Uchi no Otto wa Shigoto ga Dekinai (2017)

Story (9) - It is a very simple story about an ordinary couple making the best of work and life. Though I have trouble with the whole housewife image, dramas push on women, but this drama depicted that in a very positive light. While a husband tries his best at work, a housewife tries her best to keep him going. It is the little things like a lunchbox that really show how much a woman cares for you. And it is as difficult being a housewife than being at work. This show perfectly showed how two people complement each other, motivate each other and what it truly means to be a partner for life.
Life hack- Everything can be solved, if you just talk it out.

Acting/Cast (10) - Nishikido Ryo is my favourite Japanese actor. He is also the only actor that can make me cry - just by his expressions. And he did not disappoint me. Mayu was a treat as well, and despite the age gap, their chemistry was heartwarming. Also, all the side characters were lovable - despite their quirks. From an acting standpoint, you could feel the emotions properly conveyed.

Music (9) - This show has small musical dream segments in between. Most of them starting with the line - “He had the eyes of a deadfish”. At first, I did not know how to take it in, since it felt a little over the top but later I was looking forward to them. The music was catchy and they were hilarious. I have been replaying them now.

Rewatch Value (8) - Maybe some fine day, when I am not feeling good, I’ll rewatch this to warm me up.

Overall (9) - It is a perfect, feel good, slice of life drama. If you’re looking for a story with plot twists and melodrama or villains, this has none of it. It is just an everyday journal of two ordinary people trying to make each other happy.

Heartwarming and Encouraging

A slice of life drama will always bring to you somehow a home feeling vibes throughout the show.

I love this drama not because it doesn't have flaws. It does. But how it teaches me about life's attitude. In the workplace, in the household, and in the society afterall.

I could rate it 10 instead of 9.5 because how it brought to me smiles and tears altogether.

Afterall, I like all of the characters. The ML and FL isn't flawless at all but they teach us a lot of things in relationship and it does feel so realistic.

Somehow I feel like I need to get married asap while watching this? but tetsupon is just a fictional character afterall?

I would recommend this to every slice of life enjoyer and marriage couple trope enjoyer as well. A healthy relationship with a very heartwarming vibes, so it's a must watch!
