Fa real! I can't believe I forgot to post my review here, tho. My Review: 10/10 I�fm not at all surprised that this drama won awards for Best Casting and Best Screenwriter, among others. The storyline is very simple. Two very different guys meet and embark on a journey to find their own dreams, while living and breathing the ocean during a fateful summer. The plot for each episode is sometimes not evident, and I�fm not even sure if anything ever really happens�c but what makes this drama so great is the way the characters develop. I was hooked with the very first episode. By the second, I was already breathing with the characters. Everything about this drama is so real and raw. The actors and actresses aren�ft acting. They�fre being. Sorimarchi Takashi was absolutely brilliant, and Takenouchi Yutaka was so honest and truthful. Hirosue Ryoko, whom I�fve only ever enjoyed in Summer Snow, has added another of her dramas to my list of favourites. And Inamori Izumi! My goodness. I�fve found her annoying in everything I�fve seen her in, but she�fs definitely redeemed herself with this role. I�fve never felt so dearly for a character as I�fve felt for hers watching Beach Boys. The drama is not perfect, but I�fve given it a 10/10 because it was truly a pleasure watching such fine characters grow and breathe. _________________ Wanna trade?

Me too. I first saw her in Semi-Double where she played in a serious tear jerker role. She was excellent and I dont usually go for that kiind of thing.
The HAruko role added a lot to the Beach Boys series. I must admit the first time I saw it through I was really surprised by the later eps. especially when

I saw her first in Pretty Girls and I thought that Drama was lame... hence why I didn't enjoy her in anything I saw her afterwards. But I thought she was excellent in Beach Boys.

Fa real. I was really surprised at all, and I think it hits really hard when something like this happens in such a happy-go-lucky drama.

Fingers crossed

I didn't really enjoy the special (I like the series), if that makes you feel any better.
The feeling in the series wasn't there in the special, until close to the end, and then the motivation for the change at the end was pretty unconvincing for me.
(I watched a Chinese-subtitled version, in case anyone is wondering)

I really enjoyed the chemistry/interactions between the main characters in the series though.
