Naguru Onna

Naguru Onna was an Ok drama. Although Ifm sure Wakui Emi is a solid actress, she didnft quite pull me in. I thought she was convincing and definitely fit her character, but she didnft interest me. Fukihoshi Mitsuru on the other handc! What a presence! I was completely convinced that he was a boxer and I felt his hardships through his actions!

Although the plot was liner and seemed predictable, the outcome of these predictions was never quite accurate, which I really liked. The love that blossomed between the two main characters was subtle and so, when it finally happened, it was believable.

This drama is enjoyable to watch, even if you donft like boxing. However, in the forum of sport-related dramasc well, itfs no Pride.

I bought this because I am a big Wakui fan. It showed a lot of the obstacles that boxers face. It also shows the single minded dedication you have to have to be even relatively sucessful. It has a lot of funny incidents surrounding Wakui being a trainer to Tuko san (did great job of the guy who gave up everythig to be a boxer, and he is not really that good)
