Silent

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Silent (2022, Japan)

Directors: Hiroki Kazama & Mai Takano

Writer: Miku Ubukata

Mini-review:

In the 10+ years I've been a part of the J-drama fan community, very few shows have taken it by storm like Silent in Fall 2022. There was so much hype and buzz around it that it felt daunting to watch it, so I ended up putting it off time and time again. Now, I regret not starting it back then, cause it really is that good. All the characters and their relationships are beautifully complex, even if I have to admit I didn't always understand/agree with their decisions. Also, I loved that the writer put the focus on healthy communication, pretty much showing that it's the key to everything, no matter what shape it takes. The drama's reflections on society's perception of disabled people are also quite interesting, and most dramas would never dare to talk about this stuff so frankly. On top of that, Haruna Kawaguchi and Ren Meguro give two beautiful, nuanced and unforgettable performances, making the whole thing all the more special. And kudos to the drama's team for actually casting some deaf actors, even if they only play very minor roles. (Yes, that's not much, but it's really rare in Asian dramas, so it's a start). Anyway, I'm really glad this gorgeous show met my crazy-high expectations.

Whether a lie is good or bad depends on the situation and perspective. If that's the case, you would just have to do what you think is right, right? What I think is right… After all, you wouldn't use your power to hurt others, right? So, why don't you just do what you want?

Roppongi Class. 8

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Itaewon Class (kdrama remake)

Do I think this is better then the original kdrama Itaewon Class? Everyone has their own opinions but for me a hundred percent yes absolutely. The storyline is pretty much the same but the characters are a bit more written better. I definitely liked Takeuchi Ryoma much more than Park Seo Joon. It could be the way they both were directed differently, no clue since I usually love Joon’s dramas and Itaewon was just meh for me while this was top notch.

From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke (2023) (Ep 1)

[en-qq]

i watched the first episode of the usotoki rhetoric live action and

a) i'm really mad about them making kanokos mother lie to her when she told kanoko to come back when things get too hard for her, when this is *the very thing* that didn't happen, which the original made an entire point of by dedicating a whole arc to it

b) i love the rest so much lol like, when sensei told tarou-chan there's nothing more expensive in life than something you get for free, a direct quote from the later chapters from senseis and hanasakis time in highschool-->i guess this means we won't get outright flashbacks, but i'm actually fine with that, i think i like sprinkling hints here and there more as a choice (though i suppose this could mean kanoko-mother-arc won't be happening either). also, no idea if this was intentional or not, and it's not like we got any ages or anything confirmed, but i like that kanokos actress is in her late twenties as opposed to late teens lol maybe they'll try to tell us she's totally 16 guyzz like in the manga, but for now i'm headcanoning her being a bit older lol also i loved the scene where she fought over the fish with inari so much omg. i wonder how much will adapted, i haven't researched anything about the live action, so i got absolutely no idea but i imagine (if they aren'T DOING KANOKO-MOM-ARc i guess) the sensei gets accused and subsequent shirou arc will take up most of the time; i just hope it stays as truthful to the original as it has been so far, there were scenes where i was amazed simply because it looked exactly like in the manga, down to the camera perspective lol

c) also this is another bulletpoint because i don't know where to put it in b) not because it's so important as is the case with a), we didn't get a lot of chiyo action yet, but the bit we did get was great lmao i loved the scene where she was mimicing her father behind his back when he apologized for her behaviour so much lmao

i can't wait for tomorrow aaaaaa

Even so, to be able to live your true self without having to lie, I feel that it's a blessing. Just like how I do not have to hide my ability whenever I'm with Sensei.
