think this is just not the drama for you... They are in an established relationship from the first episode. You can't really make it more explicit than that. They just don't show them being intimate.
And I disagree that their relationship isn't the focus of the drama, because the whole reason why their law office exists is because of their relationship. They mention the hardships of being a gay couple, not being able to marry the one they love... And every step they take is pretty much motivated by their relationship. To me, this is just nice, casual LGBTQ+ representation, which is very much needed with all the crap we usually get... Also just a reminder that the drama is labeled as a "human legal drama" in Japan, and not a BL.
This is the kind of drama I wish everyone could watch! It's the perfect balance of deep and serious topics sprinkled with some comedy. And I love that it centers on three different generations and types of families. + The discussion between the women in ep 3 was sooo important, especially when they talked about the role of women in society and NaoShiho (love that Satoko called them by a ship name haha)'s coming out stories...
The first episode was really good!!! I love the Osaka vibes, the cinematography... And the acting from everyone was great too. I always love a good woman-centric drama, so I can't wait to see how it all unfolds!!
As always, the drama I had the least expectations for became one of my favorites of the season! This was so chaotic, and every single family member was absolutely insufferable, but I still enjoyed every second. The dialogues in particular were so clever and flowed so well without ever being overpowered by unnecessary background music. I really loved it!!
The first two episodes have been really good, wow!! I hope they keep this up. I really like Kimura Fumino's character here. It's also super interesting to see the way Kaoru acts when he's at the host club and how different he is when he's with Manami on the rooftop. I really love those scenes, they feel so intimate even though she's just teaching him how to write.
This was such a nice movie!! All the characters are so lovable, old and new. I didn't expect Moe to make me the most emotional, but one of her scenes got me teary eyed in the theater. (': I'm still kinda hoping for a season 2 because I'm too attached to the whole cast, but if there isn't one, this movie is a really nice way to conclude the story. I was smiling so hard during the ending scene.
