Minato Shouji Coin Laundry (2022)

DESPERDICIO

La trama se basa en un chico, Minato que vuelve a su pueblo para regentar el negocio familiar y tal. El caso, se encuentra allí a Shin, un muchacho de 17 años que le tira la caña.

Él se resiste pero el otro sigue ahí intentándolo, porque aunque le gusta, es menor. Hasta ahí la trama principal de los capítulos del 1 al 11

En cuanto a personajes, tenemos un gran problema, se supone que Shin debe parecernos adorable y Kawaii,supuestamente, pero es el maduro de la relación, el centrado y el cual tiene las cosas claras , con 17 años.

A mediados de la serie nos cuenta que se enamora de Minato porque le salvó de ser ahogado cuando tenía 10 años y él 17.

Y luego tenemos a Minato, qué tiene la madurez mental de un tomate, ya que lo único que hace en toda la serie es comportarse como si tuviera 15 años , dándole largas a Shin, poniendo escusas, que no está listo para enamorarse porque siente algo por tu antiguo profesor (trama que me salto porque tampoco aporta)


Y ya es en el último capítulo, en el que se supone Shin se va a Tokio a estudiar cuando él de le declara porque ya si tienen claro sus sentimientos, pero al final resulta que la universidad está por allí cerca y que no se muda !! Que casualidad, y nada, qué se quieren mucho.

Todo esto en 12 capítulos, que es tiempo suficiente para desarrollar una buena trama .

Pero es que tiene una trama secundaria super pequeña con un compañero de clase de Shin y un profe que resulta más interesante que la trama principal, creo, que porque el actor actúa mejor.

Al final es una serie donde no pasa nada y no hay desarrollo de personaje alguno . Nadie aprende . Al final acaban juntos porque la trama lo marca asi, pero vamos, poco más.

No la veais, Mirate Cherry Magic, que dura igual y es mucho mejor

In a circle we run, away from a cheeky teenager.

If you are ready for a whole lot of frustration, running in a circle, kids being scary straightforward and adults acting like shy teenagers - this is a perfect watch for you.

Here’s the thing - it was so exciting, fun and enjoyable at first. Being more or less the same age as Minato, I could easily understand his panic about starting to have feelings for a high schooler. Even the idea is scary. That said, I feel like they failed with Minato writing wise, since he just... existed and everything was happening around him. The guy did not try to process it at all and it left the viewers with repetitive scenes and plots, since nothing was changing character wise.

Shin was saving grace with his pro flirting, honesty and undying motivation to make Minato his. He was far more dynamic of a character, actually showing some change in his behavior depending on the situation and the circumstances.

There were also a few nice side characters like Sakurako and Asuka who added some wholesome platonic moments to this romance driven show.

Plot wise, we've got whole side plot of Sakuma Takayuki which was stretched so bad, taking too much screen time and becoming quite an annoying addition to the drama. The teacher might have been the sweetest dude ever, but that plot should have been resolved in 2 episodes max.

Performance wise I do not have any complaints. Kusakawa Takuya did his best with Akira - the character was just not it writing wise. Nishigaki Sho truly impressed me. He did quite well with some more subtle emotions and perfectly presented the angst related to the first big teenage love.

Production wise, it gave a high budget since of life webdrama vibes - which personally I truly love.

Overall, I am honestly not sure how I feel about it. On paper it works, but when I watched it, I was getting either frustrated or bored, and I was wishing for the show to finally end. I don’t regret watching, but I’m also not sure if I would recommend it for others to check out. I also crave second season or at least a special episode, because the payoff after all the running away was quite short-lived.
