I read your comment when I was sleepy LOL
My bad!

Curious - what did you not like about the ending? I loved it!

I just finished Nanyobi ni Umareta no and happy to say that Nojima Shinji came back with a bang. I freaking loved it! It was so damn good.

I just finished Nanyobi ni Umareta no. Highly recommend it!

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA!!!!!!!!!
Till the last scene of the last episode, it felt like I was watching a book come to life. The way the entire story unfolded and kept me on the edge till the last scene - freaking PERFECTION!
The characters felt so real and yet were so out-of-the-box. Basically so many things about this drama screamed ORIGINAL and EDGY. A rare combination achieved by the master Nojima Shinji who is one of my favourite writers. Once you start, you won't be able to stop until you finish it. This one's definitely one of my favourite drama from 2023 that had a great combination of romance, mystery, psychological and slice-of-life done right.
Highly highly recommend this gem for everyone.

A wonderful slice of life drama that leaves you feeling warm and loved, like you were given a big hug. Thank you to the entire team for this gem.
Maida Nono, please take a bow! She's so young but damn I found her believable as a 40 year old from the moment she came on screen. Such phenomenal, nuanced acting! Her brilliant performance took this already great script to greater heights. I cried and laughed with her. Thanks to her, this drama will stay with me for a long long time.
Highly highly recommended for all!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I"m finally gonna start this. Excited for it!

WOW what a drama! A heartwarming and wholesome journey of a man on a beautiful red Honda tracing his wife's last steps throughout Japan in what turned out to be a liberating experience for him. This was by no means a romantic drama, but it was all about the love and devotion the FL had for her husband. They were companions and her death set him out on this journey where he learnt to grieve, reconcile his past, and come out of his shell a little more.
Highly highly recommended for all. Don't miss this wonderful drama and story.

P.S Dramas like these make me realise how much those who don't watch J dramas are missing out on.

Episode 4. The attention to detail, those emotions, the red Honda beauty, the lovely scenery, the meaningful encounter, the wife's care and love for her husband FREAKING ALL OF IT just blew me away.

She's been around for more than a decade and yet, she remains so underrated. Oh well...

Sakamoto Yuji disappointed with this one. It just didn't feel like he wrote this. Dropped, as it couldn't sustain my interest. Pity, I quite like the cast and the setting.

The chemistry in the original was through the roof. This one, unfortunately, does not even come close.

Yup its on hold for now.. will definitely get back to it! I do adore the ML.

I honestly can't remember. But he's in the drama since the 1st or 2nd episode I think.

Both of them have grown so much as actors. Looking forward to this!

You know they say that great minds think alike *winks* HEHE

Hmm... i'll have to think about that. But you could try these in the meantime -
Hokuto
Kazoku Game
Soredemo, Ikite Yuku

YAY thank you for letting me know :)
Can't wait!

OMG can't wait to watch it!

Haha I love shows / movies pre-2000s a lot more too! Much more authentic, real and yet feel good [at least a lot more than what we make today]
what's your favourite J drama / movie from the 90s?
