i downloaded the first episode and played the file thru vlc but there are no subs ):

nah no one's ever too old for anything. shoujo isn't always cringey it's just very stereotypical and cliche, which i get bored with personally. i've always been attracted to stories with mystery in it and shoujo doesnt really have that

ooh the childhood flashbacks sound interesting im always into that stuff. yea idk i know it's almost impossible to change how shoujo manga work so i usually just stay away from this kind of stuff lol but a lot of actors i like get cast in those kind of movies and dramas and this movie wasnt TOO cringey for me to drop it haha

i kind of got that from the movie actually! like i could totally tell that chiba yudai's character was supposed to be a sadist but since there wasn't any solid proof, i thought i was just imagining it lmao and i kinda got that from nakajima kento too but tbh he cant act so the message wasnt entirely clear... i kind of wish they showed more so i can see sadist chiba yudai lol if he was abusive too then no thanks, but chiba yudai's never really had a tough or aggressive role. yea i tried to look for a more detailed plot or character summary from the manga bc i wanted to see if she really was evil but there was nothing.

damn i already knew she was gonna end up with kurosaki but i got second lead syndrome so bad ): chiba yudai is so good at acting hurt... the story is so cliche with two best friends going after the same girl, one being super nice and one being very violent (basically borderline abusive ew) but i feel like it's not as slow and painful as other shoujo live actions? lol tbh though it sometimes totally felt like a BL bc of the moments between kurosaki and shirakawa. also anyone else think meiko was gonna be super evil? ever since the drama sp, i thought she got closer to yuu just to use her to get to kurosaki... never thought she would actually be nice in the end

ig i might be the only one but i read comments to see if a drama is any good... if people only said what they found what was good in a drama and never commented on what was bad, people would be left thinking a drama is perfect and worth watching even if it isnt

as a matsuzaka tori fan, this drama was a great watch. he did such a great job and i think this has to be my favorite role of his so far. i find this drama to be a little different bc i don't feel any strong emotion from it that i normally feel when watching a japanese drama. it is interesting since a lot happens, but the comment from Key Lock on the last episode on kissasian pretty much sums up why this drama isn't that great. i would say, definitely be careful of spoilers bc the twist in this drama is incredible.

my first time watching something where ayano go had a main role and im so impressed but tbh now i wont ever look at him in the same way...meaning when i see him without facial hair, i think it looks so strange lol but yea this drama was really good! the mysteries are so unusual too.. i was able to sort of figure out the first one but then they just got more and more confusing. also dying to know the actors that played niwa and kiyoto...cant find their names anywhere ):

only watched this for matsuzaka tori so i wasnt expecting much but DAMN i was hit with those emotions... i think there's a lot of background missing personally but i think it was done that way to build up a hype for a part two lol and dude seriously... sumida moeno as tei... how can a child be so good at acting? i thought she was incredible, even better than mattsun lmao

thanks so much! hope it's ok that i comment here that i took it instead of commenting on your lj!

this drama was great, was entertained throughout the whole thing! i actually wasnt expecting much bc i tried to watch the anime a long time ago and didnt like it (totally dont remember why) but i was actually impressed. character development was great and acting was decent but still impressive imo. i think the only thing that doesnt sit well with me (besides the fact that such handsome and endearing guys dont exist but this drama is fictional lol) is the lack of chemistry between kyohei and sunako. i think both kamenashi kazuya and oomasa aya acted great in their roles because i felt the love between them, but i think the scenes between the both of them just werent pushed as much as they could have been? it could also have been because there wasnt any visible sign that sunako was into kyohei but idk it's hard to judge to see if was lack of skill from the producer or just the way the story was written

oh thank you so much! looking forward to it hehe good luck!

wish this had subs! rly want to see the idol trio from suikyuu yankees in another work together

read the reviews and comments but still wanted to see for myself if it was any good. i cant even finish the first episode because there's literally so much conflict. i'm sure the issues coming across are issues that are constant in the workforce, but if this drama really doesnt develop at all, then there's absolutely no point in watching it. it's such a disappoint bc i enjoy the cast, but to have all the conflict left unsolved, it's such a waste of time

i agree with you, you point out all the things that stuck with me... i mean i already had a feeling that hatori would end up with rita but i was hoping and hoping that my initial thoughts would be changed...then they werent /-:

wrote a whole post about this movie bc i just had to let it all out man.. contains spoilers if you're interested in reading http://deathescent.tumblr.com/post/145701300201/ok-so-i-have-so-much-to-say-about-heroine

tbh the movie was slow but i think it really suited the storyline. it follows the manga very well and the movie does a good job of portraying the same vibe and emotions the manga does, which i find pretty rare. the actors were great, too. i know hirose tomoki is a pretty stiff actor, but i'm biased since i love him hehe. i think he really suited the role of touji though because he executes the playful, innocent aura touji has in the manga. it could have just been me but he even added a little sensuality i never felt from touji before lol. yamada takeshi was incredible! played his role so well. overall the movie was great and im so glad i finally got to watch it after waiting for so long haha

lol now that you're pointing it out, i see it too!

definitely have to say that one of my favorite parts of this drama was the relationship between yamaneko and mao-chan... to me, he was very fatherly (in his own sense) to her or even like an older brother. i wonder if their actors have a similar relationship behind the camera

yea i know haha it was just fewer times i expected so i was a lil salty
