Natsuniji Episode 1
Long title is long, but anyway, I kinda miss posting so I'm kinda doing it for the first episode:
Just a fast summary, though xD but maybe I would add more later.
The lead:
Kusonoki Taiga: son of famous actor Kusunoki Kotaru and former actress Himejima Machiko.
The rival:
Irabu Joe
Even his smile reminds me of Eita :D
Anyway, cocky guy is cocky, so I actually want to punch his face. If actors like that do exist in real world, I would hate them all.
Ever since he was a child, Taiga always wanted to be an actor, just like his father. He even went to a university in New York to study acting, and entered the same agency of his father. But people always see him as 'Kusunoki Kotaro's son', that he always felt insecure of his position.
Nanahikari 2nd generation actor: Kusunoki Taiga
But lol, do sons/daughters of actors actually introduced as "Second generation actor" or as "Nana hikari"? I kinda find it funny, since branding someone as Nana hikari is kinda depressing >.> Like you didn't/can't create a name of your own since people see you because of someone else. I can understand Taiga's angst.
Their meeting:
While sky diving, Taiga's parachute controller snapped, and he wondered where the wind will take him.
He doesn't want the sea, nor someone's house, so the wind took him to a faraway tree. Lucky tree.
And there, the fateful meeting: tsundere meets oshaberi namaiki onna
But, he couldn't forget the woman he calls cheeky...
The opening:
A total eye candy xD I'm hooked to Love Rainbow, right now. Totally Arashi-ppoi song.
The family:
Kusunoki family is such a happy family after all ^__^ and Taiga's seriousness kinda mars it, lolz xD
The love interest:
Mature and perky. Takeuchi Yuko, you are so perfect *___*
I actually wanted to see you again. Actually...I am your father's big fan!
And that totally kills Taiga's excitement.
--
I kinda expected that his father will die in this episode since his appearance in the drama is a special one xD
--
It turned out that Kitamura Shiori will be working in his company, and being the tsundere that he is, Taiga was totally against it:
S: You cried really hard.
T: HA?!!...EH?!
S: *smirk*
T: Two months ago, you went to my father's grave, didn't you?
S: Who knows...
T: That was...an act.
S: What?
T: There's no way I would cry for real at such place, right?! I just want to show my father - my crying act.
S: If that's so...it was such a fantastic performance.
He got the price of a punch when he attempted to kiss her.
Not yet recovered from the punch, he got perhaps the greatest shock of the day: She has a daughter.
And while I mumble like that, I...totally fell in love with you, who act violently, smile a lot, talk a lot and shed tears beautifully.

I will definitely watch this drama til the end ^__^ Indeed, a romance perfect for summer, and I can already see the conflicts that will arise in the story.

And lastly, last week's VS Arashi is so much fun xD.
I agree with Sho:
Aiba actually summarized it in one sentence (spoiler?)
