In order to earn enough money for a living, Kamei Shizuka starts to work for the money and it seems being a lawyer can really earn a lot of money. For that reason, Kamei Shizuka persuades Nonaka Hiromu for the position as office assistance in his office. Yet, Kamei Shizuka chooses this work for the money and not because she knows the work. There for Nonaka Hiromu hired a trouble maker instead of a helper.

Feelings and Comments:

It’s another drama created base on a comic, being that Horikita Maki is the center of it. She is in different school uniforms as well as in a traditional Chinese dress. Fans of her can see her in different dresses too in this drama. The story line is not much special but still good for a laugh. I think this type of lawyer drama has good potential in expanding into 10 episode series. Lots of good ideas can be tied up to lawyers. This single episode has too many things to squeeze inside.

Things that caught my eyes:

Tanihara Shosuke sure is lucky to be able to drive around such a nice sports car. Not to mention that Horikita Maki able to catch up the sports car on a bicycle that she got from a stranger.

Japan Drama Rating:

Fan of (Horikita Maki) 堀北真希 is a must watch. If not, watch it when you're free.

Papa to Musume no Nanokakan パパとムスメの７日間 – Release July 07

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:

This is another one of the soul and body exchange story. A frequently used idea but never fail to attract the audience. In this drama, daughter Kawahara Koume (Aragaki Yui) 新垣結衣 exchange body with her father Kawahara Kyoichiro(Tachi Hiroshi) 舘ひろしduring an incident when both of them are on the train. Daughter Kawahara Koume traps in father’s body and father Kawahara Kyoichiro traps in daughter’s body. Both of them have no choice but to work together to live as each other while finding a way to change back. Thus father experiencing daughter’s life and daughter experiencing father’s life.

Feelings and Comments:

Talking about understanding each other, sometimes we need to place ourselves in their position to fully understand it. The message from this drama is very clear. Two people need to talk and communicate in order to be close. That’s the first step. Second step will be placing yourself at her/his position and understand how her/his life. It might be difficult but possible. I think most of us understand this, just that a lot of us waiting others to make the first step and having busy as an excuse. If we don’t do it now today, tomorrow will never comes.

Things that caught my eyes:

Aragaki Yui and Tachi Hiroshi really pair up great to produce such an entertaining drama. The acting on the exchange is very convincing.

Japan Drama Rating:

Fun to watch. A very entertaining home comedy.

Romeo and Juliet ロミオとジュリエット- Release April 07 (Single Episode Drama)

Kumo Japan Drama sneak !!

Japan Drama Story:

This drama is just as what the title said it is, a Romeo and Juliet style of story. Drama begins with love at first sight between Morita Hiromichi (Takizawa Hideaki) 滝沢秀明 and Kihira Juri (Nagasawa Masami) 長澤まさみ. Morita Hiromichi works as a poor recycle items collector which drives around the neighbors. Kihira Juri is a university student with a rich background. Just like the original story of Romeo and Juliet, family background of these couple is the boundary. Morita Hiromichi’s father is a wanted criminal and Kihira Juri’s father is the detective in charge of the pursuit. Faith brought this couple together for a reason, a reason or a story about their parents that they never knew.

Feelings and Comments:

It’s difficult to tell a story that everybody knows about and still able to capture their heart. This drama did a good job of capturing my curiosity in the beginning. It’s not the title that is attractive but its how the story is presented. The original Romeo and Juliet have a sad ending. If you take a moment and think about it, it’s just a bad choice that they made. If Romeo had chosen to stay alive then we will have a happy ending. That goes the same as our normal life. As long as we’re alive and think positive then something good will happened. We can choose to have a romantic relationship and choose not to have a sad ending like Romeo and Juliet. Besides, love is about the choices and sacrifices that we made. One sad ending of Romeo and Juliet is enough, don’t you think.

Things that caught my eyes:

The yellow color of Ginkgo trees on both side of the path with the yellow leafs cover along the road is the best scene of this drama. Just like the famous Korean drama “Winter Sonata”.

Japan Drama Rating:

Nice to watch. Good looking couple and beautiful scene with unpredictable story line.

Yamada Taro Monogatari 山田太郎ものがたり – Release July 07

Kumo Japan Drama sneak !!

Japan Drama Story:

This is the story of Yamada Taro (Ninomiya Kazunari) 二宮和也 and the people around him. Yamada Taro comes from a poor family with 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Each day Yamada Taro has to work part time to support his family. In school, Yamada Taro is the best student in study and sports with great looks. He is one of the popular guys that girls dream of. Yet, with his appearance and achievement almost everybody thinks that he is from a rich or royal family. He does not attend any after school activities as he has to work. Mimura Takuya (Sakurai Sho) 櫻井翔 in the other had is from a wealthy rich family. They become friends as Mimura Takuya is very interested in the lifestyle of Yamada Taro.

Feelings and Comments:

This is the story of a poor prince that has everything except money. When a person is working hard to earn a living, he/she can be unbelievable attractive. The sense of being alive and energetic spirit can be found within. A simple smile from the family is the best reward for Yamada Taro for working hard. I think most people also doing the same. Money can not buy happiness, it might seem hard but happiness can be simple and easy. A small house with everybody living in can be crowded but still people can find a way to be happy. Rich or poor is not the factor of happiness. Either way, you’ll still have problems to deal with. Happy or sad is just how you tune yourself. It’s all in your mind. Think positive, don’t take things too seriously, bless and forgive will surely put a smiling happy face up.

Things that caught my eyes:

The wooden house that located at the corner of the streets sure looks special. It’s kind of rare as you can enjoy the starts at the roof, BBQ and plant vegetables.

Japan Drama Rating:

Fun to watch. Simple worm comedy suitable for families to watch.
