Kekkon Dekinai Otoko

Shinsuke Kuwano (Abe Hiroshi), a successful architect at 40, enjoys living by himself. He doesn’t like people but somehow is able to design wonderful houses for them.

He has a routine of making himself a delicious dinner and then relaxing to classical music in his easy chair. (He likes to pretend he is the conductor.) One night, he plays the music loud enough to make his next door neighbor, Michiru Tamara (Kuninaka Ryoko) knock on his door to complain. When Kuwano answers the door, he suffers a terrible stomach pain and collapses to the floor. Lucky for him, his neighbor Michiru is nice enough to accompany him to the hospital, where he is treated by Dr. Natsumi Hayasake (Natsukawa Yui). He is really rude to Natsumi, but she is still determined to treat him.

Afterwards, Michiru and Natsumi become part of Kuwano’s life. They make friends with Kuwano’s colleagues Eiji (Tsukamoto Takashi) and Maya Sawazaki (Takashima Reiko). They all enjoy talking about how strange and eccentric Kuwano is. Is it possible that someone would ever want to marry him?

  • Abe Hiroshi as Kuwano Shinsuke

Story: 
Abe Hiroshi plays a 40-year old cynical man who is quite content living alone for the rest of his life. Hilarity ensues once he *ahem* has his but probed... Is he capable of ever marrying someone? 
 
Acting: 
The stalker, the best friend, and the girlfriend actors, I felt, brought the drama down. Waste of space/time... 
 
Music: 
I really enjoyed the whistling one lol.  
 
Satisfaction: 
The drama starts of slow, but as it draws close to the end it becomes really interesting and funny. Although this drama is in the comedy genre, there really aren't many moments were you laugh. However, you do smirk and smile a lot with a few occasional ROFLs.  
 
Watch out for a scene where Abe's underling wears a shirt that says 'pervert' on his sleeve!!! LOL 
 
Decision: 
Watch it!
