what an awesome series. I was cracking up the whole time through. At first, I wasn't sure how the initial formula would carry through or if the exaggerated acting would be an asset or a burden. So I was glad to see that after a few episodes the storyline kind of strayed away from Unubore to the secondary Unubore 5 characters and added refreshing variations to the formula. The exaggerated acting definitely grew on me too. It was complemented very well by the human elements in the story, which I much appreciated and dubbed as 'serious relief' (a la comic relief). Anyway, I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Kudokan.
One thing that I really, really, really love and find worth mentioning about Kudokan's dramas is that they often feature a variety of dialects/accents and languages (without ever making them a focal point for the story). For instance, the Fukushima dialect in this particular series; and off the top of my head (though I'm no expert in dialects), Osaka dialect in Manhattan Love Story, Aomori dialect in Tiger & Dragon (and the old Edo dialect of course), Korean in Kisarazu Cat's Eye (the movies, in any case) and there were a bunch in IWGP. Brilliant.
I can't wait for another KudoKan drama. Here's hoping for a fourth Kudo x Nagase pairing in another 5 years. *crosses fingers*

Thanks for the link, was hoping I'd be able to find this music somewhere!chokubi wrote:Those who can't wait for ep11 can listen to the full version of the dancing song in the meantime.
Awesome dorama, one of the most enjoyable I've seen for some time. I liked how the basic formula was subverted and twisted more and more as the show went on. Love the dancing, the facial contortions, the ever increasing age then variable gender of love interest, Saeki's hand writing and drunk voice, etc. etc.
