kekkon dekinai otoko

the man who can't get married.

fastest drama i have ever completed, in around 24 hours. could have been less, if i hadn't gone to the library or watched the urawa-shimizu game.

this hilarious drama revolves around kuwano, played by abe hiroshi, a 40 year-old architect who is single because he doesnt want to get married, although his zero EQ, eccentricity and stubborness probably factor in as well.

bit by bit, the people around kuwano realise that there is some value to him after all, although not without alot of funny things happening in the process.

absolutely enjoyable, even without any pretty female lead. i mean, of the three women who featured most, two of them are in their 30s, and not exactly attractive( his doctor and his business partner). ryoko kuninaka plays his neighbour. she was 26 last year, but looked at least 3 years younger. even so, she doesnt really count as the lead actress.

in addition to all the laughter, they also show alot of nice house designs in the show, as well as delicious-looking food. the steaks kuwano cook look heavenly; watching him cook okonomiyaki makes you feel like going out to find an okonomiyaki place to eat immediately. not to mention the last episode, when he tucks into homemade sushi. they really show alot of food here.

and they also have a cute dog in the show. it DOES act.

if you are going to be a dog, make sure you have a pretty, doting owner like ryoko kuninaka.
