A pretty interesting story of really interesting character
English isn't my native language, i'm still learning so sorry in advance for spelling mistakes or other type...
I'm not a big adept of japanese drama and well, I never succeed in whatching them until the last episode. But, I came accros this drama thanks to a youtube video about the intriguing love storyline of two character in the series. So I was curious and I found myself navigating through the 10 episodes in one day. It's the first japanese drama that I watched entirely and for two main reasons.
First, it was the story. Like I said, i'm not a big adept of japanese drama so i don't really know their standard for cliche or original storyline but the plot of "love shuffle" was a first for me, reminded me in some way a kind of reality show. At first, i thought it was romance story like how each character will find their better half. And it was true but it was also more than that. As i watched each episode, i understood that it was more about finding your better self than your better half. Through their matching game(Love sha !!), their friendship, their difference, and their past wounds, those participants in the love shuffle keep on discovering themselves qualities and shortcomings. And the friendship between the four neighbhour was relly interesting and heartwarming.
The second reason was the characters. Each character of the series was unique in their own way.:
- Usami was cheerful, innocent, funny but also strong willed. Even when i tagged him annoying guy in the start, i found myself attached to the character later on.
- Airu was a open-minded woman with sharp instincts, the only woman in the central squad of the drama
- Ojiro is a cool guy, it's a bit difficult to define him but he has great chemistry with all the women in the show
- And finally kikuta the psy, he is funny but mysterious
there is also the adulterous woman, the suicidal girl kairi, the pure soul Yukichi, and the rich girl Mei ( she is a bit annoying though). Each character had a story, motivation, doubt and each interaction between them (More precisely, each couple of the love shuffle game) was meaningful and had great chemistry. Through each matching of the game, the characters discovered a new side of them or faced their hidden wound.
PS : THIRD GREAT POINT, COMEDY WAS TOP NOTCH, I had a great laugh
