Oniichan, Gacha (2015)

this is a weird cute drama. i always describe it as something nonsense, but i totally totally enjoyed it. a relaxing drama.

Story:
story is nothing deep. it's a cute concept actually. well, it's a weird concept also. but i like how the story develops fast since it's one gacha per episode (mostly). so the story is not dragging.

Acting/Cast:
i don't know Johnny Jr. this is where i first encountered them. well, some have shallow acting but there are those who can act. a lot of eyecandies also in this show. and i like Suzuki Rio's acting as Miko.

Music:
OMG! after every episode, the song is stuck in my head. "Gacha gacha.. onii-chan." and whenever i see a gacha machine, i would sing that song. so a high score for that just for that reason. hahaha.

Rewatch Value:
i'll definitely watch this again. it's something that you can watch if you want to be relieved of stress. it's a relaxation drama for me. you don.t have to think hard for this drama. it's literally a just relax and enjoy the show.

This is such a cute and original drama, I didn't expect to like it so much.

The cinematography alone is stunning, colour-saturated and very fantasy-like. The story concept is very simple and so original. The plot is linear because this is clearly a family show, but it's so nice to follow nonetheless. One thing I didn't like (but I think was done on purpose, because they kept addressing it) was the romanticisation of the onii-chan gachas... they're supposed to be your brothers, not your boyfriends, ew.

Also, look out for references to other shows and 4th wall breaking, because that happens a lot! I laughed so much because of that!

I loved the main duo, they were so cute together! The perfect siblings! Even though the acting in general, is not top-notch, the main lead (the little girl) is awesome, and she easily compensates for everyone else who might be lacking.

The music is okay - nothing special, but the ending theme gets stuck in your head (*sings* ''gacha, gacha, onii-channn'')

I've given a high score to the rewatch value because I think you could definitely rewatch this over and over and wouldn't get bored.

I really recommend this if you're looking for a nice and short dorama (every ep is 20 minutes or so). You could also decide to watch this for the ikemen value. Wouldn't blame you.

Gacha, gacha!

I really enjoyed this show! It's really cute and really funny and even had my eyes tearing up in emotion at some points. It's a strange, original concept yet somehow...it works. Each episode shows a new Oniichan Gacha and each one has a different personality or gimmick, so it's fun and amusing to see how the family reacts to them. I'm a big fan of Johnny's Entertainment idols and what initially drew me was all the Johnny's Juniors on the cast list. (So, if you want some nice ikemen eye candy, you'd enjoy this)

However, what kept me watching was the love-hate dynamic between the two main characters, Miko and Toi (played wonderfully by Suzuki Rio and Kishi Yuta; they had excellent chemistry together). Will Toi change his mind about wanting to be Miko's older brother? Will Miko ever find the right Oniichan? I was surprised by how emotionally invested I became.

I recommend giving this show a watch if you want a short, bite-size, 20 min. burst of cuteness, comedy, and pretty boys.
