Another unique Jdorama - The Morning After - Food for Thought.
Completed - 9/4/2022
This is a very interesting drama and quite hard for me to put a rating on it. When I first read the synopsis and saw that it’s rated R, I expect to see a very sexual, episodic drama with a lot of Japanese flair/uniqueness. Well, I was half correct.
“One Night Morning” could be interpreted as the morning after spending the night together. It’s probably fair to say that I thought all couples in this drama had sex the night before, and then had some type of awkward or passionate breakfast the morning after. However, not all the episodes are sexual. But there’s definitely a lot of food shown in this drama.
One thing common with these 8 stories is that we have very lonely people in this drama. The drama tells us stories of these lonely people and how they find comfort in each other either physically or emotionally. One way or another, they spend the night together and then have breakfast together the next day, all very unique to the story told. Sometimes it’s sexual, sometimes it’s pure and cute, and sometimes it’s supporting and encouraging someone to be the best person they can be.
Most of these episodes can be watched out of order, except for Ep 8. That should be saved for last. Even though the episodes are very short, for some reason, a couple of these stories feel long and slow to me. This is quite an uncommon feeling for a Jdorama for me, as they are usually short and fast-paced.
