A masterpiece
I honestly have no idea how should I express my feelings about this drama. In one word ; it's a 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗜𝗘𝗖𝗘. So like basically, the drama talks about social problems, specially social problems faced by Japanese people or asain married people so I think you need to have a little understanding about Japan's culture or atleast Asia's culture to understand this drama.
Anyways, as an Asian myself, I related with this drama 100% . I'm not a mom myself but I've heard my own mom talk about stuff like that with her neighbours and it's a normal thing but the problem is IT SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL.
The problem with asia is that we have ALWAYS told everyone that a mother is a goddess. She's always right , she can't be wrong. She's a superwoman, she can't make mistakes. She's just Perfect. Some people even say that a mother is a total different type of species. So we grow up believing that. But the truth is all of the things said above is NONSENSE.
A mother is a human being herself and it's hard for her to take care of a child when her husband ain't even supporting rather calls her a "bad mother" , when her mother-in-law forces her to make her child stay at their home cuz apparantly she's not good at baby sitting. Yes they WORRY about the mother and the child but it's just wrong. A lot of people don't take PPD ( Postpatrum depression ) seriously.
They think it's normal becuase it happens to mostly every mother and yes it does but just becuase something occurs most of the time doesn't make it good or "normal" or great to ignore. All the mothers I know in my neighborhood or in my family, they always take care of the child while the father is away "working" doesn't come home after 10 or 11 pm at night, doesn't help the mother cuz that's her job .
If she's bad at it then scold her. Not does the mother has to take care of the child but she has to take care of the husband too cuz he's a child himself. Till the day my mother gives water to my father cuz apparantly he can't take water for himself. When I was little my father didn't even loved in our house cuz he had to "work" so we can live. Society always pressurize the mother to be the superwoman mother and work is just out of the case.
If you want to work then you have to take care of the child too cuz even though you do the same "hard" work as your husband you still have to be the superwoman and your husband will still not help you and he will still criticize you for being a bad mother. That's why a lot of women prefer to be a housewife only.
The husband is always considered an "ideal husband" becuase he "allows" the woman to work, is kind, brings enough money to the table and does not have an affair . Such obvious things make the husband a great Husband. You must be thinking that I'm lying cuz it's the 2020 and that petty things still happens ?? Well yes they do happen! Atleast in front me.
I've always grown up seeing this in my neighbor's houses and I think in most of the Asia this is the case and no one talks about it. No one! And it's amazing how greatly and deeply this 6 episode drama has talked about this taboo topic. Basically the drama dwells deep into the psychology of women and men in Japan and I think a lot of asain people can relate to that.
The drama doesn't tell you what's right or wrong. It tells you two different perspective and YOU have to decide what right or wrong for you. It talks about such social topics that basically everyone faces but doesn't talks about. It's frustrating to watch yet still beautifully done.
It's not for those people who watch dramas for peace or an escape from harsh reality. Instead it's for those people who love dramas that talks about social problems and mental illness, like me. I tried SO hard to find a fault in this drama since I don't let myself give a drama 10/10 rating much but I just couldn't find a fault in it. The drama is just, everything in it is just perfect for me . Straight 10/10! I highly recommend it!!!
