Last Friends

Managed to finish this drama within 2 days. Not because it was a really nice one, but because I was fastforwarding it so much that I finished it in such a short time. A total of 11 episodes, I was actually wishing for more twist and excitement.

Main reason of watching: RYO-chan

Sypnosis for Last Friends from wiki
Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru's mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life.

Yup, it all revolves about domestic violence. I'm currently in the midst of waiting for Orthros no Inu to finish airing and Ryo looked so good in there! Ryo looked good in Last friends, but i ended up hating his character and that is so unhealthy! It totally spoilt his image (for me that is).

Overall, this drama is weird. I think its from the same production as Innocent Love which is why I didn't quite like this.

edit:
I just realised that one of the female lead, Ueno Juri (the boyish girl) is actually the girl from Rainbow song with Hayato Ichihara and I totally loved her in that movie!

Rating: 4/10. no romance. boring plot. violent ryo =(
