1. Influence
Japanese Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
A Twisted Way of showing Friendship and Loyalty
Yuri, Maho, and Sakoto
- Three Girls in the 1980's form a connection that leads to a twisted friendship between them.
- I must say this drama is deeper than you think. It really shows how the system and society failed to protect young woman all the way to their adulthood time and time again, in a society where most people prefer to ignore this issues because is not happening to them, and that's when it gives you some hope how three friends completely different from each other formed an unexpected connection and protected one another.
- Trigger warning; Sexual Assault, please don't read above if you're not comfortable with those topics.
- Is important to notice how society failed to protect Maho and Yuri from being sexually assaulted, and Sotoko from being sexually abused by her grandpa and later on from being also abused by her husband. They stood up for each other in an unexpected way that leaded to many bad decisions, and how it has consequences, but overall the show tell us an important story about friendship, and loyalty.
- . This was FANTASTIC. There couldn't have been a better title than 'Influence' for this drama. Unlike sappy and positive stories of friendship, this was a twisted tale of friendship (and even love).
- Well-rounded storytelling filled with complex and layered characters that kept my interest throughout. It was a great psychological mystery / suspense. Highly recommended for anyone who is into this genre. It will teach you a thing or two about the way our actions and decisions are often 'influenced' by the variables in our life (in this case it was friendship / love & society partly).
