Beautiful, Heartfelt, Emotional

This was such a heartwarming (and at times heartbreaking) medical drama! There were episodes where I had tears flowing down my cheeks with a smile on my face – especially in the last one – and there were others where I just wanted to put it on pause for a while and cry and reflect. This is such a marvel of a show! The characters, each one of them, had something valuable to give to the patients as well as to us, the viewers. Even characters that might seem a little cold at first, once we get to know their story, we can empathise with them and root for them. Ayano Go san as Kounodori Sensei was so perfect! How he deals with his patients – being so patient and honest with them with a smile on his face – was so endearing and inspiring to watch? Also, the babies. The BABIES!!! Be prepared to have your heart melt into mush by so many kawaii babies???

I'm so glad we have a second season! I have already started missing all of them even though I just finished the series(⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠) I'm also thinking of checking out the manga (Dr. Storks in English) on which this dorama is based. I haven't watched a lot of medical jdramas, but this one will indeed remain one of my favourites of all time❤️

If you're thinking of watching it, go ahead and give it a shot, you won't regret!!

A Heartfelt Love Story with Time-Travel

Nagareboshi was one of the most heartfelt and emotionally moving love stories I've ever watched. As someone in their review has already pointed out, it showcases the power of storytelling and its heart lies in how it portrays the human condition. The feelings of love, longing, regret and kindness have been depicted so masterfully by the characters in the story, especially by Natsuko and Kensaku. I loved how, just like the elder Natsuko (or Natsumi, should I say?) we ended up warming up to Kensaku's character after initially having met him as a brash and rude person. The last few moments of the drama made us fall in love with Kensaku just like it showed Natsuko how single-mindedly devoted he had been to her for his entire life. Marie's character added more warmth and joy to the storyline, and I loved how she understood both Natsuko and Kensaku so well. The ending of the drama is what I believe makes it such a tearjerker (I ended up crying like a child in the last few moments) but I loved how it had an open ending with hopes for a better and more loving future for both Natsuko and Kensaku.

I would love to hear the thoughts of others about the ending. Was Kensaku really brought back to life my Marie? Did that mean Marie became a shooting star? (We do get a glimpse of a shooting star in the last scene) Or was the ending really the last time Natsuko talked to Kensaku?
