Is it really obvious I'm procrastinating? BAMBINOOOOO
A long rambly BAMBINO first impression.
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN.
I like watching Jun put things in his mouth. IMMEDIATELY when I heard of the concept of this show I was already thinking of HYD crossovers where Doumyouji would go to this restaurant to PARTAKE in the food (read: BITCH AND COMPLAIN) until he had to see the chef and a meeting of BEAUTY would come about. There would be narcissism until Tsukushi meets our dear Ban-chan and Doumyouji starts feeling insecure.
It would be crazy awesome people. I want this written immediately.
Is it just me or is the head waiter HITTING ON ANYTHING THAT WALKS? He is completely groping Jun at any opportunity, and winking at him salaciously like he's got a health problem where anytime he's hard he must WINK at things to relieve the pressure.
Mmm. Also I recognise a lot of people in this. It's like they went ahead and hired every minor character from every other drama ever. I see Minako from Sailormoon
Sans tiara, sadly.
The head chef is from... god he looks so familiar, where have I SEEN him?
ETA: OMG HE'S THE FATHER IN MY BOSS MY HERO.
One of the chefs looks like Inui from POT and everytime he's on screen I give a little hee. I nearly died when the little notebooks came out.
And so I shall call him Inui from now on.
I feel so sorry for Jun in this. I do. But I also am strictly on the side of the customers. I hate it when my food is late, especially when I'm paying $30-$40 a plate in such high class establishments (which I rarely go to as I am poor poor poor).
Every second Jun is dallying I kept going HURRY UP JUN-KUN GANBATTE.
That head Waiter is a SLUTTTTTTTTTT.
I like the little interrupting time sequences of 'acceleration' etc. Very arty
The head Chef's daughter is also crazily familiar, where have I seen her?
I seriously hope this drama is going to be as good as Lunch Queen in terms of OH GOD I WANT THIS FOOD. So far, unimpressed.
I like washing dishes actually. It's crazy to see so many, but anyone who can't just wash dishes is... kind of a pussy. HOW DO YOU FALL ASLEEP. THERE ARE KNIVES MAN. I find washing dishes relaxing.
Jun is totally the uke to everything here. I am waiting for him to get raped. The question is, if Head Waiter going to get there first? Or the Sexy Chef Katori with the mean (Zoro-like) attitude, but undutibly a heart of gold?
... or Inui because he is smex.
God Jun you gigantic wuss. A few dishes and he's already beat. It's like he's too good to get his dainty, previously rich-boy perfect manicure dirty. I want to see PRUNE FINGERS.
"You work hard! I find that amazing since you're a woman." Oh Jun. There is no putting your sexism down in any drama.
Katori-sempai is the YANKEE of the chef world. (Insert YOU GOT SERVED joke)
I like how cluttered the Head Chef's office is, look at all those doodads. Now this is the look of some place that's lived in.
"You're good at imitating." Ah, the crux of all shounen drama has the SUPER TALENTED main character whose skill is mostly imitation until he gets his act together.
*watches Jun strip* Aw, only one button? He proceeds to stick his hand in his shirt.
*Alita makes an undignified ngk sound.*
The daughter is SANDWICHED between Inui and the playboy waiter. HAPPY THREESOME.
... THE HEAD WAITER'S EYEBROW IS A THING OF SIN.
The Italian in this is quite amazing. The pronunciation I mean, usually they completely screw up anything which isnt Japanese. But then... Jun hasn't attempted it.
You must make BROTH. Is this Jun's challenge for this episode? Kind of... unentertaining.
... Jun is a complete uke to Katori. Seriously. The chance of him being raped in the stockroom is increasing at a frightening rate.
Awwww, He's so confident. Asking for trouble.
*notes Bathroom as next rape zone*
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILLL.
I have embarrasement squick.
TELL INUI YOUR TROUBLE.
Inui is master and god.
Look, tasting the bad soup a million times is not going to change how shitty the soup is.
Unless they're just torturing Jun. Which they are. I like watching him cry too.
...uh oh. Katori got punched for Jun's mistake. LET THE RESPONSIBILITY WARS BEGIN.
*sad music ensues*
Look at Katori's moue of sadness and irritability. "See me outside."
RAPE?
*Katori punches him*
Violent rape?
*Katori pushes him against the bars*
Mmm.
I love that Katori is a complete yankee, but then yells SMOKING IS BAD.
Aw, I totally thought Katori would take pity on Jun, *more emo music abounds* but then Jun kind of deserves it. I've been on the end of too much bad soup to sympathise.
HEAD WAITER: *proceeds to indirectly protect his potential uke*
KATORI: Mind your own business, I can rape him how I like.
Jun wallows in the rain. There should seriously be less rain in dramas. I know it's a plot device, but HYD had so much weather problems to reflect the turmoil I am OVER IT.
... Jun looks like he's going to drown. At least his uniform's getting a wash?
Everyone is drinking dainty expressos.
Look at that the artistic and superficial wounds. Getting punched... looks a lot worse than a scratch.
OH, THIS is where Arashi's new single was going to debut. Makes sense. I half expected it... but it's kind of inappropriate for the moment.
Look at Jun give Katori his uke eyes.
BAMBI? Whaaat.
I'm enjoying it so far, but mostly, it has the same feeling as Kurosagi. You know, After Nobuta, having the the same characters in different roles seems lack lustre, I reaching out to it with the same emotional expectation, but only getting a weak handshake in return. After HYD, Jun is so very Doumyouji, it's hard to get that out of my mind. How he acts, too, also seems to reflect that he hasn't grown out of the character yet.
I like seeing Jun on his hands and knees too. *Notes kitchen floor as another rape zone*
