"Hallelujah chance! *wink and pose* Noooooooo!" That's Yamapi's signature line in the drama.
Proposal Daisakusen is a story about childhood friends (Ken and Rei) who lived their lives together from grade school up to college. The series opens with Rei getting married to their high school professor (Tada). During the reception, Ken gives a message for the newlyweds. After his speech, a slide of Rei and Tada-san's pictures that serves as the timeline of their relationship was played. While watching the slide presentation, Ken realized that he had a lot of chances to tell Rei how he feels for her but didn't act on it. A fairy then appears, telling him that he will give Ken the chance to go back to the past by using the pictures on the slide. He would be transported a few hours before the photo was taken and would be back to the present when the camera flashes. He should then use his chances and make Rei his girl.
He was really able to go back to the past and little by little changed things. He even made his two friends (Eri and Hisashi) go out with each other. But it's not enough for Rei to be his girlfriend. Everytime he goes back to the present, it was always during the slide presentation, which means that Rei still got married. However, it was implied during these travels that Rei also has feelings for him but eventually gave up because she feels that Ken doesn't feel as strongly as her. She thinks that he prefers keeping his emotions to himself that's why she got so frustrated. Ken was supposed to propose to her too and even bought a ring but Rei rejected him before he even started proposing. Ken threw the ring away but their friend Eri found it and gave it to Rei. This made Rei doubt her decision about marrying her professor. That was the last photo. Ken already gave up but was shocked to realize he was on the stage and was only about to give his speech. He finally got the courage to say everything he wanted to say and walked out of the hall. Rei got confused even more but was let go by her fiancé and she followed Ken.
This series was recommended by a classmate of mine, a hardcore jdrama fan! :)) When I got to watch it, every episode thrills me and I was always eager to watch the next one, especially when it was about to end. The story shows that most people have regrets about things they made in the past and silently wishes to correct their mistakes. However, we aren't as lucky as Ken to get a chance to go back to the past. The only thing we can do is accept the past as a part of our life and act on the present. As a singer said before, "There's no future in the past." The present is still there and we can do something about it for the future. The drama also emphasized that there was never a right timing. Say whatever you want to say or do whatever you want to do so that you won't find yourself waking up one day and realize that the opportunity slipped by. *sighs* Another regret.
Proposal Daisakusen made me realize that I am lucky for waking up today, which means that I still have the chance to do or say what I want. It inspired me to look forward to my life on a positive way. I really recommend this series to everyone! Long live Japan! :))
