30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Narerurashii
While still a virgin at 30, Adachi Kiyoshi gains a magical power – the ability to read other people's minds by touching them. At first, he’s overwhelmed by his new ability, and it’s not proving to be helpful to him.
But that all changes when he accidentally touches Kurosawa Yuichi, whom he learns has romantic feelings for him. (MDL-2020)
I loved it, love it and will love it. My 2nd favorite drama of the year (after WataNagi). Pure, funny, cute, romantic, what is not to love?? My standard for romance in general is ruined. I am not even talking about Gay Romance... I mean Romance in general.
I watched each episode at least thrice (actually, only ep11... all the others I watched them at least a dozen of times). Sure it is short and it made me want for more, specially since I started in Week 2 and to wait for the next episode was a torture (didn't help that each episode ended in a cliffhanger! a genius move from the director/staff).
When I've read there was going to be a drama, it made me curious since I knew Machida Keita and I've only seen him in delinquent-type roles. And the cover looked so awkward! Perfect for a romance. At first I thought Akaso Eiji was too good-looking to play Adachi, but he did it so well and convincing (his innocence, his clumsiness, his "mousiness", making himself look small and cute) I was sold by the end of ep1.
Keita was perfect as Kurosawa, but it took me till ep02 to noticed it, unlike with Eiji. The pinning in his eyes was sooo good! He made me fall for him, so much I watched other dramas of him (and of Eiji, while waiting for the next episode); Keita is a real charmer and very good looking too. And the chemistry between him and Eiji **chef's kiss**. I could see him (Keita the actor) being a a real tease to Eiji behind the scenes.
In spite of watching all episodes several times, each time I watch it, I giggle like the first time. It is so funny and cute! Of course there are moments of 2nd hand embarrassment as well... like in ep03 in the rooftop... Adachi's face while Kurosawa was grabbing his neck **covers eyes** OMG I still cannot watch that part with a straight face. Or Kurosawa's thoughts of their first date *blushing** I didn't care about all the cliches, they were all done so cutely and sincerely I love each one of them.
The secondary characters were all charming and loveable; most of all, Fujisaki (Sato Ryo) and Rokkaku (Kusakawa Takuya). Real golden-hearted! And totally opposite one from the other. I also liked Tsuge (Akasa Kodai); a true friend and also very funny. Too bad most watched didn't like him; but I see that the haters are all J-dramas non-watchers so it can be also because of ignorance only. His acting is very Japanese-like and also one of the charms of Jdrama.
The OST! The angel-choir **chef's kiss** so funny... it made each imagination even funnier. The OP song is lovely and suits the drama perfectly. The ED song is nice as well, but I liked the OP more. I skipped the ED sequence several times tbh.
Only 2 things I was not a fan of: 1) of the actor who played Minato. His make-up and wig... and he looks like a teenager, and the reason why many hated poor Tsuge. Not his fault that Minato looked like a kid! There was only a 6-year-age difference between them in real life, but most complains were about Tsuge being a creep because he liked a "kid"... a "kid" of 22 years old **facepalm. And 2) while I am happy that this beautiful drama got recognition internationally, it was also a confirmation that it is better if Jdrama get their recognition locally only. Jfans -and yours truly- were super happy and satisfied with the ending. It suited the tone of the story: pure and all fade to black. I didn't need to see skinship and naked bodies to be convinced that both of them were on love; their actions, words, and eyes speak for themselves. But intl fans complained rudely about this, sending hate messages to the director, the mangaka, etc; even pointing fingers at Keita that his company didn't allow kisses between them; or that the actors themselves decided this. Really?? And that the show is "homophobic"... really?? Toxic mentality.
Now that is done, I am in a drama slump. I keep re-watching the episodes and reading reviews.. I missed them so much! And not even a week from the ending :(
**My rating: 10/10**
