Proposal Daisakusen/Operation Love/プロポーズ大作戦

(I'm Back :)
Genre: Romance/Drama
Language: Japanese

Iwase Ken realizes, only too late, that he has feelings for his best friend, Nagasawa Masami. On her wedding day, just as the slideshow starts at their reception, everything freezes! Iwase Ken discovers that the angel, of the church, will give him a chance to go back in time. He can go back to the pictures in the slideshow, and change the endings, so that they are happier. He does his best as he goes through the pictures, from highschool to college.
But can Ken really change the past?

Review:
Hmm I liked this one. Didn't love the lead girl, thought she was a little...too needy? However I'm a Yamapi fan. It is rather...drawn out though. However there are some heart-warming moments. The whole idea is at least a little original. The angel is pretty funny too. "Hallelujah Chance!" fuufuufuu....

Last year in Japan, I started to watch the Proposal Daisakusen Special....however I was dead tired (like most nights) and had to go to bed :(. It was a lot tougher without subs too...I later watched the Special back home, it wasn't the best...>_>;

Natsumi's favorite time of the day is lunch! Food is one of her passions, and she loves trying new restaurants. One day she runs into a distraught young man, Kenichiro, who asks her to pose as his fiance. Somehow she agrees to it, and ends up being abandoned by him....in front of his family! His brothers feel obliged to take care of her, and she begins working at their family restaurant.
Over time all the brothers start to care for Natsumi.
Who will Natsumi's heart really beat for, of all the brothers?

Review:
Wow, I watched this one a long time ago.
Still, if my memory serves me well, this was a cute series.
Normal dramas have long shots of good-looking fellows,
or the heroine, this one has long, dreamy shots on....food xD.
They really get across the "in-a-restaurant" feel,
and watching will often make you hungry!
The ending isn't great, but that's not completely unusual for this kind of show.
I recognized a few of the minor actors, like: Ito Misaki(Kiken Na Aniki), Yamada Takayuki (Water Boys), and Yamapi...(Who doesn't know this guy?!) :).
In closing, its a okay way to waste 12 hours.
Go ahead watch the story unfold, there's even a bit of action, involving a criminal!
