'Buzzer Beat' My Current Fave Japanese Drama

Okay,

Verdict : lets see hmm, Keiko Kitagawa , a (not cheesy) romantic plot, awesome OST and a great message is more than enough for you all to watch this 11 Episodes of J-Dorama that once aired our TV on late November 2010.

I just searched some info on Wiki'drama,Wikipedias,Blogs and Jdorama websites
and guess what ?

This drama won 2 Best Drama awards in Summer 2010,
and 1 awards for each Best Actor,Actress,Supporting Character ,Script writing and Theme songs.

Ok i didnt know this info before i watched it to be honest.

And the first Episodes scenes didnt wow me either,its kinda too predictable with a stereotype Sport-love story which end up being absolutely cheesy and lame fake sport scenes.
The only reason i watched it is because theres no other show airing at that moment.
I yawn and watch it uninterestedly ..until the scene where Natsuki smoking and cheat on Naoki.

slowly the whole story starts to catch my attentions , developed interestingly and the next thing i know...This Drama has changed my life forever... ;)

ahahaha yeah i mean it.... i never felt like this for J-Drama since Beautiful Life ( which still, in a sad way tho )

I can go On and On about this review for days and not stopping but i'll let u guys decide whether the whole point i said is true or not after watching it. :)

Okay back to the review :

I always a spiritual man. Who believes that we exist for something, and fate always hold a secret for us. A secret that we can only unveiled by faith.

And this drama has that message too. You need to watch it until the end tho.

Apart from message this drama has it all :

Naoki and Riko is likely the most applauded-cheered-and-deserved to be-Couple in the whole universe ( or Japan at least).

One is an unconfident hardworker guy who always keep things to himself and easily got a mental breakdown ,while the other is hopeless talented girl who always use her cheerful and positive thinking to help others but on the same time to cover her weakness.

They met each other in what seems to be the most common way two person could be friends : playground. And they started talking to each other about themselves like they have known each other for long ( and it was admitted by Riko herself when Mai confronted her the next day). No intentions,no drama,no cheesy talking or Love-at-first-sight scenes. It just plain talk and their expression is damn natural. The best thing is ,no one bother to ask their own name.
It just Fate ;)

After episodes per episodes, we can see both of them is engaged in their own love life issues.
Naoki with his bored GF and Riko with her new perfect-steady- BF. But as friends , they still met in various occasions and help each other in things.

Then the Fate starts interfere in. This is when it gets really2 interesting.

At various occasions it start showing hints that they actually have sumthing than friendship and hid it for themselves.

I can't help but ( honestly) melt with how they both show their inner feeling unintentionally.
The scene where Riko felt nervous whenever she heard naoki's name or when she felt worried after heard Naoki sad voice in the phone then off immediately to Naoki's training camp (added the beautiful Soundtrack) is just awesome....pure affection that is.
And how Naoki explained to Natsuki and Tomoya that Riko is his most important person right now and he wont let her go ( in a calm tone) is just pure devotion.

But still my best fave scene is On Riko's Birthday.
Where Naoki called and Riko look out from the window crying and yelling at Naoki sentences that would make every man in the japan cry in their own lap and run straight to the stairs too. hahaha ;)

nway.too many spoilers...

okay so it sounds like all stereotypical drama out there which u all have watched too many that u puke. But lemme tell u one thing : this is not.

All that u expect to happens in stereotype drama, doesnt. Well it does a bit but All the twist that usually creates unnecessary events : is corrected the moment it appeared . Its like a rollercoaster ride with not too many screams only excitements.

Its probably one of the most straight forwarded drama i've seen but made beautifully that u cant help but enjoy every detail of it. Every character is not wrong, they just act naturally..humanly.

So i wont give u an ending spoiler but please watch it. At least once.
You'll never regret it.
