*Sigh* I know there are bazillion doramas out there that I can watch, but for some reason, I can't seem to start new ones. I did start as in START Kami no Shizuku (peehee mainly because of a certain turtle) but I couldn't even finish that 1st episode. I just want to rewatch the ones I know I like or an adaptation of them (*coughBoysOverFlowerscough*) or something I started before but hadn't managed to continue. So yes, there is still hope for Stand Up! and Ichi Pondo and Ichi Rittoru (or nottt). But anyway, the point of this entry is, I watched the movie version of Honey and Clover. Crying so much. Crying TOO much, actually. :O
Well, first of all, I like Sho in this. He fits the earnestness of Takemoto so much. In shorts♥. It's cute. And l agree with everyone in the world -- Aoi Yuu IS
girl-crushable. I am so envious that she can wear totally crap clothes and still be cute but unable to bear any ill will towards her. This is not fair, world. She hardly speaks in this entire movie, but you can feel her anyway and inwardly demand more screentime lol. And Morita looks like a
washed-out Backstreet Boy. haha
ANYWAY. The movie was majorly sad 80% of the time, ok. Totally reeking of unrequited love. *sighhhhhhh* I was going to write this in pensive, emo mode, but LJ EATS EVERYTHING, THE GREASY BASTARD. So. This is just fangirl, drama-addict mode.
♥ Yamada (girl) following Mayama (guy) following Rika (girl). That. THAT is example#1 of the movie's unrequited love. And you get total visual evidence of it because they're both stalkers lol. And I was weepy, ok, when Yamada finally comes up to Mayama and accompanies him to reapply at Rika's office. Because after she walks away,
this song is playing and my heart is like... fragmented on the floor. D: (BTW, the soundtrack is so nice and spot-on. *sigh again*)
♥ I was bawling, ok, at this scene with Takemoto and Morita. That part where Hagumi is in this total slump after Morita kisses her, something like a psychologic shock, and Takemoto realizes he couldn't do much for her even if he wanted to, even if he loved her. So he goes to Morita and says stuff like, "even I'm not enough, only you can help get her out of this. So please, take care of her." DYING. It was really killer because before that, Takemoto got her brush and fixed it up and that's when he realizes all that effort was essentially inconsequential. That has to hurt. So much. Agh.
♥ Near the end, I couldn't differentiate whether the scene was really moving or I was just BROKEN already because I couldn't stop crying lol. All through that scene where Takemoto was biking. Hahaha. I think I was living vicariously(?lol @ my idea of vicarious these days) through him -- how familiar he was with the little side streets and how totally free he seemed, just pedaling and pedaling away. Maybe I just miss little side streets that one can be familiar with. But anyway, it was touching when he got to the ocean after deciding to run away from the whole Hagumi brouhaha, he thought to himself, "If I run away now, everything will be erased. Even the memory of you." or sth. And... Agh. So even if it was painful to him, he didn't want her erased. MY HEART.
♥ Thank God for moments of levity though. Just that line from the construction guy -- "Hey, your ass is bleeding" -- while Sho was biking up the hill brought me back. Oh, J-dorama, I LUFF YOUU~ however inconclusive you might be.♥
--------------------------
I capped Boys Over Flowers Episode 8 too much. Like 130++ caps. Mainly Hyun Joong. But lots of others too, OK. It's just that I cap him for no reason sometimes. There should be a HyunJoong>HYD>Hyunjoong folder in my Photobucket. Might will flail about that some other time, I got too into Honey and Clover. Haha. But Baby JiHoo is so cuuute~! (And not just because I'm biased, ok.)
OK, no, I WILL flail about BOF ep8 soon. I was looking at my PB folder and it was too alksdjalksjd and hilarious not to capspammm even if I know nobody cares xDDD
