日剧 - Oh! My Girl!!

There was a long weekend for the Christmas, despite going back to the office to finish up my work, I manage to finish one of the Jdrama for the autumn season. There isn't any famous actor nor actress in this drama (not really famous for those who not use to watch Jdrama), the rating was not really good as well ... average of 8.5 I think . However I just could not stop watching it one episode after another.


The story is about a young man Yamashita Koutaro was forced to live under one roof with a 6 years old girl, Sakurai Ann. Can you imagine what kind of situation could it be for a man who never take care of kids needs to play a role as a young father ??

It started with Hinako, Koutaro's elder sister who is a famous movie star in Japan left her daughter for Koutaro w/o informing him (what an irresponsible act... ) . Koutaro is 24, he is working as a part-timer journalist and at the same time working his way towards his dream - to become a novelist. A bachelor's lifestyle totally went wrong when Ann-chan came in to his life...

It may not be so bad at all by just living with a child, however the worst thing is the child is celebrity. She earns more than him, and of course spend more than he can ever imagine .. despite the high expenses, Koutaro needs to follow a set of guidance on taking care of young Ann-chan such as maintaining the ambient moisture , prepare the breakfast which is well bake raisin bread cut in to 28mm each slice precisely, taking care of her dog in an apartment which does not allow any pet .. etc..

It sounds like a comedy, but as you watch the drama you will feel the sense of warmth and love between Koutaro and Ann-chan. You will be inspired on raising a child, understand more deeply about children feelings as well as the parents'. Well , I'm not really a 100% family oriented person, but I enjoy this drama very much.

The theme song 時の足音 from Kobukuro (コブクロ) indeed is a very nice song. I like the lyrics whereby it describes human relationship as the minute hand and hour hand of a clock. Too bad that I couldn't find the English translation for the lyrics. You can click on the player in the music corner to listen to this song or simply click here for the PV.

This is a pretty old stuff. Some of you might have seen it before. For the ladies pls do not click on the explanation if you think you are not up to the creepy stuff ....

Most ppl will think that Natsumi-chan got dump by her bf. Somehow she went through a mysterious journey and met with some new friends and finally let go of her past relationships and started to move forward. Well if you think this way, you are wrong .... So what does it means? You may refer to this site for the explanation (I'm a bit lazy to write the whole thing ... :p) and make sure you try out the omake (おまけ).
