1. Watched eps 2-4 of Love Shuffle with filmi_girl, and honestly, such a perfect drama. One of the few I rewatch regularly. For some reason, on this rewatch, it's Yuki that's getting to me the most. I just want to adopt and cuddle him (I am shocked that this is the only drama DAIGO has done other than a couple of cameos - he's excellent in the role and I would have never guessed he was a newbie). Also, I don't think I realized this before, but that scene with Kairi on the bridge is the first time we see Ojiro open up to anyone. He's excellent at getting to the core of others' innermost selves but he kept every single private thing about himself closed off and you don't realize until he opens up to Kairi. A suicide-obsessive and an adrenaline junkie who may or may not have a deathwish - kinda perfect. Psychiatrist is freaking me out even more this time, and nobody is going to convince me that a major chunk of his plan wasn't to get a bizarre revenge on his dead boyfriend by using Ojiro as a surrogate for the boyfriend and do the whole 'now you know what it feels like the be abandoned by the one you love to suicide, now you are in my shoes.' I guess it's a small mercy he also saved Kairi's life in the process (OTP! I ship Kairi/Ojiro to an unhealthy degree). Also, Kei. I love him. I love Mei, too, but they are so wrong for each other. He freezes in front of so many expectations and the pedestal.

2. Because I am some sort of a masochist, I feel like rewatching Matsujun's Smile, an amazing, underrated drama that broke me. We'll see. Have a MV:

I think Smile is my favorite Matsujun drama. Yes, even above *gasp* Hanadan.

3. I am pre-obsessed with Kingyo Club which looks like a teen angsty love story per my precise specs. He saves her from bullying! Awwwwww. Have a MV:
