Juggling work and life as a parent is never easy, but how does a father who keeps irregular hours due to his successful acting career deal with the magnitude of challenges that come with being a single dad?
Ryuichi Oura will not lie. He admits the reality of solo parenting is no picnic but says his seemingly lopsided lifestyle — which he took on by choice — feels manageable now because he traded work-life balance for work-life harmony.
"I don't go out at night, so I started reading books. But I realized my life is already a novel. There's no story better than mine," Oura said in a recent interview.
