Gomenne Seishun! (2014)

Scherza coi fanti e lascia stare i santi.

Anche a me non è piaciuto, che per raccontare una storia di liceali e scuole private, abbiano tirato in ballo buddismo e cattolicesimo in modo sguaiato, grottesco e antistorico.
Quindi trama e sceneggiatura molto scadenti, demenziali e prive di sostanza.
Di contro, gli attori sono molto bravi, il protagonista maschile, bruttino, ha comunque uno sguardo e un sorriso che bucano lo schermo, la protagonista femminile è molto energica e simpatica ... i loro personaggi, come quelli degli altri attori, sono ben recitati e alla fine ti portano a vedere come andrà a finire la storia.
Serie che, una volta, vista, non riguarderò sicuramente.

I wacthed Gomenne Seishun! because it starred two of my favourite japanese actors: Hikari Mitsushima and Ryo Nishikido. And it was pretty good.

The story is very original and quirky, I really liked it. It was very funny and entertaining. The story also tackles on some very important issues like discrimination, bullying and LGBT, which rarely appear in japanese dramas. What's more, they were tackled with a surprising seriousness, and that was great.

The cast was great. Ryo Nishikido and Hikari Mitsushima were fantastic, as I expected. The rest of the cast was also great, but Yuta Koseki deserves a special mention for his performance in episode 8.

The music was nothing special, but the theme song by Kanjani8 was pretty good.

In conclusion, Gomenne Seishun! is a very funny and well acted drama that also has a serious side when it tackles on some very important issues, which I appreciated.
