| narimiya hiroki |
i'm totally a fan of this guy. i've seen him in gokusen, bloody monday, NANA and then hachimitsu to kuroba. definitely admire his acting (and his killer smile..huhu..)

the story line:
adaptation from a manga of the same title, the story revolves around life of shinagawa daichi (narimiya hiroki), an ex-delinquent (they called it yankee) who hopes to succeed his father's clinic. yes. he wants to become a doctor. because he was always bullied by his older sister, he fights others to be strong. well, he didn't intend to be bad, but being a fighter who never loss a fight makes him a target for those other deemed to be no1 gangster. and the best part is, he always win the fights, making other people to marks him as a bad person. during his last fight to save his friend, he was mistaken as Hurricane Ada, another tough fighter who never losses any battle.
so one thing led to another. daichi end up in a best school with a bad reputation as an ex-delinquent and met Adachi Hana/the real Hurricane Ada (naka riisa), also an ex-delinquent who is trying to build a new reputation as a 'normal girl'. together, they faced the challenges to change other classmates perspective towards yankee. besides them, another excellent student, Izumi Gaku (kanata hongo)..who despise Daichi, also shares the same secret.
the opinion:
overall, the story tackles the issues of accepting other's as who they are, teenage parents relationship, friendship and also finding the purpose of life. it was fun to watch. well, i had always admire narimiya's acting. he always manage to play his character well eventhough as supporting actor. he fought well too..waaa...i'm totally becoming his fan!! the downside however, is narimiya kun looks odd playing a high school student (he's 27!!) along with other younger cast selection like kanata hongo (19) and naka riisa (21). if only the drama was filmed 10 years back, he would have been perfect!
where to watch??
well, i'm not sure if it is shown in any tv channels in Malaysia. maybe you can try any streaming sites for japan drama like mysoju.
anyway, do watch this drama. it's hillarious and it offers a deep meaning to think about.
