starring my fave Japanese actress 深田恭子 Fukada Kyoko! i've been liking her since sec 4 when i watched "Don't be a Cry Baby". was drawn to her cute outlook and yet strong-willed character. then i like her even more after watching "To Heart", "Imagine", "God, please give me a little more time", etc. unfortunately, many of her later works turned out to be quite crappy. but luckily, this one here is really quite nice!
in 《幸せになりたい!》, once again, we see Kyoko portraying a girl who, in spite of all the difficulties, is full of fighting spirit and never gives up easily. ever since the demise of her father, high school student 浅田光 (深田恭子) was forced to repay all the debts her father has incurred, as well as taking care of her 2 younger brothers and bed-ridden mother. in fact, the family was so poor that they didn't even have any food to eat, and 光 was almost forced by the loan sharks to sell her body. gee~ sounds like quite a cliche tragedy eh?
fortunately, she was recused by 永井雅子 (松下由樹), a producer in UBS television. being a woman with a high position in a male-dominated environment, 雅子 needed to prove her true capability by achieving a minimum of 20% viewership rating for her dorama. she then engaged 光 as her assistant, and together they worked hard towards producing a successful dorama.
and hence the story centers around the making of a dorama... from choosing of a main theme, to selecting scriptwriter, cast... and then the actual filming. really interesting! after watching so many doramas myself, now then i know how it's actually being produced. can also see the efforts put in by the producers, how they overcome various obstacles and the team spirit of the filming crew. it's so nice to watch this kinda dorama which focus on a particular job. Japanese ppl always give me the feeling of being really hardworking. inspiring~!
there was also a part which made me cry... tt's when 光's mother eventually died of the illness, and 雅子 was reading the mother's last letter to her. *sniffs* quite touching~
feels quite motivated by this show... when will i be able to find a job that i like and enjoy doing and dun mind putting all effort into??
私も... 幸せになりたい!!
