I'm asking from reading the synopsis, I'm still waiting subs to watch.

If she wants to build the bridge, the right way shouldn't be to join the town hall?

No problem with a bit of drama near the end, but this is a japanese story, so it had to be "nonsensical".
The way they talk is like neither Yumiko or Kana can be married and working. If they marry they have to stop working and doing what they love. Nothing of that was necessary, pure bullshit.

This and Yumiko dying in the end, such and old cliché.
Why not just have her and Kanna living together, even rising Yuna together?
Missed opportunity.

First, that Akina Nakamori, never knew about her.
I loved her, she displayed a really good and convincing performance here.
And of course, she was so cute... Her beauty is a bit difference from the "conventional" for lead roles, right? Just compare her to Narumi Yasuda. Personally for me she is much more beauty. It's not a "boring beauty", if you know what I mean.

Moving on, this was a good drama, really liked but of course, they had to find a way to spoil things a bit.
Read below:

I understand Hana's despair and is a very sound decision she makes.
If she stays alone she'll get to a point when can't bear anymore, to not forget all that she'll have to suffer until she get to that point.
It's hard to go alone, without support, emotional support.
That being said I don't like that she has to "love" Ittaku, and marry him. Didn't she made that decision for herself in the first place? feels like she is paying him back for what she is asking. Yes, it'd be with a weigh on her mind knowing that he likes her, but this weigh isn't ever higher forcing herself to "love" him back?
It's "forced" romance, for me unnecessary.

I'm watching and I have to say something about episode six:

It's not a matter of interpretation, there were holes in the story, parts that made no sense (like the protagonist confessing a crime to the police's face and they don't even register) and some little dishonest bits that changed what we had seen before slightly to "reveal" the twist.
Among other things.

Original story?

Didn't impressed me at all, flawed story and execution.

Hope I can at least see the raws.

NO, it is NOT!
What a bad joke was that?!
Seriously, what a huge disappointment.
Good idea, failed execution.

"I agree with her husbands point. It's also possible to become happy with just both of them"
The interesting in this story that we got is that she also understood this! She wanted children but had accepted that they could make one together. It was the pressure for others that made she that way. She is a very successful and realized woman, but because she isn't a mother she is a worthless failure? Nothing that she does and accomplishes matters?
For me this was her drama, and yes, they could add this point that just because you aren't the biological parent you aren't less of a parent, and being the biological parent don't make you a better parent.
But anyway, it's not a 10, it's a 20.

Hey?
Wants to know the one thing that is missing?

Besides Mizuho's trial, we have 4 couples.
3 of them have satisfactory endings, 1 of them not.
I'm talking about (Mutsumi) Haga. Her "problem" isn't discussed with her husband in the end, husband that was mostly missing from the story, and there's a clear "solution": adoption.
Going that way this story could also touch this huge problem. The United States/UNICEF is very critical of Japan, their laws punish the children. Very fast the children are put into institutions, preventing them from growing on normal homes. Even with abuse and without being able to get their child back the parents can deny that their child go to foster homes. There's a lot of abandoned and forgotten child locked inside institutions.

It's strange that her story didn't want this path and didn't even got a satisfactory ending. By her stance after at the end of the trial she can "do it" again.

Because there isn't "absolute truths", and even if they exist isn't relevant.
When even the person in the center of the matter have it's own interpretation AND opinion about what did/happened, who knows the truth? What's the point of the truth?
This was a relevant plot point, after all, we all make judgments, constantly.

Months ago, I watched "Marumaru Tsuma", also with Kou Shibasaki.
There she played the wife of a "newscaster".
It wasn't the only drama with that "problem", but it was exacerbated by this detail. The problem being "the difficulty that japanese scriptwriters have writing good monologues and speeches". It always feels like the character isn't saying enough, isn't saying what he should be saying, it's missing the point.
Well, my friendos, Shinozaki Eriko did it. She wrote a perfect speech/monologue here. Nothing is missing in it, it says everything that should be said by the character and context, and to move and conclude the story.
Perfect.

Also, this drama is 20 out of 10.
Superb and must watch for everyone.

There's so many things to talk about the forth episode, but I'm almost having an aneurysm here, I need rest.

There's a thing that I have to say... While I like Kou Shibasaki I really dislike the way she acts/talks that you can see in these two first episodes (the ones translated until now), with that meek way of talking.
I like her more when she is more "fiery".

At first you may think, "oh, just another crime drama", because with the judgment it's categorized as a "court drama" but when you sit and watch... it's like what is being judged is not just that case in the court and not that single mother, it's much more.

I watched the episode 2 and I say that it's not only about "mothers" and the women side. It shows how the japanese society today is skewed against having and raising children and prevents a healthy marriage.
The men/husbands side is being shown and is adding a lot.

Any idea where I can still find this?
