The plot has a familiar theme we've seen in the Hollywood movies and TV shows for a long time, but it's very well integrated into a aging rural society in japan which is the highest selling point here. I've seen a video from a japanese youtuber showing his experience of moving to a remote town in japan. At first those outsiders were welcomed, but soon after they found out that they had to follow so many of town's own rules, and they were being monitored. If they broke one of the rules, somebody in town would correct them. They couldn't bear those things any more, and eventually moved out of the town after living for a couple of years. This is a real thing happened and happening right now. So it's very interesting to see this show after hearing about what's really happening in japan. I've seen a fair share of Jdramas, and never seen a Jdrama like this. It's very unusual Jdrama and a great one at that. The only downside - though it's critical - is SFX. The CGI is really bad. It's below average especially with animals. It's probably related to budget, but still I can't understand why they adapted such a disappointing quality of CGI which distracts a lot from viewing experience. Other than that, being thirst for a new episode every week.
