Kazoku Dakara Aishitan Janakute, Aishita no ga Kazoku Datta (2023)

The Delightful Journey of the Kishida Family!

At the center of this drama are the members of the Kishida family, which includes the mother (Hitomi), the father (Kosuke), the grandmother (Yoshiko), the younger brother (Sota) and our protagonist and the daughter, Nanami.
In my opinion, Nanami was initially a very chaotic character. A teen with emotional baggage, yet having a cheerful personality that is very unique to her. Life has not been easy on her and when things go awry constantly, we see our protagonist grow.
However, she doesn't grow alone...because the Kishida family doesn't work like that.
The entire family grows together. Sometimes helping each other and sometimes through the support of the supporting characters. They expand their horizons, overcome challenges and you will not be able to stop rooting for them.
As a family, their love for each other was genuinely beautiful. They are each other's best source of support and add the supporting characters to the mix, you get one of the most heartwarming line-up of people, who I believe, we all eventually find. Be it the mother's love for her family or the way the father still watches over them. You will find yourself with moist eyes at the end of mostly all episodes along with a cozy warm feeling seeping into your heart.

The acting of the entire cast was nothing short of perfection. The emotions of the characters come through very clearly and engage you so much that you will find yourself crying, laughing and smiling almost unconsciously, making you heavily emotionally invested in the drama.

A must watch for sure! You may not love it as much as I did, but I don't believe you will regret watching it either.

The Warmth of The Family

Papa, Mama, this is your child, with all our shortcomings and mistakes, thank you for raising us and loving us as much as you can.

The story itself is somewhat unusual. Because one of your children was diagnosed with Down syndrome, because your father suddenly died out of nowhere while you were arguing last night, and because you have a mother who has not been able to walk her whole life.

It's hard, life is so hard. But through these difficulties you can feel the warmth of your family, their love, affection and sincerity.

We will overcome this difficulty with patience and compassion, so that we can survive whatever happens.

Our family is the only treasure we have even though the cruelty of the world haunts us throughout our lives.

So appreciate them, and love them, because they are the only people who know us better inside and out. And be grateful for everything that happens in the world, because everything has value, even the smallest things in the world.
