The Quiz Show 1

After I finished watching The Quiz Show 2 with Sho and Yoko, I decided to watch the first season. I didn't expect it to have many similarities in the characters as well as in the final episode.

The Quiz Show 1 is pretty much the same premise as season 2, a quiz show where the contestants are asked 7 questions and after answering those questions they get the chance to fulfill one of their dreams. The host of the show is MC Tazaki a really weird character, that confronts the contestants with personal questions in order to make them admit their sins. He does an amazing job as a host, but is a very mysterious person, this is due to the fact that he lost his memory.

 

The other important character is the producer of the Show, Yamanobe,  who controls Tazaki's every move, he holds the key to unlock Tazaki's memory, and is the one that chooses the contestants and the questions. In several episodes he mentions the relation btwn the contestant and one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
 

 

I found this show interesting, the thing is after watching season 2 I have to say this show lacked character development, the episodes were really short 23 - 26 min long I think, so there wasn't really much time for the contestants to develop their story. But overall it was a good show that entertains you.

When I decided to watch this drama I didn't expect it to have so many similarities with season 2.
 

• Both MC had amnesia
• In the first episode, we have singers as contestants and both killed someone and both didn't get to accomplish their dream.
• In episode 2 we have female contestants that betray their own selves in order to achieve what they wanted, both won the Dream Chance.
• In episode 4 we have fortunetellers as contestants that wanted to promote their new fortunetelling technique, but are just fake people that at the end had to admit it.
• Now to the final episodes, both had the MCs as the contestants and recover their memory thanks to Yamanobe and Honma. They admit they committed a crime. In the final episode the roles are inverted and now the contestants are Yamanobe and Honma, both discover that they are the ones who committed the crime and discover a shocking truth.

There are more similarities both those are the most important in my opinion.

Lastly I liked Honma's DREAM CHANCE dance in season 2 but Yamanobe's is pretty interesting too. Here is the link to watch it www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6hmy94ZK9s&feature=related 
Tazaki's wasn't as good as Sho's it was really disappointing.
