Kakafukaka (2019)

Desfuncional

Apesar de ser um jdrama considerado +18 pelas cenas implícitas, a história aborda assuntos importantes que geralmente são tratados como tabu pelos jovens, como gravidez, sexo, disfunção sexual, traumas e etc. Porém o desenvolvimento da história e dos personagens é completamente depreciativo. A Akari é uma personagem que tem um pouco mais de discernimento em relação aos problemas de autoestima da Terada Aki, mas não sabia dizer nem o que sentia em relação ao Tomoya, mas me parece também que não era sincero, mas que ela prestou mais atenção e confundiu com os questionamentos da Terada.
Mas sem dúvidas, o combo disfuncional maior fica por conta do Tomoya, com aquela apatia extrema e do Taichi.
É o combo perfeito para terapia em grupo kkkkkkkk Enfim, viva aos recortes do instagram que nos fazem imaginar uma história completamente diferente e nos fazer de palhaçadas depois que terminamos de maratonar o dorama.

Screwed-up adults living in a screwed-up house

I'm probably going to get a lot of stick and downvotes on this review but I still want to share my dissatisfaction with this show.

STORY (No spoilers)
This show is about 4 adults with various emotional and psychological problems living together and, as a result, messing each other up with their screwed-up-ness. And fair warning: there is sexual content in this show with issues of a sexual nature raised. If you're in the mood for a rather disturbing, ambiguous show with heavy sexual content but with no proper character progression or story development then this show is for you.

With 10 episodes at around 30 minutes each, this show has very limited time to address any of the deep, fractured emotional problems and psychology the characters have. Unfortunately, this ambitious undertaking falls far short of its mark because seriously, nothing really gets addressed. The show never really delved deep into the psychology of our screwed up characters, nor into their healing process. It's a glorified 'slice of life' show about dysfunctional people being dysfunctional with a sexual twist embedded, period.

I personally thought that this show could be really intriguing and even ground-breaking with the kind of issues it raised in the early episodes but was sorely disappointed with the lack of development, growth and progression of the characters as episode after episode went by. There was no effort made by the show to address any of the problems the characters were facing in a healthy and considerate way. These people need help - serious help - but the show doesn't tell you how to get it. This drama came across pointless and aimless and I have no idea what sort of message this show wanted to send but I was certainly getting nothing positive from it.

ACTING/ CAST
Serviceable. Nothing particularly outstanding because each character seemed to represent an extreme end of the spectrum of dysfunctionality.

I have to hand it to Masaki Nakao who plays the withdrawn and socially inept Hongyo though - the ability to deadpan some of what would be the most embarrassing lines under some of the craziest situations is noteworthy.

MUSIC
Nothing particularly outstanding or memorable.

RE-WATCH VALUE
I personally disliked the show. I have no problem with shows that introduce dysfunctional people who suffer from emotional, psychological and sexual problems but I do have an issue when a show does that without really addressing the problems it raised and simply lets its characters mess about with one another, stirring up pools of muddy water for the sake of entertainment.
