was wondering what is your fav asadora and like a top 5

hellooo my fellow asadora enjoyer ☺️✌️

my absolute favorite is Ochoyan (2020). it was actually the reason I kick-started this blog because I loved it so much that I wanted to share it with others.

not sure about a top 5 since I liked a lot of them equally, but my personal picks are:

Come Come Everybody (2021): I LOVE the concept of a story spanning 100 years with 3 protagonists from different generations. their experiences (and traumas) were interwoven together so so well. I know Come Come Everybody doesn't have the best reputation on mdl but I'd urge everyone to give it a chance 🥺

Chimudondon (2022): technically not a well written drama but a personal favorite of mine. I know you didn't like it during your watch and I, too, was constantly enraged by the terrible decisions Nobuko's brother made. however, I loved how Okinawa (and its culture) remained the central theme from start to finish, and how all the characters formed their own little community to help each other out whenever one of them was in trouble.

Miotsukushi (1985): this was a showa asadora, so the protagonist isn't some random girl pursuing her niche hobby like in many of its modern counterparts. instead it was more of a dramatic story about the hardship of life; kinda similar to Oshin, although I enjoyed this one much more. :) if you like intense romance then I strongly recommend this. if you usually prefer the slice of life asadoras then this might not be the right watch since it's quite melodramatic

you have to be the one to put new sets in the fandom tag now! do it for chiyo our girl! :((((( I miss this drama deeply and I do regret not making more stuff for it. 😔 at that time I just thought no one cares about this blog anyway so I stopped making things. but it's been dfgjdfgkgfk seeing you care about this drama as much as I did, except you're way more articulate than I ever could be!!! thank you for sharing your thoughts and your pretty edits! I love them and I'm sure they have been making others interested too!!! I hope? maybe we're one step closer to manipulating haru into watching it? who knows jk ;)

looking at my last set aaah one of my favorite moments in the drama was tenkai telling ippei "if you think you can surpass me, go ahead and try" or something along those lines. I love me a good send-off! and there are so many great moments like that in the second half of the show. one being in the ending of episode 92. another one was in the ending of episode 75. not sure if you will like those episodes, but scenes like that are the reason I love asadoras and I will probably remember them forever!
