| Morino Hotaru (Otomo Karen) is a second year high school student who has had an unrequited crush on Otaka Ren (Kai Shoma) since junior high school. One day, while on a school trip with Ren and her good friend Yamamoto Shiori (Kita Noa), their bus gets into an accident. When Hotaru wakes up, she is told by Kuro (Koseki Yuta) who is dressed fully in black, “I’m your guide. Morino Hotaru, listen carefully. You are dead.” Hotaru learns that if she does not get over her attachment to three things within 49 days, she will end up becoming a ghost bound to a specific physical location. And so, Hotaru sets out to settle the three lingering regrets with the limited time she has, in the company of Kuro. | | JDrama Weblog |

[Currently - Jan 2021 - available on Viki as "When One Day I Will Sleep"] This one is a case of a drama with two strikes against it: A gloomy, morbid subject and at six episodes it's too short to allow depth.
"Itsuka" reminds me of another drama with a morbid theme, "Loss : Time : Life" - in that it deals with someone who has died being given "extended time" to tie up loose ends.
In addition to being morbid, it's also deterministic: the main character's ultimate death is inevitable, so she's riding on borrowed time for the duration. The whole setup is gloomy from the outset, and there's not a whole lot that happens in this story to counteract that gloom. It's mostly a melodrama that's partly light-hearted slice-of-life and partly tear-jerker. The problem is that it doesn't really excel in either case. The acting is excellent of course, but the story just isn't very good.
It was interesting enough to carry me through six episodes, but I can't say it was worth the trip. |
