A Heavy Must-Watch.
There are sweet,fluffy and easy to watch series and that is great.
But,once in a while,we come across some "a strong punch right to the stomach"Dramas,which leaves us breathless,exhausted and emotionally drained.
Hokuto is one of them and we must be bold enough to decide to hit play,although we already have some notion of what to expect according to the Trigger warnings.
Dysfunctional Family, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse...Not for everyone so be prepared.If you think you can handle all those,do not hesitate to watch it.
During the whole Drama i felt i was watching a Documentary short of,with "real" footage, witnessing real people and their real lives.
Realistic Story,engaging plot and INCREDIBLE acting especially from the Main Lead.
Music and Direction gives the right Dark vibes but is not the kind of Drama you should pay attention to the technicalities.After all is a Japanese one and we all know how raw,dark and disturbed JDramas can be.As usual i got carried away by the gripping story & acting.And although iam a KDrama addict,the more i watch JDramas,the more i love them.
Every time i find Dramas like this,iam trully happy i didn't sleep on them and gave myself the opportunity to watch them.
Heavy,Dark,brought tears in my eyes and felt a cold hand was squeezing my heart all the time.But was totally worth it!
P.s.The low rewatch value i hope is understandable!
Anyhow,don't miss it.Just choose the right day to watch and as i said prepare yourself for a hard ride.
