Kamisama no Karute (2021)

First I have to say that the title and synopsis misled my expectations to the drama, I was thinking it will be about a doctor who perform miracles in the middle of dire situations. The drama is more about slice of life type, where you'll see many people who have their own struggles but every one seems to perceive he/she negatively without completely understanding him/her. The pace is incredibly slow, but as a compensation you can see nice views in the background. The key is to survive Episode 1, as in the next one you will start to know why it has quite a good rating. There are some nice surprises in this seemingly calm drama, but as we go to the end the story somewhat failed to impress me in term of the emotional aspect.

Talking about the casts, Fukushi Sota really managed to impress me in his role as Ichito, I can feel the sincerity he tried to portray. Nana Seino as Haruna also did a solid job as an understanding wife. I also liked Dr. Naito and the director of the hospital (and the running gag with them too). Overall, the drama is a good watch and it managed to give lessons to the viewers without being so idealistic. I'd recommend it if you are a patient watcher and love emotional stories.
