IWGP
Now to be honest I hate 93% of drama tv shows because generally the story is X loves Y but Y loves Z who happens to be in love with a teacher/drug addict/police man etc and it’s this same crop of shit dropped into different environments whether it be a school, hotel resort or even the good old east end of London. So when a friend suggested let’s watch a Japanese drama I initially thought ‘you can fuck right off’ to my self quietly in my mind as it was proberly going to be a few school girls having wet dreams about a basket ball player or again a teacher. But when I herd the four letters IWGP I instantly said yes as those four letters rang a bell in the vast caverns of my mind. Upon watching the first 3-4 seconds I remember the name from a manga advert in the back of a tokyopop manga (hellsing if I’m not mistaken) and was further more interested. 7 YouTube videos later I finished the first episode and was quite please with it as there was no soppy dick story to be seen! If I had to explain it in a few words I’d have to say it’s kidadult hood in japan with a slightly comical touch. It has a not to bad main character, his good old buddy, the ‘g’ gang who are proberly Japans answer to ‘crips’ a crooked cop and a few chicks scattered here and there. I’m not going to type the story out but I can say it’s fucking great and even if you hate dramas (especially Asian ones) with passion you can still expect you’re self to fully enjoy this gem from Japan. Now if I only could find the rest of episode 2…
