Insane
My first J-Drama completed, and perhaps the most insane Asian drama I've watched to date. Coincidence? From what I've heard about J-Dramas... actually, enough said, let's talk about Mosaic Japan. It was such a completely bizarre drama. But it can easily be loved, as long as you don't take it at all seriously. Throw all logic out of the window, and just sit back and take in whatever crazy thing is happening. It's a great drama for those times when you feel like having a "stupid day" or if you feel like watching a "stupid drama".
That being said, the story did feel very rushed, which is easily the biggest downfall of Mosaic Japan. It's so rushed that it feels like this should be a 10 episode drama, but the editors accidentally permanently deleted episodes 2,4,6,8 and 10. It had such great potential. I did like that there were some quite serious aspects of the story which was nice and unexpected. What I also liked about the story was how the company tried to find loopholes with their distribution and editing, the "mosaic" features due to Japanese law etc.
I absolutely loved the characters in this. Absolutely crazy, nearly all of them loveable. All having really interesting personalities and outlooks on life which in turn made for the conversations between them all really enjoyable and unpredictable. I am unfamiliar with all the cast, but I enjoyed the acting too. Especially from the main three characters (if you want to know who they are, feel free to message me, but you can just as easily watch it - which I do recommend, even though the overall score is just 6 out of 10). The OST was small but sweet.
