PRIDE dorama

- PRIDE –

It’s all about believing each other, not waiting for another…

Last weekend, I spent the nights watching DVD of Japanese drama series (well known as ‘dorama’) which is lent by a friend of mine. The title is Pride. This is story about a captain of an ice hockey team named Haru Satonaka who is used to call as Halu. Halu is the star of the Blue Scorpion team, and he’s greatly respected by his teammates. Hockey is something important for Halu. It’s not just a game; it’s more than everything for him. Say, hockey is the number one thing in his mind. Halu is very famous. There are many girls declare as his fans [includes me ^ 0 ^;]. Ironically, Halu treats romance as if it just a game. He has never tended to be serious in it. Another main character is Aki. Aki is a businesswoman. She’s waiting for her boyfriend who is studying architecture in USA. Unhappily, her boyfriend has never contact her for the last two years. One day, Aki was asked by her friends, Yuri and Chika, watching a hockey match together. It was the match of Yuri and Chika’s favorite team, Blue Scorpion. Blue Scorpion won the match, and they held a celebration at the pub where their friends and fans are used to get on together. There, Aki meets Halu for the first time. Aki’s personality a little bit attracted Halu. She’s so silent and mousy, so that Halu calls her as ‘A woman from the last century’. They exchanged e-mail and starting to have dates by then. After several times meeting, Halu offered Aki a temporary relationship while Aki waiting for her boyfriend to return to Japan. Aki was very doubtful, but finally she accepted Halu’s offer. Then, a unique relationship between them started. As time goes by, Aki and Halu began to fall in love each other. AT first, both of them are always deny their real feelings. Halu tends to hold his pride, and Aki still grapple with her uncertainty. The climax of the story is when Aki’s boyfriend returned to Japan. At that time, the relationship of Halu and Aki was getting tighter. Aki was so confused. She didn’t know which one she has to choose.

This dorama isn’t only about the love between the main characters. It also dominated by a lot of things about ice hockey. If you’re kind of person who love ice skating, you maybe satisfied by the ice hockey matches in this dorama. All of the ice hockey players are extremely expert in ice skating. Starring by talented actors and actresses, this dorama is really worth to watch.
