梅ちゃん先生
Ume-chan Sensei/Dr.Ume

* Must watch previous episodes in order to understand episodes/approx. 15minutes per episode*

Set in the late 60's, during the "Showa" era. A story of a woman named Umeko who becomes a doctor following his father. Human drama between her and her family as well as the entire neighborhood. Heart warming and nostalgic, especially for those who lived in that era. Some parts of Japanese culture has changed therefore, do not think that this is the way Japan is now... 

     With these few episodes, Umeko and her husband Nobu face several issues within the family. Eventually, they are able to solve everything but these few episodes there is a lot more human drama involved than usual. It's interesting because you can see the different views of people in that time period. In these few episodes, some families slowly begin to get TV's. Of course, during this time, the videos are black and white, but the joy it brings to people is amazing. Nowadays, when Apple comes out with a renewed product, there isn't a lot of excitement behind it, people just get the new version, but here, you can see how technology lightened up people's lives.
