Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (2006)

This is one of my all time favourite drama and I've watched it 4-5 times already. And every single time, it never got boring!

This drama is very refreshing, very well written and highly entertaining. The synopsis might not really attract you, but just watch it, you'll get drawn into the series in no time at all.

Hiroshi Abe is definitely at his BEST here! He plays Kuwano-san, an accomplished architect who is rather quirky and sarcastic and definitely not a people's person. And I gotta say... Abe did a BRILLIANT job portraying this character. His acting here is SUPERB, really. His character is a mix between Jack Nicholson in "As Good As It Gets" and Hugh Laurie of "House M.D."

It is very interesting to see how Abe's character tries to interact with other people in different kind of situations as portrayed throughout the series. I especially love the interaction between him and Ken-chan, the neighbour's dog. If you haven't seen it, I'm telling you, you'll fall in love with Ken-chan, because he is the cutest thing ever!

The actress that plays Hayasaka-san is also amazing. She's able to "balance" Abe's Kuwano and they succesfully created a perfect on-screen chemistry together.

This drama is totally a must see!

the story of this drama is about a peculiar man who is different from the rest of the world in such a way that it completely blocks any chances of getting married. he meets people, and a dog and through his interactions he ends up making friends. it is a rather interesting plot for the time that it aired :3 however ever since i think various similar shows have been made that are kind of like this one. Like "Saito-san" and "Magerarenai Onna".

The acting was clearly very good in this drama. even the younger one, kuninaka did very well with her role. not excellently but very well. Abe hiroshi was at his excellence though. clearly he was by far the best in this.

I do not remember the music but i think it complimented the scenes in a way and it fit.

Since this is not a suspence drama and such I think rewatching it would still be entertaining. I have only watched it twice though.
