A rare gem

Writing a review after watching episode 3. This episode gave me goosebumps. Felt compelled to write one.

This is a work in contrasts, a brilliant interplay of the heavy and light in life. Takeuchi Ryoma plays as himself and we see slices of his life as he gets unplanned breaks from his filming work. The way he spends these breaks is nothing spectacular, but we see the richness hidden within the mundanity of everyday life. Trivial occurrences can fill you with joy or prick like a thorn on your self-worth. He looks at his own experiences in almost comical but kind way and derives deep lessons about living. The viewer joins him in this journey and can identify with not only this weight that can pull you down everyday, but also the desire to live fully that breaks through this heaviness. The simple lessons about life delivered in a off-hand way leaves a mark on you. If you appreciate a good black coffee you will surely like it. Go watch this!
