Oh, Taiyou No Kisetsu.
Shinji, shut the hell up. Seriously. I used to like you, but wtf. Talk about inapproproate boundaries. When he tries to interfere between Tatsuya and Eiko and later asks Tatsuya who is more important to him, he Shinji or Eiko like the answer 'Shinji' should be obvious? WTF. He is not your boyfriend. The guy clearly has a god complex.
But I love it how Tatsuya just freaks when he thinks Shinji's words might make her leave and runs looking for her and finds her and tells her she is not a burden and then he actually comes clean to the rich kids and Shinji about Eiko and his friend and everything. Love. Though Shnji will probably murder him now.
And OMG, the scene with him and his friend racing and Eiko 'refereeng' and then OMG OMG the scene with the piano where she teaches him to play and it's such a delight. I love.
I also watched the ending of the drama, not just that one little bit.
Even though I haven't yet watched the intervening 4+ hours, if they wanted to make me cry, they succeeded. But the whole kissing of the dying girl, and running the race anyway because she made him, and screaming her name and collapsing and then at the end some timelater he is walking and he is thinking she isn't dead because he remembers her so 'I have no choice but to live' and waaaaaaaah.
WAAAAH.
I know Takki angsts beautifully but I want a fluffy drama with him now.
