Hallelujah~~ Chance!

That's actually the spell casted by the main character every time he went back to the past in the Japanese Drama: プロポーズ大作戦 - Operation Love (求婚大作戰)

11 episodes is the standard of Japanese TV drama. I get used to this length as you just get enough and fed-up possibly, especially if you watch them continuously, you still have 1/2 a day to sleep! ;p

The story, about a pair of 'green bamboo horse' couple (Ken & Rei) who never claimed their love until the girl get married to someone. Such an old fashion setting must say, but the old tricks still work... especially to audience who want to know what's the difference between them, or they might have similar experience..?!

Alright...! I must admit that without the pretty actress, the show would not be attractive at all. She is 長澤 まさみ (as Rei), the one who played he movie Touch as 淺倉南 (which looks quite match the comic..!)

The story was something like back to the future. The leading actor went to the past and tried to
rectify what currently happened.

1. Regret of the past (further points in pt. 2)
The thing that would stir up most of the audience's resonance as everyone got something in the past which might like to change so to have a better life?! Would that be related to their dissatisfaction of what happen in their current life? The demon did speak something wisdom,' If you hate what the past did to now, why not think of changing now for the future.' (please bear my poor translation >_<). 2. Memory It is one of the thing that could help or could kill a person. It really depends how you treat. interpret it. Rei did treated it precious while her husband just thought of the future which showed out the difference between their thought. Ken just kept blaming himself of not doing things at the right time and was being challenged by the demon that the right time should be now..! 3. Chance Who made it? Fate? Own's character? Timing? 'Do things at the right time in the right place.' is never been easy. I just wondered, for a Japanese hi-school background drama, would there be out of chance that Ken missed to show his love to Rei during the whole school days and up to the point of marriage? Where is the Valentine's Day? How about the Christmas Day? How about the Birthday other than the one with Ken had the baseball player figure and the 20 y.o. of Rei... One can argue that Ken could only went back to the photos shown in the wedding, the other days would make no difference for the situation even he did all things include confession?! Well, I better accept the fact other than argue with the story..! >_< href="http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/nodame/index.html">Nodame Cantabile would be more fun to watch.... though it is a purely a comedy originally from the manga.. and it's musical too! (bias ;p)
