Jotei: we are in your brain, killing off your braincells

Jan 03, 2008 22:44

After filmi_girl came over and we had a blast watching Capital Scandal (yes, I love it enough to rewatch it ASAP and we will continue tomorrow), I decided I was too exhausted to watch Snow White so put in something stupid. This 'stupid' is Jotei, a Japanese drama about a high school student who decides to achieve revenge on the high and mighty by becoming top hooker. And selling her virginity expensively. Yes. I didn't know hard drugs were legal in Japan, but clearly they must be because that is what the writers are on.

You guys, Jotei is SO stupid.

My braincells die just watching it.

I mean, barely three minutes in, and our heroine has already fondled a statue's genitalia and declared something is 'missing' because bits have been chipped off.

And told guy classmate that 'oh, you have it too!' and added to his understandably WTF reaction 'it's because I have no father, so these are new to me.'

She must have very odd understanding of familial relationships.

Did I mention that ep one has two separate rape attempts on heroine by two separate men. One of whom is our gangster hero, who initially plans to sell her into sex trade but changes his mind when she explains she wants to sell her virginity expensively. This creates TRUE LOVE in him.

Did I mention that the leading lady can't act?

This has got to be the most dreadful drama I have ever seen. And I love it. Unlike merely boring twdrama Peach Girl or similar, this is so ridiculous it transgresses 'bad' and becomes so atrocious it forms total entertainment.

I feel like cleaning my head with bleach. And yet I can't stop.

After this, I need to watch something really good in jdrama. Probably Rondo, One Million Stars, Ice World, Love Revolution or Hotaru No Hikari (sp?).

SO STUPID. SO FUN.
