The cast all had great acting, especially Kiyo. They chose a good actress to play her, she carried the show. The bright and lighthearted spirit of Kiyo can’t be acted, it has to come from within to feel natural. All the cast did really well. Even from when I started watching at the first few episodes, I noticed that it felt so real, more natural that a reality show. I even wondered if they had a script, or was just given a general flow to improvise on. Because most of the dialogue felt like ad lib. It was just that natural. I’ve only read a bit of the manga and watched a bit of the anime, but I think this Netflix adaptation captured really well that bright, light, slice of life feeling of the original. “It’s not glorifying real life. We want to show that real life is beautiful as is.” -Nana Mori, who plays Kiyo

I'd definitely buy it.

Thank you very much to the Japanese filming team, from the director, script, to the actresses....💜💜💜 Season two✨️✨️

Just finished the series and I genuinely touched on how pure and wholesome the story is. A rare story about sisterhood. The cast, set design and soundtrack are really excellent. I have tears once or twice not because of sad but because of how sheer wholesome the character is. To quote Nana Mori , "It's not about glorifying daily life. We want to show that life is beautiful as is." 9/10. Truly a simple and heartwarming story accompany by great cast and melancholic ost.

A very calm and relaxing show to watch. Love how they were able to tell a great story with such a small space. The only problem I have with this show is that in the anime and manga, Kyo and Sumire are both 16 years old. The 2 actresses Natsuki Deguchi and Nana Mori are both in their early 20s. They do not look like teenagers at all so the anime "Kiyo in Kyoto" actually feels more accurate to the manga. Likely could be that teen actresses can be hard to find or that the producers don't want to deal with their school schedules. But if we look past their age gaps and just focus on it as a show, its a great show that Netflix greenlight. I love how there are barely any drama but rather focus on food, friendship, arts, crafts and storytelling. I do recommend this show and for anyone that have not seen the anime "Kiyo in Kyoto", go watch it too. You get to see teenager versions of Kiyo and Sumire and how the show inspired the Netflix Live-action version.

Gentili, belle, armoniose, eleganti, le protagoniste di questa serie rappresentato indistintamente queste qualità difficili da trovare nel mondo e ancor più sulle scene, dove ormai tutto tende a una spettacolarizzazione violenta e dozzinale.

On my 2nd rewatch. This is one comfort series. I really liked the set design, similar to how our homes look lived in, papers on the fridge, knick knacks lying around and orderly clutter. Like Kiyo-san, I loved the kitchen, the morning sun coming in through the window. A quiet quality to it. The liveliness of the gathering of the maiko family. No excessive drama. Summary- it's lovely throughout. Anyone, if you know more of similar series, please kindly leave some recommendations in the comments.

I don't think it was ever intended to be a more than 1 season show. The manga basically covers most of what is in the series, so to go further they either need the OG manga author to write more, or to write it themselves which seems unlikely to keep the same spirit.
