Shomuni

Oh I laughed the entire time. The cast plays such odd and interesting characters and they play them so well. Really my sides hurt at times seeing this.

This is one of my all time favorite drama's. It is simply fun from start to finish. Way over the top and it revels in that. They are not pretending to be ordinary office workers or a serious drama. Only watch this if you can let go of yourself and enter the world of odd charachters and silly situations. If you can do this you will love it as much as I do. p.s. the Neko is one of my favorite charachters though he will not be in the credits. LOL

I have to admit, I didnft quite enjoy Shomuni until about the 6th episode. Each episode has its own plot, and other than the characters, which I didnft find attractive in the beginning, there is little connection.

However, it took me 6 episodes to realize that the connection is to be found IN the characters. Itfs a slow progression, but over time the characters swallow you up. As the episodes passed, one by one, I began looking forward to the walk the GA 2 girls and the Secretariat took before facing off; Riefs predictions; Chinatsu lifting that obscene latter over her shoulder; and Terasakifs and Nonomurafs antics. Although the characters, especially the GA 2 girls, are a bit bizarre and extreme, theyfre quite enjoyable and very entertaining.

I was also seeing, for the first time, actors and actresses that I was familiar with play totally different roles that I was accostumed to (i.e. Kyono Kotomi, Hosho Mai, Toda Keiko, Morimoto Leo, Toda Naho, and of course Esumi Makiko). It was quite refreshing.

The Storyline is non-existent, but each plot is entertaining and well written. Itfs the characters that make the show.
