Summer Nude was a fun little show to quick binge over a few days. I started watching it when it broadcast last summer, but took a break from it about 4 episodes in. When I picked it up, it got substantially better. In terms of the story, it starts out very cliche and romanticized. Yamapi plays his standard lovelorn guy who is way too nice for his own romantic well-being. He has a lot of facepalm moments, and I felt like he was a Disney character. The plot was a little unbelievable and tried sometimes to be 'soap-opera-ish' in the way they dealt with relationships. But the found a way to reel it back in before it became too over the top. But it's a little head-scratchy at times. The cast was amazing, finding a way to really create characters that fit their actors/actresses. Besides Yamapi's typecast character, everyone else really felt fresh. I liked how they got top notch guys that you can buy into. Even the characters in their little romance side story were cast. Especially Ricky! The music was fantastic! I'm a big fan of Tomohisa's music, so 'Summer Nude '13' was a big hit for me. They really created a nice smooth track list of BGM that didn't go over the top and distract from the story. This is not a show you rewatch though. It wasn't a bad show, but it wasn't great either, and the plot isn't the strong point of the show. It's the characters. This is one of those shows you watch once when you're feeling that drama fever and are caught up on your current shows. Overall, I liked the show. It's not a show you put at the top of your watch list, but it's a good watch on a boring day with nothing to do. Not much suspense or drama in this show, so it's not a must watch. But it's a fun watch if you have nothing better to do and have seen Densha Otoko or Proposal Daisakusen.
