Samurai Kasan (2021)

。。オカン。。

..at first I thought, it was a gay act as a mother but no, you must see that character as a woman, as a mother..
.
..I do enjoy the each episodes, so funny scripts and acts..
.
..but like on my post on my comment section, I see this Takeshi-guy, a lack of acting - I just found his facial expression doesn't match the feeling I am expecting through the script and act itself, but as the episodes go, I found a some changes or improvement..
.
..though funny, it also teaches us so to show love and respect on our mother, well not only for them but for our father too - everyone involve in our home, since being a teen ager changes a lot, not only the appearance but more on our characters on how we treat people around us..
.
..yet, I hope they will make another story of this - I really love this. . .the staffs behind are genius on making funny scenes for the audience..

an extremely light-hearted and enjoyable drama

As my title says, this drama is really light-hearted and enjoyable.

Similar to most Japanese dramas, each episode is a story on its own, so there is no need to refer or recall what happened in the last episode or the past episodes.

Also there are only 10 episodes and each episode is a mere 23 minutes on average, extremely easy to complete. It's good if u want to watch a short drama with short running time per episode and just enjoy a good laugh.

The main thing why this drama is enjoyable to me is the mother, yes, the one in the white apron in the profile pic. Her body language, reactions, the things she does, are all of the exaggerated sort, but not to the extent of being irritating. Rather, they are exaggerated but comical. So watching her is really entertaining. and a good de-stressor. Just try one episode and decide whether you like the mother or not to continue watching because the entire drama is mainly about her. By the way, she's actually a male! I think it's common for male comedians to cross-dress as females and act like middle-aged aunties in Japanese dramas.

I guess the drama title 'samurai kaasan', means a mother who serves her family. or quite rather, her son, especially. This is because 'samurai' is basically translated as 'one who serves and attends' and 'kaasan' means mother.

I hope this drama has a second series. I will look forward to watching it if it has.
