Life is limited

Life is limited. It was a drama that reminded me of how I should spend my time with my family and what I want to be.
A drama that restores family ties with a few lives. Ryunosuke Kamiki, who played the role of the son, was charming and relaxed, but Kiichi Nakai and Ken Ogata were wonderful. The direction and music were also very beautiful and it was a drama that kept me impressed. It's full of kindness, and I feel that my heart was washed after watching it.

After seeing all of "Wind Garden", I went on a trip to Furano in July 2018.

The wind garden is real and I was impressed with the indescribable atmosphere!

Those who go to Furano in Hokkaido, those who love flowers, are really impressed!

This story is a 2008 work, but it is a wonderful work that has touched the essence of human beings and has not faded even after many years.
Creating a garden that blends in with the nature of Hokkaido, which seems to be in harmony with it, is beautiful, ephemeral and memorable, just like the drama

Kuramoto Sou, his style and visions.

This beautiful drama was a masterpiece and a wonderful final project for the late Ogata Ken, who was one of the finest actors the world has ever seen. This drama showed true human emotion and the struggle every person has with both life and death. It was graceful, calm, yet heart-breaking. Every moment was tinged with emotion and the characters were so well-played. My favorite scene was the final encounter between Gaku and his father, or rather the Archangel Gabriel, his one true friend. It was a stunning and tragic scene very well-played by the actors and I cried. I knew from the beginning how this series would end, but a part of me still hoped for a miracle.
I love Kuramoto Sou, his style and visions. I like what he has to say about life. His morals are shown heavily in this drama.

a truly exceptional drama

"Kaze no Garden" is a touching and poignant drama that showcases exceptional acting and a moving story. The drama follows Shiratori Sadami, a successful anesthesiologist who is diagnosed with late-stage cancer and decides to return to his hometown in Hokkaido to reconcile with his estranged children.

The performances in "Kaze no Garden" are truly outstanding, with each actor bringing a depth and nuance to their role that makes the story feel all the more real and heart-wrenching. In particular, Ogata Ken delivers a powerful and emotional performance as Shiratori Sadami, bringing to life the character's pain, regret, and longing with remarkable authenticity.

The story itself is expertly crafted, exploring themes of family, forgiveness, and redemption in a way that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. The drama is full of poignant moments that tug at the heartstrings, yet it never feels melodramatic or contrived.

What sets "Kaze no Garden" apart from other dramas is its willingness to explore difficult and complex emotions in a nuanced and sensitive way. The drama does not shy away from the painful realities of life, yet it ultimately offers a message of hope and healing that is both powerful and uplifting.

Overall, "Kaze no Garden" is a truly exceptional drama that showcases exceptional acting and a moving story. If you're looking for a drama that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on the importance of family and forgiveness, this one is definitely worth watching.
