There are thousands of film and television works, but "love" seems to be the eternal theme of most film and television works.
Indeed, whether it is family, friendship or love, these emotions run through each and every one of us.
Therefore, such stories always resonate with us.
The drama we want to talk about today is a story related to "love".
However, it is a little different from other "love" stories.
The name of the play is called —
《#家族募集》
I believe that the sharp-eyed friends have found that this drama has some unique in the title of the play - there is a "#" in the title!
It all starts with the story itself.
Toshihei Akagi (Daiki Shigeoka) originally had a happy family.
However, his wife died 3 months ago due to an accident, which made him suddenly a single father, who had to live alone with his five-year-old son, Xiaoyang.
This makes Junping's life busy and difficult.
Every morning, I rode my child to the kindergarten and hurried to the company.
The lunch box at noon can only be leftovers that have not been eaten the night before, and the bedtime reading materials for children at night are always tired.
While Toshihito Akagi can't find a solution to life's dilemmas, he accidentally meets his childhood friend, Sosuke Koyamauchi (Taiga Nakano).
Sosuke is now working at a Osaka-yaki shop, and he is also looking for some tenants, hoping to rent a few empty rooms on the second floor of the Osaka-yakitori shop to increase his income.
After learning about Junping's recent situation, Cangsuke suddenly had a chance to move, feeling that his current needs and Junping's predicament could be well combined.
That is to recruit some single fathers or mothers in the same situation as Junping online and let them rent an empty room on the second floor.
In this way, the concept of custodial institutions and shared housing can be combined, and everyone can take care of each other and live together.
Shunpei felt that the matter was not very reliable, but Cangsuke said that he would do it, and immediately posted information on the Internet to recruit tenants or hosting customers.
At this point, the title of the story appears.
Sosuke created a topic online – #家族募集.
It was actually done!
Soon after, Asuke received a call and was contacted by the first hosting client.
This is a single mother named Momota Rei (Played by Fumino Kimura).
Because there are urgent matters at work that she needs to deal with, Li must find a place to take care of her daughter.
When looking for this kind of similar resource on the Internet, Rei happened to see the information posted by Sosuke.
Although she will also be suspicious, there is really no way to etiquette, so she can only put her daughter here in Cangsuke to deal with work matters.
Cangsuke had no experience with children, so he immediately called Junping and asked Junping to bring Xiaoyang over to help him complete this first custody business.
To everyone's surprise, this single business was completed particularly smoothly, and Xiaoyang and Li's daughter soon got together.
This also made Junping realize that perhaps Cangsuke's seemingly ridiculous idea might really be feasible.
It is precisely because of this good start that this matter really goes on.
The empty room on the second floor of the Osaka yakitori shop was also completely formed with the last mother and son.
Three single-parent families plus Cangsuke, four adults with three children, support each other, accompany each other, so that the original hopeless life, re-stained with a warm color.
After "#家族募集" was launched in July this year, the current rating on Douban has a higher score of 8.0 points, and the evaluation of netizens is also quite good.
Among these evaluations, one of the most common keywords is " warmth" - "warmth".
Indeed, this is a very warm story.
In fact, whether in Japan or other countries, single-parent families are already a very common pattern of family composition.
Whether it is a single father or a mother, it is a very difficult thing to carry a child alone.
This kind of difficulty is not only the practical difficulty faced in life, but also the loneliness and anxiety on the spiritual level.
Just like Junping in the play, he can't bear to tell the five-year-old child the real reason why his mother is not around.
He weaves a fairy tale for the child and tells him that his mother turned into a warrior to save the world.
The child listened with joy and was proud of his mother, but the bitterness behind this was only borne by Junping alone.
However, the recruitment of such a family seems to bring a new hope to all single-parent families.
It turns out that the way to save loneliness does not necessarily require a new marriage, nor does it necessarily require the help of other family members.
Strangers facing the same predicament, gathered together, are equally powerful and full of warmth.
In most people's general understanding, the family always seems to be closely related to blood, and when we solve family problems, we seem to subconsciously look for members within the family.
But "#家族募集" obviously explores the definition of family, about love, from a completely new perspective.
Three single-parent families, unrelated by blood, living together, collide with sparks that exceed everyone's imagination.
Adults share their share with each other, each doing what they do best.
Some people are responsible for making food for children, some people are responsible for telling stories to children, some people are responsible for homework...
And children, because they have partners, do not have to immerse themselves in loneliness, but also make up for the lack of another parent.
Who can not be moved by such mutual companionship and support?
What is home?
Cangsuke said: Everyone can cry together, laugh together, and share their feelings with everyone.
Is loneliness scary? Maybe it's scary.
But what if you give it a try? Perhaps, there are many ways to crack loneliness...
