Summary + Review:
Ken immediately KNOW that this drama is up to no good when Chiba (Masaki) happily said that Midorikawa (Makino) is his SEX FRIEND X_x...the story if there IS one moves quickly to the lovely hotel room (@_@) where Makino decides to pull out some adult videos--Ken SWEATDROPS...(so that premonition was TRUE...)
Let me backtrack. This drama is based off of the manga "Kindan no Amai Kajitsu" which is actually a couple of short stories put in one book. In the drama version (I will strangle that producer-guy) they cleverly (note the sarcasm) decided to link the short stories together so that all of them are integrated into the long story "In My Room" in ADULT VIDEO format...to put it simply, the drama is composed of the introduction (which I have described above), video H, H, video H, H, and so on...(Ken dies)
WHAT TYPE OF UNHEALTHY THINGS HAVE I BEEN LISTENING TO ALL THIS TIME!?!? T_____T Dammit. Whatever, moving on since at least this drama doesn't make me flinch as bad as Ookina Vibe no Sha no Shita de (which is....-_-||||||||||||), and being the perverted fangirl that I am, I still like the idea of Midorikawa, Chiba, and Koyasu all in one drama XDD; Now, just so that I fulfill the "summary" part of this review:
Uber-simplified version review = "four shallow stories of three wonderful seiyuus...should I say FANSERVICE or should I say JUST BE DISTURBED BY THE SEVERE H-NESS??"
Track 1: The sex friends meet. They decide to watch some porn.
Track 2: (Video 1 "Kindan no Amai Kajitsu") Suzaki-sensei is seduced by Wakui Keina, his student. It turns out that Wakui is just using Suzaki to forget about his crush on another boy, but Suzaki and Wakui like each other's body too much not to have sex...(FLINCH. what type of relationship is THAT...O_o)
(Ken's input: I like Yanagi-san's cool voice ^^ he DOES sound really seductive when he means it @_@ And I think his voice fits the image of Wakui in the comic very much, too.)
Track 3: The sex friends discuss a bit about the video (SNORT...Midorikawa sounds SO PERVERTED when he says "IIiii~~neeee" after watching the video @_@ but when he says "iii~~jyan" he sounds SO feminine *shivers* XD;)...uh, they watch another one. -_-;;
Track 4: (Video 2 "Honki no Kiss de Mitashite") Chiba plays Masaki the Student Council President (of which are almost ALWAYS perverted, SEME, looks like super-nice guy on the appearance but is ALWAYS planning on how to eat innocent underclassmen XDDDDDDDD) GEH, Chiba evilly chuckling and saying "itai donna sex wo suru darou naaa~~tanoshimi~" (what type of sex will happen this time? I can't wait~) is SO....*shiver* Chiba-sama I still like you as uke better -_-;;. Masaki the wolf-chan quickly eats Tomoru the little freshman lamb (Yanagi again, but I like him as Wakui much better than this brainless uke >_>). The next day, Masaki admits that he's just playing around with Tomoru, and some EXTREMELY FAKE and abrupt Tomoru-crying and being angsty >_> (Yanagi-san, please work harder on angst next time...) and although Yanagi-san's crying was terrible, according to the plot Masaki is supposed to turn his mind around and start to like Tomoru (although more like loving his body X_x)--so, it did happen according to plot >_>. (I refuse to call that a plot dammit) And happy ending (?) for everyone (Ken twitches on her chair...so maybe not "for everyone" after all)
Track 5: Remember the sex friends? They are a bit aroused after that second tape.
Taack 6: ("Toriko ni Shite ne") One of my favorite pairs, KOYASU x MIDORIKAWA, so no complaints there XDDD;;; Midorikawa plays the promiscuous son (Itsuki) of the Kaidoh Corporation, and tries to seduce Koyasu-san (Yukihira-sensei). Yukihira always turns down the seduction, though (But Ken herself has no resistance whatsoever to Midorikawa's "onegai, ore wo daite" #@_@#. See also Cafe Lindbergh's review). Itsuki finds himself in love with Yukihira...but wandering about Yukihira's house one day, he finds another boy in his house! (Here you go, the necessary lover's suspicion and jealousy) ahh the very cliched and overused yaoi plot tactic...so of course they resolved the suspicion and have more of what this drama is overloaded with, HHHHHHHH. (Koyasu sounds SO familiar when he says "chikara wo nuide, Ituki-san"...I suppose I was having Boku no Mono ni Narinasai deja-vu....)
Track 7: THE SEX FRIENDS should have had enough adult videos now...Midorikawa x Chiba sounds like uke x uke...O_o WOAH Chiba sounds high-pitched in this one...
Track 8: Oh, so there IS more to those sex friends...is that there's a 3RD one...(I want to jump off a roof). You get Koyasu + Midorikawa x Chiba...GEH, Ken wants to nosebleed despite this being such a bad drama...(runs for tissue) ooh Chiba you sound.....SO CUTE!! *dies* you can cut down the "ahh"-ing a little, though ^^;;. Although it's 3P, Misaki (Chiba) finds himself in love with Yoji (Koyasu) a bit more (Ken is reminded that in the Abunai series, Isumi also tends to lean towards Seigawa more than Sawatari) and winds up doing sex just with Yoji. Thanks to Makino (Midorikawa) who gave up just in time, Misaki and Yoji are able to make a happy couple.
Track 9: Freetalk-desu! Koyasu seems a bit in a hurry O_o but I like how everyone tried to rush through their names ^^; They all talk so fast in the freetalks ALL THE TIME...I think Koyasu asks everyone how do they think having to play two or three different characters in the same drama, but I excuse myself from trying to understand further...(although freetalks are always the best way to pick up random seiyuu info...like how Koyasu has a comment on Midorikawa's uke sound...)
Ken's conlusion: Negative 50 for plot (on a scale of 0-100), SEX COUNTS MORE THAN LOVE in this drama, therefore seriously bad for health, moderately bad for entertainment purposes, slightly bad for the ears. But if you are a Koyasu, Chiba, and Midorikawa fan, then it's probably endurable ;P.
