[review]: Zenkai Girl - 全開ガール

[rosa_elefante]

Though I should post first Umareru review... who cares XD

No money, no education, a star of good-looking guys? A guy like that is out of the question, right?
LAST. FAMOUS. WORDS.

Ayukawa wakaba (Aragaki Yui) is a young lawyer with high hopes for her future: her dream is to become a super rich woman and to be the 'Hawk of Manhattan". But there's a reason behind her love for money: she's always leaded a poor life with her father, and Law was the only thing she could rely on.
Somehow, she's accepted into a famous law firm, but, for the trial period, she has to babysit the 5 years old daughter of her boss, Hinata.
But Wakaba isn't discouraged: she'll do this job, like any job, with all her might.

Yamada Sota (Nishikido Ryo) is a young, nice single father, and his son, Piitaro, is Hinata's classmate and friend. Actually, Piitaro isn't Sota's real son, but the son of his ex-wike, wich runs away some time ago, leaving the child behind.
Even so, Sota and Piitaro really love each other, just a real father-son couple.
Sota is really a nice man, always thinking more at the others than himself.

Their first encounter isn't so great, since Wakaba mistakes Sota for a sexual harasser. And, even after this, Wakaba's proud and often silly nature makes her dislike, somohow, a man like Sota, always so pure and stupidly nice with other people.
And while Sota is immediactly attracted by her, Wakaba repeats to everyone: "My ideal type of man is a man with money and social status who HATES children"
So... almost the opposite of Sota XD
But... Sota makes her feel something; at first she denies everything, gets angry and frustrated, and starts calling him Pill-bug (♥♥♥). After some time... well, Wakaba isn't stupid and isn't a bitch either: she admits her feelings for him.
But nothing is simple, for those two... :(

Let's say that I like every single character of this drama; even Soyoko and Shindo sensei (who is kinda hot *_*. They're all good people, at the end!
Sota is an adorable man. Maybe a bit too 'passive', but so nice that you just HAVE to love him.
Well, maybe in the last 2-3 episodes, you start hating him (I was all the time 'Sotaaaaa... WTF ARE YOU DOING?????), but he really is adorable <3
And Ryo was simply awesome... to the point that his hotness may distract you from the plot O_O No, really, he's not only a beautiful man, but also a wonderful actor!
But he has that killer smile... *melts*
I'm happy they give him such a nice role

Wakaba... I really feel her near to me.
Not that we're alike in every single thing, but... I really like her, and, most important, I kinda understand her choicces. She's so human! Not so honest with herself, maybe, and she's also a 'I-know-all', but I really can't blame her.
And somethimes she's just an asshole, but a BRILLIANT one XD
My favourite example: children at the kindergarten will take care of some cute, little chicks.
Wakaba's comment (in front of all the children)

"If it was up to me, I would no be hesitant to eat it"



*SHOCK*

She's a natural genius.

And I love the pair Sota/Wakaba (though I think the pair Shindo/Wakaba would be really interesting): so differen from each other, but so perfect togheter. Some scenes with the two of them are wonderful: so intense, so heartbreacking.

A special mention for 2 of the better things of this drama: the two children, Piitaro and Hinata.

Piitaro is a cute, direct boy: he likes Hinata and does not hesitate to confess to her in front of everyone, just because he wants to show to his father 'how to confes properly' XD (and really, Sota should learn from him!)
He and Sota are two cute smiling idiots who loves each other ♥

Hinata is wonderful. She rocks XD
She's wise and mature, like a grown up.. but without all those stupid 'rules' and preconceptions. She understands a lot and says always the right thing.
And is wonderful the relationship between her and Piitaro T_T

I totally want a drama about them setted in the future *_*

Special mention - part2: Wakaba's father.
That man is so wonderful that I cried everytime he appeared on the screen. It was all too sweet T_T
Otousan, you really win at life T___T
Special mention - part3: Ryo's kiss.
We're not used to see a kiss like that in jdramas (well, real kisses are different, but still XD)

And I've finished XD
Tbh, for the first 2 episodes, I wasn't so enthusiastic about it. Now, is one of my favourite dramas! I really love it!
It's funny, heartwarming and heartbreacking at the same time *_*

I totally recomend it!

*__* che bella review! Giustappunto che ho finito di vedere il drama da poco quindi me la sono perfettamente goduta!
Hai messo delle gifs e screencaps interessanti, perché trattano molti momenti che ho preferito nel drama, molte delle scene che preferisco *__*
Leggendo la review non potevo non mettermi a sorridere per il tuo entusiasmo!
Ah che poi, sì, la menzione al bacio merita davvero davvero, perché è il primo drama che vedo in cui il bacio ha una parvenza di 'normalità' per lo meno, adatto alla situazione recitativa! Grande Ryo <3
I suoi sorrisi, peraltro potrebbero tranquillamente fare a gara con quelli di Nino che io amo immensamente <3 <3

E' stato un piacere leggerti, cara *-*

Credo che l'entusiasmo derivi dal fatto che inizialmente non mi aspettavo proprio che mi sarebbe piaciuto così.
Un po' come kaibutsu-kun, forse... no, nemmeno, perchè per quello all'inizio ero scettica, poi ho visto la prima puntata e mi è piaciuta. Mentre qui avevo visto il trailer e vari promo ed ero tutta emozionata 'ohohohoh, sembra carino!', poi ho visto le prime 3, e... bo, non mi diceva nulla. Ero molto alla 'mah, continuo giusto perchè Ryo è splendido e perchè alcune scene sono simpatiche'
Dalla quarta in po, è stato amore *_*

E il bacio... e bravo Ryo, hai sorpreso tutti! Sembrava quasi qualcosa di normale!!!

Oddio che bella review *__* mi hai fatto venire una voglia pazzesca di vedere questo drama (che era già nella mia lista, immediatamente dopo i drama arashici che ancora non ho visto, però xD)! Il sorriso di Ryo e quel bacio mi hanno stesa X____X finalmente un bacio vero, cavolo!

[rosa-elefante.livejournal.com]

Guardalo guardalo guardalo (quando avrai tempo/voglia XD), a me è piaciuto molto! (non si era capito, immagino...)

Non ti dico com'ero quando ho visto la scena del bacio. Più o meno è stata la stessa reazione che ho avuto guardando per la prima volta il concerto del 5x10, quando inizia il solo di Aiba: SHOCK! Seguito da gioia e tripudio

I think I just spoiled myself!!! xD I really want to see this drama :D
