The more and more I’ve been skipping dramas/movies synopses’ since they’re rarely able to pass the essence of the plot. Facts, still ok, but not all the meaningful things hidden in them.

This is specially true for dramas like Tonbi, that may look quite simple, the story of a father and son, nothing really spectacular, but Tonbi is the prove that dramas don’t need love triangles, serial killers or revenge plot to be entertaining.

Life itself is an emotional ride just like we see this father and son growing up and learning together, and with the great people around them that look much more like huge and warm family.

I laughed a lot, cried almost in every episode (when I’m rarely crying over dramas these days) and not for sadness but just because it was beautiful to watch. Like it’s said, I thought people would smile when they’re really happy, but I was wrong, they cry. That was exactly me watching this.

Enjoyed everything about it and highly recommend for everyone. A heartwarming plot, with a strong cast and great life lessons!

Btw, a special attention for little Akira who is just a super precious little creature impossible not to love. And a big thanks to Takeru since I’d probably have missed this gem if I hadn’t fall in love with him and been stalking all his projects. The man knows how to choose them!
