Synopsis

Xiao Zhuang always thought he was a good-looking fella because that was what his parents always told him. However, after starting university, he was in for a surprise when the girl he liked turned him down. His friends finally told him the truth, which was that he wasn’t good-looking at all.

My Review

Another funny show. It’s mostly about life in University where they try very hard to woo the girls they like and doing kuku stunts in school like setting up their own CCA. It started off when the main character, Xiao Zhuang, who always thought he is very handsome. His friends had a hard time trying to convince him that he is actually not handsome.

So eventually his friends thought of this bet which force him to confess to the school’s most pretty girl, Cindy. But Cindy is in love with another guy already thus she always reject all the guys trying to woo her. So she had a nick name of 好人卡批发商 because she always reject people by saying the person is a 好人 and she is not suitable and worthy enough for that guy.

Xiao Zhuang wanted to win the bet thus he went to confess but Cindy was in a very bad mood that day so instead of saying Xiao Zhuang was a 好人, she just directly shoot him saying she reject him because he looks ugly. From that point onwards then he realise 原来我不帅. LOL. And the funny thing was his friends were making fun of him recieving the limited edtion card of 丑人卡. I think the drama quite nice because I think thats what will happen in Uni life. Where you go zee siao your fren. Then your fren zee siao you. But when they are serious to woo a girl, they will think of ways to help each other.

Xiao Zhaung. During his childhood everybody call him handsome so he really thought he is handsome. LOL. During 1st episode he show his photo to his female friend. The friend immediately block him on MSN. LOL.

Cindy. It started off just as a bet but eventually Xiao Zhaung really fall in love with her.

Zhao Wei. A handsome vet. Cindy likes him but never confess because Zhao Wei is her sister's boyfriend. =X She admire him for many years.

Ah Kang. Xiao Zhaung's buddy. He always flirt around with different girls everyday. Eventually decided to stop flirting and seriously want to woo Qiao Ping.

Qiao Ping. President of student union club. Fall in love with Xiao Zhaung because she was touched by how Xiao Zhaung can sacrifice himself to help and protect Cindy while not asking Cindy to love him.

Man Man. Cindy's best buddy. Fierce and good at fighting. Accidently fall in love with Ah Kang although she knew Ah Kang was trying to woo Qiao Ping.

Si Si. Transfer student from korea. Speaks in lousy chinese but the tone very funny. He doesn't believe in love because he thinks at 1st it will be very sweet. But after sometimes will get bored eventually. But he also accidently fall in love with a wierd girl, Pin Xuan.

Pin Xuan. A girl with split personality. One side is gentle and caring. The other side is violent and fierce. Si Si fall in love with both personality. Then the 2 personality started to fight over him. Damn funny. ^^

When the 3 of them get together, surely there are planning some trouble... LOL. Their expression is always very dramatic. LOL.

Score: 8.3/10

Synopsis

Shinsuke Kuwano, a successful architect at 40, enjoys living by himself. He doesn’t like people but somehow is able to design wonderful houses for them.

He has a routine of making himself a delicious dinner and then relaxing to classical music in his easy chair while pretending he is the conductor. One night, he plays the music loud enough to make his next door neighbor, Michiru Tamara knock on his door to complain.

When Kuwano answers the door, he suffers a terrible stomach pain and collapses to the floor. Lucky for him, Michiru is nice enough to accompany him to the hospital, where he is treated by Dr. Natsumi Hayasake. He is really rude to Natsumi, but she is still determined to treat him.

Afterwards, Michiru and Natsumi become part of Kuwano’s life. They make friends with Kuwano’s colleagues Eiji and Maya Sawazaki. They all enjoy talking about how strange and eccentric Kuwano is. Is it possible that someone would ever want to marry him?

My Review

This show is actually quite interesting. Talking about Shinsuke Kuwano who is single and because of his self-centred attitude, he keep accidently bird other people. And he doesn’t like to have relationship with anybody because he finds it too troublesome. As the drama progress, you can see that he started to slowly open up to other people. But’s it still very little improvement. But at least he is trying… LOL.

He is not only self-centred, a perfectionist, a guy who hates family outing, a guy who never invites other people to his home, but he also arrogrant about his knowledge. End up he always say something very knowledgable but bird people that what he knew was common sense. LOL. The whole drama contains a lot of awkward situation which is funny. And his neigbour have this very cute dog. ^^

Shinsuke Kuwano. Guy with serious attitude problem. Hard to get married. LOL.

Sawazaki Maya. His colleague for 8 years. Understand him very well. Always help to pacify customers. LOL

Hayasaka Natsumi. Doctor. Single. Always kenna bird by Shinsuke.

My Review
Those who haven’t watched the normal series of Proposal Daisakusen should go and watch it 1st before watching this. This special episode is one year after the original Proposal Daisakusen series. As usual, some of the parts were damn funny. While Eri and Tsuru relationship is very touching. I don’t want to spoilt the story too much. Go watch it. In summary, this is what happened…

↑ Eri and Tsuru are supposed to get married.

↑ Tsuru, the groom, is ready.

↑ But the bride, Eri, was unsure of their relationship and she ran away on wedding day. Tsuru went to find a sissy to act as the bride. Damn LOL.

↑ So Kenzo need to go back in time again to help his friend Tsuru.

↑ Change the inital situation from Eri having a sad face…

↑ … into a smiling face. ^^

Eri suspected Tsuru having an affair. The rest of the gang also believed so. It’s until they found out the truth, they knew what true love means. The Tsuru also spoilt market one. I suggest girls to avoid watching this drama or they will have very high expectation of their husband. I hate people who spoilt market. LOL.

The special touch on the topic of marriage and what it really means. The show itself is quite touching. Because of Kenzo’s and Tsuru’s actions, people around them starts to see the value of marriage. It’s nice to get married. ^^

Score: 10/10

My Review
Iryu 2 is already season 2. If you have watched Iryu season 1, you will definately enjoy Iryu 2. If you haven’t watch Iryu season 1, you should watch it. It’s really a great show. The show is about politics in hospital, such as abandoning hard to cure patient to increase the hospital patient survival rate. The show portrays how dark hospitals are.

But the male lead, Asada Ryutaro, not only possess skills that are far superior than most doctors, but also possess a strong belief of what doctors should be. Because of his strong beliefs, superior skill, and talented teammates, they managed to save many patients who are abandoned by most hospitals. I really like the sound track of this drama. It really brings out the emotion they are trying to portray.

Score: 10/10
