Drama Review : Nobuta wo Produce


Aaa....another drama finished. Like the others, I finally had the chance to watch this drama. It also helped me a lot in variating my boring days lately.

The drama is about the the friendly realtionships between three students, two boys and a girl. It didn't start out that easily though. Things all started when the girl, whos was really timid and shy moved to a school where Shuuji and Akira, the two boys attended. with her timid nature, she sure was easily picked up by others. Because of this, Shuuji decided to remake her into a different person so that she can be more confident and attractive to others. Akira joined in to produce the girl who is named Kotani Nobuko into Nobuta.

Everything started progressing slowly. She was still teased and picked up, but both Shuuji and Akira found ingineous ideas to make it more entertaining. Some of them even managed to make a quick trend in the whole school like painting their school jackets and the Nobuta key chain.

As usuall, there's always the bad side. It seemed that a certain person didn't like Nobuta to be more famous. This person then repeatedly tried to damage and foul some of Shuuji and Akira's effort towards her like ruining the Haunted House, making fake copies of the Nobuta key chain etc. It turned out to be Aoi, the girl whos was all along acting friendsly towards Nobuko.

Despite the trouble in producing her, the three also had their problems between them to deal with. As expected, there was some kind of triangle romance between them. Akira directly said that he wouldn't again get involved in producing Nobuta because he loved her and wanted her by her side always. But, it certainly is that Nobuta has a feeling for Shuuji, proven by her hug to him in the park. Luckily thery managed to clear things up an become normal friends again.

If there's a start for everything, there's also and end. Shuuji had to move outside town because his father had to moved. This somehow causes some worries for Nobuta wether she would be able to survive without him. The time came and they had to bid farewell to each other. In his new town, to his surprise, Shuuji found out that Akira also moved to the same school as him. That meant that Nobuta was all alone again. But Akira assured him that she would be okay without them. And it was true, Nobuta did managed to became a more confident and popular girl school.

The drama is excellant really. The theme about producing is surely something unique. But don't forget there are other important moral things that we can take from this drama, like friendship, envy, jelousy, relationships etc. every episode can really convey a good message to the viewers. About the acting, I thing they all made a good job. Especially for Horikita Maki who played Nobuta, it really fitted her. Overall, I really would recommend this drama. It does have much message for us to digest.
