Nami Uraraka ni, Meoto Biyori: Episode 1

Sometimes, all we need in our lives is just a simple drama about a man and woman falling in love and honestly, at least what I’ve seen so far, Nami Uraraka ni, Meoto Biyori seems to be fulfilling that for me.

It’s a story of Sekiya Natsumi (Yoshine Kyoko) and her arranged marriage to navy sub-lieutenant Ebata Takimasa (Honda Kyoya) in the Showa Era. The drama places us in 1936. From the premise, it seems like a simple story of two inexperienced youths get married without knowing anything about each other, or even about romance, and growing together. It’s a simple enough description and the first episode takes us head first into their married life and all of the learning curves that come with it.

Ikinari Kon: Episode 1

Sometimes a series can surprise you and I can confidently say that Ikinari Kon is one of them. I didn’t know anything going into this series, like a good majority of shows I stumble across, I happen to see a video or something on social media that grabs my interest. The same thing went for this show.

But Ikinari Kon is a drama that is still currently airing as I’m writing this. It’s a story of, just like the English translation of the title, a sudden marriage between an ordinary office worker, Koshiba Mao (Saito Kyoko) and Ando Hajime (Shirota Yu), a mysterious man who happens to become her new boss at work. The episodes are only around 25 minutes long, but based off of the first episode, I think it’s a drama that’s easy to get sucked into with an interesting story to tell.

We’re getting down to our final episodes and this episode has everything I could possibly wish for when it comes to work at the bank. Things are looking up for Yu Heng as he finally gets the promotion he was fighting for and things take a turn for the slight silly as our two main relationships are now working at two competing bank branches.
