So I was reading my posts and I realized that till now all I wrote was about things related to South Korea (well yes it’s my newly discovered love but even so), so I decided to write about this short drama which was I think my first J-drama. I have my exam in less than 4 hours but I am writing my blog. What the hell am I doing? (-_-メ)
Why do you get all new and interesting ideas during exams? After exams, you don’t know what to do. ┐(´ー｀)┌

Anyways, Bunshin as such means Doppleganger. I’m sure you must have heard the term a lot of times if you are a Naruto fan. His favorite jutsu is (or used to be?) Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

This is one of the stories which show the potential of human mind going beyond impossible. I mean, who can think about identical twins being born one year apart! And it’s not like it can’t happen. Doesn’t seem unrealistic in the story. (I’m not sure if it actually can happen. You can’t be sure of such things, can you? Technology evolves way too fast. )

This is a sci-fi serious drama based on novel of same name by Higashino Keigo. The protagonist is Mariko, a woman who is tangled in her past of people stating that she doesn’t look like her parents again and again and her mother kind of hating her. On the other hand, Futaba is a college student who wants to pursue a career in music and performs in a band. Things turn upside down in Mariko’s life when she sees Futaba on TV because they look totally alike. Through fateful chances, they get to know more about each other and are shocked to know that they are similar, not only their faces but interests also, despite having no connections. But they lose hope of being connected as Futaba is one year older in age.  But their identical nature and not having a clue of their about their birth compel them to go further and they discover what is unimaginable. There is a lot more to their story than it seems. Involvement of forbidden medical techniques and dirty politics doesn’t deter them from their path of finding the truth about their identity.

Now about the drama, acting is okay. Masami Nagasawa has done quite a good job playing triple role here (Mariko, Futaba and their mother). Drama as a whole is a little slow. They could actually have made a movie rather than drama. But since it contains only 5 episodes, it is worth it. Story, as you can see, I’m quite impressed. Things are unpredictable till episode 3 and I think, for 5 episodes, it’s a success.

Hmmm. Now I’m thinking what song I should include today. Should it be Japanese? Oh this song is good. (Actually, suddenly, the videos have stopped working here. Probably due to exams, they put restrictions. Yes, they do that. ＼（－－）／
I have heard the Korean version. Not sure about Japanese version though. But I’ll post both versions and listen to Japanese version myself later.)
