Sukina Hito ga Iru Koto is a Jdrama I've just started (in the last week of uni, give me a break!). Boy oh boy do I love reverse harems. I mean I love a lot of things, as you can probably tell from my other posts, but reverse harem has got to be my ALL TIME FAVOURITE tag.
So I am three episodes in and loving it so far. I have been a fan of the lead Mirei Kiritani since My Boss My Hero and have seen her in various dramas and films since that time. This drama revolves around Misaki Sakurai (Kiritani), a pastry chef who has just been fired. She gets locked in the toilet cubicle of a fancy Tokyo restaurant when she if finally rescued by none other that her first love Chiaki Shibasaki (Shohei Miura). The two get talking and he offers her a job at his restaurant in the beach town he grew up. He also offers her to live in his home during her employment.
Misaki hasn't been kissed in 4 years, so with desperate prompting from her friend, she accepts the position. When she first gets off the train she runs to the beach and meets a really rude, but attractive guy. She finds her way to her new home to be hugged from behind by none other than...Toma Shibasaki (Shohei Miura). Who????? Toma is the younger brother of Chiaki, who mistook her for his girlfriend. He invites her in, she goes to the restroom where she stumbles upon...who???? That rude guy from the beach. Kanata Shibasaki (Kento Yamazaki). Kanata is also a younger brother of Chiaki. The three of them live together so you already know there's going to be a lot of great moments in this drama.
The show has a great blend of cooking scenes (somebody get me an omelette burger!) and story progression. It's really interesting to see the differences and similarities between the three brothers. It's also interesting to see how Misaki interacts with each of them differently. You get to see three sides of her which really helps you connect with the character. It's kind of like being in real life, not knowing what the guy is thinking but trying to analyse all his actions. It's also nice to have a big mix in personality from the brothers. Chiaki, acting just like an old friend. Really cool, cheers Misaki up when she's feeling troubled, values his brothers happiness above all else. Kanata, always serious and broody. Just wants to cook delicious meals but reveals a soft side now and then when he gives Misaki life advice. And then Toma. Always goofing off from his studies. A flirtatious guy going after any cute girl he sees but always maintaining an innocent boyish charm.
SPOILER ALERT BELOW
From the first episode you can tell straight away there's going to be a love traingle. Then BAM second episode and Chiaki's beautiful ex turns up. LOVE SQUARE. I really love how real the characters feel in this drama. In a lot of jdramas you see these shallow characters just thrown in there to be character stereotypes. But in Sukina Hito ga Iru Koto the actors really bring their characters to life. I'm so SO happy that Misaki worked up the courage to tell the ex that, no, you can't just fly back from America and expect to have Chiaki all to yourself. That's gonna be my man.
Kanata might still be a brooder for 90% of the episodes but I think as the drama progresses he'll open up more. This one is a hard one to call. As the drama is currently going you would think Misaki and Chiaki will end up together, but we know how dramas usually go and the broody guy gets the girl. So my votes are for Kanata. To be honest, as lovely as Chiaki is, Kanata just seems to suit Misaki so much better and she really acts her true self around him.
Anyhow we have 7 episodes left to find out! I love short dramas because I don't need to wait a whole year for another season. Also I find the stories progress so much faster and they cut out all that filler drama.
Let me know your thoughts on the show! (But please, no spoilers for episode 4 on wards I'm not there yet!)
Until next time my drama queens and kings,

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
