Thumbs up
I am not familiar with the original TV series on which this dramatization is based. But this series is a brilliant effort to portray life's different situations. The stories are bold, absorbing, and well told. A few of them are downright touching. Ryusei Ryo has a relatively lighter role this time, as the focus is, and should be, on the characters in the stories. The acting is fine on the whole, and Gouriki Ayame's performance elicits so much sympathy that one would want to give her a big hug at the end. A better make-up job to reduce or hide her facial glow or radiance could make Nonami Maho's character more believable as a dying patient. This is the kind of short programs that tend to be overlooked. But you would miss a gem if you did overlook it.Was this review helpful to you?
