banging their heads together doesn't even come close...
How can I accurately describe the overwhelming excruciatingly painful frustration to be endured when watching proposal…? I don’t know, I will try but it will be hard work to really get this across.
This drama stars my favourite pair MasaPi. And I love them both in this series even though they are both utterly useless Takumi-kun excuses for human beings all the way through.
Ok, basically Ken (Yamapi) and Rei (Nagasawa Masami) have been friends since forever and when Rei finally gets married Ken realises what an utter d*ck he’s been his entire life having not made a proper move on her – or even at least been nice to her a little bit.
On Rei’s wedding day Ken feels pretty low watching his only love get taken away by someone else and pafu! A church fairy comes along and persuades him to go back in time to confess as he should have done all those years ago.
Through the photos in the slide show at her wedding dinner, Ken travels back to those points in time to see Rei and right his wrongs – only to realise he is just as much of a useless Takumi-kun now as he ever was, and can’t seem to stop being an utter nightmare even with his second chances.
There are some fabulous moments throughout, and it is one of my absolute favourite dramas BUT be warned you will be banging your head on the wall in frustration summertime machine blues style at his stupidity screaming KEN YOU F*CK-TARD JUST SORT IT OUT!!!! He often says things like "what the hell was i doing back then?!" well yes Ken-zou, you get to cringe at your younger self but we get to see that and then watch you still act like an idiot even though you can see full well what you need to do - for god sake boy you need a slap in the face! There are many moments when you really think it may work out ok… but alas this drama is Japanese not Korean so they save the happies for the very end if they give them to you at all.
Yamapi is goooooorgeous in this – I really don’t know why (and i never use that word for boys), - I mean aside from the obvious that he always is, but really actually though. I like that it gives him a chance to be funny and a little slapstick here and there as his character is an idiot. And Nagasawa is adorable as she always is. She is fluffier than mousse and I just adore her. Infact, i think this series is due another watch. it has to be at least a year and a half since i saw this last.
The supporting cast is great.
Fujiki Naohito (hotaru ni hikari, shibatora),
Eikura Nana, (mei-chan no shitsuji)
Hiraoka Yuta, (godhand teru those naked operations in space, tatta hitotsu no koi)
Hamada Gaku, (loss time life, taiyou to umi no kyoshitsu)
Mikami Hiroshi. (Pandora, chance)
All playing likable and suitably quirky characters in their own ways.

It is one for the girls, all about the romance and fate and stuff. It is really very funny, epically stupid and expectedly sweet. There are 11 episodes and a special (just as stupid as the rest of the series) and there is no watching this drama slowly, I dare anyone to leave it for a while and not be desperate to see what happens… or desperate to get it over with… however you see it. I could NOT have watched this as it was airing.
Watch this and think about how you let things slip through your fingers. Don’t end up like this complete moron. There really is no day but today, even if you could do it all again, you’d probably still mess it up, if it wasn’t meant to be that way you would have done it right the first time.
Ureshii squeeeeeeee ken-zou, aish I love that stupid boy (^_^)
i seriously never get tired of Yamapi with a towel round his head.
...why though?!
