Fan reviews: Hitonatsu no puropozu

sadacori · 23 Mar 2008

I watched this drama almost 10 years ago and recently, I had the chance to watch it again and it's still as great as I remembered.

The main story is about a love-triangle drama between two best friends and a guy that they met through the main character, Megumi's mother. Meg's mother, who is a radio talk show host, bases her shows off the love life of her daughter and friends. She tries all sorts of tactics from bugging her daughter's cabinets, bag, and also following her around to various places to get the inside scoop on her daughter's love love for her radio program, but also to lead Meg in the right direction to get her true love.

After all the recent flashy dramas that I've been watching, it's nice to return to a good old-fashion story with no silliness or thrills. This drama almost reminds me of a Korean drama for its simple romantic storytelling, but without the overly melodramatic scenes.

If you want a sweet, but mature romantic drama, this is the one for you.

This has to be one of the first dramas that I've watched, and after all these years it still is my favorite. I loved all the love triangles that occurred in this show. This so far is the only drama that has left me with a warm happy feeling. Very sweet, and touching, with a fulfilling ending. Highly recommend it to all. I just hope that I can find a copy of this on dvd someday.

I liked the actors and actresses in this drama. Nothing too flamboyant, but a good story and lots of good acting. Sakai Maki is very cute and you tend to want to root for her.
