Zeni no Sensou 銭の戦争 (2015)

Unfortunately, the only reason why I watched this show was purely because of SMAP’s 草彅剛. And the turnaway would have been Oshima Yuko.

This show started with a good message: do not borrow but it also brings across another message that money lending and borrowing is a necessary business. In any case, I hope this show helps to bring across that one should always think about the possible consequences and the burden that you may put on your family if you borrow. For that I recommend this show. Due to problems accessing the show, it took me a while to continue the show having stopped mid-way. I might not be giving due justice to the show…

I’m Home アイムホーム (2015)

Just finished watching SMAP 木村拓哉’s latest drama, I’m Home. Given that I am partly biased, I will recommend this show.

Story’s about an ambitious but good-hearted man, Ieji Hisashi’s journey to recover his memory after an accident. He learns about his past self, recovering from a heartless man to who he should have been, uncovering his true inner self of one who was in fact self-less and loves his wife very much.

This show was generally quite intriguing, mysterious and gripping enough to want to watch on and learn about what actually happened. Makes one think if we are fighting too hard to earn money where at the end of the day, what are most important are your family and your own conscience. The ending was somewhat unsurprising though, maybe slightly on the anti-climatic side.
