I also recommend Saka no Tochu no Ie, strongly. It was easily one of the best things from 2019. I watched fearing that it would drop the ball hard when the convicted mother finally were allowed to talk during the trial because IMO, Jdramas have a serious problem with monologues and speeches. They 99% times feel incoherent or contradictory or miss the whole point that the story should be talking about, but this one avoided this problem, it actually satisfied me.
It's a very good story with good acting, it's about the place and role of women in japanese society and one of the good ones about this issue.
Only problem is that it made me wait anxiously for Kou Shibasaki's next role and it was puke inducing garbage (35sai no Shoujo).
Yuki Sakurai fared much better and I recommend her subsequent drama "Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita" (it's like the last year anime "If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die" but without the delirious yuri googles).
And while I'm still at it, "Love and Fortune" is also a good recommendation to fit here.

I almost started Quartet two times but I wasn't in the mood and ended deleting the episodes.
Maybe the problem is Issei Takahashi. I don't like looking at his face.
