I found this profoundly moving and beautiful. Fascinated by the dramatic gender and age difference in the reviews. Could this have to do with our American men's discomfort with the Japanese art of Kabuki - specifically the cross-dressing? Or maybe the inexperience of the young with the suffering of grief? A shame, because the performance itself is sublime.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
