GOD don't play dice

GOD don't play dice[1] means GOD don't gamble. this statement come to my mind when i watch a JDo title "Cupid No Itazura" or in English "Cupid's Prank". It's a midnight[2] JDo which normally focusing on sex and related stuff to it but this JDo really something. In term of acting, the actor and actress not as "kayu" as normal AV and gravure[3] idols whom always starring in midnight JDo. The storyline and emotions really running high and if it wouldn't for the nudity and softcore pornography element, this JDo really worth to watch for all.

The premise of the story is simple which around Tomo whom only have 7 times chance to experience ejaculation in his life. he suffered from Rainbow Ball disease which only happened to 1 over 1 million people. the story climb up when Tomo meet Reiko whom he love from high school. intervene by Asami's appearance, it become triangle love.

Tomo love Reiko
Asami love Tomo

Asami is the one who discover regarding Tomo's illness and for that reason, she become sympathy with Tomo. Asami hurt so much in her relationship with a married guy seeks salvation from Tomo while Tomo couldn't have the guts to tell Reiko regarding his illness consult Asami on that matter. Desperate to lose his virginity, Tomo tried to rape Reiko.

The storyline rather twisted and i couldn't help to feel sorry for Asami and Tomo. Both seeking salvations for love and being a virgin in his early 20's really put the pressure to Tomo. Asami wrongly involved with the married guy feeling bad about herself. both seeking true love and would want to live happily ever after but it seems normal relationship and normal life just not for them.

I just watch until episode 3 but i will continue regarding this JDo cause i really feel heavily invested (emotionally) into this JDo. This JDo really touching my emotion about love.

Sometimes you just wondering what could be wrong for people who seeking simple life. tomo just want to be loved, so does asami. but with his disease and her double-cross relationship couldn't make those 2 people to be happy. both desperate for happiness yet happiness seems impossible. you couldn't help to notice that asami really just want to be happy yet her relationship make her look like a bitch who snatch other people husband. i really feel sorry for her. not to mention for tomo cause the illness really cause a great deal of pressure to him.

review on this JDo continue when i finish watching this dorama.

Notes:
[1] it's a common jargon for gamblers that "playing dice" is equally a popular term for gambling. as a matter of fact, playing dice is the most famous type of gambling game ever. simplest explanation because cards exist later than dice and dice accompanied early gambling game.

[2] Midnight JDo normally contains sexually explicit contents which suitable for viewer whom could really digest that kind of stuff. It contains softcore pornography elements including front and back nudity but not focusing on groin area.

[3] Gravure idols is a term known for bikini model in Japan.
