Ryuusei na Kizuna's Nino (流星な絆の二宮) - Ep 01 & 02
I watched the first two episodes of Ryuusei na Kizuna tonight. I'd been meaning to watch it for a while now, just never got around to it with the many other Arashi entertainment available.
I knew the premise of the show and so was a little creeped out initially when the scene of the parents' murder approached. Luckily they didn't film it explicitly, but I would say that the resulting bodies and room looked very realistic.
Expecting this drama to be more serious or darkly portrayed, I was surprised by the amount of times I laughed or smirked at Nino's character - both independently and interacting with his siblings and cafe customers. The many sides of Nino...
1. Not-impressed! Nino:
2. Confused by the Post-it Guy:
This scene made me laugh out loud! Haha, they did a great job bandying back and forth. 二宮はすごくかわいい。
3. Shocked!Nino
Another hilarious scene! Nino's reactions to his sister's situation were great. I laughed when his brother said:
He did this choking thing next because he couldn't bring himself to say "condom" and instead said "birth control devices." Haha, so cute.
4. Just-out-of-bed / Why-is-this-guy-here-now? Nino
This scene was funny - the customer consistently asks for Hayashi rice and Nino's response is always:
So he came early to be the first customer.... still no Hayashi rice, though. The customer is played by Kaname Jun.
5. Scheming! Nino - He looks like he is having so much fun being devious.
6. Stalker! Nino
Still makes me laugh and go "aww, so cute" even though he also looks a bit creepy. ~_~
7. And finally... Sad-that-his-sibilings-didn't-like-his-group-name! Nino
I think he threw his tantrum really well - very realistic how someone would react. Do you see how the "We Are" is in cursive letters in the "hair"? I didn't see it at first, but it looks awesome the more I see it now.
I was surprised at myself for liking the actor who plays Nino's younger brother: Nishikido Ryo. I am not a fan particularly, but his acting of a slightly baka younger sibling was really incorporated. He has this kind of clogged sound in his voice/words that makes him sound just a bit more stupid and cute, because of it. A couple of my favorite scenes were:
All in all, this was a really great set of episodes. I look forward to the rest of the series.
