Lucky 7 (2013–2014)

I enjoyed the pilot but...

[7/10 · 5 October 2013]

This story is about people who bought lottery tickets as a team and won over 100 millions. We can see the process after winning lottery, learn the detail of rule of ' lottery pool', and of course, realize how their environments change. We can really enjoy it.

they're working at same store but there is another worker who didn't take part in the 'lottery pool', so what would he do with the fact.

And the night they knew they won it, the brothers in the team inflicted serious injury on the other member guy while they were faking store robbery. If it's revealed, what would happen?

But, I was shocked to hear that the series was canceled due to record low ratings. Maybe the reason is because the characters are less attractive and difficult to empathize with.

I wish they were a bit more attractive...

The Fosters (2013–2018)

The script filled with beautiful lines

[9/10 · 13 August 2013]

I really like this drama about a family. Their parents are two women who are lesbians, and four of their five children are adopted. Different from other drama, they are not rich, I mean, seems middle- income. But they look really happier than rich one, because they are truly loved each other.

In other dramas, they show us how much characters love each other with kissing ardently or, of course, making love.

But in this drama, it show us how much characters love each other with one's beautiful words. I can say we more strongly felt their feeling in the drama than other dramas.

Especially the poem of Noah St. John As Garret that is used in 'Morning After', How great it is!!!

One Piece Film Z (2012)

Compared to 'One Piece Film: Strong World'

[5/10 · 3 August 2013]

I really like this former movie 'Strong World', in which the writer of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, created the plot, character, and finally did as executive producer to check the detail of the whole story.

I was looking forward to see this movie 'One Piece Film Z', because I heard he was involved with the production too. But it turned out that he just seemed to design the characters in movie.

I'm really disappointed that the story provided a feeling of strangeness, and the characters such like the opposing soldiers, Ain or Binz, never appear in the original story. And the member of the Straw Hats in this movie, who the hell they are? I don't think they are same people in the TV Animation, I mean, they don't think ,act, and battle like this movie.

Well, If you think this movie is anything other than the TV Animation, it will be great, exciting, and entertaining one!

Twisted (2013–2014)

What is he?

[8/10 · 26 July 2013]

When two girls, Lacey and Jo, were playing in a garden, their best friend, Danny, came to them and he said "I've just killed my aunt".

This drama began when Danny was released from juvenile detention and entered school where Lacey and Jo go 5 years after this incident. Two girls are estranging each other. Jo had been annoyed at first she met him again, but they have returned to friends gradually. But Lacey tried to keep distance from him because she was scared of him as well as other students because of the incident. To make matters worse, that night he entered the best friend of Lacey, Regina, was killed.

The interesting points of this drama are that 1) Why did he kill his aunt. 2)Though the prime suspect in murder of Regina is Danny, did he kill her? 3) What will happen between Danny and the students who hates him and ridicule Jo, and 4) Danny seems good boy and doesn't seem hurt anyone else, but is he really sociopath?

Siberia (2013)

'Survivor' with option of 'death'

[7/10 · 20 July 2013]

To win this shows 'Siberia', the contestants have to survive in the nature, it means not to drop out nor forfeit, and then people get $500,000 divided to them. It's like 'Survivor'. But end of the Episode 1, one of the contestants was killed...

If you don't know it's drama, you would have mistaken it as Reality Show. But one thing that make this different from other reality shows is that contestants might die.

So, in others they just think about the way to win, it means to survive in the game. On the other hand, in this show they have to think about the way to survive in the game, and more, in real.

In threat of death and in front of TV camera, how are people going to move, and think?

I just wish it won't become predictable horror.
