[J vs K] Operation Proposal Daisakusen
This is one of the reasons I have this private blog... To talk about the shows I watched that I shouldn't have been able to watch. Ready for some quick yammering?
Years ago I watched a show called Proposal Daisakusen. It is a Japanese drama and it starred an actor I had watched in another show (Nobota wo Produce). So I was primed to like it. And I did.
PLOT (according to me):
Guy is at his female friend's wedding. Thing is he's been in love with his friend since high school. So an angel at the church, sensing his regret, but seeing his inability to speak up, gives him a chance to go back in time via pictures presented at the reception dinner to stop the wedding from happening. All the pictures are at a time he messed up having a relationship with her.
At first you're like, "There's a reason she is marrying the guy and those two never went out. It probably just one sided love from him." Then the show progresses and you realize he wasn't the only one not taking risks and hiding feelings. In fact the groom, though a good guy, seems to be more of a comfort/#2 choice.
Anyways, this show was one of those I watched when I started watching J shows. It was one of the ones I didn't roll my eyes at and I eagerly went "NEXT EPISODE!" But... This show isn't one of my addictions. Hana Kimi and Hana Yori Dango... ADDICTED! I'll try watching any and everything having to do with them.
That brings us to Operation Proposal available on Hulu to watch. Operation Proposal is the Korean version of Proposal Daisakusen. And I feel, "Been there, done that." On the other hand, without even watching it, I have to recommend this show to others. Seriously. I like the Japanese version, and I have faith in the Koreans doing a great version of it. So, yeah. I recommend a show I never watched. Though if I ever watch it again I'd stick with the J, just cause.
I'm weird.
