Simplifica

and I wonder who is the most hateful mother in law/ stepmother? Joo Won's mother, or Moon Chae Won's mom in Shining Inheritance?
XD

almost all post-Secret Garden kdrama rating on MDL are overrated :) so its not new

strong ep 1 :)

funny to watch fumie in drama about manga, lol

this season is a little bit quiet compared to winter, spring, and next season (fall), not many good dramas... so I think kubota got a good chance

;)

very good start, but going downhill uncontrollably in the final third

i agree ;)
depiction of love affair and evil in laws in gochisousan are somewhat fresh ones in dramaland
:D

well, almost every romance is cliche and have overused plot XD
just be patience, I think jdoramaland is in the process of searching new form of romance jdorama.

maybe thats because Haru Kuroki with her ultimately stellar performance beside him :)

great start, but turn to some makjang-ish turbulences in the middle ...

i think thats a general slightly misconception of slice of life XD

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_of_life

slice of life is better defined in anime, like non non biyori, K-ON, or tamayura. On jmovie, movies by koreeda like one of your fave.. Like Father Like Son is somewaht slice of life. On jdoramas, there are pan to soup to nekobiyori, arifureta kiseki, yasashii jikan, and gugu neko. :)

actually slice of life is very spesific genre
slice of life in purest form is rare on dramas :)

and sometimes I confused, what does "life" genre means? slice of life? drama about life aka human drama?

well, seeing is believing :)
just try to watch and you'll understand why :D

sakamoto sensei is indeed a true feminist
woman, mother, soredemo ikite yuku... his other masterpieces show an army of strong women too

:)

well, this is hard to define, lol

this is a human drama/food/dark comedy/semi slice of life dorama ... how we say this on MDL genre?

lol

thats reason number 0 for bro lontong
XD

or some crystal glasses

XD

oh yeah, almost forgot
there's Mondai Aru Restaurant; tailored specially for this theme by mighty sakamoto-sensei

for all ladies out there, pls watch

:D

that's because damsel in distress scheme/theme is bread and butter in dramaworld
XD

ppl love to see a weak, beautiful woman being saved by her white horse knight

just watch jdorama's asadoras :)

brave article ...
:)

there are some good worth mentioning abuse/rape themed drama, like Missing You; or Mahiru no Tsuki
