Been hooked on a japanese drama recently.It's a super old show that was shown like 10 years ago.What really hooked me on this drama is not the fact that it has charming actresses and smart actors.What attracted me to it was the fact that it is so similar to our daily lives in the show,with a bit of dramatic effect here and there,or else it wouldn't be considered as a drama right?Well,the name of the show is called 'kamisama mou sukoshi dake',which in english is also called as 'god,please give me more time'.Alot of people has seen the show,and if I'm not wrong it caused a hit in japan during that period of time.I personally would term it as a unique classic.Why?The fact that it brings about alot of thoughts and feelings at different stages of our lives in the short 12 episode series is enough to tempt to to watch it over and over again.
However,why did i put my title as above?Strangely,it is also due to a very simple fact in my life that brought about it.When I was in JC1,somethings happened to my family,and I swore that that would be the last time I'd really cry.Alright,maybe i did drop a few tears here and there due to some incidents,but nothing can be compared to the feeling I really felt when those tears dropped from mine while watching the show really gives me inspiration in my life.What I saw in there is something that I'd watched all along in many shows.Yet this show struck me hard because of the realistic feeling that I found in this small little drama.The feeling of mine really went out for the characters in the story,not because they are pitiful,but because it is these simple thoughts and feelings that made the whole story feel so truthful.As to how the story goes,for those who already knew it,good for you,watch it again.For those who have not,find it and watch it.It may not bring you a bucket of tears,which many of the people said it would,but it will definitely bring you the daunting effect of how a small little problem can cause the greatest of all fears.
After watching this series,what really made me think was the fact that this show was created 10 years ago.10 years later,shouldn't the power of creation by the scriptwriters be better?Being able to make shows that can move people even more?Strangely,that is not the case.In the past,scriptwriters created such moving dramas.10 years down the road,what are we watching now?Shows created for the sake of being able to put famous actors and actresses in to fit their current image?How does it feel to have the difference of the scripting to be even better now,in the sense that we are actually creating shows for people,and not using people to make the shows more moving?How 'great' I feel for the future of scriptwriting.Oh yes!Something I need to emphasis before I continue on.I'm not discriminating against scriptwriters or anybody related to the fields.I'm just expressing the difference in the fields that were created and the current trend.Hope this does not bring about any unhappiness.Back to the topic.Don't we all find that we are now walking home everyday to watch the kind of shows that are being in the extreme societies?Imagine the shows now.How many of us are really experiencing those effects that are having onto us?Take the above show for comparison,the dramatic part came like a normal day happening and then it just happened.Yet it is so shocking for people to even admit.A story being able to advance to this level.Seriously,if it was able to be created in the past,why are we not able to create them now?Because we are thinking too much of commercialising to be thinking of a real nice story,or are we simply too filled with thoughts to come up with something that can happen to anybody at any time?How I wish that I can find it out.The feeling of the future of television is something that is really making me think of what is the world gonna be like in the future.Give us a clue as to how simple or complicated life really is.....
