Some of you may know I'm a huge J-Culture kinda guy, and I've been hooked on J-Doramas (drama) for many years now. The most recent one I had the time to watch is titled "Dream Again", starring none other than my favourite actor, Takashi Sorimachi (of Great Teacher Onizuka fame).
Takashi Sorimachi takes on the role of a pro baseball player, Shunsuke Ogi, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hopes of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. God decides to give him a second chance, placing his soul into the body of another man - a wealthy fund company manager - but adjusting to his new life isn't easy.
This series is classed more as a sports/human drama - it has subtle blends of family, sports, romance and human drama mixed in. The opening episode is really well set up for viewers - the plot is something new and fresh as are the cast.
