Recap - Massan Week 2, Ep 7

Massan

Week 2: "Bad luck often brings good luck"

Episode 7 (10/6/2014)

Sorry for taking time to post this episode's recap. We have had a typhoon blow through the country causing NHK to change their broadcast schedule so I wasn't able to watch the show until this evening. We had a lot happen in this episode as Massan and Ellie head to Osaka to Massan's previous workplace.

Episode 5 (10/3/2014)

This was a pretty emotional episode where almost the entire family shed tears as some point. We also saw a slightly different side of Massan's mother toward the end of the episode.

Episode 4 (10/2/2014)

I feel really sad for Ellie today. She went through some pretty harsh scenes in this episode! But I must say that for all that she has been going through these past few episodes, she sure handles everything with grace!

Today Massan’s father was introduced and we got to see a little bit of his background story. Ellie is also hard at work (literally) in order to show Massan's mother that she can be a good wife to Massan.

Episode 2 (9/30/2014)

Today's episode focused mainly on the background story to Massan and Ellie's relationship and how they met. We also got a glimpse of what Ellie had to sacrifice in order to come to Japan with Massan. So far things are moving at a nice slow pace which is to be expected for a 150 episode show.

Episode #1 (aired 09-29-2014)

Massan premiered today on NHK and it looks like it's going to be one of my favorite "asadoras" so far! The relationship between Massan and Ellie is undeniably cute and we can see that they are definitely in the "honeymoon" phase at this point in the story. I look forward to the next 149 episodes to see how they can persevere through all the hardships to come!
