..WELFARE PROTECTION - THAT'S THE LAST RESORT TO PROTECT LIVES..

..meet Yoshizune Emiru - a no hope for talent as movie director turns to a public welfare worker, a zero knowledge one..
.
..here, she with her newly hired worker are given a duty to give public assistance to those people who wants support from them just to continue to survive and to live with some necessary process to do..
.
..at first, this drama is kina unique for me because it gives me another perspective of different job offers in this country, like Kasumi Arimura's Zenkamono, a probation officer..
.
..I do love the lineup of casts since I already watch many drama on it, what really matters is the story itself..
.
..it's a 10 episode show but it's kinda shorter for me, in a sense that their some cases that takes two episodes to finish, still, I am satisfied of these cases..
.
..and each episode, always make me cry, yes..
.
..their job is a serious one too, a job that not only shows one's profession how to handle people to get their assistance..
.
..here in this drama, I learn that hearing is one of the best language to can do, you better stay aside your profession and put yourself on their situation..
.
..it's not good to judge them first and easily express your own thinking and emotion just to say that you are working to them for good unless you will see the big picture on this..
.
..a story of love of work, love to other people, a hope that everyone deserves - a second chance to change our life for good, knowing there are people like them which are ready to help you as long as you help yourself too..
.
..this drama is another masterpiece for me, the casts and staffs you are all impressive..

..THE GOD OF CHARACTERS HAS COME DOWN..

..from the plot itself, I kinda weird to me, even the trailer..
.
..but my curiosity got me the reason to watch and it's just amazing - a mind blown one..
.
..yeah, I do love detective genre drama - but I am looking for some unique piece in terms of how the process of investigation happens..
.
..this drama is kinda same from Odagiri Joe's Jikou Keisatsu where the crime happened from a years ago is open for the continuation of the investigation - well the big difference here, well obviously, the suspect must be arrest and a serious one too - though you will find a little pinch of comedy between Yashiro and Narumi-senpai..
.
..I also a fan of Kyoka Suzuki that's why I watch it, adding Haru as one of the main cast (first drama I see her)..
.
..but again, in this kind of drama, actually on the end where the truth is expose little by little, there are just some surprise happen that I don't know if I just miss an information or it just happen on that way..
.
..well, again, the unique part of this drama is that the evidence use to get infos is thru the character itself - the letter written from those people involve on the case - at first I though it's kinda weird, but yeah it's weird because anything can be part of evidence, so everything will be possible to use to solve a crime..
.
..Yashiro, most of the time indeed, act like a superhero, a lone one, doing on herself without knowing of her colleague which is not a good character an investigator have that may cause problem - I hope there will be some progress on her character and to the people on the Crime Division who always get the credit on a case is closed..
.
..overall, I do love this drama, unique, good thing there's a sequel and I am ready to watch..
.
..(you may find to watch this drama that some of the subtitle is kinda late to appear, you may feel disappointed, but still, thanks to them for the effort - knowing an improvement follows)..

..A HOTEL IS A PLACE TO CREATE MEMORIES AND TO MEET PEOPLE..

..this is a story of a hotel that going to sink due to its unpleasing status where the staffs itself are the reasons - they work individually in a sense that it's makes them comfortable and that's who they are..
.
..we may all relate on this not only on a hotel but from anywhere..
.
..where a specific person visit on it, hence, the name of the hotel - the grand reversal happens..
.
..at first, I do love the lineup of casts, they are all familiar to me plus the plot of the story..
.
..each episode, a certain character is involve to turn an event, an exchange of heart - realizing one's self, the weaknesses, the strengths..
.
..each episode always made me cry, when a certain glance of happiness is involve, when a guest encounter their satisfaction of the place, indeed, it creates memories to remember and to treasure..
.
..the ending is just right and acceptable - I am not expecting on it since I watch another series with this kind of a decision of the ML (Yosuke Eguchi's Dinner - a restaurant drama)..
.
..the staffs, the guests, they are all part of a family - to be treated well, to respect, and to love..
.
..this series is another masterpiece to me - all the persons involved on this, you are all magnificent..

..TO ALL THOSE WHO COULDN'T BECOME A GENIUS..

..first from the plot itself, I am too much related, as an artist too but not a profession, on my field of my work sometimes I am looking for a little complement or even a words of admiration too feel my worth on my work - a little motivation somehow..
.
..here an artist who work for many years but didn't receive any recognition on his works..
.
..the 3-5(?) episodes is a combination of past and present times of the ML and the FL on how they met and go apart..
.
..the FL here by the way is such a genius on all of her art but because of her past she started to change her perception on what is..
.
..the two seems like a rival - someone who will make something for himself to prove his worth, while the other one who sees something "SUCK", knowing harwork won't reach anything - perfectionist..
.
..I see here the changes of the FL 3 episodes close on the ending - where is must get match on his new boss with new team so he won't get belittle - he got more guts to work on his own not realizing a team is a must - he's still hunger for recognition for more..
.
..and as the series ends, another change of attitude happen which I expecting. . .as well as the FL after she saw all his designs and she gives more inspiration for him to continue to his work even if it is a small he can still make something for himself..
.
..though the ending itself is kinda cliffhanger questioning myself - though I am still looking for some changes in some minor casts..
.
..still I love the whole series since it is an art genre..
.
..the casts, the music, the cinematography (kinda different like the series I have watch before, like Zenkamono)..
.
..it's a masterpiece for me..

..SHOZO-SAN VS KONI..

..at first, I do watch this series because of familiar faces like Muro-san, Arata-san, and Tanaka-san..
.
..Suzuki Airi as another reason since I'm a fan of her during her Hello! Project time..
.
..the story or the climax itself started because of a typo-error on a paper that cause him [Muro] to involve in misery between two Yakuzas which are a rival too..
.
..this series is a lot of miseries on the ML..
.
..every episodes involves a lot of bad luck that a viewer might disappointed on the scene - here, he will be working between these two Yakuzas..
.
..and as we know, "one cannot serve two masters - he will follow the one and leave the another" - and it's happened so better to watch this how this turn of event occur..
.
..well since those events are the highlight, it always inserted a lot of funny scenes, also it's only a half an hour until you surprise the episode already ends..
.
..it's not a boring one to watch..
.
..though since it's a Yakuza genre expect an action scenes and even violence too..
.
..if you are looking for a drama that make you frustrated and make you laugh at the same time, this one is for you..
.
..and oohhh, I love the opening theme to and its PV..

..A VERY WEIRD ONE..

..in Japan, there's a lot of weird things they can feature - like foods, rules, culture, you name it..
.
..even on the job too - a probation officer with you such earnings. . .what is that?..
.
..this is a story of a girl soon to be decided to be a probation officer because of her past experience..
.
..here, you need to be with one of a certain criminal that may be free from prison based on their characters once they let go outside and see the society..
.
..well, I just watch this because of Kasumi Arimura getting popular to me, the time I watched her on Rurouni Kenshin and Conto ga Hajimaru..
.
..yet, I love the drama, the cinematography is so impressive which is very different from other series I have watch - the more I focus on the scenes, the more I getting feel that I am there, just a few steps with them - the staffs behind this is so creative..
.
..this is just a miniseries, not knowing if that is the last episode, until they release a movie, with different casts - telling me that it's the last episode..
.
..a very cliffhanger series for me..

..POMPOM CAKE..

..this is a story of a temporary so-called teacher, where you may think if she is really a teacher - the she talk, a short-tempered one, who is on fire to fight and the way she dress is so eye-catching..
.
..a story of a teacher who involves in cases to solve..
.
..what makes this series a unique one is that, for me, my first time to watch a detective genre where some kids are involve..
.
..the story also includes a tandem of inspector with a funny sides - but these two differs from other series I have watched - in spite of their characters, they also the one who solve the cases and sometimes the teacher did it..
.
..since from the start, where there are some kids, I didn't expect more action scene (except on the last episode though very light), the phasing of investigation and finding evidences is kinda long but easy to get..
.
..also, good to see Minami Hamabe on her young age..
.
..very light to watch and fun too..

..NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A GENIUS..

..the introvert parasitologist, the fired doctor turns to an assistant, and the snake lady working on a goverment trio..
.
..this is kinda unique genre for me where biology and detective series combined..
.
..the story is fast faced for me on Himokura's past (why he has that robotic arm) - then the later episodes get more interesting especially on its last two..
.
..I do love the animation too and it's so cute (with this I getting to love the worms haha) - and even if it's kinda long to watch they still put some funny scenes on it so no need to get serious to watch..
.
..also, I do appreciate the series when they featured the country of Philippines (where I belong), that's a bonus for me..
.
..and as what I have mentioned about the last two episodes, it reminds me the year when na pandemic (corona virus) came in different countries..
.
..here in the series, it's the ebola virus - well, the ending must be happy, by means of the vaccine they invented to stop the pandemic..
.
..the list of casts is so full-packed - and yes, this series is a genius one too..

..SILENT ANGEL..

..where the requester have their final time in silent..
.
..an ex-police turns to detective *slash* caregiver-wannabe (can't think the right term) with his partner and a nurse assistant..
.
..overall, this is less action compare to other detective/mystery genre - this is more on drama, slice of life, sort of..
.
..here, the requester (mostly old people and patient) will grant their wish come true - place want to visit, thing want to do, and yeah even the fave song want to sing - the genre include in this drama is "musical one" but don't expect on the entire episode, but just on the last minute before the episode ends..
.
..this is kinda short, with a little twist on the casts but just enough and feel satisfied until the last episodes..
.
..the casts to me are too familiar and I love the line up that's why I watch it..
.
..in the end, it also teaches us to give value the life of our loved ones especially the elderly - that just like a leaf on a tree gets old and fall on the ground..
.
..this series is so unique - impressive casts and staffs..

..RYOUKAI DESU~!!..

..long before, I do watch some video content regarding rental service in asia - boyfriend, girlfriend, middle-aged, and even a fat guy..
.
..I just wondering, is there any film about these - and here's the answer..
.
..really. . .a man who does nothing, but able to see, to hear, and to speak to you..
.
..a person only need transpo and food beverage as payment, only answer a simple one, nothing more nothing less - unless it's still a part of doing nothing..
.
..here in this film, Rental-san encounters different renter with different stories - it also tackles the different issues experience in Japan..
.
..at first you may find it boring because of this Rental-san, but what he do or say, maybe a simple one to the viewer, here it gives the renter a big impact to realize something, to change themselves, and resolve..
.
..I also find annoying some of the casts thinking that they really need to include in the story - I'm pertaining to that Kanbayashi-guy and the Magazine-guy. . .but as the before the film ends, you will find it something interesting, a turn-around moment, you will love them in the end..
.
..as I mention about the payment he receives, even the ML will encounter a problem not to himself at first but to his wife having a family..
.
..and expect a good ending, how he and her wife solve their problem as family as they raise their baby. . .so better to watch this - highly recommended..
.
..the casts and staffs are so amazing producing this kind of film, thank you - haha this one give me an idea what will I do if I get bored on my work too..

..FATE IS A MYSTERIOUS THING

..the plot itself is easy to understand how the story will go and it's different for me so I give it a try. . .I love it..
.
..the story is easy to follow, since what is happening is a reality..
.
..but here it takes emphasis on a specific ITEM between the seller and the buyer - how this THING can change someone's life (these two different people)..
.
..I just see the story (with different people in each episode), very natural, the series is kinda short, the change of heart event only took a little time (since the air time is just a less than half of hour), so I can say that I do enjoy watching their stories..
.
..again I do love this series, the new and old casts I know and the staffs - thank you for this one of a kind series..

..HISTORY X MYSTERY

..hmm. . .I do like the whole package of genre for this series - history, detective something, technology, comedy, and just a pinch of love story..
.
..kinda short with just 6 episodes..
.
..well not a big deal for me - honestly as the series starts it says that the so-called "bug" that needs to solve is really hard (except the episode 6 which I am knowledgeable on it) - there are some clues that really weird that part of the solution which you might get once it was solved..
.
..maybe, they didn't want (the staffs behind this) to put more on this kind of puzzle that's why the series is so short..
.
..but I do like the casting, the duo are all new to me, and lastly Jun Kaname which I know before..
.
..well, again, if you like this combo of genre then better to give it a try guys..

..GOOD GOOD..

..so this one covers the story when Gou Gou is still alive, when one of her assistant Minami (Kuroki Haru) didn't visit Kojima-sensei at all due to fulfilling her own manga..
.
..when Iida (Atsuko Maede), replaced Minami, with her character, I finally expecting that the story is more fun and lively - and it reached my expectation..
.
..like the previous one, the story is kinda long but I didn't find it boring, it seems like I am watching all the casts from afar..
.
..even the cats involved are very impressive - they are all teachable, I don't know how the staffs made this but it is just so cool..
.
..the art and cat concept for this story is what I love the most..

..WHERE ART AND CAT A PERFECT COMBO..

..the plot for me is enough to watch this film - being an artist (though I already quit) and a cat lover too..
.
..the episode is too long but I do enjoy every minute of it - it feels like I'm watching the main character from afar, it's not bored just fun to see..
.
..the overall lesson I learned from this is film is that, in our lives, there's someone or something we lived it for us to enjoy one's life..
.
..here in the film, it's in a form of a cat/s which for us we treat as people to - they also deserve to care, to respect, and to love..
.
..kinda funny too, she (Kojima-sensei) looks like the female version of Mr. Bean (sorry for the comparison, I just imagined that the time I watch the last episode)..
.
..overall, I do appreciated this film, again for two reasons - art and cat..
.
..I am gonna treasure this one, the stories, the casts, the cats (whom stand the most, the best actors/actresses), the staffs, everything..

..I already watch the anime version of this, so I am expecting a lot on this adaptation not caring if this is the same as the anime - and I'm not disappointed haha..
.
..very funny, I do enjoy the sing and dance - their a perfect trio..
.
..I do also enjoy when their original face pop-up haha..
.
..also this is not just about fun, sing, and dance, it is a slice of life too - how to enjoy life when the reason of your life is the people around you, cheering for you, caring for you, and loving for you..
.
..love this film - all the casts and staffs..
