add9 Code (2021)

A fun, short and sweet drama to watch.

So bad news, this drama still has English subs only for episode 1. But I didn't have a problem watching it without subs, so that's alright.
Didn't know what to expect when getting into it. This had a few familiar faces so I thought of trying it out. And I'm glad about that decision.
The plot:
It's about Miki and her co-workers who connect professionally and personally through music and secretly giving advice to each other on a forum. It starts with Miki, a part-timer getting fired from her job due to the financial struggle of the restaurant she worked in, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She eventually finds out that's not the reason. But after getting fired she searches for a job through a site and immediately gets an offer from a music producer, Goto Ryu, who is in a slump. After she starts working for him as an assistant, he hires an animator and an illustrator for his new song's music video after taking her suggestion. The story involves around how these 4 people connect and grow through their work involving music. The plot was really nice. These characters had their own struggles, but they overcame those with the help of each other, with or without knowing that they were helping each other.
The acting/cast:
The acting was good. The main character Miki, had a really nice story, and the acting was done pretty well. The other characters were very likable too, other than a certain heartbreaking idiot. Goto Ryu was annoying, but not all bad.
The music:
The music was very enjoyable. Konno Ayaka has a great voice, I don't wonder why she doesn't sing professionally.
Rewatch value:
It's a fun and short drama, that shows the struggles people face in the careers and professional lives. So I'd like to rewatch it sometime.
I hope this would get English subs for all the episodes, so that more people could watch it. Because I'd definitely recommend this drama. So if you can understand Japanese, definitely give it a watch.
