So in episode 1, it seemed like Soshite Ikiru was going to be about two people who met at the scene of a great disaster who also happened to orphans who feel a great debt to their adopted family.
Everything was great, acting was great and the only thing that gave me pause was Arimura Kasumi playing this jimoto idoru wanting to be an actress.
That kind of role is usually reserved for female idorus when they act in jdoramas for various reasons. For male idorus its usually dancer.
I kept wondering why the writer chose this dream for Arimura Kasumi's character because any another job would be ok.
The the twist happens and we find out not only will Arimura Kasumi's character sacrifice her dream, she will not tell the dad who she barely dated.
Right now, I am not particularly invested in her character or her predicament because of her choice.
I guess there would be no story if she aborted but I don't feel the desire to continue especially with their relationship which hardly started. Maybe it gets better in episode 3 but meh.
