Kansatsui Asagao (2019)

More people need to watch this drama!

This is one of my all-time-favorite Jdramas. Almost everything is perfect in this drama...the cast, the plot, the acting, the ost, the pacing... At first this drama might look like typical medical/ forensic drama, but trust me it gets better after each episode. Ueno Juri did very well portraying Asagao's character. Asagao seemed distant to everyone at first, but in fact she has such a fragile heart. The 4 member-family (Asagao, her father, her husband and her daughter) has a great chemistry. Saburo Tokito, Kazama Shunsuke and the child actress Yuzuna Kato did well too!!!

The sensitive topic (the main characters are struggling to move on from Tohoku's trauma) might be the reason why this drama is not popular in Japan (cmiiw), but watching this will make you realize how important life is, and appreciate the little things that happened in life...

The most deciding factor for my 10/10 rating is probably the OST.
Yuta Orisaka's song "Asagao" fits this drama so well, so well...makes me filled with emotions every time I listen to it. I don't know if it's originally created for the drama or not, but either way, it is a great song :') couldn't think of any other song to replace it. Even to this day if I remember the song I'd remember the drama too :")
