Drama Digest

The drama is about the real-life stories given by the residents or the people who visited Fukuoka village. The stories are about their real-life experiences with love, loss, and longing. The most exciting thing is that all the stories somehow happened in Fukuoka. Fukuoka is the capital city of Kyushu’s Fukuoka Prefecture. The stories feature a lot of celebrities, such as actors and athletes, who connect with Fukuoka village. They also include a few members of the famous Japanese girl group AKB48.

The Feel-Good Part

It’s fascinating that the drama is about real-life incidents. The theatre has a classic feel, and the plot is  written well. The chemistry between both main leads is excellent. The end of the drama is great and addictive. The aesthetic of the drama is really calm and beautiful.

The Disappointing Factor

The drama is relatively slow-paced. People who aren’t fans of classic and realistic dramas will not enjoy it. The background BGM and music could be a little bit more interesting.
