Kotaki Brothers and Shikuhakku (2020)

A simple cozy and sometimes bittersweet dorama

This is one of those nuggets of gold we find from time to time. I started watching because the poster seemed fun, it had great actors and it was only half an hour per episode.

What I got in return was hours of joy, smiles, laughs and reflective moments. At the beginning of each episode a word is presented to us and by the end we get its meaning and how it relates to the episode story.

At moments I got to relate to each of the three main characters. It made me pause and reflect sometimes about my life, but in a positive way. No existential crisis.

In short, if you are looking for something good to watch, I highly recommend you hire these oyajis (ie pick up this show).

PS: The opening is dope af

"Keep on walking"

Some odd moments in the first episode made me fall in love (yes it was the crowbar :D) . Amazing storytelling with a surprising plot. Some bittersweet themes. Interesting directing.

I liked how after each episode there was a word that kind of wrapped up what the theme for each episode was. These was also character growth and this really interesting vibe you get from visiting small cafes. Starting this I thought that I'm not that into slice of life dramas, but this one proved me wrong.

The OST was amazing!!!! I think this one had like three songs, but I liked to hear them all!!!
