[Discussion] Kekkon Dekinai Otoko

I watched it today and it was pretty ok, a bit different from the dramas that I usually watched. Abe Hiroshi san did a good job as always in his role and the actresses were too. Just I never thought it was going to have a idol*tsukamoto Takashi* in this drama.

But well, at least it shows a little bit of uniqueness on this drama. Hope people can say here on how they felt about this drama.

I just watched the first episode, i love it! It made me LOL a few times. pinch

Harhar, especially that last scene, haha.

I also think it's pretty sad how it also focuses on like his bachelor life by himself and same w/Natsumi and whatnot.

Mmm.. Tsukamotoooooo.. LMAO.

ps, this is MimiKitty from AAA forums Cool

Hilarious even with my rudimentary Japanese skills. Never woulda imagined Abe Hiroshi in *that* particular position Big Smile

I also liked the lead actress (especially her handling of polyp-removal tools Tongue

) I plan to stick with this drama, fansubs or not.

lol my first two responders! Ahh yes, I know you nissyxmisako supporter lol.

yea I cracked up on the pulp and how he's soo afraid of that tool. And I never thought his pants will go THAT down for that Laugh

Well it is sad and I hate when the young actresses and actors talk about getting girls, about their love life and saying how lonely they both -natsumi and abe san's character..why do i forget his name, are. It's like leave them be. But I want them together so she'll know when to treat him and Abe san won't run away this time lol.

But yeah, it akward to see a hot 41 year old, still unmarried with that talent. I guess his personality needs a bit of a fixup.

i haven't watched the first ep yet but it looks interesting. I have always enjoyed Abe san's performances.

So far I absolutely love it.

Especially the fact that Abe-san's character and the doctor aren't your typical characters for such plots. They're both not really young anymore. That's great.

HA! This drama is hilarious. This is why I love J-dramas...u can always expect something different. I think the doctor is pretty cute too.

Can anyone relate to this drama? I love how they focus on bachelorhood, and how one doesn't have to be married to be fulfilled. I am not sure if Abe-san's charachter's personality became like that because he is single for a long time, or whether he was always like that, and therefore he is single, but it is quite refreshing to see a charachter that is NOT desperate to get married. Personally, I think women automatically assume that men need women to do the household chores and stuff (esp Japanese women), and take it for granted that men can't function without women. When they see a man that is independent, and is able to take care of himself it drives them crazy. Of course, in episode 5, they show Abe's charachter sort of being over whelmed with work and life.

Being single and 30 years old, I sort of understands how he feels. I take pride in being single, being able to cook for myself, and taking care of household chores. While all of my single friends are living with their parents, and dying to get a GF, I am quite happy being single. Of course, when you get sick, it sucks that you are living by yourself... (which I found out the hard way).

I was just wondering if anyone knows what I am talking about...

I think that pressure to get married comes still from more traditional Asian/Middle Eastern cultures (Chinese, Korean, Indian, Jewish, etc) I thnk it's less for western cultures. Tho i guess in all cultures you'd be seen as odd for being 40 and never married ...

Hmmm... how about a drama about getting married just so that they can get divorced and be single and not be seen as odd? I think I just came up with an j-drama idea for the next season Laugh

Societal pressure aside, they have also shown that Abe Hiroshi's character hasn't found it in himself yet to reach for what he wants most. Maybe making himself vulnerable ranks up there for him with marching up to manga shelves and grabbing some Shounen Jump Smile

. The second pair of binoculars is proof he's working his courage up though. On a side note, the whole sightseeing trip was hilarious, "goshujin" included.

Wasn't planning to download this series, but since the comments on this drama are positive, i might as well download it-- Smile

I'm quite surprised (offtopic from Kekkon Dekinai Otoko) that the drama "Sapri" is not in the high rankings according to ORICON RANKINGS...out of Top 10, Sapri was...think it was 9th ( scratch

) whereas Kekkon Dekinai Otoko is "1st" ( Crazy

). I'm only saying this because it has such great casts.....perhaps the storyline is not s0 go0d...havn't seen it yet so can't really say anything though Whistling
