I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
Mama has been nagging me for months to watch this and now that the translation was finally completed I decided to get to it.
Yokohama is a really damn dangerous city. Apparently the people from all the never-ending accidents that we've seen on RESCUE go to this one hospital where Resident takes place.
I really liked the first couple of episodes, the pace and the plot but towards the middle it got worse ending in lame drawn out dramatics. Well, that happens a lot.
Seeing Massu as a doctor was even weirder that seeing his as a firefighter. Manaka is an heir to a plastic surgery empire and everyone calls him "obocchan" which is really cute. Even though I think Dr. Babyface would suit him better. But he's this awkward character nobody takes seriously. Even though in interviews everyone said Massu was kind of their leader being about 5 years older that the rest, Manaka's role was the smallest out of all 5 interns. There wasn't a single episode dedicated to him.
Apart from him I quite liked the main heroine, Oomasa Aya looked so much more natural in this role than in YamaNade and Shinjo's character is quite fresh, you can't easily label her. But Yazawa... that guy seriously pissed me off. He's just a weakling, you know. From the last episode you'd think it's gonna be fine but I don't think it's that easy. Manaka is apparently interested in the main heroine but sure enough it doesn't go anywhere, much like with Shige in Hokaben. She actually tells him nice people aren't popular which is so twisted. Oh well.
In other notes, I really liked Naka Riisa's style. She is supposed to look boyish but I really like her outfits here. Again.
Overall it's a decent drama, much better than Rescue imho but the unnecessary dramatizing ruined the effect for me.
Trivia: I just found out Naka Riisa ia married to Nakao Akiyoshi. You know, Chuu! From Kinpachi. He's cute. She also gave birth to a son last year.
