REVIEW: Last Friends (Japanese Drama, Fuji TV:2008)


[You can also read this on UnitedJPop here].
Even though I actually watched this drama quite a while ago now, I wanted to write a short review on it...
Last Friends is a series that focuses on the issues faced by a group of young people who are all connected in some way. The main character is the, almost painfully, kind woman named Michiru (Masami Nagasawa). She's lives with her neglectful and often drunk mother and works as a hairdresser, constantly bullied by a nasty co-worker. As a viewer, you begin to feel so sorry for the character who has no one to turn to for support.
ENTER...her kind and caring boyfriend Sousuke (Ryo Nishikido) who proceeds to ask her to move in with him...aww!!

While out shopping for bits to add to the flat, Michiru runs into her old school friend Ruka (Juri Ueno), and the two get along like they had never been split apart. Surely Sousuke would be glad of Michiru's new (but kind of old) friendship?
Well, no...not exactly...
