Nobunaga Concerto [2014]
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! This post will be my first post. It has been several years since the last time I write a blog. Hope you can enjoy the review!
The story began with Saburo (Oguri) who confessed his love to a girl at a school tour. Wasn't able to say the truth, he ran away from the place and fell in to a hill, which cause him to travel back in time to Sengoku period. There, he met with Nobunaga Oda who looks and sounds just like him. Nobunaga Oda is the son of a warlord and magistrate of the lower Owari Province (it kinda different with the true history, btw). Nobunaga Oda is physically weak, unlike Saburo who is very good at sport and physically strong and active. Thus, Oda asked Saburo, forcefully, to replace him in the palace as Oda. Before he even declined Oda's word, he was taken into the palace by Oda's guards. Then, Saburo tried hard to take his role as Nobunaga Oda and protect his country while searched for a way to go back to the future.
The character of Nobunaga Oda is widely known by people around the world as a legend. He was the one who united Japan and introduced lots of western technology to Japanese people at the era. I've read lots of literature that mentioned or even told his story though. However, for those who expecting history, be ready to be disappointed. It is far from that. This story tends to tell us a life-romance-friendship story. Most of the historical characters mentioned in the movie are not made to be similar with the history. However, the story line and its comedy feature are really satisfying!!!
I am a type of audience who will skip a movie when it begins to be boring. There are lots of dorama which I have skipped frame to frame because of the boring scenes. However, Nobunaga Concerto didn't even allow me to skip even one frame! Each scene was so interesting and emotional.
Shun Oguri played the Oda character very well. His character which was playful, funny. active, and cheerful was really different with his character in previous dramas (ex. Rich Man, Poor Man, Hanayori Dango). Shibasaki Kou also play a very generous woman here!!! I really love the way she acted as Ki Cho. I even dropped a tear when she cried in this dorama.
Generally, this dorama is my favorite for this summer! I don't think I can find another dorama that can give me this much satisfying feeling. It is really worth to watch! :)
Score : 9.5/10
