Today I am happy.
During the summer, in my spare time, I searched a jdrama sufficiently interesting to keep me attached to TV, with the desire to see the next episode. I found CHANGE.
It was a long time since I saw a jdrama so beautiful.
Episodes: 10
Broadcast network: Fuji TV
End theme song: Miles Away by Madonna
Main cast: Kimura Takuya, Fukatsu Eri, Terao Akira, Kato Rosa, Abe Hiroshi
The jdrama tells the story of a young and simple teacher, Asakura Keita, the son of a politician, that an ugly twist of fate drag (against his will) in the world of Japanese politics. The events will evolve to the point that he will find himself to run for the position of Prime Minister, with all things that this involves.
The jdrama, well-structured, exciting and full of hit scenes, tells wonderfully the Japanese politic, passing by the “historic” characters, always present in that world, to the young people, the corruption existing in political intrigues, the enthusiasm disappeared from some people and present in others. A strong weight is given to honesty of the human figure.
Asakura Keita is the innovation, helped by many people that working together will seek to improve the “system”.
The drama paints a very realistic image of the politics in general, not just the Japanese. Sometimes it may seem idealistic but if followed through to the end we realize how much is true and how much we would like it to reflect the reality of everyday life.
The soundtrack adds to jdrama enough to make it even more fascinating. The end theme song, sung by Madonna, is very simple but, in my opinion, very suitable to the context of jdrama. Congratulations to the authors for the end theme video, is brilliant.
So we should think like Asakura Keita, believe it to the end and … vote for him!
