"I want to fly."Spoken with conviction mixed with passion, Misaki Yoko's voice was trembling as much as the light in her eyes. This was also my favorite line in the entire Jdrama, Attention Please, a short but enjoyable 12 episodes of a tom boy's struggle and pursuit of her dream: becoming a flight attendant (and a top notch one).
Like a lot of good Jdramas, Attention Please has the quirky characters, the recycled jokes, and the unrelentless pursuit of a dream, which always makes my blood boil with envy and admiration. What made this drama unique was the emphasis on the growth of Misaki, instead of on the romance, which to my surprise was only lightly touched on. Another trait that made this drama stand out right off the bat was Misaki's personality, her complete disregard of the usual Japanese demureness found in most heroines. She is loud and overly optimistic, and her carelessness and her lack of common social etiquette sometimes borders on offensive. However, that's what makes me love her (and thus finishing the drama in two days), cringe for her, and worry about her despite knowing that this comedy is definitely leading to a happy ending. The fact that the ending could be so easily guessed didn't stop me at all. I enjoyed the flight.
hello my dear--YAY YOU'RE POSTING AGAIN! once again, another insightful and down to earth review :)
ReplyDelete(oh, and about "most" being singular or plural--it depends on the word it is modifying. if the word is singular, then the verb should be singular. if the word the plural, as in "most of the candies," then the verb would be plural)
