Trillion Game (2023) Review: A Fast Paced Business/Friendship Drama

Hello, everyone! Thank you for visiting this page๐Ÿ’— today, I want to share a rather short drama review. Before 2023 ends, I want to write drama/movie (that released in 2023) reviews as much as possible. Let's see how many reviews that will come in the last days of 2023๐Ÿ˜‚ today, I want to share a review of Japanese drama that released on the summer of 2023, Trillion Game.

However, only Haru who gets accepted, but he turns down the offer. Instead, he wants to start his own company with Manabu Taira. Haru has a goal, which is to earn 1 trillion dollars.

I heard many good things about this drama, and it didn't disappoint! A really fast paced, addicting, and entertaining drama about start up company, business rivalry, and friendship. 

Haru is a charismatic character who is also very stubborn and demanding (he said that himself๐Ÿ˜†) if it's about his goal. He is very charming and sometimes manipulative but I can see that he doesn't do that randomly. And he actually is very caring towards people around him. Sometimes Haru's idea is very out of the box, but it works! Every step is already calculated by him and it's one of the most entertaining things in this drama because sometimes, Haru seems that random y'all๐Ÿ˜‚

On the other hand, there's Gaku, Haru's bestfriend who is a very smart engineer and excellent in IT knowledge. Gaku is the exact opposite of Haru: he faces a difficult time in communicating with other people, but he is such a kindhearted person and believes in everyone around him. Due to this personality, Gaku and Haru forms a great friendship and best partner in their business.

The ladies in this drama are so pretty! Rinrin Takahashi (Riko Fukumoto) is hired by Trillion Game Company as their CEO. Rinrin is a pretty woman with a careful personality who brings the positive and cheerful vibe to the company.

And then, there is a daughter of the owner of Dragon Bank, Kirika Kokuryu or "Princess Kirika" (Mio Imada). This woman is eccentric, and her presence is iconic. A goddess-like face, stylish wardrobes and her stubborn personality. This combination makes Kirika a great character, especially when she's around Haru. I love the tension between these two! Romance is like a sub-plot in this drama and it's even presented very subtly, but I like it!

Haru-Kirika is a very famous ship in the fandom, but I also love Gaku-Rinrin as equal as Haru-Kirika♡

Other characters and the casts like Kedoin-san (Koji Kikkawa) and villain Kazuma Kokuryu (Jun Kunimura) are also great and compliment the story nicely. But I really like Ren, Hayato, Riko and Mio. They embody their characters well and make the characters stand out even more.

Overall, I really like this drama because how fast paced it is (45 minute-ish doesn't even feel that long), the storyline and the acting are great, and the business and the friendship aspect is very enjoyable. There's a possibility too that this drama might have a second season, because even though it ends happily, Haru and Gaku's journey continues. I give this drama 4,5 out of 5 stars. If you're looking for business drama, you might enjoy this drama as well. See you on the next post!๐Ÿ’—

Japanese Movie Review: Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (Konya, Sekai kara kono Koi ga Kietemo) [2022]

If you love torturing yourself by watching sad movies like I do, then you need to watch Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (ไปŠๅคœ、ไธ–็•Œใ‹ใ‚‰ใ“ใฎๆ‹ใŒๆถˆใˆใฆใ‚‚ -native title). (The Movie Poster) I will insert the official Twitter here , and more information on AsianWiki here . Maori Hino (Riko Fukumoto) has retrograde amnesia. She basically will forget everything if she falls asleep. When she wakes up, she reads many signs in her room that tell her to read her diary. Her diary is the only thing that can explain her activities before she was asleep. One day, Toru Kamiya (Shunsuke Michieda), a guy from her school, asks her to be his girlfriend. And Maori said yes. Then the story begins. (Shunsuke Michieda as Toru Kamiya) (Riko Fukumoto as Maori Hino) Reading from the synopsis on AsianWiki and other sources, we already know where the story will go. I mean, isn't it already sad that Maori have to face that situation? There is a fake dating trope in this movie. Yes, at first Maori and Toru
