Ai no Nai Koibitotachi

Literally the BEST DRAMA I've watched this year!!! Sooo engaging, no boring moments! I love how they integrated the concepts of lasting friendships, love-based marriage, united family ties, meaningful work, gender equality, sexual harassment, family dysfunctions, digital tools, technology, and so much MORE. The dialogues are so updated and relatable. I love the ending for the three friends, especially for Kume and Erika. I was so nervous that they'd go to the usual Japanese route of safe, sad, neutral, unexpected ending. This drama has the beautiful, romantic closure I was hoping for. More of this type of drama, PLEASE!!!!!!! The writer is so fabulously talented.
