First episode of a foreign drama

My favorite foreign drama is glee. “glee” mean is not only chorus, also set free myself and be delighted. This story is musical and comedy story.

  Main character is glee’s advisor Will Schuester. He is a Spanish teacher and when he was a high school student, he was glee club’s member and he was glee’s star. So he became a teacher and return to his school. He wants to be revival glee club, and he invited new member. However, gathered all members who are not clear-headed although it is good at singing. A too self-conscious girl who dreams a star is Rachel Berry. Plump and diva, African-American girl is Mercedes Jones. A boy who is bullied by friends because he is gay is Kurt Hummel. A boy who rides a wheelchair and wears black glasses is Artie Abrams. And a Korean-American girl who has the habit of stammering is Tina-Cohen-Chang. New glee club started only 5 people. Their group name is New Directions. One day Will schuester heard boy was singing, and his good singing voice. And he decided to invite to the good voice boy. His name is Finn Hudson who was belonged to American football club. Of course Finn refused the invitation, but Will’s strategy and his feelings which he likes singing were moved his mind. And he joined New Directions.

This story’s main is glee’s activity and growth, but Will’s life is contains too. For example it deals with his family’s issue in 1^st story. His wife told a lie which she got pregnant, and she asked him to change his job. She wants him to get a good job better than teacher, for instance an accountant. He refused her offer at first, but finally he consented to her offer because she got pregnant. So he resigned from teacher, and glee club faced a crisis.

 A lot of character appears in this drama. My favorite character is Emma Pillsbury. Will Schuester often consult with her. She is counselor in this high school, and she often gives some advice for glee members. But her advices are mostly rather beside the point. Her action and advices are funny, so I like her.

 And this story deal with member’s relationships, sexuality and social issues. For example it contains religion in love relation. Not only funny drama, also we can learn a lot of things drama.
