Team Batista no Eikoチーム・バチスタの栄光 – Release Oct 08

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
Taguchi Kohei (Ito Atsushi ) 伊藤淳史and Shiratori Keisuke (Nakamura Toru ) 仲村トオルare brought into an investigation regarding a case of 3 consecutive death on the operation room in Tojo University Hospital. The surgical team involves is specialize in Batista operation. Since the formation of the team, they set a record of 27 success operation without any failing. After that the team continuously received 3 failures during the operation causing the death of 3 patients on the operation table. As Batista operation is a difficult heart operation, cases of patients die during the operation is normal. But for the case of 3 consecutive deaths, chances are something has terribly gone wrong. The cause of the death might not simply be just medical mistake, worst of all this might the work of a murderer.

Feelings and comments:
At first I thought this is just another medical surgical drama but I was wrong. It’s actually a detective investigation drama with the crime scene in the surgical room. The scrip of the drama is well written in a way that you’ll keep on watching it once started.
No doubt that doctor carries great responsibility in saving lives. I can’t imagine if doctors start killing patients simply for their pleasure, glory or anything else. Even so we can see that doctors still make mistakes just like everyone else. The difference is they reduce the chances of mistakes using knowledge, rules and experience. Still nothing is perfect, we can only hope for the best. At the end of the day, doctors might be the best choice we have.

Things that caught my eyes:
It’s another drama that introduces Batista surgical procedure. Most important of all the drama also tells us that doctors are ordinary people too. They can’t save everybody and they are not perfect.

Japan Drama Rating:
Worth watching. It’s actually a very interesting investigation drama, detective story that took place in the hospital.

Celeb to Binbo Taroセレブと貧乏太郎 – Release Oct 08

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
Mitazono Alice (Ueto Aya) 上戸彩 comes from a rich family. She is young, beautiful and fashion talented. She is a fashion icon and owns a fashion company. She is a famous celebrity in Japan. Sato Taro (Kamiji Yusuke) 上地雄輔 is a poor father that has no permanent job. He is also a single parent of 3 children. The 2 different people from totally different background met and started out a relationship between a poor and a rich.

Feelings and comments:
The story is not much interesting as it’s basically a relationship between a celebrity girl and a poor father. The question that might keep you into the drama is that “Will both of them be together at the end?” As you start to watch the drama, that question won’t be the main thing that keeps you watching it.
If you’re a fan of Ueto Aya (上戸彩) then you’ll definitely love this drama. It’s pretty much about having Ueto Aya (上戸彩) doing all the stuff that she’s good at and making the story go around her. In the end you have a fun and enjoyable sort of fairy tale, which is good to view for family and all ages.

Things that caught my eyes:
Having fresh egg for breakfast is really something special. It’s definitely different form the one that we bought from the market because you still can feel the warm temperature from the egg. That is if the drama really uses fresh new eggs, but I doubt it.

Japan Drama Rating:
Fun to watch. It’s always fun to watch Ueto Aya (上戸彩) in different costumes.

His brother takes up the responsibility to raise Yasuko and work as girl comic writer (shojo mangaka). Before that he was a leader of a motorcycle gang rider.

As his brother Oki Kenji (Matsuoka Masahiro) 松岡昌宏 is very strict with her social life and everything else, it will be hard for Yasuko to have a normal high school life.

Feelings and comments:
Having strict parents that watches your moves all the time really does feel annoying, but then that’s because they care too much until about you. After all about family and everything can be discuss and solved. Seriously it’s tough being in the position of Oki Kenji (Matsuoka Masahiro) 松岡昌宏 where he has to take care of the sister in his young age.
Tsubaki Erika (Hirosue Ryoko) 広末涼子 and Yasuko (Tabe Mikako) 多部未華子is the only 2 actresses that is really good in this drama. Their acting can be consider natural enough to keep me continue to finish the drama. Especially for Tabe Mikako 多部未華子 I think she is going to do well in the coming drama.

Things that caught my eyes:
The brother Oki Kenji (Matsuoka Masahiro) 松岡昌宏 seems to know their location at the end of each episode.

Japan Drama Rating:
Fun to watch. If you’re a fan of Hirosue Ryoko広末涼子 then you must watch it.
