Proposal Daisakusen Finale

Jun 29, 2007 03:43

So, the end is here at last. I already basicly know what is going to happen in this episode, since I spent Monday afternoon hectically refreshing my browser screen at the d-addicts discussion board, reading all the live comments while this episode was airing. Still, it's not quite the same thing to read short comments by someone else as it is to ( Read more... )

EEE! I was definitely waiting for this post. I've made loads of caps too but I stopped about half way. It was mostly of Ken-zou in his tux anyways. :P I agree I think we got rid of lots of our anger when we read the live commentary. I honestly still don't know if i'm happy with the ending or not. I'm glad it is a happy one however. I think it's still a special drama still. :)

Heh, when I saw how many caps I had taken, I was a bit shocked :P. Aww, but Ken-zou in his tux looks great! :)

I had had time to work through my anger at the ending, and it did feel better when I actually saw it than when I read about it. And as I said in my post, I thought that Ken-zou's smile in the end was enough resolution for me.

Yes, it has a lot of special moments, and it will always be remembered for the way it made us obsess about it :).

Of course Ken-zou in tux is wonderful. I was just shocked how that was only what i took. :P I just stopped since it's bit distracting while watching to cap.

Ken-zou's smile was sweet and we know they are happily together. :P

Yes, that was great time obsessing over it. It has plenty of touching and heartbreaking moments to make me happy. It will remain my favorite of Yamapi's dramas for now (until he comes out with more of course. hopefully soon!). :)

And don't forget the humorous moments as well. And, of course, the sweet secondary otp of Eri and Tsuru :).

I think Kurosagi will still retain it's place as my favourite Yamapi drama, but ProDai did move to the second place and moved Byakkotai into the third place. BTW, if you haven't seen Byakkotai yet, you should! Lots of yummy Yamapi in it :)...

Thank you!

Yes, I would have preferred some more resolution to the story as well, but as I said to allbloomedout, I had had time to get used to the ending by the time I actually saw the episode. Ken did go through an awful lot throughout the series, so it ended with just that slight smile when he saw Rei running after him, it did feel (quite) a bit unsatisfactory.

I probably won't ever be watching this so I felt free to spoil myself. Seeing people outraged over the ending made me a bit sad as the rest of the drama seemed to be so well-liked. But reading this summary (without knowing much anything about what happened previously), it seems like the drama ended well after all - and not that frustratingly. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to have like, ONE frame of the couple actually together but maybe Yamapi!smile is subtle enough. :D

vierran45 June 29 2007, 12:39:56 UTC

Yes, the ending has had quite a mixed reception. When I first read how it ended, I was really mad about the lack of clear resolution, but when I finally saw the episode myself, it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.

Of course, it would have been nice to see Ken and Rei together even for a brief moment, but it is quite obvious that they are going to be together in the end. And there is always room for a special if they leave the ending slightly open :)...

Ok...you know (and I know) I am going to rant so I will keep this short (aka half a page:P:P ( ... )

vierran45 June 29 2007, 12:48:01 UTC

LOL, it was fun to participate in the refresh-fest at d-addicts. I was also IMing live reactions about the comments with allbloomedout while we were virtually following the episode :). At least we could process our initial shock, disgust and anger over the ending together. But just like you, once I was prepared for how it ended, I actually ended up liking it while I watched it ( ... )

carviangli July 2 2007, 01:27:31 UTC

Yes, I can't wait until I can actually watch this with subs...will make everything much more clear:P

I agree about the satisfation of the ending.

Just based on Ken's nature and the oftentimes quiet and calm way the story unfolded, anything huge would have been too much (and a bit gawdy and offensive) at the end. Though Ken's smile was a huge thing in itself, I think, considering his unrelenting misery throughout.

vierran45 July 6 2007, 10:44:54 UTC

You are quite correct that there were so few moments where Ken looked happy or smiling during the series (first ones that come to mind were his reaction after the kiss and the water balloon fight) that his smile at the end did reveal quite a lot and did bring it to a satistying ending - at least for me. The more I think about the ending, the happier I actually am about it.
