Gentle time.
Wakui Yukichi worked at a company where he travels to New York and other cities. But a tradegy occurred; his wife passed away from a car accident. He quits his job and opens a coffee shop in Hokkaido, his wife’s hometown, fulfilling his wife’s wish.
His son, Takuro, caused the car accident. Takuro is afraid that his father won’t forgive him. He has been secretly working to be a pottery maker at a place near where his father’s coffee shop is.
The father and the son haven’t talked to each other since that accident. One day, Takuro encounters a girl, Minagawa Azusa, who turns out to be a newcomer waitress at the coffee shop..
Coffee shop + winter = a quiet atmosphere. It’s nice to lower the volume when watching the drama, for a better atmosphere. But it gets me sleepy XD
The father may be angry at Takuro for causing the accident but he actually wants to see him again. He has a gloomy and lonely aura around him. But he’s a friendly and kind person. He helps people solve their problems. Regular customers at his shop are more like friends to him. He rarely talk about his past though.
The coffee shop is unique. Customers can grind bean on their own, to get fresh coffee. It’s a bit weird but it’s well received. Different customers come into the shop, each holding different stories. Sometimes, there are gossips/rumors spread around these people.
Takuro belongs to a race car gang prior to the accident. He is an obedient and gentle person. He wants to get back with his father but is afraid that he won’t forgive him. It’s cool that he does pottery. We get to see Nino doing things with his hands ^.^ I love seeing him like that. His hands are skillful.
Nakagawa Masami plays the new employee, Azu. Azu is a clumsy girl. She always breaks dishes at the shop. She has a tradgic past, which leads to a diagnoise of hysteria. She’s a kind person. She tries to do what is right and fair. But there are times when things doesn’t go the way she likes..
Ooo, Nagayan appears in one episode. He had more screen time than I thought..
I’m not into this kind of drama…but Yasashii Jikan can be quite addicting…for some reason.. Hm..I like seeing the snow XD
