Well I didn't really feel like watching any anime one day and neither did I feel like reading any manga(ZOMGWTF) but then I blame this on the weather and the holidays because I tend to not want to do anything if I have to go out during the day. Mainly because I'm too tired when I get home so yeah, I have been doing nothing except watching dramas.
Oh and also because I needed an idea for Project OrgEditor. The theme being HOME SWEET HOME: an advertisement or promotion of animemusicvideos.org.
Unfortunately I don't really consider the org my home or anything so that makes it a little difficult for me to make something dedicated to a website. But then I don't really have any websites I consider a home, sure I might go on them everyday or pretty often but that enthusiasm often dies after a short while so I was pretty stumped for ideas. Then I remembered Live Action sources were allowed this time and that kinda made me think about using a drama cause...you know, I'm a drama addict haha. Most my friends know I watch drama on TV everyday and I don't like being disturbed when I watch them and etc etc.
Anyway I had to first pick a song and normally I just open iTunes, hit shuffle and listen until I get an idea. But after about 10-15 songs I only had 2 ideas and they were too complicating to execute or would take me 5 trillion years to get the source and everything and I only have ONE WEEK. So those 2 ideas were out. Oh and because I thought they sucked so I wouldn't want to edit it anyway HAHA.
Then after a while of sitting there with video block, a drama on TV came on and I started watching the opening and I thought it had a very sweet and happy feeling to it.
The main female character has intellectual disabilities so her mental IQ is around that of a 10 year old. The main male character is your typical spoilt rich young man who would never succeed in life if it wasn't for his family's wealth and then we find out their struggles in life, in particular the main male lead. Personally I thought the show started off hilarious, it has a nice comedy side of it but after a while the cuteness sinks in and even later...the drama. Episode 13 just aired today but I think it's a pretty good show. I will be using the themesong to edit but I have yet to find a source. I wanted to use this drama but it hasn't finished airing yet so that's not very helpful. Anyway for those interested the title is: My Sister Of Eternal Flower. A little googling and you will find plenty of sites to watch it but for those lazy gits out there:

MY RATING: 7/10.
I loved the start because of the comedy then it got a little boring and I occasionally skipped episodes. Also the ending was really poorly done.

Mind you, I'd also take the time just now to advertise this absolutely epic drama about law too. It's very interesting and is definitely good for those who like a little comedy mixed with seriousness and mystery. It's our family favourite just now as everybody is watching it. Basically the male lead is helping bring justice to the poor civilians just to prove to the world that law is fair and money isn't everything because even the rich can get sent to jail if they're guilty. The title is: Ghetto Justice.

Still enjoyable so far. Interesting cases though two of the characters irk me slightly...

And lastly the current drama I'm watching. Smiling Pasta. For me I felt the style was done very anime/manga-like. A very shoujo-ish storyline. Xiao Shi has had 17 boyfriends, none of which have lasted longer than 3 months. A love curse made by her first love: Ah Zhe. Then along comes He Qun, famous idol and singer who while running from the paparazzi after seeing his love Rita leave with Ah Zhe, bumps into Xiao Shi in the street, knocks her over and kisses her. Accidentally of course. And to prevent the media from saying that He Qun was two-timing and cheating on Rita his supposed girlfriend, his manager suggests that the two pretend to be a couple to help protect He Qun's reputation and career.

Very shoujo-like storyline. Is cutesy but their morales and the character's attitude is somewhat annoying after a while but it was still a good watch. Also has good drama and a nice round ending.
I seriously cannot stand the stream quality for the many websites I've tried. And most the downloads look like trash too. This is the best quality version I have found. (Oh I needed good quality mainly because I was planning to edit with it haha)
