Koizora



I just finished watching Koizora (恋空), a Japanese drama on first love based on a true story starring Mizusawa Elena, Seto Koji, Aoi, and Miura Shohei. In China, there are these little stands that sell DVDs and I found this, read (or attempted to) the summary that was in Chinese, and decided that from what I got out of it, it sounded rather nice. So a couple of friends and I watched it together. The summary (in English, lucky you) is as follows (taken from DramaWiki):


Tahara Mika is an ordinary high school girl. One day, out of the blue, one of
her classmates kisses her. His name is Sakurai Hiroki also known as Hiro. Hiro
stands out because of his bleached hair and piercing. Apparently he is also
dating someone. Mika is shocked and hurt that her first kiss had to happen this
way. She desperately tries to forget about it. Then, her friend tells her that
she should find somebody else and suggests Tatsuya, another boy in their class.
However, before she even realizes it, Mika is already in love...

It's on the same parallel as 1 Litre of Tears - but the roles are switched and it's shorter (only 6 episodes). It's pretty interesting and cute and worth watching if you're up for a short and sweet drama. Warning though: it's sad. There's also a movie version of this, but I haven't watched it yet.
