Shizumanai hone (2003)

Involves traveling and people contemplation death. Tearjerkers.

Both are about human relations and how people can come together without needing to have anything in common.

Heartwarming relationships.

Tearjerkers.

Tearjerkers.

Unlikely people coming close in unconventional ways. Bittersweet.

Stories of adults trying to protect and guide children at the cost of themselves. Stories of different generations coming together.

Dramas where the parental figure is trying to save and guide the newer generation even when they themselves are falling apart. 3 nen a gumi is more radical while Shizumanai Hone is nuanced. Both have their own merits. Beautiful and heart wrenching stories.

Both star Sugiura Naoki and Kamiki Ryunosuke. They are both bittersweet in their own ways.

Tearjerkers.
