If you want to cry every episode of a series, this is for you.
HONEST REVIEW: I literally cried in every episode in this drama. Like, I have never done that before! Although yes, this is not the most heartbreaking, tear-jerking drama I have ever seen but - I'm utterly speechless for this. Honestly, I didn't like Japanese drama that much before because their acting feels fake (just for me for the dramas I have watched, not generalizing) but this, I felt like I was watching it live. I have so many things to say. At first, I was confused about who will she end up with because even though it's a shoujo manga typical plot of love triangle, they keep confusing the viewers, including me. Everytime someone cries, I also cry. IT JUST FELT SO REAL. I'm telling you, I have never been grateful in my whole life that I am blessed with a normal life. This drama made me feel things. It even inspired me to learn sign language. In conclusion, I can say that this is my most liked Jdrama so far. I love them TTWas this review helpful to you?
Não me prendeu!
Me peguei assistindo depois de ver o clássico Tell me that you love me, por ter uma temática onde umas das partes perdia a audição.Havia lido algumas críticas positivas, contudo o enredo não me prendeu. Eu achei muito cansativo, pra falar a verdade. Não gostei muito da atitude do prota, sei que ele estava passando por um momento delicado na vida, mas ele tinha que ter deixado ela escolher como eles iriam manter o relacionamento, e não ter decidido tudo sozinho. Achei isso egoista da parte dele. E mesmo depois de tudo isso ela decide se aproximar dele, se integrando a sua nova forma de se comunicar.
Fiquei supresa quanto ao amigo dele e o que se tornou depois namorado da Prota, por um momento, mesmo a amando ele sabia que o amor dela não era completo com ele. Então decidiu não pressiona-la, fazendo com que ela perseguisse o Prota sem qualquer culpa.
Acredito que a história poderia ter sido melhor. Não me atraiu muito.

calming and realistic
Recently been into the calmer and day-to-day life genre and this drama was exactly that. The plot doesn't have a lot going on, the frame of time takes place within the span of a few months. Overall the drama felt therapeutic for me, it was comforting although I did shed a few tears along the way in some episodes.Plot is mainly about how the ML (who became deaf) reconnects with people of his past and there's a lot of complicated factors and barriers that each character needs to overcome. I liked all the characters, there's no one really to dislike, however, I don't think that Minato's reason in breaking up with Aoba was reasonable ._. they were honestly a pretty good pair already but anyways~ I'd recommend this series. Acting 10/10 and soundtrack 10/10 as well :)

It was very special and beautifulOne of those series that you drown in, full of feelings, love, friendship, life
The theme of the series was wonderful, very beautiful
It was very valuable. Personally, I have not seen a series whose main theme is this. You can never understand all the problems of these loved ones, but the fact that we see a corner of their difficulties gives us a better understanding and knowledge of them.
Spoiler
I loved the sequences where they talked to each other in absolute silence, it felt very special. In most of the scenes, soft music with sign language was played, but the places where this music was not present had a very strange feeling and were more beautiful. The only thing that made it less realistic in my opinion was Minato's method. And Tsumugi ended the relationship, I can understand that Minato ended the relationship because of his two friends, but I can't accept that Tsumugi left with Sakura immediately after his cut.It would make sense if she had no feelings for Minato, but as she said in the dialogue, she loved Minato too. No matter how much he loved Sue, he couldn't forget someone he loved so easily in one day. I think it would be better if there was some time between the breakup and the new relationship.
Of course, I say that this series was so special and meaningful that you can ignore this problem. I loved the character of the sign language teacher. His relationship with Nana was very beautiful. Nana was also very nice.
The games were also very beautiful, especially the role of Sakura, she conveyed her emotions beautifully, whether she was happy or sad, or when she wanted to understand what she meant to others.
I hope more series will be made with these topics

Poor emotions from the freezer.
Quite without discussion of the whole misery here are some small remarks. Sorry for everything:In a pub, Momono Nan insults Togawa, whom she barely knows, as an idiot and a fool. In episode 10, she insolently and impudently interferes in his private relationship affairs. Then she explains what he has done wrong.
Is it permissible in Japan to interfere in other people's affairs in such an insulting way and leave the restaurant without a black eye? Or is this the inspiration of incompetent writers? Here, in the West, at least many would advise her to mind her own business.
But the embarrassing relativization of the inexcusable impudence follows immediately, of course. All in good fun, right? And thanks for the fish.
Enough grumbling, by the way, I don't want to discourage anyone from watching a moderately exciting, often slow-motion film. The romances are also unexciting. Somehow the young people are always terribly sad and depressed. Have fun, one wants to shout at them, party, make love and let the good times roll!
And we learn that a disability, which is relatively easy to integrate into everyday life, seems to be a huge problem in Japan.

Profound, Sublime and Saudade!
I admit I am not frequent JP drama watcher in fact I have mostly watched my eternal love Haruma’s series only. But I was looking for a JP series that could beat my heart. And Silent did that. When I saw the trailer, it skipped my heart.Silent for me hit the most as it has the elements I want to watch, happiness, nostalgia, innocence, cry, tears, love, longing, sacrifice, and then love again. I am only in the beginning of the series, and we all know how the journey is going to be for ten weeks.
The leads are magical, their connection and chemistry are instant and electrifying. The separation and sacrifice are enough to move you in tears and sadness.
The plot is simple, nothing difficult, it entails a story of school sweethearts who are separated for years when a boy breaks the heart of a girl, he loves to death and disappear. But then as fate would have it, she meets her first love again and now moved on with her marriage happening anytime soon to one of their common friends, she discovered a heart breaking and life changing truth behind his departure and everything changes from that moment forward.
The cinematography, the classic JP style of yellow-hue colouring, editing, music and filming is poignant, sublime filled with sheer nostalgia.
The acting is what takes the cake, super calm, authentic and very warm. Both leads, are very subtle in their dialogue delivery and has embodied their character perfectly. First episode was enough for me to decide that quality is not going to drop and will never change.
I moved to tears with scenes that weren’t even sad, because each action of boy had sadness in it, his love for her was so strong that leaving her made it easy. Although leaving is never easy but you have to be strong enough to sacrifice when you know nothing good will come if you continue, but in doing so the only mistake a person does is that they decide for the other person also, they don’t ask their opinion and leave them hanging behind without any explanation.
Leaving someone for the sake of their happiness has never benefited the person who is left behind. It is not an act of selflessness, it is in fact a punishment bestowed on a person who is oblivious to why they are left behind.
I am hoping for a happy end, but the journey to whatever end has been written is profound, sublime and saudade.

Un drama au rythme lent, facile à suivre
Un synopsis intéressant. Le thème abordé est traité avec sensibilité et avec beaucoup de poésie. Le visuel est joli et le jeu d'acteur convaincant. L'ambiance tend vers une certaine plénitude bien que certaines scènes nous montre la douleur et les incertitudes des protagonistes. Le contraste entre les scènes où le bruit tranche avec le silence des conversations en langage des signes est parlant et nous permet de comprendre le fossé qui s'est creusé entre les personnages.Les points négatifs ne m'ont pas empêché de finir ce drama en quelques jours, car malgré tout, je l'ai trouvé bien fait.
Les points qui peuvent rebuter certain :
- Le classique "je te quitte pour ton bien". Nul besoin que je m'étende sur ce sujet....
- La romance, somme toute mignonne, mais avouons le, dénuée de passion. J'aurai aimé, peut-être un peu plus de passion, plus de battement de coeur... Ici, l'impression qui a dominé fut plutôt deux amis super proches avec en bonus une grande affinité.
- Bien que l'emphase soit mise sur l'amitié, et j'avoue que la relation entre So et Minato a été agréable à suivre, j'ai un peu de mal avec le protagoniste qui sort avec la petite amie de son best pote, pour au final rompre avec elle et la rendre à son best pote.
- Le rythme lent du drama.
- C'est personnel, mais je n'ai pas trouvé les personnages secondaires intéressants.
C'est donc un drama que j'ai trouvé assez agréable à suivre, mais que j'ai regardé parfois en accéléré.

Beautiful
"As pessoas tem sua maneira de pensar e seus caminhos de vida. É inevitável que não consigamos entender completamente um ao outro. Mesmo assim, acho que as palavras existem para que você possa se agarrar a alguém que você gostaria de estar."Um dorama sobre amor e palavras, a fala não é o único meio de transmitir palavras, é possível pela escrita, pelas mãos e até mesmo pela arte. As vezes nós pensamos de uma maneira limitada, e precisamos que outras pessoas nos mostrem outro ponto de vista. A conecção e evolução dos personagens foi gradual e lindo de se ver. Todos me conquistaram de uma maneira, que me fez querer ter amizades assim. Um jdrama lindo, que trás muitas lições que levarei para minha vida!
Amei a trilha sonora, e como também eles deixavam tudo em silêncio focando somente nos sentimentos transmitidos ali! Atuação incrível merecedor de prêmios!

La forme des mots
Ce qui est frappant dans la diffusion des dramas, c'est le respect de la saisonnalité. Et cela, jusqu'à diffuser le dernier épisode d'une série à succès se terminant à Noël…, le soir de Noël. Silent ne déroge pas à la règle et si vous n'en pouvez plus de ses dramas romantiques au long cours où le dénouement est inscrit dès le premier épisode dans le regard de nos héros, vous pourriez passer votre chemin. Mais vous feriez l'impasse sur un petit bijou de sensibilité et surtout sur une tentative de faire comprendre le monde du silence à notre monde très, voir trop bruyant.Autant le dire tout de suite, vous ne serez pas scotchés par des révélations à chaque épisode, et cela, malgré les flashbacks incessants. Mais loin d'en abuser, la mise en scène montre, de manière subtile, le parallélisme entre les scènes du présent, de protagonistes adultes et vaccinés, et les moments ultra school life de leurs années lycées. On nous rappelle continuellement à quel point nos amoureux ou leurs amis étaient proches afin de renforcer l'émotion dans les scènes actuelles. Et ça marche. Que ce soit le jeu des acteurs, avec Kawaguchi Haruna au regard pénétrant ou Meguro Ren au regard fuyant, ou la mise en scène qui fait l'éloge de la lenteur et du non-dit (c'est le cas de le dire), rien ne vous laissera insensible.
Les tentatives de mettre en avant le handicap dans les dramas sont louables et ont été longtemps maladroites. Mais depuis Perfect World et ses nombreuses adaptations, j'ai l'impression de comprendre un peu mieux comment vie une personne dans un monde fait pour les "valides". Impression seulement. Car au fur à mesure des épisodes, je me surprends encore à dire, "ah ben, je n'y avais pas pensé, c'est horrible". Ne plus entendre, alors que l'on est un fan inconditionnel de musique, comme moi (de Spitz en plus), ne plus entendre alors qu'on vit les moments les plus importants de sa vie, en groupe, dans le sport (ça, ce n'est pas comme moi, mais je peux comprendre) coupent non seulement la communication, mais aussi et surtout les liens forgés. Ne plus entendre la voix de sa bien-aimée, ne plus s'en souvenir. C'est la double peine. La perte de son ancienne vie
Loin de dire que c'est pire de perdre l'ouïe quand on a déjà entendu, on comprend quand même que c'est bien plus qu'un sens que l'on perd. Mais la galerie de personnages qui intervient relativise aussi ce drame. Je pense à L'actrice Kaho, que je regrette toujours de ne pas voir plus souvent, et qui ici démontre encore tous ses talents en arrivant à nous émouvoir et à nous faire rire sans un mot prononcé. Elle nous rappelle que même affublé du même handicap, il n'est pas simple de se comprendre. Et c'est la justification des 11 épisodes qui apparait ici. La vie et les sentiments d'une personne née sourde, d'une personne devenue sourde à 20 ans, d'une personne entendante et même d'une personne entendante et parlant parfaitement la langue des signes sont si différents qu'il est quasi impossible de se comprendre et de s'aimer. Chaque épisode essaye donc de se concentrer sur le passé et le présent d'un personnage. Sur ses renoncements, qui peuvent parfois énerver, tournant trop souvent autour du : " je me sacrifie pour ton bonheur", mais qui me touchèrent souvent… Ou énervé avec ce machisme qui revient toujours insidieusement, ("elle est pour toi X non, non, elle est pour toi"). Les clichés ont la vie dur, même pour Cyrano. Dans ce sens, le personnage interprèté par Kaho est salvateur de réalisme par les sentiments de jalousie qu'elle dégage.
L'utilisation de la langue des signes dans 25 % des dialogues pourra rebuter, mais je n'y crois pas vraiment. Non contente d'être parfaitement interprété par nos acteurs, elle apporte réellement quelque chose en plus. De la sincérité, bien sûr. Un certain calme même si les mots peuvent être violents. Je n'y comprends pas grand-chose et pourtant, ce n'est pas faute d'avoir voulu m'y mettre, après les nombreux visionnages de Silent Voice. Mais ces dialogues m'envoutent et me transportent. J'aimerais pouvoir les comprendre sans lire les Subtitles. Les mots prennent une telle place dans cette série et du coup ce n'est pas que le fait de ne pas comprendre la langue des signes qui frustre, mais aussi de ne pas comprendre parfaitement le japonais.
Heureusement, la musique vous transporte et atténue un peu cette frustration récurrente de tout dramavore. La BO, bien choisie, même si on a du mal à se souvenir des thèmes, revient immédiatement en tête à la première note. Évidement, j'aurais tellement aimé un inédit de Spitz en Ending, mais ç'aurait fait too much. Les ultra-récompensés Official Hige Dandism ferme évidement avec brio chaque épisode. Accompagnant ses torrents de larme qui inonde l'écran. Mais, sans honte, j'avoue être dans le même état à ce moment. Donc les mots deviennent inutiles.
