haken no hinkaku
i haven't watched japanese dramas in a while. watching haken no hinkaku, a drama about temporary workers, which we will probably become in less than 24 hours' time, really makes me wonder why.
i guess japanese dramas are sometimes a good societal barometer, highlighting current issues, social trends as well as problems. haken no hinkaku is a good example, highlighting the current trend of an ever increasing number of contract workers in japan, and the conflicts between part-timers and full-timers that may arise. At the same time, it also shares some insights on living and working, which may come in useful in future, as some sort of reference.
i certainly enjoyed it very much: the blunt nature of oomae haruko(ryoko shinohara), the bonds between the workers in the marketing division, the spanish cafe which haruko calls home, the endless quarrels between shouji and haruko, the glimpse into office life and nakashima mika's mienai hoshi, the theme song.
but the number one reason to watch it is probably ai katou as mori miyuki(mori-chan, mori-kun). she is like an Autumn/Winter Fashion Show. Way too stylish. now, i know what it feels like to be styled to death again.
if you run away once, you will be running away for the rest of your life.
you just need to walk your own path. don't lie to yourself, take out your courage and look ahead.
