Inu wo Kau to Iu Koto (2011)

I was very much surprised with this drama. I started watching it because I liked the cast and the story sounded interesting enough, and I'm so happy I did, because it has found it's place to my heart in a way.

I ended up with a lot of questions in my head like: Can a person ignore its old dreams to create new ones? Can we be happy if we grab to the little things and ignore the rest? Is a short life worth living? Is love enough to support a family? Can we smile when everything is falling apart?

The story is simple but touching, and kept me wanting to see the next episode. Often I laughed and often tears came into my eyes. It mixes a lot of subjects like work, dreams, raising children, animals, society, life and death.

I already knew a lot of the actors, but not the children, all of them were simply great, even the dog! Nishikido Ryo and Mizukawa Asami make an excelente pair. And even though the drama is not a romance drama, you can capture in the little gestures and words, the love they have for each other, even if they don't say it, you can almost feel it. It gives a sense of reality to the all story.

The music was good, and fited the moments well, but it was nothing out of the ordinary.

As for watching this drama again, I will definitly re-watch some of my favorite scenes.

This is not a "five stars" drama, but for a family drama it is very good and I surely recommend it within the gender.
