LIFE ~ライフ~

Yep, I think I've decided to use this to review things =P
First off...an awesome J-Drama I've started to watch!



LIFE


This Drama is based solely around one very important issue, that we should all be aware about. Bullying. I've only seen the first episode, but it's definitely getting the message of pain across way better than those videos you get forced to watch in PSE. The main character is called Ayumu Shiiba. She is the victim of bullying in this story.

At the beginning, she's not doing the greatest in her Exams, with a fairly low Maths score, despite being quite intelligent (I can identify with her on this part. I'm good at most subjects, just I suck at PE, I could be better at Maths (by quite a bit) and I'm pretty useless in HE) ), so she asks her friend to give her a hand revising for her Entrance Exams for High School. Her friend, who is referred to mostly as Shii-chan, tells Ayumu that she has her eyes set on attending the prestigious Nishidate High School, and, so, Ayumu sets an aspiration to attend it too.

Shii-chan helps Ayumu with her revision, thus neglecting her own revision, and doesn't make it into the desired High School. After taking the pain and anger out on Ayumu, Shii-chan attempts to commit suicide, by running in front of a bunch of cars. This traumatises Ayumu, and she has a Mental Breakdown, and also ends up cutting her hair =/

At the school, she befriends Manami, who ends up becoming her worst enemy.

There's not much else I can say, only having seen the one episode xD
But, I give it : 5 Stars!!!
I LOVED it!
