[Drama] Seigi no Mikata

Summer 2008

Episodes:

Starring: Shida Mirai, Yamada Yu, Hongo Kanata, Mukai Osamu...

Nakata Yoko has a beautiful and intelligent elder sister named Makiko. Makiko is selfish, self-centred, evil and manipulative. Yoko is constantly tortured by her sister and forced to do things for her. But this side of Makiko, only Yoko knows. Their acquaintances all see Makiko as the perfect woman who is an ally of justice because Makiko's actions that are intended to benefit herself ended up helping others.

Nakata Yoko, nicknamed Kumako by Makiko, is an average looking girl of lower-than-average intelligence. She got dumped by her boyfriend when Makiko told him that she poops. (What, like seriously, do you think girls don't poop? SERIOUSLY WTF.) But then it turns out that her boyfriend has been banging girls and getting them pregnant. Yoko then encountered the most popular boy in school... Okamoto Riku. And yes, by the first episode you know stuff is going to happen.

Upon the first episode, Yoko has her eyes set on an elite young man who graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University. His name, is Yoshikawa Naoki, he loves the environment and is concerned about starving kids. He loves classical music. Everything that he stands for, Makiko does not. But she finds all the information out by sending Yoko to investigate.

How will their relationship progress? Will Yoko withstand the torture imposed on her by Makiko? Well. You know, I don't know. What am I? Psychic. Only the second episode is out. Geez. Well... I know you didn't ask... xD I am a sad lonely person. I talk to a blog. Cut me some slack.

*****

Episode 1 + 2:

It turns out, I was mistaken. No, Nino is not the spawn of the devil, neither is he devil incarnate. No... its not Nishikido Ryo as well. Its NOT the Maou a.k.a. Naruse Ryo. Its Nakata Makiko played by Yamada Yu. I kid you not. If I am born with such a sister I'd run away from home before I could even crawl.

Shida Mirai is a cute little girl isn't she? Cute and lucky. Bitch got to play lovey love games with not only Miura Haruma BUT also Hongo Kanata. But she's totally funny. Her expressions and everything. Well we have the future of Japanese movies and television all set eh? With the likes of Shida Mirai and Miura Haruma and Hongo Kanata. Ah, what a bright future it is! You would have expected me to throw in some Johnny's boys into the list but no. Takaki Yuya cannot hold a candle to the two boys I mentioned above. If Johnny's don't throw out boys of better quality, when Kame and Pi and Toma go down, they would have no replacement. Competition is tough.

The drama has a nonsensical tone to it. Makiko getting away with the worst things. Crazy parents ignorant of the shit happening to Yoko because of Makiko. Things.

And why is it that in Japanese dramas, girls will always be mean to other girls for the boys? WHY? Have the women no pride? Oh well, whatever. I'm hanging on to mine like its my life. Even if I die a spinster. Yesiree.

Yamada Yu is sooooooooo purty. xD She is. And skinny too. Well I gained a potbelly during the holiday. I think I am going on a diet. xD

I so need to sleep when I typed this. Who gives a shit about typos and grammatical mistakes? Who gives a shit about stupid airheaded comments on things like... say... Hongo Kanata's shipwreck of a set of teeth. Not me.

Upon finishing: TBA

Ratings: 3.5/5

[Drama] Summer 2008 Dramas

Yeah, since summer dramas are all going to start faster than you can say "I-would-rather-watch-evil!Ohno-instead-of-Dr.Pi-but-heck-I'll-watch-both" I am going to make a list for self reference, about which drama I should catch. But then I'll always end up catch only about 3 because I have short attention span and I am fussy.

I just don't watch any drama. It has to have enough starpower in the cast for me to watch it. AND, Johnny's-involved is preferred because I am biased like that. (This will lead to the "I know they are douchebags and they have no talent and stuff... but I am that addicted to them" argument, so I will just not go into it.)

I yakked enough about Maou and Code Blue (replacing Last Friends) so I will look into some others that are worth considering.

Seigi no Mikata

Yamada Yu and Shida Mirai. Now I really like Yamada Yu the model-turned-actress. She's (or was, god knows how fast these people go through boyfriends and girlfriends) dating Oguri Shun. They make a nice, tall couple eh? But rumour has it Shun is already cheating on her. He'd better not. RAWR. Shida Mirai is that girl in the drama "14 sai no Haha" acting as a middle schooler impregnated by Miura Haruma (or rather, his character). Didn't Miura Haruma impregnated Aragaki Yui in that movie as well? Geez, he has GOT TO stop impregnating schoolgirls. Really.

The drama will have the two playing sisters. Of course when you have a sister, you can expect lots of fights. I don't know, I don't have one. In the banner for the drama, Shida Mirai looks like Yamada Ryosuke from Hey! Say! JUMP. No, really, and its not Shida Mirai that looks like a boy, its more like Ryosuke looking like a girl, really.

Tomorrow

Stars the long forgotten (at least by myself) Takenouchi Yutaka (hot) and Kanno Miho. Hmm... actors of the older generation. What do I say? Let me think... I have never seen Kanno in anything other that "Itoshi Kimi e" because I wanted to watch "Watashi-tachi no Kyoukasho" but it seems so boring. A lot of her dramas seem too serious and boring that I just cannot take it. I like crap, I like pretty boys, I like to watch them crossdress, I like stupid people doing stupid stuff. So, yeah. Oh no wonder I haven't really seen a lot of Kanno Miho.

Takenouchi Yutaka... where did he disappear to? Err... gosh he's old. I know I have watched his dramas but I don't remember any scenes from the dramas. Classics like "Long Vacation" and "Beach Boys" oh and "Dekichatta Kekkon". Wow, thats... quite a lot. How come I only remember the last one I mentioned? Strange. Most probably cos he's old. xD

Kurokawa Tomoka (gag) and Edo Harumi (yay) will also appear in the drama. Its about doctors and nurses. I smell love between doctor and nurse. Whats up with all the doctor shit invading the dramasphere anyways?

Shibatora

Koike Teppei. Rookie cop who looks like a loli-shota host. Fighting crimes.

Nuff said. I mean, look at Teppei! Cute as a button. Deffo' qualified loli-shota. xD

Koizora

I don't think I will watch this seriously. I just included this in the list to remind myself what a failure looks like. I am not the world's best predictor person thingie whatever. But... that dude playing Miura Haruma's character is so... duh. And that girl... cannot hold a candle to Aragaki. The movie was too well-received and a this was a doomed failure from the very beginning. Casting a newbie for the main character is just... well... it spells failure cos these two are not as hot as Haruma and Yui. Period!
