Saigo no Yakusoku (2010)

I really liked this drama special, not because I am a screaming fan girl of Arashi, but because I really enjoyed it. I was sure that the drama would be corny, and that majority of the drama would be focused on Matsumoto. ( I really don't know why I thought that) Anyway I was so surprised everyone (except Aiba) seemed to act really well, and although there is no character development, it is a really good story with underlying plots and surprises. Throughout the whole thing I was trying to guess the reasons and who was involved but I didn't get it quite right, so I was in suspense the whole time. I recommend this as a break from some of the dramas that take long to develop and finish. It's like a one night stand- but in a good way.

Not sure what I was expecting from this special because of..well, Arashi. I usually don't expect much from movies/dramas/specials that have all Arashi memebers. But I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this.

Story was interesting. Not anything too exciting. But it really kept me hooked. The whole time I was trying to guess the outcome, while already having a few suspicions, but I couldn't figure it out completely which made me want to keep watching.

Besides Arashi, I liked the supporting cast. I especially liked Kuroki Meisa. I don't know what it is about her, but I really like her. The supporting cast kept giving hints about certain things that was happening and kept making me wanting to guess what was coming next.

This was good to watch when you are bored or in a slump from your other dramas. Would definitely recommend this, especially if you like Arashi (;
