This drama is the follow up on the movie
after the recruits become coast guard divers.
A year has passed since Senzaki Daisuke (Ito
Hideaki) became a coast guard rescue diver, but has still not been in an actual
rescue operation. When his transfer to the 3rd district is decided, he is thrilled
to find out that it is in the same city, Yokohama, as Kanna (Kato Ai) his long
distance girlfriend lives in, but for some reason she doesn’t want him to come
Yokohama, even though they have been mailing and talking to each other. Not
only that: his new buddy Ikezawa Masaki (Nakamura Toru) is a veteran, who has
no interest in him, basically not seeing him as an even equal.
Hoping to save lives and trying to adapt
to his new environment, Daisuke tries his best to match up to Ikezawa and grasp
the meaning of being a coast guard diver…
The drama is a great follow up on the
movie. The vibe and the mood is pretty much the same, and you really start
idolizing these people who not only sacrifice their life, but also jeopardize
their family life and relations. The story is not as action packed as the
movie, but tries really hard to make it interesting and realistic, which I
believe they did very good. The lead couple has a good chemistry with one another;
somehow they just seem to be a really good duo. The drama has that emotional feeling
to it, which makes you tearing, heck even cry - I know I did.
I would recommend it, but it probably
would be more interesting if you watched the first movie.
