4/3 Listening

This weekend, my friends and I binge-watched Buddy Daddies. This was a great watch! It was comedic, action packed, dramatic, sad, and adorable all at the same time! The story revolves around two assassins, Kazuki and Rei, and their adopted daughter Miri. On the night they were assigned to some man, Miri was there and the man they killed was her biological father, but he didn't want her because she was born from his mistress. Kazuki and Rei ended up taking her in and tried to return her to her mother, but she didn't want her either since she felt Miri ruined her singing career. They ended up raising Miri and came to love her as their own as they faced many hardships along the way. By the end, they quit being assassins and opened a diner in order for Miri to grow up normally. Look how cute they are!

I really loved the dynamic between all of them. Kazuki, the blond one, was a womanizer and as an assassin, he didn't do the action stuff and more of the information and infiltration stuff. But with Miri, he was always doing the cooking and cleaning, and was super emotional and protective of her. Rei, the black haired one, was a homebody who was obsessed with video games, but was a very skilled assassin who did most of the killing. But with Miri, he was a quiet supporter and was often childish with her when Kazuki was around. Miri was just a ball of sunshine! Constantly laughing and making trouble for Kazuki and Rei, but was a very caring and understanding child. I feel this picture represents their personalities to a T😂!

This show had a lot of components from Chapter 10 because it was family based. So 家族, 両親, 子供, etc. showed up a lot. Miri referred to Kazuki and Rei as Papa and her mom as Mama instead of 父 and 母. But the dialogue between Kazuki and Miri was easy to follow because he was slower and broke down words to teach her, so it felt like I was learning along with her.
