I just finished watching episode 5 (with subs!) of Atashinchi no Danshi. I can't really explain why I love this drama so much, but, man, I really love it. I'm sure some of it is the hot guys.
AnD is unabashedly shoujo. It's a poor female character with a heart of gold who is thrown into a situation where she's around a bunch of rich bishonen. And they're all in love with her.
I love shoujo on a whole, but sometimes I get irritated with it, especially how the girls are portrayed. AnD doesn't irritate me in the least. And even weirder, as much as I am convinced Sho / Chisato is OTP, if it isn't I won't be totally torn up. I love ALL the male characters (well, I'm not a huge fan of Fuu, but only because right now he's just so stereotypical... if I get more backstory I might change my mind). And I like Chisato a lot too! I can't wait until tomorrow when I'll be able to get the raw of episode 6. I'll have to wait a bit for the subs though, because of the upcoming holiday weekend.
Anyway, some caps!
I love how Yutaka wanted to do a homeless person photobook of Chisato, and made her bite cardboard!
Seriously. How can Sho / Chisato NOT be OTP?! After she leaves, he goes up to her room, and sulks around for awhile! He's not admitting it yet, but I CAN TELL! I've watched enough dramas and read enough romance novels to know the signs. Hell, I called the Monica / Chandler hookup on Friends a good two or so seasons before it happened (maybe not so special, but I swear no one else believed me)!
I'm so glad I don't hate Koji anymore! He's SO adorable in this! Every time one of the other brothers makes a move on Chisato (whether innocent or not) he flips out and punches them! It's SO cute!
And God, Masaru is SO AWESOME! I love him a ton. (Random, but there's actually quite a few people from Hana Kimi in this)
Sho is all like "I will help you make Chisato fall in love with you!" to Masaru. It was so cute! Course, I don't believe him...
Little Akira's tie says "sexy dynamite"! (More random! Akira is one of my favorite Japanese names to pronounce, and whenever he's on screen I'm always like "Ahhhhkiraaaaa!")
So cute! They're all totally in love with her (except, you know, for Akira... though he might be, he's 12. I had plenty of crushes when I was that age.)
This is from the previews (thus the big "Daiwa House" across the screen), but I loved it, so I capped it!
My favorite jdramas are the more serious ones, but I always love the crazy ridiculous ones (Hana Kimi, Mei-chan, My Boss My Hero, Anmitsu Hime, etc). They're just SO much fun!
