Review: Unubore Deka
I am writing this blog entry because this is my favorite Japanese drama. Not because it's necessarily the best drama ever made, but because I learned so much useful vocabulary from it and it was enjoyable enough to watch over and over. It literally took my Japanese to the next level. This is the show that made me want to study drama dialogue and made me believe it was possible to understand drama just by studying. I saw the same lines show up over and over, increasing my understanding each time.
But I really do love this show
Why? Because the show the characters are so comical when it comes to finding a Japanese mate. Nagase's performance as Unubore is great considering all the other roles he has taken. There is also really great love-language if you want to propose or confess to a girl in a ridiculous manner. One example is when Unubore tells Eriko he is in love with her (here), and she is shocked about how sudden it is. She replies with a common question "where (what) do you like about me?" He replies instantly with "Your face." Now in Japanese (and even Chinese) culture this is a really weird answer, especially with the timing and the serious look on his face. Most foreigners don't realize this, but it's really odd. It's these little quirks that really make this show funny and enjoyable, but you have to watch in context of the culture.
I think it's a great show to watch and discuss and I'd love to talk about it with others who have also seen it.
