The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House (2023, Japan)

Directors: Hirokazu Kore-eda, Hiroshi Okuyama, Takuma Sato & Megumi Tsuno

Writers: Hirokazu Kore-eda, Takuma Sato, Megumi Tsuno & Mami Sunada

Mini-review:

I love Hirokazu Kore-eda's style, and you can feel his hand throughout the nine episodes, even if he worked with more people. This show is such a lovely, soothing and relaxing experience. Nothing much happens (it's a classic slice of life story), but if you enjoy its vibes, it never gets boring. Sure, maybe it could have used a doses or two of drama, but at the same time I feel like that would have shattered the peaceful atmosphere it carefully builds from the first episode. I do wish the show would have delved into the many controversies and problems that surround the maiko/geiko industry, specially considering Kore-eda has strongly supported the #MeToo movement within the Japanese film world, but, once again, I get that something like that would have gone against the whole point of the show.

Anyway, I feel like I'm rambling here. The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House is quite lovely and as well acted and sensitively written/directed as one could expect from Hirokazu Kore-eda. Also, make sure to watch it on a full stomach, cause there's a lot of delicious-looking food here that will certainly make you go hungry.

First Love: Hatsukoi (初恋)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2022

First Love: Hatsukoi (初恋) (2022, Japan)

Director & Writer: Yuri Kanchiku

Mini-review:

I'm going to start by saying that, from the very moment this drama was announced, it was like a dream come true for me: a story inspired by music from one of my favorite artists of all time (Hikaru Utada) and starring one of my favorite actresses in the world (Hikari Mitsushima). My expectations were obviously super-high, and fortunately, it didn't disappoint at all. Sure, there were a lot of clichés, but I firmly belive that clichés are great when you know how to use them properly, and it's clear Yuri Kanchiku knew exactly what she was doing. The acting is brilliant and there is no weak link in the cast, but I need to give a special shoutout to Taisei Kido. I had never seen him before and I felt he was so charming and charismatic, I really hope this becomes a breakout role for him. Another thing I want to highlight is the cinematography, which is absolutely gorgeous and unlike anything I've seen in a J-drama, it looked even better than many movies. To sum up, this is without a doubt the best Netflix Japan Original released so far.

P.S. The one little complain that I have is that I wish they had used more Utada music, beyond the title songs and Automatic. They have a lot of hits that span more than 20 years, and those songs would have helped a lot with setting up the time-periods. But anyway, that's it.
