Get the writer a writing class

I decided to watch this drama because I saw some funny snippets one day. I like Mahiro so I said why not. The first episodes were amazing and all but then everything went to hell.

Story:
I don't know what to categorize this drama as, it's true that the setting is a hospital and there's some reality to it but why were there so many unbelievable scenes? I thought I was being pranked some times. I applaud the actors for acting some of the scenes sincerely because that did not make any sense in all universes.

I just have one word: what the hell was THAT mystery? it had so much potential.

Apart from the disaster in writing events, the character development of all the characters was great except for Mio, she fell flat and short to the growing of the others, in fact she was worse off at the end. The writer intended her to be a nurse aid but erased all her previous qualities and previous life by the end of the drama only to recallit when it's convenient.

Music:
Music was fine, although overbearing at moments or random at others.

Acting:
The acting was superb, mondai nai desu!

Overall:
I hope there's a redeeming second season, the start was great so it is a sad that they ruined it by the end.

Intriguing… I found myself questioning my morals.

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a Japanese movie or a drama, everything seemed pointless lately until I saw Prior Convictions on my laptop, turns out my sister downloaded it and watched it and forgot to delete it.

I came into it with no prior information, nor expectations other than the will to delete it if it didn’t match my mood today. And holy crap!

The movie is so good, I couldn’t bat my eyes in case I missed a scene although it was slow. The atmosphere is something that I have been missing for a long time. Arimura Kasumi’s character was unfairly intriguing and amazing. I was moved by her diligence. I wanted to know more, the struggles kept me on edge. I felt like I was back again to ten years prior when I enjoyed watching Japanese media.

The city’s panoramas were the highlight for me, I don’t know why but the small town smell was so strong and it felt like I was there too, Morita’s acting was great too. In fact, everyone did their part very well.

At the end it left me wondering: Agawa was working hard to rehabilitate Kudo and I was there for it. but then, I wondered if Touyama deserved his second chance and I caught my bias.
It was really eye opening.
