Anego (2005)

this drama's story was slightly common. younger man, older woman love blossoms. unfortunately the chemistry was just non-existent. it was just a good comedy to me and nothing more than that. It is a drama that raises some questions about relationships but other than that it only had to offer the comedic moments. it is an easy watch though, you can quickly finish it and it definitely has a generally good acting. however shinohara kyoko alone can't give this drama a 10/10 for acting. Akanishi Jin was just terrible with a character that has no development at all. if you want to watch something that doesn't really make you think too much and it is easy then this is probably your cup of tea.

Oh, Anego. What a criminally underrated show. Granted, the 'older-woman-younger-man' scenario is commonplace, but Anego handles this potentially trite subject with flair. Noda Naoko will reel you in, as her search for love leads her to make decisions one might not expect from the shows leading lady. Yet she manages to hold sway over the audience as we realize, more than anything, how important it is for one to find happiness... No matter where it comes from.



Kudos to Shinohara Ryoko, this is a role excellently portrayed. Jin's character, however, is far too underdeveloped for it to be lead material. Anego's chemistry with the supporting lead was much more explosive than anything between Anego and Kurosawa, so it leaves you feeling a little disappointed.





Overall: Through ups and downs, through good and bad decisions, and through a hell of a lot of alcohol, you find yourself loving Anego more and more. This is a show I'd recommend to anyone with a glass of wine, who feels up for an evening of introspection.
