summary

the story starts with the riko and naoki sitting at the park, sharing food and chatting causally together. naoki asked when did she started playing violin, and she replied when she was in grade 3 in elementray school. naoki shared that he also started playing basket ball when he was that age. naoki said he was picked by the coach while riko said she saw her cousin playing the violin at her place and hence pleaded with her dad. riko went on to explain why violin was an expensive passion. meanwhile, mami her friend walked passed the court and saw them and with much surprised curiosity, she inched in closer to hear what riko was so engrossed in sharing.
mami was puzzled as to why riko was saying so much to a stranger, and spillinger her guts out as well...

when they got home, riko said he doesnt know the guy. mami asked then why on earth did she talked soooo much. riko expressed she has no idea but he sure was a super good listener...and even gave her an onigiri. riko went on to muttered plus he is an amazing basketballer..which mami said she had no idea what riko is going on about.

on naoki end, his mum is busy cleaning up to welcome nanami visiting their place. of course naoki's gf suck up to his family members by buying belated birthday flower to his sister, and pretended to be some homely domestic girl offering to make the meal.

as for riko and mami, they were going for their double date with the coach. mami was saying she has no expectation since the coach is zooming in straight at riko . riko turned to ask if she really thought so. mami pretended to be annoyed and sacasticaly teased riko that she is pissed becoz riko is carrying on as if she is super popular..[hahaha.i love mami's sense of humour. she is damn funny.]

riko quickly clarified otherwise that she just felt everything is going so fast and smooth and that its like almost the reaching end point kind of feeling. just then, they spotted the guys and mami got super excited seeing her date. her hopes was raised and couldnt stop drolling over him..

during dinner, they started chatting and naoki sister revealed about how worried naoki was that night when he couldnt reach her, nanami's face froze as she recalled she was whoring herself that night with the other basketballer yoyogi. she made some excuse that she had slept early but naoki said it was alright when she apologised. her phone rang, it was the guy yoyogi she slept with. he asked her where she was and she replied at her bf place. and she told him to buzz off and not to get the wrong idea just becoz she had slept with him once. the guy listened to a dead line and said to himself, 'indeed my sort of girl'.

at the date, mami learnt that the coach was a super player in his time, but becuase of his knee injury, he had to quit but still is a super excellent coach. when he said the coach is still someone he admired since uni. the coach on the otherhand was asking belatedly if riko is attached. if she wasnt, he is super lucky. if she is, he has to work harder. riko laughed and said she is single.
'then i am lucky..' the coach smiled and said.

when nanami was leaving the place, naoki gave her a chaste kiss. she felt dissatisfed and asked for another one. naoki looked at her puzzled and she brushed off her desire for a long passionate kiss and pretended nothing was wrong. however when alone, she gave a long drag ...at that time, riko and mami walked past nanami, while chatting about what they love about dating a mature man.

that night , naoki thought about his childhood and his buzzer beat score. however how long can i extend this dream naoki asked himself.

on another day, naoki and 3 other players were sent to teach the school kids basketball. at the same time, naoki was asked and he shared why he got interested into basket. his gf by the side heard and also learnt for the first time the reason.

at the bar, the coach told riko the place is a regular spot for him and his players to unwind. he observed and commented that riko seemed a little tensed and wary and he laughed asking her to relax, and that he wont kissed her suddenly on a first date. riko laughed and said she was worried about that. meanwhile, riko voluteered to sew back a loose button on the caoch jacket.

at home, naoki sister was googling the flower interpretation that nanami had given her. '
'seduction'. she said. 'sounds not bad' her mum commented.
'the thrill of danger, the danger of a relationship' ' playing with fire' naoki sister went on. the mum got alerted and brushed it off saying that only the first definition is enough.

naoki was at nanami's place and after playing, he said he has to leave to a surprised nanami.
she looked somewhat disappointed.

walking alone, the coach expressed his shock when he saw her bleeding finger and she laughed saying she sucked most at home economics. and she had to care for her fingers due to violin. just as she was leaving, the coach told her to call him by his name or he feel like was at work.
'tomoya' she was repeating to get use to calling him by his name and the coach sneaked a kiss attack. 'u lied' she said. 'sometimes.' he said.

he shared that he fell in love with her the first time he saw her and when she turned around during the fireworks. 'so this is destiny' he had thought to himself then. he held her hand and said he meant everyword and then he really liked her, before leaning over for another deep kiss.

riko walked home with a silly happy grin. she said 'such a good kisser'.
'is it really alright to fall in love so quickly.' she grined and said. mami asked if it with the coach and she smiled and said 'u wanna know' mami screamed and said yes but riko teased saying no she isnt going to say... and went on laughing....

meanwhile, yoyogi found out naoki is nanami's bf. he went to visit her place and pestered her. she rejected him. however he called and said he joined the team because of her and said that during teh friendly match, if he fared and scored more than naoki, she would be his gf. if naoki fared better. he would continued the undergrd affair with her. she refused.

at the court, it was a friendly match between naoki's team and naoki's uni basketball team.
the coach placed naoki on the bench with the purpose of training him to play under pressure as his weakness has always been faltering in the crucial time.

riko and mami appeared upon the coach invitation and as they passed nanami, mami commented she doesnt like nanami type of girl, because she just is an eye sore.

as the match progress, riko spotted naoki on the bench to her shock. she told mami about it.
'its like a dream. so he is this team player. to think i will see him here. why is he on the bench when he is such an amazing player' riko went on confiding in mami.

when the time was near, the coach gave naoki's his playtime and asked him to do his best.
however, naoki was unable to perform at all. he kept missing the shots and mami thought he was such a lousy player and riko was very surprised at this sudden bad performance on naoki's part.
mami commented that since naoki is on court, he messed up the whole team rythm.
riko got increasingly worried about what she was seeing.

when naoki had the chance to score the penalty ball, mami commented he is sure to miss judging from his earlier performance. naoki truly missed the first one.
just as i expected, mami muttered.

at the 2nd chance, riko sensed the hesitance at naoki part. he was worried, self doubting.
at that, riko flared up and yelled at naoki in front of everyone present.
'Hey number 8. ARE YOU DAY DREAMING? BEING SO WISHY WASHY, WORRYING HERE AND THERE, ARE U AN IDIOT? IS THIS ALL YOU HAVE AND CAPABLE OF?

nanami ran over to riko and excused riko to stop yelling as she is disrupting the match. Riko ignored her completely and continued yelling.
'U OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE TALENT AND CAPABILITY, A GENUIS SO WHY ARE U PLAYING SO LOUSY. IF U ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT I SAID, THEN PLAY BETTER AND PROVE ME WRONG. YOU ARE EXCELLENT AND STRONG AND CAN PLAY VERY WELL. U MORON.'

the coach on the side laughed when he heard riko calling naoki a idiot. mami meanwhilke apologised to nanami on riko behalf saying she wasnt aware of the rules. riko was still fuming after her outburst.

naoki got back to playing and he got the ball in. riko was overwhelmed and happy. however..seeing everyone's eyes on her..she scrambled away.

throughout the game, naoki played excellently scoring every ball. the coach uttered 'his binding chains have come off' naoki even scored a buzzer beat ball. after the game, naoki looked ard for riko but she had disappeared, leaving only mami behind. outside the stadium, naoki asked nanami if she saw riko and she said riko had left ha;fway. 'did u know her' nanami asked. he said no and said he will look for her. after he left, yoyogi appeared and asked her what she is pretending about before walking off.

alone by herself, riko answered the coach's call. thanks for today for scolding and awaking my player the coach said. she is regreting she said. 'do u know him' the coach asked. riko said no and explained they only met ocassionaly at the court.

at home, she was still squriming at her outburst. she heard basket ball and she saw naoki training by himself again. she rushed down to the park.

earlier, sorry for yelling at u. however i am the sort to say whatever is on my mind. she said. but you left halfway. naoki said. 'i was embarrased at the stares.'. riko replied. 'i should be the one to feel embarrassed.' naoki said. 'thats right. i'm sorry again.' riko said.

'however thanks' naoki said.
'i'm grateful to you for seemingly giving me the courage.' naoki said.
' at least watch till the end since u have alreayd yelled at the player, u missed the buzzer beat. come watch the offical match the next time. with your presence, you seem to give me strength. maybe for fear of being called an idiot again.' naoki said.
'i wont make the same mistake again. however but yes i will go, because i am your fan.' riko laughed.

' a scary fan' naoki joked
'this is fan's love' riko said.

that night, as she was leaving the court, riko turned ard to ask naoki for his name so that she knows what to scold him the next time. after they exchanged their names, she discovered they were same age at 24. 'goodnight then kamiya kun' riko said and then turned ard. naoki waved goodbye and so did she.

the epside ended with the poster ' love makes me strong.'

AFTERTHOUGHT

Buzzer Beat is definitely a must watch for me this season.




I just finished watching ep 2 and it was pretty funny esp when Naoki got scolded by riko publicly at the court during a friendly match because he was being wishy washy in his match, and couldnt perform to his optimal potential. that scene was really good when she blasted him and she was squirming after that for the outburst. Riko's best bff mami is also damn funny with her opinions on guys.

i will write more summary later when i have the time, i just want to recommend it as this drama has good potential. right now i just want to slap naoki's gf because she is such a pretenious witch, a fake and a major disgusting fraud. naoki and riko looked sooo good together and riko is sooo cute in this drama, very real, very likeable. the scene when she got kissed by the coach, and went home grinning like a silly cat had me laughing and rooting for her. and when she waved goodbye to naoki at the basketball court, i so wanted to cheer both of them on....such lovely dynamics.

ok. later then. if u havent catch on to buzzer beat, quickly jump on the wagon now!!! oooooo..i cannot wait for the next episode, HOT BODS ON THE BEACH...I want to feast my eyes on those hot bods playing beach ball...haaaa haaaa. slurp slurp... need to go wipe up my trail of drool now
