REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED INCESTUOUS.

This. . . this seems like one of the dramas that would leave me enraged with the world at large. Tempting as Matsuda Shota is, and it does seem kind of fabulous. It just has that feeling, that I suspect it would be likely to compell my (probably apparently random) feminist rage.

[darkeyedwolf]

Eh, I couldn't get worked up about it, since it was incredibly over-the-top soap opera with a tenuous grip on reality. XD I get much more irritated at dramas that are supposed to be modern and progressive but fail at their treatment of women (Pride, I'm looking at you).

[guingel]

That's a good point. If I'm supposed to view someone as a legitimate hero and role model or whatever when they're being huge asswipes, it bothers me a lot more. Just. . . naked power montage?

It seems like a good indulge yourself drama though. If I can get access to it easily i'm tempted to turn my brain off and watch it, or at least give it a try. When I finish watching MBMH again.

Jotei's biggest problem is that everything was about sex. Everything. All the time. So that was the only way to earn respect and recognition (how popular you were as a hostess, how much you put out), and even the powerful female characters were defined by it. You couldn't win.

*lol* I love your description!
I watched it too. Until the End. Am I good or what!!!
I kinda enjoyed it. *snickers*

[darkeyedwolf]

I LOVED IT. It was so, so bad. XD

[meloenchen]

It was terrible!! *g*
But Matsuda Shota was yummy.
Spoiler: Did you hate the End? I hated it!

[darkeyedwolf]

Spoilers:

SO RIDICULOUS. But then, the entire drama was. XD I will say I kinda teared up though.

wow this seems even MORE incredibly trashy than when you first talked about it on your other lj. I still dont know why i havent seen this yet, seems right up my alley. needs more death and suffering probably. oh and weird shit. love the weird shit. that's why japan is so great. FULL of weird shit.

[darkeyedwolf]

s;sdfkjfsd it's so hard not to spoil you. If you can look past the terrible, terrible trashiness, I think you'd enjoy how awfully addictive it is. XD

[sisterjune]

Well I might watch it some day XD. Still have my hands full with rnk and writing, been doing alot of writing lately. and no not porn XD oh and I did see ep 1 of bloody monday recently. have you seen that yet? feel free to carry over this answer to your other journal. XD

[darkeyedwolf]

YES I HAVE. I SURRENDER TO THE MIURA HARUMA CRAZE. All it took was a creepy teacher trying to get in his pants, who'd have thought?
