Love shuffle

The only reason which I watched this was because of 'chiaki senpai' from Nodame cantabile. Pretty disapponted again because I love to see him cool and smart, not silly and stupid. The storyline of love shuffle is pretty refreshing, but not very entertaining and disappointing for a Japanese drama with a pretty well-known cast.

Sypnosis from wiki
Usami Kei is a salaryman who has risen in status due to his engagement with Mei, the wealthy daughter of his company's president. Shortly after she breaks off the engagement, a power failure leaves him stuck in the elevator of his apartment building. Trapped with him are three others living on the same floor - Airu, a trilingual interpreter, Ojiro, a model photographer, and Masato, a psychiatrist. While waiting, their conversation hits upon their love lives and the question of whether there is truly only one fated partner for everyone. As a result, they decide to try "shuffling" their relationships with each other.

To summarise it, it's about 4 neighbours who came up with the idea of exchanging partners in their relationships. A pretty stupid idea to be the main basis for a drama because I soon got tired of it.

The only person who caught my eye in this drama was Matsuda Shota, a.k.a. Sojiro in Hana yori dango. Though I didn't quite like him in HYD, he was perfect in Love Shuffle. The badboy with a soft side- totally my kind! Plus, his hair in Love shuffle was much better than his weird hair in HYD.
