This show is not something to miss! I was captivated by the first few minutes of the first episode and with a cast of amazing, talented, and genuine actors and actresses this show is an absolute immediate favorite!

I wanted to watch this show at the beginning because I am a fan of Tanihara Shosuke, but once I began watching I noticed this show had a perfectly picked cast of many unique, talented actors and actresses. Sorimachi Takashi, for one, in my opinion at least, stole the show almost immediately! However, Matsuoka Mayu is a close runner up. I can see why these three (Sorimachi, Tanihara, and Matsuoka) are listed as the three main characters.

Although, once you begin this show, there will never be any letting go. With an exceptional cast (including the above 3) of favorites such as Hiraizumi Sei, Suzuki Kosuke, Furuta Arata, and Nagayama Aiko! This drama has touched on every aspect of human emotions; in fact, I would say "drama" is a fitting genre for this show because within each episode something happened that was very dramatic and very relatable no matter what field of work you are in or what type of life you grew up in or lead now.

The relationship between each villager was such a realistic family that it was fantastic to see them all hard at work and with each happiness, I felt it too; as well as with each bittersweet heartbreak. This show, I believe, is underrated and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. To watch the life of this village become alive again and again and again is something I would watch a hundred times over!
