Fan reviews: Kunimitsu no Matsuri

mochi · 21 Feb 2005

I bought this drama on random when i was at the video store (to be frank i bought it because Oshio Manabu starrs in this drama ^^ I was afraid that it would be weak plotwise since it seems that dramas starring hawt personalities would take liberties with plot quality BUT i was glad that wasn't the case!

i'm now on disc 7 (there are 9discs in total) and it proved really good! sure it was a tad too idealistic and just a teeny weeny unbelievable for real life situations but the characters in the drama worked really hard to portray their sincerity and at the end you find yourself won over by their determination, their ever brimming optimism, their genuine concern and care for the society they live in and those around them. it is one very heartwarming drama. the perfect tonic for all those apathetic souls out there! :D

Also it helps that they've got a powerful cast e.g. Oshio Manabu was totally funny and hilarious and very endearing with his childlike innocence and sincerity. There were a few episodes devoted to his interaction with kids from a school (sorry spoiler here: Oshio (Kunimitsu) was roped in by the principal of this school to help deal with an incorrigible class) The kids were wonderful too, they were really good at living up their roles (also it's wonderful how the production crew picked up those kids to suit their roles on screen) Besides that you have some side plot like how a reporter (Itoh) faced issues with partiality and protecting friends. There is just enough depth in this drama to justify its political contents and yet you've got enough entertainment to justify it as a drama.

Anyway whatever the reason Watch this drama because it's awfully inspiring and would make you feel nourished and optimistic again!! :D
But honestly Oshio's presence should be enough of a magnet for viewers :D

a great drama.oshio played his role very well indeed.strong determination and never give up attitude shown by kunimitsu[oshio].basically about political stuffs and opposition due to the wrong judgement by da previous mayor*hell,i dunno whut i was talkin about*.it's funny cuz kunimitsu is sumhow looked a bit like a mirror image of onizuka[really?!!].kunimitsu has his own way of solving da problems[juz like onizuka] even if it means going thru all da hardwork.and he has it's way wif obnoxious kids[same here like onizuka except that onizuka here was dealing wif problemed teenagers].
