Proposal Daisakusen [プロポーズ大作戦] touching moments ~ [Rating: 10/10] The reason I give this a 10 is because I don't rate drama based on any criteria but my personal enjoyment at the end of the series.
Sure, every episode starts and end with somewhat expected result but the process of each moment in Ken's life was excited. Perhaps it was their acting prowess that moved me emotionally with each passing moments in their life (characters').
After I've finished watching this drama, looking back, there were a few things that seemed really kinda illogical - e.g. Ken, mentally 23 years old yet he was unable to confess to Rei, who his world evolves around, on several occasions. Then Rei, if she loves him so deeply for such a long time (ever since 9th grade love letter incident) why didn't she accept his feelings expressed at several pts in the drama?
If they are as reserved as the show made them out to be, surely a kiss (which none of them felt annoyed) or when he said "if I hit the target, would you go out with me?" ?
or before she accepted the proposal from Tada-sensei, he did propose to her. Kinda strange don't you think? especially when both of them have strong feeling for each other for such a long time as well.
Maybe cultural difference is the main reason which make me feel annoyed at those interactions but...
In the end, I still thoroughly enjoyed it - some excellent acting skills at the end which made me feel like crying on more than one occasion. I really thought the drama would end tragically - which would be a fine ending as well - though cliched happy ending type made me feel happier (strange isn't it ^^~)
anywayz :P excuse my ranting - overall, it's an excellent drama in that you can lightly enjoy whacky moments yet there are still serious undertone of regrets, romance etc :)
