Let's live on!
I actually posted this drama review once in my FB account, but I just want to repost here since this is truly a recommended drama, my most favorite among the dramas Shige starred in! Plus everything here is so memorable - the plot, the casts, the theme song!
ゼロ 一獲千金ゲーム (Zero: The Bravest Money Game)
Synopsis from AsianWiki: Zero Ukai teaches middle school students at a private institute. In reality, he is a hero who saves the weak that suffers. Zero Ukai participates in a survival game. The game takes place at an amusement park that is under construction. The participants of the game must risk their lives, but the winner will receive 100 billion yen. The participants help each other and strike up friendships.
PERSONAL REACTION: I am totally affected on every episode! Apart from the excitement and fear that the drama brings due to its “Death and Gambling Game” theme, there are lots of lessons that can be applied in real life.
*Math and Science are essential in life*
Generally speaking, right after watching the whole drama, I now appreciate the importance of Math and Science in real life (Geometry and Physics are mostly applied in the drama, those two are actually my most hated subjects when I was still in high school lol), since these two were used in order to clear the game stages (and in order to save their lives at risk).
*Even if you're already successful, keep your feet of the ground*
Even if you know yourself that you excel in every thing you do, be aware that there are still some persons better than you, thus, you must be humble at all times.
*Keep the competition healthy*
We are indeed living in a world full of competition, hence we cannot do anything to avoid it. But we can keep the competition clean. Be a good sport. Do not push yourself too hard. Learn to give chances to others. Remember, the world is not revolving around you only.
*Friendship is greater than money*
We cannot buy real friendship. And real friendship is rare. Friendship is not only on how you always do something for other's favor.
Sadly nowadays, money is one factor to either gain or lose friendship (or let me say, the thing that most of us mistakenly think as "friendship").
*Trust is hard to gain but easy to break*
Closest friends, or even families, tend to become rivals or enemies once trust among them breaks.
*There is no such thing as easy money*
Everything we would like to gain needs hard work and sacrifice, even in lottery, when we risk our money to either gain or loss.
*Life is not a toy to play with*
You live only once. Therefore, we should live our life to the fullest. Be a good person. Always.
One sad quote from the drama though:
"The world is full of injustices and flaws. And that's why kind, hardworking people end up turning to death as an escape."
So apart from the bravest (and probably the dirtiest) money game and the life lessons it brings, I am again being a proud Shige fan here! And he gained lots of fans after he did the role! 💚. Sasuga, he again played such cool and smart role that really fits him. And he's really handsome oh my!!!! I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE HAHAHA😍!
Although Mamiya Shotaro caught my eyes here lol. He's also really handsome 😭. And Bi Shounen's Sato Ryuga is a cutie too! I think I am starting to root for Bi Shounen, among Johnny's Jr. units lol (and currently I am stanning these boys OMG!). And I was just amazed that Ryuga had actually auditioned for Shirube's role! (Actually, that was a secret audition, the juniors didn't know that they acted on the drama remakes of the previous junior dramas so Shige and the drama staff know who to choose among them who would fit Shirube's character.)
And I was really happy seeing Shige co-starred with his real life "kokoro no tomo" a.k.a Massu, Tego and Koya.
(So memorable... Yonin NEWS has a special place in my heart 😭💜💗💛💚)
