I want to be a Cinderella!!

E~to.. I just finished watching this tanpatsu (one episode long) drama, called Cinderella Ni Naritai!!. The drama has the cast of Okura Tadayoshi (from Kanjani 8) and Sano Yasuomi. Their names might not really hit the note if you're not 1. a Kanjani 8's fan. 2. An avid fans of all Japanese drama and had managed to catch either one of them in one of your dramas, (ex. Sano-kun in 3 nen b gumi Kinpachi Sensei, or Okura-kun in Utahime).

I watched the drama out of curiosity after reading the synopsis in drama wiki: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Cinderella_ni_Naritai%21. The drama provides a refreshing twist to the ever-so-popular Cinderella (she is my favorite princess in the whole Disney's princesses gang). While usually Cinderella theme tends to pay more attention to ladies as the main character, Cinderella ni Naritai gives you a glimpse that a prince actually needs a princess charming to come and rescue him as well. The drama proves to be warm, and provides positive self-esteem boasts in a simple yet sweet format. Like the Cinderella in the fairy-tale, this Cinderella also needs some help from his fairy god-mother, whom comes in the form of a scientist this time around. Glass shoe is usually used as the connector between the prince and Cinderella, here Touch and Ribbons are used as the connector between the princess and Cinderella (watch the movie to understand me). Thinking hard is not required for this movie. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I recommend this movie as a weekend laid back movie, where you can share a laugh and the "awww so sweet" with your gal pals or by yourself (as in my case), or a gentle reminder to your boy/girlfriend who likes to take Victoria's Secret or CK's models as a comparison to you. :)

Like the saying goes: "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". So Behold, beauty might actually in front of your eyes. Be very careful not to miss it, cos "a man's lost is another man's gain"
