[SP] Nodame Cantabile ShinShun Special In Europe

Starring: Tamaki Hiroshi, Ueno Juri, Eita, Wentz Eiji, Becky, Mizukawa Asami...

Following the events from the drama, now Nodame and Chiaki are both furthering their studies in Europe in this two part special. The first part focuses on Chiaki and his performances in a Conductors' Competition. In France, they met French!Eiji the Otaku and Russian!Becky who will be classmates with Nodame. Chiaki also found strong new rivals in conducting and tried his best in the competition.

The second part... well, I can't say... =X

Blending humour with their tales of perseverance and passion for music, its such a fun drama to watch, I almost forgot how much I enjoyed the drama...

*****

Chiaki and Nodame are just the cutest thing! I like how Chiaki likes her and is so inspired by her yet wouldn't admit it but still took care of her... -that is, when he is not beating her up and throwing her around like a dummy-... xD

Especialy Chiaki, I mean, when Tamaki Hiroshi smiles, he has that... dimple and the wrinkles-at-the-end-of-the-eyes thing. That's a killer.

Well at least for me. And Wentz Eiji is just hilarious, and they have Becky! Becky with too much make up and tacky clothes, but me thinks Aiba likes Becky, so we like Becky too. (Oh, don't tell me he doesn't, watching lots of TSD has convinced me so.)

Ueno Juri, I know they say that she's a bitch off camera, but do I care? No, Nodame is just hilarious, so yeah, we kinda like her. I mean, SawaEri's a bitch, does anyone care?

This just motivated me to watch Tamaki Hiroshi's new drama "Shikaotoko Aonishiyori" or something like that... Whatever. I had the impression that he is a very serious man, but gosh, only in this drama we see the funny side of him. Well, when I first saw him in "Heavenly Forest" he was cute and stuff, but he looked so young, now he has this... mature aura. Nevermind.

Rating:
4/5

Its a good drama special.

[Drama] Nodame Cantabile

[Moved from my old blog.]

Starring: Juri Ueno, Hiroshi Tamaki...

Storyline: Chiaki Shinichi is a music student in a University... and then err... stuff happens to him? Malas aku nak explain banyak banyak, if you are interested you would Google it up. xD

I don't care about Nodame, but... Chiaki is love.I think when he doesn't smile, he looks really cold, yet when he does, it is so... kiut. xD

That girl who played Sachiko in "NANA" is in here too, her character is a far more likable character compared to Sachiko.

Besides Chiaki, there's Masumi! You cannot not like Masumi!!! He is hilariously, deeply in love with Chiaki. He loves him. xD When Chiaki needs him, he would literally fly to his side. Hilarious!

But of course, it is one-sided, as Chiaki is very hetero.

The fact that the drama is soooo predictable is a killer though. Prince-type guy, weird-lovable girl, together in the end. If I like the girl, then its better. But Juri Ueno bugs me. T_T And I like Hiroshi Tamaki. T_T

The girl looks a whole damn lot like Ayaya. Ayaya is scary. T_T Ayaya jumps around in umbrella shaped dresses and dances like... T_T Barney.

Oah I am traumatized. How could Chiaki do that? Oh I am ranting away...

Here's the thing about Japanese dramas, they are short, they progress really fast, and they are straight to the point. There is no beating round the bush.

I hate Hongkie or Taiwanese dramas that just go on and on and on. It wears off, the excitement, no matter how good the storyline.

Like "Bleach", I ain't watching it no more. Cos it is too mafan. 100++ episodes? Seriously. But I still collect it though, just to know the ending, or watch it when I have nothing better to do.
Anyways, I will finish "Nodame Cantabile" in a few hours. And then when I wake up, I will start with "Liar Game" or that Korean drama with HeeChul in it. xD If I watch it, it would be the first REAL Korean drama I watch. I never watch Korean dramas, not even the famous ones such as Winter Sonata or Autumn in My Heart or Lovers in Paris. I never watch more than a few episodes. And then I got bored, because it seems so repetitive.

Man falls in love with perfect/not-so-perfect-but-special woman/girl. Man pursues. Other man comes along and tries to pursue girl. Girl torn apart. Evil woman likes Man. Girl cries a lot. Man says something romantic. Other man does something more romantic. Girl loves Man. Other man heartbroken. Girl and Man almost got together. Evil woman or Other man ruins the chance. Then there is the ending.

The endings are:
1. Man and woman dies.
2. Other man dies.
3. Evil woman hooks up with Other Man, Man hooks up with Girl.
4. Someone goes blind.
5. They all die.
6. One of them dies.

Korean dramas revolve around the relationships, the crying and all that crap.
