Dry Rose Petals In Microwave

Beach Boys


As winter We hugged his cold arms, why not warm up a bit with a summer drama? The beach, barbecues, beer before the sun and sea backdrop of the story of a long pause, a deep breath in a suffocating world.

Beach Boys, it's a fantasy, a desire felt by all at one time or another, that desire to send all walks of life to enjoy with reckless abandon, without worrying about the future or that will say it. Who never had the impression of being immersed in the life as an endless whirlwind? School, school, work, responsibility, everything seems sometimes sequenced on a fast-paced, fast, so fast ... Break!

Kaito (Takenouchi Yutaka) is a bright young executive working for a multinational and life appears to have filled its benefits. His first professional failure encourages him to take a few days off in a boarding isolated seaside Conversely, Hiromi (Sorimachi Takashi) is a perfect dilettante, unemployed and vagrants since his girlfriend, tired of maintain, was fired, which will not detract from his inexhaustible joie de vivre. The meeting of two such contrasting personalities could not do that naturally sparks before the addition of opposites turning into a beautiful story of friendship. Nothing is more classic, indeed! And yet, how not to follow the adventures of this unlikely duo without a huge smile? The charisma of these actors is undeniable, especially since it is by far the androgynous sanitized and child thrown to Japanese teenagers today. Warning! When we talk Yutaka Takenouchi and Takashi Sorimachi, we speak of real Japanese male pure, 100% branded hunks, while fine musculature, tans and sunglasses. These ladies are preventable.

Also note performance, while authentic, minor roles, starting with Ryoko Hirosue interpreting Makoto young, schoolgirl seized by the first stirrings of adolescence. Also note the ever-bubbly Inamori Izumi (Haruko), in the role of big sister can be as wise as loose. The character of Masaru (Mike Maki), Makoto grandfather and owner of the boarding house where all these people agitated, also deserves a few words. Where we expected only the traditional father figure dispenser of good advice, the writer (Yoshikazu Okada) takes this opportunity to remind us that the urge to take stock of his life, erasing his regrets and to launch new challenges, can strike at any age.


Should we therefore consider Beach Boys as a series of dispensing a life lesson, perhaps a little easy and not very original? If we stick to the script and the theme for each episode is probably the fact that we can do. But it would indeed judge this drama from the wrong angle. In truth, and I certainly would not do another series, regardless of history and its unfolding, its twists and morals to be drawn. Incidentally, no matter what drama also dates from 1997 and it feels in the quality of realization. It offers its viewers a rare gift: the story by telling us a break, Beach Boys we created one as brief and artificial it is. Immersive so easily, it is indeed, for my taste, from the series's most refreshing I have ever seen. If I should emphasize that a major defect, all shame set hand, it is the melancholy that grabbed me when at the end of twelve episodes, I realized how Kaito and Hiromi would miss me .. .
