To be honest, initially I had little intention in picking up this series because I thought it’d be quite lame and stuff, but looking at the viewership rating, I changed my mind and decided to give it a try. While it turns out that there are still many lame scenes, it was actually better than expected, minus some flaws here and there.
This drama basically features 2 siblings in 2 families, Oki and Tsubaki. Both elder siblings were once part of their own bike gang and have a history behind them. Oki Kenji becomes a manga artist in order to support his younger sister after both parents passed away a decade back. He also happens to be VERY protective when it comes to his sister and has some absurd practices and expectations on her. Lol, it’s kinda exaggerated at times but it does sort of become one of the sources for funny scenes.
The other family has an elder sister Erika, who used to be not as pretty and feminine as she looks now and has been secretly in love with Kenji since ten years back. Nah, she’s not the overprotective type but her weakness is Kenji, and snaps whenever she’s agitated by certain “keywords”. Haha, of course this is also another source of laughter at times though on other occasions it kinda backfires a little. =X
The show is mainly based on their lives, relationships, and even “rivals” with bad intentions towards them. Through all these, we actually get to see some touching moments and meaningful thoughts/statements as well as funny (though it can be a little lame) scenes that brighten up the mood. However, it’s probably still a little on the crazy side so those who are unable to handle such things will probably be quite annoyed by quite a number of scenes across the 10 episodes.
Overall, I felt that the drama was better than what I thought it would be although I think it might not appeal to quite a lot of people. Hehe, but I guess such kinds of drama are quite well accepted in Japan since the ratings are considered to be quite decent. =)
