Hallelujah... chance!

Posted by biboybob Monday, April 28, 2008

I woke up at 10am yesterday after playing DotA until around 3:30am, and after eating my brunch and doing some of the laundry, i realized i got nothing more to do. And so i turned on my pc (almost unconsciously hehe) and looked for a site where i can watch this japanese drama: Proposal Daisakusen: Operation Love.

I've been hearing a lot about how good and funny this series is, but i didn't have that much interest in j-dramas until i watched (and laughed at) the first episode of Hana Kimi. I've always found japanese girls very pretty, and immediately after learning that the one in Operation Love is so damn cute, i said to myself that i have to watch her no matter what. ^^

Released in April 2007, Proposal Daisakusen is about two childhood friends, Ken and Rei. Ken loved Rei for the longest time, but was not able to let her know and feel it because of him being a bit stupid and weak-willed (talking about a typical HS boy). Now Rei is getting married, and Ken is giving his wedding speech teary-eyed, talking about how good he and Rei have been together since elementary. After his speech a slideshow of Rei's photos was shown, with him in some of them. As others were looking at the slides, Ken wished so hard on wanting to turn back time, and let him be the one to marry Rei.

Who would not regret not being able to marry a girl this cute, when he's got the chance?

This is Ken giving his toast. Argh!
Lights went out, and a weird Fairy appeared in front of Ken. This is a very funny part! ^^ He told him that he can go back in time, until the time the photo in the slideshow was taken, he just have to say "Hallelujah... chance!" (doing it reminded me of Kyon swinging that Hare Hare Yukai dance) And so he went, not even remembering what actually happened before that photo. Can he really change the future with that limited amount of time? Can he make it to be Rei's husband?

First slideshow photo where Ken will be brought back.
It is definitely cheating going back to the past and re-arranging things for the better, because you already have an idea of the results of your mistakes. But man if someone (or something) will give me that "hallelujah chance" thing, i would definitely grab it! I would probably change most of the things that i did in late HS and college, coz those are the times when i know i did a lot of mistakes hehe. Not that i am frustrated with the me right now, but it's always good when you have more options (and chances) especially if you have the full idea of what's gonna happen with each choices, isn't it?

I just realized that it has been a year since this series was released, so if you are as out-dated as i am, go time-travelling and watch Proposal Daisakusen here at Crunchyroll. ^^
