I introduce my favorite, overseas TV drama, “The O.C.”. A few months ago, some of
my friends were talking about this drama. I know that such dramas as The O.C. have
long episodes, so I didn’t feel like watching them. And my close friend told me what an
amusing drama it is. Actually I couldn’t get what he was saying well. But I was getting
interested in it. Then I went to TSUTAYA and rented the volume 1 to 5 of The O.C. and
watched them. It was so much more exciting than I expected! Moreover, the 100 yen per
1 DVD cost was a good price for me. So, let me talk about the story that is worth
watching.
The story is set in California. There were brothers, Trey and Ryan. The bigger one
Trey was drunk, and stole a car with Ryan. Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) couldn’t stop his
brother, and then they ran away from the police chase. And they were caught. Trey was
arrested, and Ryan was released. His mother Dawn picked him up and shouted at him.
The lawyer, Sandy Cohen was worried about Ryan, and gave him a memo with his
phone number written on it. And saw him off. Dawn’s car got the home in Chino, there
was Dawn’s lover AJ. He hated Ryan, and beat him. He and Dawn threw Ryan out from
the house. He got out with his bike, and called all his friends from a public telephone.
He couldn’t contact anyone. Instead, he found the memo and called Sandy. After that
Sandy came to pick him up and took Sandy home in Orange County, with his bike.
At Cohen’s, Sandy’s wife Kirstin and the son Seth were there. Seth was same age as
Ryan, and he had many comic books and little friends. They got along with each other
soon, Seth was really excited to meet him, and welcomed him. However, Kirstin
watched out for Ryan, and worried about Seth. Sandy suggested that staying home to
Ryan. Seth was glad so much, Kirstin opposed but not strongly, and Ryan hesitated.
Then the time was late so they decided to let Ryan stay the night there.
The next door’s girl, Marissa was waiting for her boy friend in front of the home.
Ryan saw her, and couldn’t take his eyes off of her. They talked for a short time, then
Marissa’s boyfriend who drove a big great truck came, and they had gone. Ryan’s
stormy life began.
This story never goes along our expectations. That is why I said “the story is worth
watching”.
