Hokago Karte (2024)

Truly a hidden gem

I closed off 2024 with this being the last series that I have watched, and I am glad that I made that decision, as this series has me lost for words, but I will try my best to describe it.

I started this series in a whim and was captivated by the ML and the supporting cast, especially the children's actors. They portrayed their characters so well that at nearly episodes, I was crying for some of the scenes. The interaction with the kids made Dr. Makino grow as a person besides thinking as a doctor, which is why this made the series more heartwarming for me. His grumpy personality couldn't keep those kids away, as they saw his infirmary as a safe haven for them once they got to know him. He went further than he was called to, as he deeply wanted all the kids to remain healthy.

The child actors stunned me with their acting skills, as I just was not expecting that calibre of acting from them, especially the younger ones. They were able to pull off emotional scenes, getting me to cry at whatever situation the characters were going through at the time.

I would also like to add that sometimes the ending of a series can just upset me. That was not the case with Hokago Karte. It was simple yet impactful (this is what I personally believe), and it gave a wonderful series a good ending.

I do hope that other people give this series a chance, as they are truly missing out on a wonderful series. So grateful that I stumbled on it on Netfix and that I watched it.
