Yuube no Curry, Ashita no Pan (2014)

This is a heartwarming story about normal people dealing with normal issues like death, what happens to families after death and how to move on from grieving.

Enjoyed seeing the story unravel, understanding the history behind the situation, seeing the various characters develop and mature. I think this is OK for younger viewers too, no nudity or mature themes. Watching it gave me some thoughts on my life and how I often found it difficult to move on from the past.

There's no dynamic action and the story doesn't explode on you, but if you enjoy a slower and more mellow drama with a heartwarming ending, this is one you might enjoy.

This was about "those" people. The people who are stuck on some point in their lives while the world lives by, the ones who feel they can not join the society, the ones that lost themselves on the way and now are struggling to find it back.

Despite this gloomy start, this was such a positive drama. There are no bad people here; only lost ones. There are no completely pure/good/wise people here; only real ones.

This is a slice of life drama, told in a very laid back, kinda slow way (being only 7 episodes this is actually not slow at all; just that the story deals with people inner struggles without any protagonist or anything so at times you might feel nothing is happening).

Acting was good. I was especially impressed with Mrs. Naka Riisa. Up to now I tought her as an average actor. Here she outshone herself. I felt her characters struggle every step of the way.

If you like dramas like saigo kara nibanme no koi, osozaki no himawari or oishii gohan then I think you will like this one too. Please note that story here is nothing like those I mentioned; just the feeling.

Definitely recommended.

Typical Japanese comedy melodrama with philosophical features. It talks about the people who lost something/ someone or can't move on with their life. Tbh I watched it for Riisa Naka and Junpei Mizobata. The story is kinda slow and nothing special. It is that kind of drama
you put as a "background noise" just to cry, smile or to meditate with the characters about their lives. Dialogues and scenes were very beautiful and inspiring. I like how they portrayed the "dead" people and insight on them. If you want some relaxing and motivating drama about the life of ordinary and struggling people, give it a try.

PS: Rewatch Value is low because I am not the type of person who rewatches films/dramas. Also, there was not much music to rate. And I tend to rate things quite strictly, so some people might give a better rating.
