『スクラップティーチャー』 VS 『セレブと貧乏太郎』

I am happy being able to watch two of 上地くん's dramas this season.

Having watched only the first episodes of both dramas, I am unable to say which role I prefer more as at now. I can see some similarities of the roles of 杉虎之助 in 『スクラップティーチャー』 and 佐藤太郎 in 『セレブと貧乏太郎』 to 上地くん's character. So it's enjoyable to watch both dramas. But I would prefer 『セレブと貧乏太郎』 as it focus more on him. In 『スクラップティーチャー』 they focus too much on those Hey Say Jump guys.

There is one unforgettable scene respectively for both dramas. In the last scene of 杉虎之助 at 『スクラップティーチャー』, 上地くん said 『なんとかぁ～なったぁ～』. This is the olden Japan saying. 上地くん said in his blog that he only said this during the acutal filming and all the staff laughed madly after "Cut" was shouted. Yes, I can imagine the scene of all the staff laughing like mad. 上地くん 's expression was so hilarious at that scene and he managed to say it such a normal way. (^-^)

In 佐藤太郎 last scene at 『セレブと貧乏太郎』 , when 太郎 looked at Alice with his sleepy hair and eyes, yes, that is funny. 上地くん is comical in both roles. I guess both roles are especially made for him.

Before I like 上地くん, I watched Rookies, and his acting as 江夏卓 really attracted my attention. He protrayed 江夏卓 well and that was why I think his acting skill is good. Hopefully more people will notice him of his acting skills rather than his おバカ　character.
