I wanted to watch a slice-of-life drama and I found this.I loved the synopsis and started it and God what a ride. Usually slice-of-life dramas are slow and that's why some people don't like them cuz slow means boring to them.

Honestly, I too am not much fond of slow dramas but this slice-of-life drama was just awesome! From the beginning to the end it was never boring! I wouldn't say it was slow I would say it was too fast and intense! Like so much intensity it had! AHH.

Like in the first episode 1 guy died and the other wanted to murder ???( this is not a spoiler I swear haha )

As you might have read in the story part, the drama is about two families. One family is of the victim and the other one is of the killer. It's the story of their struggles and the unusual relationship of them.

As a slice-of-life drama, it was given that it would be a realistic one but many slice-of-life dramas exaggerate things, this one wasn't like that. All the things that happened felt real.

It was honestly too real and it my heart feels pain whenever I think that these kinds of things really happens in reality.

The drama was a mega hit in Japan and MDL reviews were all positive, after completing I think it deserves all the love it got cuz the screenwriting is amazing

( truly deserved the award) I usually love to analyse scripts and this one has one of the best I swear! Every dialogue has depth and meaningful. It really has an amazing script!

And the acting...oh lord oh...I don't have words to describe how much I liked the acting. Seriously although only one of the main actor won the best actor award I really think others deserved it too!

Specially the actress who played aki's mother cuz god her acting was fabulous! Every actor and actress is just... incredibly amazing. Really it is hard to find a drama with such great cast.

The emotions delivered were so amazing. The drama felt realistic cuz of the amazing script and the amazing way it was delivered by the incredible actors!

The direction didn't caught much of my attention even though all the three directors won the best director awards ?? but it wasn't so special to me ?

The picture quality was rubbish so the drama won't be cup of tea for every one cuz a lot of people want to see dramas of good picture quality which is something I don't care about but whatever.

If I had to describe the show in one line then it would " the families struggling to find happiness in life".

Yes the whole drama is just about that. Happiness. It's a word both of the families want to have but can't since 15 years and maybe will never obtain it.

The drama shows how some wounds can never heal...or maybe they can.. idk...no one knows.

It's a very tragic story like very. I cried in literally every episode. I mean they weren't literal tears. They were little tears idk how to explain lol but yes.

As I said it's a very intense drama , seriously it is. It has kind of a dark humour too if you like that like I do ???

It's an amazing slice-of-life drama with a very flowing story. Like it's not slow and it's not fast, it's flow is just perfect. With amazing characters and yes psychology!

Psychology is in there cuz there is a guy with some mental illness and I love how they tried to tell the audience his feelings too and not just label him as the "villian".

Overall this drama is an amazing slice-of-life with a tragic story and a message " no matter what life throws at you, you'll still live" the message is cruel but all the drama they are trying to tell us that life is hard but we gotta

love for no reason. Just live. It's not a drama to describe by one. It's a drama you'd understand while watching it yourself and feeling every thing.

Just watch it if you love slice-of-life dramas or tragic dramas! This one has got a place in my favourite do ana list without a further ado! And no wonder the drama won the best drama award in Japan! Truly deserved!
