Japanese Dramas: 2020s vs. 2000s
I really loved Rojo no Ruka (2024), but it made me damn sad, because of this:
In old doramas, happiness & warmth were found after years of pain & loneliness, but when people gained them, they had them for eternity. Even if a character left this world (which happened a lot), their warmth remained intact for others, kind of uniting them, making them 'one'.
However, now, it's totally different: Sure, there are heart-warming moments here and there, but in the end, individuals are individuals, having to deal with their own problems by themselves.
So I'd say the Japanese society has changed deeply.
My Rating: 9/10 (I appreciate its honesty, among other things).
