Ishihara Satomi and Fukushi Sota Team Up for TBS Summer J-dorama Heaven?: Gokuraku Resutoran

Three people dressed formally, smiling together.

I feel myself hungry for a new J-dorama and the dish I select is the manga adapted Heaven?:Gokuraku Resutoran (Heaven?: My Restaurant, My Life) thanks to the star casting of leads I love Ishihara Satomi and Fukushi Sota. She’s delightfully animated and he’s gorgeously deadpan, and in this story their character personalities even mirror their acting styles, lol. It’s about a kooky girl who rounds up a motley crew to open a French restaurant in a cemetery space and it goes about as well as you expect, but perhaps exactly as she expected. It’s based on the same name manga from the early 2000s and the first episode got over 10% ratings nationwide which isn’t bad. My summer could be a lot worse than enjoying good food and wine and staring at Satomi/Sota together onscreen.

I haven’t watched this drama, but I just watched the drama your turn to kill and a house on the slope, and I think there are many good Japanese dramas but the subtitles are not as fast as Korean dramas, so I think I have to wait patiently.

I turn full mode on in to dorama. So many good dorama with wide theme. I’ll check this one too. Love Satomi.
Recently I really like In Hand, yamapi still dead fish eyed yamapi but the story about parasitician is interesting.
