Roppongi Class” is recovering rapidly, but… Summer Drama Critics: “Why All of the Dramas Are Disappointing

Aida: I think the actors are a bit plain. If there had been someone with a big bang on the level of Kim Taku, the drama might have been more exciting.

F-Moto: Mr. Aida loves good looking guys, and I remember when the summer dramas started, he said “Teppachi! was interesting. ……

Aida Oh, yes, that happened. I had forgotten about it. I like Keita Machida, so I found the first episode interesting, but after 2 ……, no, not even 2 episodes, I dropped out after about 1.5 episodes. I dropped out after about episode 1.5. The story and acting were so lousy.

F-Moto: Now that we are used to seeing macho looking guys in Korean dramas, it is quite a hurdle to see a macho drama with Japanese men. I would really like to see Keita Machida in a love story like “Cherry Maho” (i.e., a man can become a wizard if he is a virgin until he is 30 years old).

N Moto: When the summer dramas this season ended, I think I saw a certain trend that just seemed to be an all-out disaster. The ones that failed miserably were those with scriptwriters known for their peculiarities, such as Ai Hashimoto’s “Tutor Traco” and Kento Hayashi & Taiga Nakano’s “Devil of First Love,” and the rest were those starring Johnny’s celebrities.

Aida: There is no need to do these types of works for fixed fans in TV dramas that are seen by a wide range of viewers. There is a certain number of needs for both types of drama, so it is better to broadcast them in drama for distribution.

Fumoto: Yes, perhaps TV dramas are not required to be maniacal. However, what the heck, the world gets excited when there are interesting dramas, so I’ll continue to look forward to the next season ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
