Summer Nude

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since I watched a Japanese drama. This one was called Summer Nude, and I had been waiting for it for a while (due to the cute cast line up). The drama was mainly about Mikuriya Asahi and Chiyohara Natsuki, and their coincidental meeting that led to an intense summer! In the beginning of the drama, Natsuki was getting married and Asahi was her photographer. Unfortunately for Natsuki, her husband left her after the ceremony. She was really depressed, and Asahi only made it worse by provoking her anger. A few weeks later, she received a wedding photo from Asahi that made her realize that she needs to move on in life. A few days after that, Asahi called her and requested that she visit him in his home town for a change. Little did she know, that he would be asking her to stay there and help out at a beach restaurant (she's a chef). When Natsuki first reached the place, she really enjoyed herself and met some new people, namely Yaino Takashi, Taniyama Hanae, and Kirihata Hikaru. The four of them had been friends for a long time, and Natsuki felt right at home while there. Initially, she was hesitant to suddenly work in a completely new environment (she was used to fine dining v.s. beach hut!), but eventually she gave in and started working there for a new beginning. When she started working there, Hanae asked Natsuki to help her win Asahi's heart (Hanae was chasing after Asahi for 10 years already). Natsuki had enough of relationships, so she found it fun to help them pair up. What she didn't know at the time was that Asahi was still waiting for his ex-girlfriend to come back (already waited 3 years). After finding out about Asahi, Natsuki tried to help him get out of his depression by trying to help him get over the girl. Eventually, he did give in, and attempted to move on with Hanae, but of course that's when Natsuki realized her feelings for him and his ex-girlfriend also returned. The rest of the drama revolved around Asahi trying to sort out his feelings and move on in life from his hometown. As well, it involved Natsuki trying to get over her feelings and making a new start in Tokyo again. The drama was really interesting and each character matured by the end of the drama. I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone looking for something different. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it really had me wanting to watch the next episode each week! That's it for now.

I'm off,
