Worth seeking out

An inquisitive, full of life young Thai woman ends up in Japan on her own and not knowing the language. The family at the farm where she'll be living and working for three weeks is warm, kind and welcoming. Two more show up and cause a bit of chaos. There's a fair bit of sightseeing and a lot of food, some out at markets and restaurants but the most memorable are at home amongst this found family.

Everything is balanced. Jook's vitality, Mee's calm steadiness; uncle Hattori's mischievous grin, his daughter Naomi's gentleness; difficulties when there isn't a shared language, the ways they find around that. All of the characters are well thought out and portrayed. They're each distinct in personality but fit together well. It's a lovely group of people to spend time with.

It's a quiet series, which might disappoint some. The emotions aren't big or dramatic, they're just very real.

light and warm at the same time

this miniseries is light but quite complicated. Jook and Mee honestly are two red flags who are fooled even though they each have genuinely loving partners. Personally, i was more entertained by Mean (Bank) and Jeang (Jamyjames) because they're funny, noisy, and genuinely caring towards their sister and brother. Naomi and Uncle Hattori are really kind and gentle, also Mee is gentle too but can be annoying at times. in the end, they're fun people to hang out with. i liked the story and how the ending balanced out each character's role perfectly.
