I was a little hesitant at first to watch this, but I really enjoyed this drama. I was thinking that a 50 year old who gets pregnant was an odd plot line, but man-oh-man were there some extra plot lines thrown into the story. I would say the drama is pretty believable, the cast was amazing, and it definitely taught me a thing or two about how Japan views later-in-life pregnancies and all the complications that stem from it.

Watched this drama because I am a Tanaka Misako fan. And she was her usual lovely and bubbly self in this family drama about a family in which the mother, a recent widow, realizes that she is pregnant despite being 50 years old.

Overall, the drama was interesting and informative, especially regarding pregnancies that occur when the women is 40+. I did feel that the drama came off as a bit pro-choice at first, which makes sense in a country like Japan, with such a slow and low birth rate.

Some shoddy acting here and there made me slightly annoyed but it was all forgiven once the super adorable baby was born.

A good drama. Not the best but it addresses a socially relevant issue: older age mothers in society and the issues that come along with them.

The actors, directors and the screen writer did a flawless job, hard to fault. Satisfied with the ending.
Not the best editing imo, but I didn't mind.

I don't know if I'm biased. One one "hand mother and child" topic is dear to my taste, one the other - it makes me even more demanding about the drama.

Special thanks to the crew for proper research on the subject. Such an oddity for the people involved in the creation of a drama to actually do their homework. Very educational. Accurate representation of the people's reactions, very realistic not black-and- white characters but rather individuals - a breath of fresh air.

I appreciated that the drama covered several controversial issues. The doctor is a character I look up to. Even if he clearly disagrees on an issue, he fully respects the mother's choice whatever it may be. People have no right to judge a woman's decision concerning pregnancy and birth. We need more people with such a viewpoint in our society.

Low rewatch value since I had a strong emotional responce while watching it and will remember it quite clearly, so no point in rewatching. Many feels.

If you can't stand lack of comedy in drama, you may find this show boring, in such case I advise you skip this drama.
