Just finished this and I'm an emotional wreck.
The story about an abused child being kidnapped by a woman with no motherly instinct and how they change one another along their amazing journey is heart-wrenching.
I find when child actors are used they tend to be annoying when given to much screen time and are best delegated to the background. Not in this case. Ashida Mana- there are simply no words to describe this young actress. When I say astonishing... I was just blown away by her. There are adult actors who can't even hold a candle to this girl. Matsuyuki Yasuko as the woman, who I thought, didn't really know her place in he world and didn't feel like she belonged anywhere was fantastic as well. When she cried I cried, when she was scared I was scared- I felt like I was on the journey with her.
The writing/ progression of the story had my eyes glued the entire time. I didn't know how it would end until the end and I like that with a drama. It also had me questioning myself as to what I would do in that sort of situation- could I go through with it?
If you're in the mood to watch something with an amazing cast, amazing writing, and that will have you balling your eyes out- this is for you.
