Where to watch Character (2021) tonight

Character (2021) runs 2 h 5 min and averages 7.4 from 60 TMDB members. A kind man aspires to become a manga writer, but villains and evil deeds do not come easily to him, for he has little experience or natural inclination for them. Things take a surprise turn when he comes across a family who were described as idealized that are no more. He uses the real-life situation for his work.
