Entertaining, great visual element and uplifting soundtrack. The story is not new because there are a lot of dramas/movies/mangas about love, dream and friendship already. However, Buzzer Beat portrays all of these aspects at an age that the characters had first tasted the harsh reality and thus struggle to live with their maybe too quixotic dream and mending their own wounds suffered from fail relationships. I think this is Buzzer Beat’s unique side. I like that the characters came to realisations about their feeling fairly quickly, almost no self-denial and also very decisive about their path in relationships as well as life. This is very interesting because it almost felt like the characters know what path they should take because they have became more mature but the youth spirit inside of them kept urging them to not give up to the practical reality. About the acting, I think both leads have great chemistry together. While I love Yamashita Tomohisa’s acting in Kurosagi and Nobuta Wo Produce, I have to say he didn’t impress me here. Sometimes I feel his character a bit plain and uninteresting. But I think Kitagawa Keiko really suit her role all the side actors have done a great job as well. The music is very uplifting and fun although I would love to hear more classical soundtrack. Well the drama is entertaining to watch it for the first time. I would not re-watch it personally.
