When I Laugh

The story begins in Osaka in 1937, with Juzaburo Suzuki (Yoshihiko Inohara) (played by Aya Ueto) is a teaching assistant at Osaka University of Science. He has been married to his wife Makoto (played by Aya Ueto) for 10 years, but they have no children because Makoto is infertile. However, this does not bother the couple and their relationship remains very loving. However, Chengzi always wanted to feel what it was like to be a mother, so she planned to go to an orphanage to adopt a child there. Faced with Seiko's decision, Juzaburo hesitated for the first time about the choice of his wife, because deep down in his heart, he was actually not ready to become a father. Finally, a child named Kota (played by Yanashita Akagawa) came to Suzuki's home. At first, Juzaburo was completely unable to adapt to Kota's appearance, but gradually, his sense of responsibility as a father put his relationship with Kota on the right track.
