Cast and Characters
Hayami Mokomichi - Sexy sexy man. It's so strange seeing him act after seeing him doing Moco's kitchen like everyday on TV xD Nevertheless a great actor. Loved his character in this! A contrast to his character in Rebound ^^
Shirai Mirai - Did not like her character. She was so annoying and she wasn't necessarily needed I don't think. But I got through it without hating her ahaha Not seen her act in anything else but I do plan to watch Kagi no Kakatta Heya (which I did start watch in Japan when I was there but fell asleep so I missed half of episode one =/)
Higa Manami - Very pretty woman. I liked her character, quite amusing and I SO hoped she'd end up with Sensei! xDD
Ishiguri Hideo - I was shocked to see him in this as he looks older than a high school student and he's like taller than them all it seemed! But it worked with what his character was going through and such and I liked his character and he did a good acting job =]
Irie Jingi - Ahh yeah the one that seems to be confusing me lately... Do you know it's REALLY bad, I can't remember who he was in this! Nor who he was in the other doramas I've seen him in =/ Wait... if I remember he was shark boy in Risou? O gosh I need to start paying attention to him and figure who he actually is! *bangs head*
Suda Masaki - SHOULD'VE HAD MORE SCREEN TIME IMO! Haha xDD Also because I focused on where he was the entire time, the last episode was SO funny because he wasn't in any of the group shots or anything for the last two episodes and I was like 'where IS he?! WHERE IS HE?!' then all of a sudden he pops up and gets a close up camera shot and was like 'LACK OF CONTINUITY! *dies laughing* but at least he appeared in the last episode' xDD I liked his episode <3 DANCING <33
Sakamoto Shogo - I was excited to watch him in this because the only other thing I've seen him in is the Kuroshitsuji Musical and in promo shots as Echizen for Tenimyu xDD and I think he did a good job and played an interesting character =] Kudos to you! ^^
Yeah there's a BIG cast but I thought I'd just write about the main characters and the actors that I actually liked (we'd hate a rant review wouldn't we? Hence I mentioned all the ones I was looking forward to seeing and stuff xDD)
Review
Amazing dorama, so much fun! I actually full on laughed at parts and the ending was so justifyable! <3
I like these kind of shows that are obviously created just to show off up and coming (I'm gunna say they are all Heisei) talent and I think it's a great way to do it, in a HS setting because almost all the important people get their own parts or episodes and are able to show what they can do ^_^
Screencaptures
Same as the one in Tatta Hitotsu?! o_O
NO SUDA!
My favourite scene from Hammer Session! I replied this SO many times and still ended up jumping up and down the room with giddiness and laughter xDD
