Samurai Sensei Epi 2
Nov. 10th, 2015 08:08 pmHonestly, I thought of dropping this drama because... how many times we've seen Ryo-chan in samurai get-up? And time slip to boot! Remember Chonmage Purin? He does look good for a samurai, but he's definitely not at Okada Junichi level, unfortunately. But I'm curious on Kamiki Ryunozuke in this drama, so I decided to give it a try. First episode is rather boring because it's just Takechi sulking about his situation and not happy with the modern Japan's people does not really carry the same 'value' as him (traditional samurai value). But 2nd episode gets interesting because...

Ah, it's Soujiro! with umbrella this time.

Well, he looks cool with it.
Things picked up after this episode, it's more lively and entertaining... so far... a very light watch, and I'm still warry that Kamiki will swallow Ryo-chan because his Sakamoto Ryoma character is very fluid as in his portrayal really reminds me of Fukuyama's in Ryomaden from the over the top gesture, wits, curiousity and thirst of knowledge, which is his too-well assimilation to the Heisei era makes so much sense (the use of chou-..., ....-ssu, which is actually how youngsters talk, not the older generation, and definitely not samurai language). Since this is not the first time Ryo-chan does a samurai role, the only thing I notice is that he's more firm in his samurai conduct compared to previous role. Maybe it's because in here he's portraying Takechi Hanpeita? Not sure. But light entertainment... is always needed to weed out any stress.
