The Synopsis:
Everyone has a story about their “first time.” Unless, of course, you’re 27-year-old virgin Takanashi Machi. It’s not that Machi isn’t attractive, or that she’s never had a boyfriend. Every opportunity she’s had to have her first experience, something always got in the way. She studied hard in college and achieved her dream of becoming a veterinarian. But before she knew it, she was 27 years old and still a virgin! Ashamed and convinced that she’s definitely abnormal, Machi resolves to lose her virginity by the time she turns 28. When she attends a class reunion with her two best friends, they reminisce about a student from their class, Takumi. He stood up for Machi one day when she was bullied by other boys, and since then she’s considered him the best guy she’s met so far in her life. “If it was Takumi, I could definitely see having my first time with him…” Machi fantasizes about meeting up with him again, but Takumi transferred from their school and no one has heard from him since. Walking down the street one day, Machi sees a seemingly stray cat and chases after it. However, its owner comes by and scoops it up, and when their eyes meet, Machi realizes this man just has to be Takumi-kun… Will he be Machi’s “first time,” or will she be a virgin forever? — synopsis by awrittensin

My Comment :
I watch Hatsu Taiken because it has two of my favorite actors, Fujiki Naohito and Shinohara Ryoko. It is nice to see both of them played in together in one drama even though Ryoko did not play the female lead character. Apparently, this drama has never been English subbed, so I have to watch it without subtitle. As I do not understand Japanese at all, I can’t understand what they are saying and have to guess a lot in following the story. Overall, there is nothing special about Hatsu Taiken, but I can say it is an enjoyable drama.
Well, I try to add more details about this drama but because like I have said before that I watched the drama without subs and have to guess it most of the time, I might make mistakes in the additional story of this drama.
If you read the synopsis it might sounds a bit silly. The earlier episodes do telling the story about how desperate Machi in her attempts to have her first time with Takumi. However, the story develops to become more serious later as I find out it is not just about that first experience of Machi but also the love rivalry between best friends.
