I have never had a drama that frustrated me so much. Sure, I've watched a few where the two leads have missed chances and such where you're rolling your eyes at the cliche moments where the camera catches two people who miss each other by a fraction. Trust me, after watching Proposal Daisakusen, you would shoot yourself at the amount of stupidity that is men. I'll begin my story (or rant) with a short summary of the story.

The scene opens up with a mid-twenties Ken waking up late for a wedding, the wedding of his childhood friend. Halfway through the ceremony, he realizes how important the bride, Rei is to him and wishes that he could redo the things he did in the past that made her unhappy (she's a childhood best friend of his). So bam! Out pop this fairy (I know, I know, it's a little lame, I agree) who decides to grant Ken his wish of going back into the past and create better memories as well as confess to Rei that he likes her before she ends up marrying this other guy (who incidentally is quite good looking). Now, this story actually doesn't describe his entire one-time back to the past but rather throughout all 11 episodes brings Ken back into the past numerous times through the years.

What I find extremely frustrating (to the point of actually wanting to pull my hair) is how incredibly stupid a man can get. You would think after 7 episodes, people learn from their goddamn mistakes! Of course not, Ken is so insanely stupid that all you want to do is give him a punch in the face and say "Get over her if you're not going to do it right!" but I digress. Let me describe just how frustrating the show is. Starting from episode one, we are presented Ken playing in the finals of some baseball match (in which he actually lost). After losing the damn game (even though he was betting on winning), he decides it's not worth it to confess to Rei simply because he lost. I guess it's in the whole "I'm gonna look uncool if I confess after losing a game" psychology but dude... and you know, this is fine (to cut some slack).

Fast forward a few more episodes and Ken is still stumbling over three little words "I like you" and really for the want of trying. He gives up after a single failed attempt (per episode of course) and usually utters one and a half of the words before time is up. I swear, everytime he comes this close to saying the fucking words "like" before failing I just want to punch him. And this episode, episode 7 is by far the worst because Rei's current fiance (soon-to-be husband) confesses to her. Knowing that he has a really short time line, does he act fast? Of course not. Stumbles over and over again, that you just want to vent your irritation onto something. Constantly waiting for the "right time and chance", he ends up failing again while the good looking fiance just confesses in public (which stupid Ken doesn't have the guts to do) despite severe embarrassment. And do you want to know why he failed? Because he told his friend before they played "Ousama Game" (kinda like Simon Says) that if the friend ever becomes Ousama, to let Ken and Rei go to the hall together. What kinda fucking idiot does that? You see, he was just about to tell Rei to step out before they were interrupted. Why couldn't he just pull her aside before the bloody game started?! Why does he have to wait for the game to start and involve the game in his confession?! *Takes a deep breath* Fucking idiot.

You just start to wonder what's the point of the whole damn show. I know they're trying to drag on the show for 11 fucking episodes, but this is a little too much. I'm this close to dropping the whole series because it makes me so frustrated to see Ken try to confess time and time again only to chicken out at the last minute. Damn producers, don't they know too much suspense ultimately kills the audience? Certainly I get the message the drama is trying to get across (who wouldn't have 7 episodes of frustration?!) but this is going overboard and someone needs to give Ken a good punch in the face and tell him to get his act together. It's just three words and you have nothing to lose (after all, the worst that could happen is Rei marrying fiance, which isn't likely to happen since she too likes Ken) but nooo... waiting for the right fucking chance. Chance chance chance, if you play Monopoly you know that Chance doesn't come very often. Wishy washy guys aren't going to get girls, that's for sure.
