      Just from the 1st episode, I don’t see how I can binge it. The once a week is enough for me so I can recoup my feelings :).

    @larelle79: Thank you for your post. I adore it in such a visceral way and it just happened so quickly even if the first 2 eps are wonderfully poignant. The acting of the two main leads is exemplary. Meguro Ren’s acting is something to behold. They way he expressed his grief without overacting or shedding fake induced tears was heart rending. As was Kawaguchi Haruna’s. I hope it will deal sensitively with the world of deaf people who don’t want to be pitied and should not be, his personal grief notwithstanding. I honestly cannot wait to see more of this series. Let’s unite and recommend it to any and all Beanies!

      @larelle79 it sounds like this could be the equivalent of Love between fairy and devil which was promoted hard in fan wall posts and the what we are watching each week by several beanies. As that is the key place for beanies to learn about must watch dramas having more than one person mentioning it there will be key. If the beanie whose wife is all over the Chinese historical shows becomes interested that will help as well as he is quite good and flagging up shows consistently. Good luck with your mission and thanks both of you for flagging up what sounds like a hidden gem.

      Emma, the ending of episode 2 just tore me up. All the years of pent up emotions from Sakara (and yes, Meguro Ren was amazing in the episodes, but particularly that scene. That is the one that needs to be submitted for all the awards).

      Episode 2 was still the same. Yeah, hearts will be broken by all in this series, including the viewers. Here is hoping that the towards to end of the run, healing will be next because there are no horrible people that were introduced and all deserve the moon and happiness.

    @larelle79: “Silent” only has one episode a week and only 11 eps! That is too short a run for this gem of a drama!
