O Que Você Comeu Ontem? SP (2020)

Bacana, mas não especial.

É um episódio legal de assistir, porém parece um junção de diversos episódios em um só. Não tem um arco principal, parece diversas sketches. Se for pra ser assim, melhor só continuar na sequência na série.

Foi interessante ver um pouco mais do personagem Wataru/Gilbert. Confirmou que ele realmente é um insuportável e que aquela barbicha ridícula é de propósito, mas também mostra que ele se importa com o que Kohinata pensa dele (porém a vontade de que ele desse um chega pra lá no menino é forte).
Vimos um poucos mais da rotina e evolução do Shiro e Kenji.
Mais receitas deliciosas sendo feitas. E foi isso.

A essência da do jdrama permanece. Leveza, bom humor e reflexões.
Mas como episódio ~especial~ não acrescenta em nada.

I watched this special earlier this year (it seems like it’s been a decade, with all that’s going on) and I thought I wouldn’t write a review, but after watching other things after, I came back to it, watched it again and I feel like it deserves some love.

This special has all the feel-good energy of the drama, which I consider as heartwarming as the meals they prepare in it. If you liked the food, the feels and the domestic fluff of the series, this has all of it.

Storytelling-wise, it doesn’t add anything too crucial (aside from Miyazawa Rie making an appearance as the famous Mitsuya Mami), but it does develop interesting elements upon what the show discussed. There’s more about Shiro’s feelings towards his relationship with Kenji, about their plans of growing old together, and details about his relationship with his mom, past and present. This drama has never shied away from difficult subjects while remaining positive, and the special is no exception. A specific scene with Shiro’s mother got me feeling all sorts of emotions.

The special is divided into three mini arcs, the first and last centered in Shiro and Kenji, whereas the middle one is centered in Kohinata and Wataru, which I could have lived without, but I think it’s amenable enough, all things considered.

All in all, it’s an extension of the series that delves into some of the aspects outlined there but doesn’t add anything too major. Still, this is such a feel-good series, I come back to it when I need some pick-me up energy, and this is a good way to come back. The food is still amazing, by the way.

Apparently, there will be a movie, so maybe this special was meant to tie the two. In any case, it’s as enjoyable as the series, so if you liked it, I’d give the special a go.
