i love these asian dramas which tells about the each person’s desire to succeed in each dream that they chosen. Most of the dramas have this deception aspect/ no one must find out or im gone.
Engine : About a defunct F1 racer who went back to Japan to restart his career but was surprised to get into a race he never planned to get into- the race of life.
Coffee Prince ( Korean) : About a street- smart girl who struggled everyday to feed her family and suddenly found herself involved in a scheme where in she is mistaken as a boy. She met a man who needed to start a coffee shop and was hired as a boy- the twist is that the manager fell in love with her not knowing she is a girl. She grew to love making coffee so much that could not bear to reveal the truth. and so the story thickens.
Lunch Queen : Natsumi loves lunch. By chance she starts working for “Kitchen Macaroni”, posing as the fiance of the owner’s eldest son, Kenichiro. Kenichiro’s father Kenzo and his three younger brothers – Yujiro, Junzaburo, and Koshiro – run the restaurant, famous for its omelet. Also working at the restaurant are Mamoru, a chef, and Minoru, a live-in apprentice cook. Not everyone has a liking to Natsumi at first, but over time they will surely fall in love with her.
Hotaru Hikari : Hotaru leads a double life at work and at home. Nobody knew this fact except a man( who later turned out to be his boss at work ) came to live with her in the house. What i liked here is how Hotaru was able to overcome the obstacles in her work which propelled her to strive harder. I hated though her unwillingness to change her hygiene habits completely; plus her reactions to normal social encounters are so contrived and exaggerated like talking to oneself while someone is talking to her. in these sense its not so cute as Nodame Cantabile. Nodame character’s expression are suited to her personality and to the story but Hotaru seems almost unbelievable. Hotaru has a career and Nodame is still finding out about herself that’s why her messy habits maybe believable.
Hana Kimi – The drama is based on the popular manga of the same name by Nakajo Hisaya, which has already been dramatized in Taiwan. Horikita plays the protagonist Ashiya Mizuki, a Japanese girl in the U.S. who one day sees the young athlete Sano Izumi (Oguri) compete in the high jump on television. She begins to idolize him, and decides to move to Japan to attend the same school as him. However, Izumi goes to an all-boys school, so Mizuki disguises herself as a boy to achieve her dream of being with her idol.
Nobuta wo Produce Kiritani Shuji is the popular guy who gets along with everyone, from the jerks to the nerds to the just plain weird. The one person Shuji cannot stand is Kusano Akira. To Shuji, Akira is just plain annoying. He laughs, talks and acts funny. Things heat up when a new student comes to school. Her name is Kotani Nobuko, a girl who has no self confidence at all and is content at being made fun of and bullied in school. Shuji and Akira come to an accord that in order to make use of their “youth” they will “produce” Nobuko as the next popular girl. One of the conditions, however, is that nobody should find out that they are working together as a team to make this concept possible. Unveiled here is the story of true friendship between three unlikely candidates who would not have been friends if not given the special circumstances.
Nodame Cantabile – Based on the hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya, this is a fun-filled quirky romantic story of two very opposite people.
Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.
Shinichi Chiaki, is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia.
They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki transfers into the Conductor Division, leads a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people’s musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.
