Actually i'm not someone who intro to the action - gang drama / movie,but since most of the characters are HOTTIES,so i tried to watch this drama..

YOU WON'T REGRET IT AFTER YOU WATCH IT ! This drama is highly recommended for men since the story is about fight all the time :D

S.W.O.R.D is the initial of all 5 popular and rude group in each of their district.

1.Sanooh organization
Head : Cobra (He is freaking cool XDD)
The story focused on this group..Friendship,pain,betrayal,helping the newbie,accidentaly involve in drug trafficking.If you girl,i recommend you to prepare some tissues for last episode :DD

2.White Rascals
Leader : Rockey
This organization is what the girls dream about..They protect girl from getting hurt..They want girls to keep be 'whiter' rather than be 'black'..I think this group is the richest one,since they have their own bar..

3.Oya High School
School representative (i'm still laughing whenever hear this kind of them calling their fucking boss XDD):Murayama.
I think this group is the most extremely rude group among all..They decide their boss by someone who can receives 100 punches and defeat all the members..

4.Rude Boys
Leader : Smokey
My favorite gang among all group <3 <3 <3 They protect the nameless street..They claim theirselves as a 'family'..They won't any intruders touch and hurt their family..One of the reason why i watch this drama is Kubota san <3 <3 He is freaking cool at fighting :33..This group is the coolest one for me because their parkour show (no wonder,one of the cast is parkour practicional :D)
I think smokey is also the wisest leader among all leader..The true leader always considers the others as family,right ? You will find out why he is the wisest leader on around 7-8 episode..Unfortunately,he got weakness T__T

5.Daruma Family
Boss : Hinata
I did not more about this gang,but i think the boss is the scariest leader among all..They have ambition to destroy all the gang because of reverge..

Each episode always focused on a thing..Their fighting scene is so damn good and the camera angle went smoothly..Moreover their OST are also good as background song..

There is still S2 of this series and the movie for the conclusion of this series..I hope my review will help you guys ^^

Power Rangers for older teens

Wow, this was horrible!

I'd heard of the programme before and, being a fan of fighting films, TV shows and comics, I tracked down the first series that started it all... and it was awful!
The first two episodes are, frankly, an absolute mess. Overly ambitious in the worst possible way - the story is all over the place and makes little sense - the fight scenes, which should be the real star of the show, aren't very good, the budget is clearly low and the entire cast is chosen solely based on looks (you won't find any talent here!)... but, given how many spin-offs this has had, I figured I was missing something or that it simply improved exponentially, so I continued.

After the 4th episode, I really couldn't suffer any more of this trash.
It's supposed to be a hip programme about men fighting but it's more like the live-action version of an anime aimed at 8 year olds, with leads who look more like Korean femi-boy pop star wannabes than hard men!

Dropped.

I really love this movie! After all those other fighting and gang members movies, this is definitely one of the top movies that I really like! Definitely worth the time watching it!

Un drama sympathique pour passer le temps...

Ce petit drama est en somme assez sympathique, cependant, je n'ai pas accroché. Pourquoi? Sans doute car j'ai eu du mal à voir le but de l'histoire... Nous avons 5 gangs qui coexistent et des Yakuzas qui tentent de rompre l'équilibre mais hormis ça, nous n'avons pas grand-chose. Vous me direz dans ce genre de drama, il ne faut pas plus.
C'est vrai qu'ayant vu plusieurs du genre avant celui-ci, les codes ne changent pas. À l'époque, j'étais adolescente et j'imagine que mon état émotionnel était plus apte à apprécier ce genre d'histoire x'D (Les BG qu'ils choisissent en général pour jouer en tête d'affiche aidant pas mal...).

J'ai tout de même apprécié les acteurs dont je connaissais déjà un certain panel et je dois dire avoir adoré Smoky <3 (Bon, disons que j'aimais déjà l'acteur avant x'D mais il dégage un je ne sais quoi qui m'a fasciné.)
Noboru est un personnage qui m'a aussi intéressé, son évolution ainsi que l'amitié qui le lie à Cobra & Yamato m'a fait en partie continuer mon visionnage.

Alors, autant l'histoire ne m'a pas transcendée autant j'ai adoré l'OST ! J'ai apprécié chacune des musiques présentent dans le drama et aimé l'ambiance/la cadence qu'elles donnaient aux différentes confrontations/combats.

En outre, ce petit drama m'a permis de passé le temps et de me replonger dans le genre (même si ça n'a pas été un franc succès). Je verrai peut-être un jour la suite car malgré tout, je n'ai pas passé un moment désagréable.
