Done in 2004, “Pride” deals on the sport of ice hockey and the game of love. Takuya Kimura plays the main character Satanoka Halu, the captain and star player of Blue Scorpions, who is very passionate on his craft yet indifferent when it comes to issues of the heart.
Halu’s refusal to conform to the methods of his team’s new coach, Yuichiro Hyodo, resulted to an antagonistic relationship between them. While Murase Aki (Takeuchi Yuko), an office lady from his team’s corporation, slowly changes him and would make the type Halu would fall for. These conflicts in the main character’s career and personal life would make the story grows in you.
As to the actor, I observed that Kimutaku’s appeal hasn’t waned over the years. How he “connects” with Yuko is like his chemistry with previous leading ladies. While Yuko reminds me of Matsu Takako, the actress who stars with Kimura numerous times.
Regarding the scoring, almost all Queen’s songs were used in this drama such as “I Was Born to Love You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” “We are the Champions,” “Too Much Love Will Kill You,” etc. which are suited with the love angle and fantastic hockey actions. But I say, it would be better if the songs are original to have more impact.
I noticed that Halu’s favorite expression here is “maybe” and I find it unusual for a leading actor in a drama to have his favorite word. This became funny when little Wataru imitated this catch phrase and he replied “must be.”
Nonetheless, this show is a pretty good one. If you ask me if this is worthwhile, I’ll say maybe nah, must be…heheheh!!!
