Reviews
A Love That Travels Through Generations
Firstly, if you are looking for a drama that only focuses on a romantic relationship between women, then this drama is probably not for you. Of course it dives into their relationship about how Sakura had a crush on Mone during their student days, but it focuses more towards the son and him discovering more about his mother.I personally don’t mind drama’s like these, but just like any other Japanese drama, I think this is just too short. I feel like there’s still a bit more to explore but some things get cut because of the lack of time/episodes. There weren’t any toxic characters, I really enjoyed that. But I wasn’t a big fan of Mone.
There is no lesbian romance, but it was still nice to see a main lesbian character. Sakura went through a lot of emotions watching someone she loved get married (to a man), then later on had a one night stand which got her pregnant. Instead of facing more harsh issues, she was able to raise her son as a single mother and had a decent amount of support. Of course like any other child, Toki was really curious about his father and wanted to know more about his mom (and her childhood). It was refreshing to see her son not react so harshly and to see some variety of sexualites too. I think they did a good job diving into issues some single moms might have, especially if they’re hiding such a big secret like their sexuality. I think the drama was pretty light hearted, yeah there were so sad scenes but no major angst!
I don’t think I would watch this drama again, but I don’t regret watching it either. If they were to randomly announce another season, I would give it a chance.
Is it a happy ending? Not for the first generation (Sakura) lol
