Talking about probabilty,

How often do you find a JAPANESE drama serial with the 2 main actor&actress with your favorite names? (and really, when I say favorite, its really an obsession)

A very very very low chance right?

Not to mention one of which is a Japanese name, the other an English name?

That makes it very low, for the fact is that there are SO many names on this planet...


Well, I was fortunate to stumble upon this jdrama called Proposal Daisakusen. Sounds chessy, but really, the title doesn't do justice to the storyline.


I have always believed that japanese shows are far better than korean shows, no need to mention about taiwan/hongkong/singapore ones. Yes, I am biased to japan, but what to do... I'm loyal to my japan. :3

But to justify my stand (trying to sound professional here), I have Proposal Daisakusen and One Litre Of Tears to prove to you guys that japanese shows arnt like the rest, but one(thousand million) notches up. Most dramas is about chick flicks and romance stories, where the main actors go chasing each other and then got some disease (especially luekmia or cancer) and then this and that. BORING lah that kinda story.

OLOT speaks volumes about friendship and hardship of those going through an uncurable disease. And for Proposal Daisakusen, though it IS about romance, it shows how much Ken tried to do to get Rei back, being childhood friends and unknowingly, childhood crushes.

Yes, their names are KEN and REI.
Now know why I absoultely love this show?

I'm so sad it has to come to an end. :( The story is damnnn nerve wrecking and it gets worse after every episode. Its like there are so many chances for Ken to confess and he didnt. -.- And even till the end of it, he only confessed at the last 15 minutes of the show? Plus, it has been a long time since a drama made me tear. What more its just a speech.

I'm not faking it people. Its seriously good stuff.

I think my sister who saw me watching the show must have thought I've gone nuts cause I was literally jumping around when Ken didnt confess again or else screaming when he managed to do something really sweet.

Enough of the story, more to eye candy now..

Ken was played by Yamashita Tomohisa, this totally HOT and cute (totally my type) Japanese guy...

And Rei was played by Nagasawa Masami, really cute and pretty girl. Somehow i think she looks ALOT like the girl in OLOT. HEH HEH. My type too! ( dont get the wrong idea please..)
