thanks to hideko-san, i've embarked on a new jdrama and just finished watching it. nice show!! with a middle-aged man taking the lead role, this is one drama tat manages to warm my heart once more, just like dramas like Beach Boys and GTO. there is such thing called ホスト(ho-su-to 'host') in japan. they are basically male versions of hostesses, those u see in Ginza. often mistaken as gigolos, cos a lot of them sell their bodies for more money and fame, hosts do not sleep around. their job is to 'heal women of their weariness and frustrations', or so, just like how the drama suggests to the audience in an attempt to change ppl's mindsets about hosts. story revolves ard a middle-aged guy, kohei, who's 36 and just got retrenched. with no qualifications and nil educational level, kohei couldn't find a job no matter how hard he tried. he jus gets rejected time and time again. kohei has a wife and a daughter. he harbours a deep secret that none of them knew: he was the lengendary Host of Roppongi exactly 10 years ago. the No.1 in the vicinity among all the clubs, he was often admired by many and many hosts learned to work ethically because of his influence. he quit his job 10 years ago so tat he could marry the one he loves and give her real happiness. after failing another interview one day, kohei meets his ex-colleague at a park by accident. being out of job, and his kid is about to attend elementary sch, kohei wants to give his best to his family. thus, kohei secretly went back to the place he left 10 years ago: リンク Rink. it wasn't easy for kohei, having to go back the place he once deserted to pursue happiness, and things have changed. younger guys are all unhappy with seeing an uncle joining the club, and everyone can't wait to sabotage him at every single opportunity. kohei bears with everything cos he needs the money to feed his family. it's entertaining but yet aching to watch how they treat kohei with disrespect, without knowing that kohei was the one who catapulted Rink's status as the No. 1 club. but it's lagi shiok to see how kohei counters every attack with love and warmth, soon winning everyone over to his side eventually. i really like the lead actor in this drama. first spotted him in bambino, then zettai kareshi. be it a head chef whose bark is louder than his bite, or a queer scientist determined to create the perfect robot, he always handles his roles with ease. no wonder this time they made him the lead. i'm very impressed by him, he's not good looking or wat, but something about his acting is so attractive, so pure. talented and charismatic actor i would put it. i know i've said i wan to stop liking younger boys, but this time, miura shohei is my type of guy!!! looking a cross btw yamapi and daigo, he's uber cute with that mega-watt smile of his, and his bumbling rookie host character that lightens up the film atmosphere. ちょ可愛い! 翔ちゃん、もうちょ大好き! |
