I am not making sense... and there may be some spoilers (but just about the general plot)
How much I love this!?!?! You can't imagine.
I consider myself in the minority when I say that I absolutely love Natsuniji. It's one of my favorite Jun's dramas. I know about the bad ratings, I know a lot of people may not like Taija, but for me, Taija was a very special character.
After saying that, Sota... Oh God, Sota may join Taiga in that department (Doumyouji is still my ichiban for a lot of reasons, and I love Momo and Shin... well, I stop here).
I absolutely love Jun when he plays character who are in love! (that's why Kosuke in Hidamari is another one I absolutely adore). I don't know how he does it but he nails the part of heartbroken guy / guy fighting to get the girl he wants.
Not everybody can play that part without looking pathetic at some points and although I would hit Sota on the head a couple of times, I don't see him as a pathetic character, he is just hopelessly in love and in a very manga-like way he tries to get her back.
I really enjoyed the part of them in high school (Jun can't play a high schooler any more, I am sorry to state that) but he was really cute and so so uber silly!!! That was fun to watch!!
But, his face when his heart gets broken, is so amazing!!!! All the feelings a person having his/her heart broken were there... Those glassy eyes at the edge of crying... Oh Jun!!!! You got me almost crying and it's episode 1!!!!
I still have issues with his hair at some points, but overall he looks awesome! and I am really enjoying those dreamdreaming/dreams where he acts really out of his character and how we really would love him to act (at least me XDD) The comments about her skirt being to short and how he attacks her and mention that XDD So not Sota, but so manly (in an almost not right way if you think about it!!! :S)
Now, so far, all the characters, I like. Satomi is delicious and although I hate her guts for hurting Sota, she really does a good job being the pretty girl who knows the boy is in love with her but she prefers to play the fool and cute instead of facing it (maybe because she doesn't want to see what is there inside her heart, or because she is a heartless bit**, I don't know yet -haven't read the manga).
Aiba's girlfriend (I can't remember her name and I am not looking for it now)... I adore her. I would adore her if she was Aiba's real girlfriend, but apart from that, I love her as Sota's secretly in love helper. I love those parts!!! I usually fall for that relationship and here is not exception. I want Sota and her to end together, although I doubt I will get my wish granted.
Olivier! Oh gosh Olivier! I love him!!! I honestly love him so much!!! My favorite moment is when he is craving for the manga so much! His face, oh you hot/cute thing!!!! *squishes his cheeks*
But apart from that I ship Sota/Olivier!!! In some of the looks Olivier sends Sota's way, you can see that he cares for him and my slash-fic-reader-influenced-brain, can't help it: I see love there!!! Lol!!!
I'm fine with him getting Sota's sister, that way he'll remain in the family!!!! XDD
But for now, I will consider Riuta and Kiko as the baddies of this whole thing... Isn't he supposed to be Sota's opponent... but at the same time he is fascinated by him (which I totally understand). What is Kiko's excuse. Does he send her there? What Aiba's girlfriend would feel abt Sota having a bath with Kiko... If we talk about being heartbroken, I don't know who has it worse, Sota or her *hugs her*
Anyway!!! I can't hold my excitement!!!! It's been an interesting morning!!!! Watched Hey!x3 too!
Can't I just say that Sakumoto should just move together with Aiba (although Aiba wouldn't date Sho XD) That was totally awesome hardcore Junba moment or what!!!! But I got to the decision that I would date Aiba too XDD He brings flowers, he is cheerful and draws strange peanuts characters, hits Nino without meaning it and blushes as crazy when Sho told him that he would date him, can he get cuter!!!! Ohhhh Aiba, I can't wait to see something from your movie, you cute/sweet/hot man!!!!
I am sorry for Riida, but Ohno, you have too many hobbies, any girl (except all the blues I know!) would feel neglected.
I absolutely love what all (even J himself) know that the one being 'troublesome' is Jun... Oh! you! perfectionist man!!! <3
The performance... Well, I like the song more than I think I would. I love Aiba's shorter hair, and although I like him with clear hair, he looks hot as hell!!! I also liked his outfit, it was so Aiba like!!!
Sho cut his hair and I am hating him for that atm :S but well, he looked hot!
Nino's jacket, I want it for myself...
And Ohno wouldn't be bad with three kilos more... just saying.
The choreo is cool, except for that moment when the open like a triangle with no base... But the rest, and especially the very end (adhgfaksdglkADGFAKSDF how hot is that pose!!!) was very nice.
*runs to flail about the drama by herself a little bit longer*
