Reviews
The drama emphasizes how the lack of communication can lead to huge misunderstandings and broken hearts, but also that it’s never to late to make amends and to forgive.
Great plot, acting and soundtrack. The only bad part was the Brazilian grandchild whose Portuguese was awful! Apart from that, it’s a marvelous drama.
Two, it's show both sides of brazilian people. good and bad. And every place in the world have both. But, also show how they learn to live and love this country. A place that with time they star call home.
They made a complete new home outside Japan. They made with they had a Japan in Brazil. Now, they belong to both culture. Now we made part of the nippo-brazilian culture, and this is what define us. Two countries in one place.
