Reviews
Everyone would take something else from it, may it writing advice, family and marriage topic or just entertainment by funny scenes. Toma once again proved he can totally nail a comedy role. Seeing him at least a bit with Masaki Okada made me feel nostalgic about Hana Kimi. Anyway, I really enjoyed the witty remarks and dramatic scenes of Toma's character. Another aspect I liked about this drama was to see how differently the main pair think about their work. Also taking a peek in the background of the production of dramas (even though it was not that realistic) was nice to see. However, it is a pity that the drama was too short and the characters could be developed more.
PS: Rewatch Value is low because I am not the type of person who rewatches films/dramas. Also, there was not that much music I could rate. Anyway, I tend to rate things quite strictly, so some people might give a better rating.
Good Enough
Japanese Drama "Can't Write" is a light, short but fun drama. It has a feel-good mood through and through, though there were some bittersweet moments.The story is pretty simple, though some drama is added here and there, without overcomplicating things though. However, that also meant that the drama didn't go too deep into relationships, personalities and their problems. It was also great that they managed to bring the story on a full circle and give it a beginning and a proper ending.
The performances, in addition, were all enjoyable by everyone. Kudos to the little boy as well!!
So, overall, 7 out of 10.
