I've watched it for a second time this week, we are during the corona period. And what was my surprise when I saw on the first episode at 3:00 a pachinko with the name of "korona" appearing... Just amazing.
Anyway, one of the main dorama of kinki kids. Great of course. Have to watch the special now.

The idea was different. A little *a lot* unrealistic, but still different. It shows that people are trying to think of new idears. And while it could have easily failed, it didnt.
But dont jump the gun here; it didnt excel. Despite the quirky new format and plot, it was still a typical teen-type dorama. The Kinki brothers did a....well, a good job. Koichi was by far the more entertaining of the two, and while Tsuyoshi obviously tried his best, he came off just a tad too stoic and uniformed. He tried to convey everything he could by the book, instead of just letting the emotions flow.
The mirad of extras also didnt help the performances. While there were some diamonds in the ruff, the slew of ongoing extras dampened the credibility of taking this dorama any seriously. And the problem with that, is this dorama had to have some serious-taking to it, in order to get the effect of emotions it was trying to entice.
Read above, and notice all the people who were obviously moved by it. Well it might have a big effect on you if you are easily moved, like say, by the evidence of a chia pet dying with its edges browning over...but if you have even the marginal aspect of critical tastes, you'll find the 'drama' of this dorama more comedic, then anything else.
Still, with the stigma of camp surrounding it *and no, I dont mean camp as in lets go to the woods and get molested by councilors, I meant the 'campy' kind...oh nevermind* it had quite a few moments where it 'did it right'. Most of them were comedic, but on this shows defense, those moments were meant to be comedic.
In otherwords, while I recommend it, you wont die if you miss it.

the last thing yuri said.. interesting storyline.. but it started out slow.. and i really didn't like to see the children and teenagers fighting over food and shelter.. it really mademe consider not finishing.. but at the end when all of them got together as a group i really enjoyed the show.. the scenes against the army were funny.. :) tsuyoshi and koichi did great.. tsuyoshi put just the right amount of hilarity in the show.. matsujun in his first role was real convincing.. kohara yuki and aiba were so cute.. but credit really did have to go to hosyo mai.. she was at her best.. i enjoyed the rest of the cast too.. shibasaki-san, ryu, makoto, ricky.. watch it if you like plots on survival..

I liked it very much. A kakkoi fest i say. I totally loved the chracter Yuri(Hosho Mai). She was a strong female chracter and very tough so no one could mess woth her. Unless you get an all boy ganag to beat her up like Makoto did. That was cruel!!! This drama actually made me cry when Yuri died. It was so sad * sniff sniff* Sorry if i spoiled it for ne of you reading this and you dodn't watch it yet, but why did Yuri have to die. She was so cool. Okay back to reality It was over good and one of my favorites. So I recommend you watch it. Plus the Kinki kids are so CUTE!

I love this dorama! I was flipping through channels and I completely stopped when I saw it. It was totally different from what I usually watch and it deserves to be seen!

if you are a KinKi Kids fan (like me), then this is one collectible dorama which stars both of them. storyline is a little ridiculous, but you find yourself wanting to watch one episode after another cuz' you would want to find out what actually happened...plus, doumoto kouichi looking his best in this dorama...kakkoii!!!!
