[Discussion] Last Cinderella

I pretty much feel the same as most of you. I was amazed[in a good way] to see a japanese drama that talks so openly about sex, in which characters actually kiss [well they still have to work on that one I guess, but that's still better than touching lips by the end of the last episode] and ...unimaginable, they actually have sex. I know a drama is more than that and there are some great dramas out there with really bad kisses[nonexistent in fact, I don't call touching lips kissing] but...still, I would be so happy if Last Cinderella opened a path and...educated the japanese public about this.I mean, kissing or having sex is not something shameful that shouldn't even be shown on tv.and ...ok, I can understand if you don't show that much if it's a sex scene, 'cause it's not porn after all, but kissing? what's wrong with kissing? that's something normal in any romantic relationship.
Ok, other than that, the pace was a little bit slow ...in episode 9 actually happens what should have happened a few episodes ago, it would have been great if every episode was this full of events...but I still love it and I want to see who gets the girl. I think both tachibana and hiroto have their pros and cons. Hiroto is the one who made her fall in love, he's the reason why she's glowing with happiness and everything...but at the same time, tachibana was always taking care of her from the shadow, to say so, and he is def. more appropiate for marriage because there's no age difference between them.hiroto says he's prepared to get a job, become a "proper" adult, even have children with her, but that might as well only be his feelings at the moment, because he's in love. but would it actually be this easy to do as he says? won't he get tired of it once the lovey dovey feeling is gone? someone told me once that the couples that don't end up divorcing after a few years of marriage are those that are friends beforehand, not only lovers. because once the burning passion is gone, the two of them are only left with a bond of friendship. and we know very well that she has this beautiful friendship with tachibana. but then again, I'll feel sorry for Hiroto too if she ends up with tachibana after actually putting his heart into it. I really don't know if i'm rooting for hiroto or tachibana lol. I'll just wait and see what's their take on this. :D

Yaay for Tachibana's team! I seriously demand that she ends up with Rintaro.

Whoops. You're right. I'm always mixing character names. Thanks for the correction.

tachibana team's here!!! but he's so slow ughhh

boutux wrote: Lol royal rumble in the forums. Team Hiroto vs team tachibana.

*lol* Which one is my team, I can't decide!! One minute I hope she'll end up with Tachibana, the next I'm hoping for Hiroto to tell her the truth and it will be okay.... sooo confusing! (Are j-dramas always this confusing? *lol* I was just as confused when watching Hana yori dango...)

... Or... I don't know; it's just that Hiroto is so serious about Sakura; he didn't care about her at all to start with, but now I feel that he really does love her. When I really think about it, it's her feelings that I am unsure of. I mean, of course she likes him, but is it truly deep love or just a crush that grew from his sudden and unexpected courtship?? (But they do have lots of fun together… Also, what Boutux said [QUOTE=boutux;387210]spoiler ** 1st off real kisses (only good kisses i've seen till now was matsujun's in kimi wa petto), hiroto kissed her like he wanted it and he took it ...kyaaaaaa! lol. 2nd. a love scene. granted it was cut but what they showed was sexy and enough to get me excited. i have not seen anything like it in a japanese drama......if there is better someone send me a link. ** I agree, I liked that scene! (Except that I haven’t seen very many dramas yet so I can’t really compare but spoiler**I liked those kisses) ** And now after episode 9, I don’t know what to think…

On the other hand, what she has with Tachibana is something else! She can’t see it yet, but it does seem likely that their constant bickering is sort of a code for something else… ;) They have this connection and understanding of each other that could mean that they’d make a great couple… Or maybe they’re just meant to be great friends?!

Yes, I’m confused and I know it…

I’m not confused about Chiyoko; she’s obsessed, maybe to the point of being completely crazy? Hm… like I said, I haven’t seen very many dramas yet, but in half of the dramas I have seen, including the ones I’m currently watching, there is a crazy obsessed woman! I’m starting to think this is something that is to be expected… ;)

That's exactly how I feel... The relationship with Tachibana is probably the most reasonable option, but! The things with Hiroto has to reconcile, and I feel like they should try it for a little longer... but that won't happen because we're running of of episodes.. But Hiroto really care for her and he needs somebody like her. Still Tachibana probably loves her more... GAH... doushiyo?

CheerfulSoul wrote: OMG Tachibana's team is so awesome!

Aside from the fact that I like her relationship with Tachibana better; I believe it's quite logical if she ends up with him not only because they have the same age but also because I feel an interesting bond between them even stronger than the one with Hiroto.
However, she needs to see him as a man first! She never gave herself a chance to see Rintaro from another angle, I have high hopes that this will happen in the next episode.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Lol.

The only man she needs to be seeing as a man is the man she saw last epi. And lots more of him so we can see more of him too. That was too hot to only get once. Lol. Team hiroto! Lol

so many things happened in the episdoe 9th, I really need a friend to talk to, and in the end bump into MDL forum,it's been a while I didnt visit mdl forum, so Last Cinderella is popular here huh,, the story kinda slow, everything just happened in ep 9th, Do u think that it's too late, ughh this is what I hate about Jdrama, i support Sakura-Tachibana, and the ending of ep 9th hinting that sakura will end up with Tachibana, my complaint as #TeamTachibana, I will get lack of Sakura-Tachibana lovey-dovey moment ecause of the slow pace. omg how I wish to see Fujiki Naohito hot scene, please make it superhot PD-san!! but I think it wouldnt be really intense, since he's already married in real life, huh
