I blame Koala (a 'Good Luck' squee)

[winterspel]

I also blame ginger001, but mostly koalathebear for this post in which she talked about Japanese drama Good Luck. I started watching it Monday after it magically arrived (er, it was brought, special delivery by an All Nippon Airways flight, ahem, REALLY).

Good Luck!: Hotshot moment?

[koalathebear]

I was just thinking about how I like Shinkai because he's quite grounded and not an arrogant hotshot - even though the character could have been cast that way.

The problem is, there is one moment which I happen to love - but which could be considered kind of hotshotty :P

When Shinkai's being wheeled away for his operation, he looks up and sees a kind of miserable and worried looking Ogawa waiting for him in the corridor. He then does a kind of arrogant, blokey finger point at her. Pointing is rude I know and it's kind of conceited of him but part of me thinks that he was doing it to try to reassure her and that it was for her benefit rather than his.









Am I just making excuses for him because I think he's hot? :P

Oh, I never thought that was conceited or arrogant or rude at all!! When I saw that my heart melted because even though he was worried about his leg, the fact that Ogawa came to see him just before he was wheeled away touched him deeply, I think, and I interpreted the pointing as: "Don't give up on me! I'm coming back! Everything will be fine!" and sure enough, she smiles a little afterward, when she couldn't smile at all before.

:D:D:D:D I love that little scene. I've rewatched it several times, because I thought it was a nice gift from him to her in a difficult moment.

I'm going to use the hell out of this Long Vacation icon. ;)
