WHAT IS IT?
Tenki-yoho no Koibito is a 3 way relationship dorama between Sato Koichi who works at the weather bureau and two women, Fukatsu Eri and Inamori Izumi who are not who Sato Koichi thinks they are.
Sato Koichi thinks that Inamori Izumi is Yukawa Sachi, the love specialist radio DJ who actually is Fukatsu Eri. Rather, they both make up Yukawa Sachi because Fukatsu Eri is the brains and voice while Inamori Izumi is the face and experience.
Love the cast and its fun watching a very young Sato Koichi and Fukatsu Eri and Ianomori Izumi look the same as they do now.
The script is by Okada Yoshikazu of Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi and its got the 90s early 2000s dorama feel.
Usually doramas about mistaken identities usually make me cringe but not Tenki-yoho. May its because it doesn't feel to contrived to me.
Finally, Yonekura Ryoko is in a very minor non speaking role which is just the way I like her.
WHAT'S NOT GOOD ABOUT IT?
Nothing, though it will probably end up being a pretty standard 3 way dorama.
WHO SHOULD WATCH IT?
People who like shows from the 'Golden Age' of jdoramas and people looking for something different.
HOW DO I RATE IT?
Watchable. Thanks for Saltine for subbing it at d-addicts and you can get the raws from nyaa.
thanks mike! i love fukatsi eri, and will give this one a go. hopefully there will be seeds this weekend.
ReplyDeletejust hard to get my wife to watch jdramas since she likes western shoes on netflix....plus am busy with the baby. take care and stay healthy!
This looks like a jdoroma version of The Truth about Cats and Dogs (1996 film starring Janeane Garofalo and Uma Thurman), but to be honest I'll watch anything with Fukatsu Eri in it. :)
