Synopsis
The 31st NHK Asadora Drama is Oshin.
Oshin tells the story of a girl born into a very poor rural family in Japan, who through hard work and perseverance eventually triumphs over pain and adversity to achieve fame and success.
Broadcast in the early 1980s when Japan had finally cast off the legacy of the post-war years and the Japanese were beginning to reap the benefits of economic development, the aim of the story was to recall the hardships the older generation had endured in order to pave the way for their children. Viewers were drawn to the suffering of the main character Oshin - and then drew similarities between her story and their own home lives.

My 1st dorama..wonderful & gorgeus!!
A classic
10 / 10jdoramadotcom · 2009
Oshin pushes beyond "classic" into the realm of "phenomenon." This story of a woman's life from poor child to prominence captures Japan as it moves through series of trials that always seem intimate and, very often, melancholy.
It originally aired in 297 episodes over the period of one year. No Japanese drama has approached Oshin in terms of its world popularity. It grabs you and won't let go.
