Much of that was down to Ms Hashida's skilled writing. She was known for her sharp observations about household life in the numerous family TV dramas she penned, especially when it came to female relationships.
Oshin's story arc as a working woman also echoed Ms Hashida's own journey. After WW2, she joined a major film studio as a scriptwriter, but quit when the company tried to turn her into a secretary. She eventually succeeded as a TV scriptwriter after years of rejections. In Thailand, cabinet meetings were reportedly rescheduled so that they did not clash with the broadcast of episodes. A Bangkok newspaper also saw its circulation go up by 70% after publishing a weekly synopsis of the show.
Pity we can't find a Chinese woman to do the same. But NO!........ America will always be the egalitarian and authoritative source of what constitutes the only real and true culture of the human race. Every other culture is a threat to humanity and is wrong.🤷🏾♀️
I loved that show, I shed so many tears over her hardships😭😭😭
wow
