“Mujhe Rang De” (An Unusual Beginning) Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
Loosely translated, the title of this series means ‘Color me’ and that is an apt description of this mosaic enterprise as it is a mixture of human drama along with a vibrancy of artistic expression. I hesitate to label it as a BL because it is clearly not; yet it is a love story.

With the Japanese so steep in traditions, rich in culture, and bursting with beautiful folklore, it is no wonder that they have a tale surrounding a mystical mirror that would allow you to enter into a world where you would become your idealized self where you are then the person that you really want to have others see you as. At a turning point in his life, Kano (Daigo Kotaro) takes the path to the mirror and makes his wish- that others in his just newly transferred department would see him differently. More like one of them than an isolated loner. In particular, he would like his ace and mentor Ogami (Nakagawa Daisuke) to view him more favorably than he does.
