Two dramas down, 283363563 to go...

Livejournal! I've been neglecting you, I'm sorry. Life just got really busy all of a sudden. (Perhaps most embarrassing is that my reaction to the sudden craziness wasn't "oh, my social life!" but "I AM FALLING BEHIND ON ALL MY DRAMAS, WHY, WHYYY").

Anyway, I did manage to watch Soredemo -

I expected the Ririka thing to last much longer, so I was really quite pleased when it didn't.

[darkeyedwolf]

I SEE YOU'VE BEEN ON TUMBLR TOO.

[darkeyedwolf]

*clings* I feel like I'm so far behind! WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHAT'S NEW? WHAT TANGO SCENES HAVE I MISSED?

Zenkai Girl! MY GOD! My heart broke at Souta's tear in that ending!

Souta's tears made me wibble, but Pitaro's seriously made me bawl. ;________; HIS HAPPY LITTLE FACE SHOULD NEVER BE SAD.

LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT OTHER DRAMAS. I WILL DEDICATE MYSELF TO CATCHING UP ON THE ONES I ALREADY HAVE. ONLY... UH... NINE MORE TO GO. YES. I CAN DO IT.

Neither kid should cry! Ever! It should be a law. (Oh oh, but speaking of their assorted traumas - HOW HILARIOUS WAS WAKABA'S LECTURE ON THE CIRCLE OF LIFE? "Baby chicks aren't for cuddling, they're for breeding and eating." THEIR FACES.)

more smart Wakaba/Shindo

OMG DO YOU SHIP THEM TOO? AM I NOT ALONE? Wakaba and Shota are amazing, obviously, but... I can't totally shake the sexy flirty supermarket-underwear OTP.

(And Jesus, that rock he bought. IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM, WAKABA, HAND HIM OVER TO ME.)

[darkeyedwolf]

I appreciate the nudity, but man, I was really hoping that scene wouldn't make the drama. Kyouya deserved to be PUNCHED IN THE FACE.

[pgmoonshine]

Oh man, I know right? THANK YOU. That was a ragestroke moment.

[strawberry_fzz]

Soredemoooooo. Omg, I love Futaba. I just want her and Hiroki to run away together and make a billion cute/awkward babies and be happy. D: But then I remember that kind of behavior is frowned down upon in jdrama land so of course it won't happen any time soon. ;__;

Ryo, I'm sorry for teasing you, too. He's capable of subtle acting! \D:/ And he's so good at those crying scenes, it's not even funny!

[darkeyedwolf]

HIS MOTHER TOTALLY APPROVES. IT COULD HAPPEN. As long as Fumiya hasn't gone on a killing spree. D:

Ryo, I'm sorry for teasing you, too. He's capable of subtle acting!

It's like bizarro world! He's in a drama that's actually awesome and his acting is exactly what it should be. I'm shipping him with the right person and no one has died or been domestically abused. IS THIS THE REAL LIFE??

[strawberry_fzz]

Can't believe I forgot to comment on how amazing Otake Shinobu (Hiroki's mom) is! Actually, the entire cast is really great.

Soredemo and Zenkai are so different yet I'm hooked on both. I always watch Soredemo first and then pad all the depression with Zenkai's fluffiness. XD

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE??
I know right!? D: I'm half expecting Souta to snap in the final episode and go Fumiya on them all (Except Hinata and Wakaba of course, who would just sigh and sit on him before putting him under citizen's arrest.)

[darkeyedwolf]

Otake Shinobu, huh? *wikis* Ooh, I see her in a few dramas that have been languishing on my "keep meaning to watch" list...

WAIT, SHE WAS IN "WELCOME TO THE QUIET ROOM"? LOL. LOLOLOL. That movie was about a bunch of weird/quirky/disturbed patients in a psych ward. I WONDER WHICH ONE SHE PLAYED.

I always watch Soredemo first and then pad all the depression with Zenkai's fluffiness. XD

XD I'm the opposite. I can't watch Soredemo before other dramas because it's so fucking good it kills my mood to watch anything else.

Except Hinata and Wakaba of course, who would just sigh and sit on him before putting him under citizen's arrest

Pitaro would join him, though. Clutching a knife and flashing his daddy's smile. "WHO'S THE CRYBABY NOW?"

[miss_magrat]

Woo, you're back! Real life is seriously no fun.

Zenkai Girl!!! ♥ It's still weird for me to see Ryo as a part of a canon OTP I actually approve of. Entirely new experience! But I don't think my default reaction to him ("LOL RYO") is ever gonna change XD

(Meanwhile, I went completely insane for Protect the Boss, with raw-watching and everything. Completely out of nowhere, it became my second favourite drama of the season o_0 I'm shipping OT4 for the first time since Mary and it's AWESOME.)

[darkeyedwolf]

Bah, real life. It's nothing more than that irritating time between drama marathons.

It's still weird for me to see Ryo as a part of a canon OTP I actually approve of. Entirely new experience!

LOLOLOL YES. YES, EXACTLY. I can't remember the last time he wasn't a creep/stalker/death-dealing schoolteacher. And this is the definitely the first time I've seen him woo a girl without someone ending in a grave.

(I've heard awesome things about PTB's heroine. Glad to know it has your approval too! :D)

[miss_magrat]

A nice guy! Genuinely nice guy! Someone you wouldn't chase away from your friend with a stick! I'm almost convinced it was a mistake, like a car mix-up or something, Ryo ended up on ZG set with no idea what's going on and just went along with it.

Anyway, I'm really glad I'm watching this drama. Sometimes all you need is just a happy romcom where the cliches are done with enthusiasm. (The kind that will cheer you up in case Soredemo ends in tears DD: Do we know by now how long this one's gonna be btw?)

I can't remember the last time he wasn't a creep/stalker/death-dealing schoolteacher.

I was gonna say Ryuusei no Kizuna, but then remembered that no, it's Kudo Kankuro and he was selling porn. It's just the memory of the incestuous OT3 that has temporarily clouded my mind.

[darkeyedwolf]

Someone you wouldn't chase away from your friend with a stick!

Or beat with a desk lamp? :D :D BEST PART OF LAST FRIENDS.

For some reason I always wind up slashing Ryo when I'm not supposed to. Date/Kudo, Ryuzaki/Aoi... he may or may not have legitimate love interests, but something about his wibbly uke faces just scream "TAKE ME, OLDER MENTOR PERSON."

No clue on Soredemo, I'm guessing 10-11 eps? I know the raws at up to ep 9 and none of them say finale.
