Ogi Shunsuke is a baseball player who loses the big game, then wants to make his comeback. Before he does, he dies. In Japanese heaven, the Ministry of Heaven made a mistake by killing Ogi. Ogi's guide, Tanaka, gives Ogi a second chance at life and baseball but he has to live life in another body because his was cremated.

Sorimachi does his best despite a predictable and bad script. The acting was fine.

Watch "Wonderful Life" instead.

Cast list on JDORAMA is wrong. I'd give this series a higher rating if Harada Natsuki was in an episode.

This drama is one hell of a roller coaster ride again.. i definitely LOVE the plot.. i cant believe they can make a nice script will all of the new drama that is airing.. it's very difficult.. Takashi Sorimachi did a BRILLIANT job again on his character.. the ending is very sad yet happy.. yeah i know confusing.. but will capture your heart totally.. i cant count it anymore how many Sorimachi drama which he started at made me cry.. including this one. Samuel Samaniego of Quezon City, Philippines.

The story is about Ogi Shunsuke, a baseball player who retire after loosing his game, but deep down inside he still have a dream to stand in Giant batterbox.
So a year after he decide to become a pro again, but he think he have to throw his life so he can only concentrate on baseball. He broke up with his fiancee, unfortunately that night he struck by lightning and die. He meet with Tanaka (an angel), and right before Tanaka take him to heaven the Ministry of death announce that there some kind of mistake, Ogi Shunsuke not suppose to die, but he also can't go back to his own body, because it already cremated. So Tanaka help him to find a new body, Ogi wants to have a perfect body but they run out of time, so Ogi take Asahina takaya's body. Other might see Asahina but inside is Ogi's soul.
What Ogi dont know that Asahina not just dont have a muscle, but he also a bad person. The situation just get worse when Hina shows-up, she is Asahina's illegal child.
As Ogi try to chase his dream through Asahina's body, he also try to fix Asahina problems with other people, He re-created Asahina's company, build a nice relationship with Hina.

The plot of this dorama is great, but the ending kinda confusing me, still this dorama is worth watching

I really enjoyed this drama. It's my favourite from this season ;-) Dreams come true! Sorimachi-san didn't disappoint me XD

Dream again? Baseball again? Girlfriend, Daughters, Portfolio Management, Corporate Takeover, should be fun though, yet the script is TERRIBLE ! ! ! When the strength of a show is the protagonist's wardrobe and the title song, you know how good the show is. dropped @ ep6

I'm still wondering. Is it the maturing charisma of Sorimachi or the good script that is keeping me glued to this drama? Sorimachi isn't aging any faster than his wife yet he graduating from a daddy of a three year old (Hotman) to a 12yr old ! It's really a bonus to have the young actress who acted in "14yr old mother" in this drama - very matured acting. Funny, those with a crown of white hair are the ones who try to act cute ! i love the theme song

Dream Again --- Takashi Sorimachi --- Baseball
7. Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 6/10]
I'm not sure what my expectations were when watching this drama - Sorimachi Takeshi is an excellent actor and he was the first actor I've seen in a Jdrama (GTO). However, this series is the same old same old Sorimachi Takeshi - the inspirational, loud, and sometimes proves his point through aggressive means type Sorimachi Takeshi. Anyway, the premise of the series is definitely much more original than most of the dramas I've seen lately.

"Dream Again" has a strong cast and a great idea, but sadly that's all. The story begins to drag after a few episodes and the character, Ogi Shunsuke, seemed very unrealistic. The lines were very contrived and the other characters only seemed to detract from what little was positive about the show. Hopefully Sorimachi Takeshi will try a different role next time around.

An excellent series....Baseball story which wasn't really about baseball..but about a baseball player who has to die in order for him to grow as a human being...a drama about doing the right thing, gambatte, dreams, etc...........excellent cast and music....

The story is ok, while the theme song is great.

It was actually more then I expected from this drama and that's also maybe why I rated it so high. Anyways, this drama wasn't about the superstition, but to give you more of a life listen of some sort...I think

surprisingly good. it's not as predictable as some of the comments here claim. the ending is sweet albeit implausible but so is the entire premise. i've watched takashi sorimachi before but this is the first dorama i've finished.he is quite charismatic but the revelation for me was shida mirai..she never fails to surprise. watched this show in one sitting, which surprised me.

great cast and story.
17. Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 8/10]
Uhm, what to say... I liked the dorama, the characters and the story is really enjoyable. Sadly, I can't really cope with the ending... :/ [SPOILER] I'm the last person who doesn't like happy endings, but this felt totally unreal. Don't like it, in no way... [/SPOILER] But apart from that it really is a nice dorama and I'd therefore recommend watching. :3

Ai Kato was sooooo cute in this. That said, this was a pretty addictive drama for me. Sorimachi gave a great performance and the story kept me hooked.

Sorimachi Takashi's acting is subalashi!!
Kato Ai is so pretty in Dream Again. She's the type of girl you really want to protect her all the time.
This drama is getting passionate and may make you filled with tears from episode 6.....

I did skip most of the scenes that were too long but I liked it somewhat. Kato Ai should never ever play the role of an attorney.

nice drama, love sorimachi! does drag a lil' in the middle.
Asahina!!!.. dont give up!!!.. [Rating: 10/10]
i cant believe they can make a nice script will all of the new drama that is airing.. it's very difficult.. (actually it's a remake from 2 American movies.) "Heaven Can Wait" (1978)
Starring: Warren Beatty as a football player who dies, which actually was a remake of: "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" (1941) Starring: Robert Montgomery, poised to be the next heavyweight boxing champ until a angel pulls him from an impending plane crash and sends him to heaven before his time. Both play th sax!
