Unubore Deka (2010)

I found this drama very entertaining. It is meant to be a comedy and although it touches on very moving subjects, it never fails to be hilarious! All the characters are very well played and very funny. They are all silly in their own way and although the plot is rather redundant, the entertainment the characters give makes up for the rather boring plot. Near the end episodes of the drama, I found it particularly funny when Unubore sang his own theme song. If you are looking for a drama that is a good solid dectective plot then this is probably something you would not enjoy. But if you like comedy (not in a sophisticated way I suppose) then you would thoroughly enjoy this drama. :)

If you're looking for a lighthearted drama, something that's really funny and silly, then this is the drama for u. After a drama slump, or if you're looking around for a jdrama to watch but you don't know where to start, I'd definitely recommend this. Nagase is hilarious, but that's no surprise there. His character, Unubore, is so silly it's just so endearing. Each episode has Unubore falling in love with a criminal, and leaving them with an ultimatum each time. However, he's always left disappointed with their choice.

I thought the first episode was kinda boring, but after that it really grows on you and finds a place in your heart. Unubore's antics throughout the drama have me rolling. I just can't even deal. He's too ridiculous it's adorable. His dances, his "Ore wa ore da!", he even starts singing his own theme song.

Unubore Deka has a great cast, and it's just fun to watch. It's just a fun time waiting to be had. I loved the ending so much, I couldn't decide whether I should rate this a 9 or 8. The plot is interesting enough, but it's everything else that really makes this drama gold. If you love Nagase, you definitely have to check it out. If you've enjoyed Kudo Kankuro's previous jdramas (Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Tiger & Dragon, etc.), you'd probably like this too since he also wrote this.

Unubore Deka is just a good time. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for something not so serious, but still has substance and is funny as well.
