Gay 70s activists and Korean Hana Yori Dango. Nothing in common except bad fashion!

Saw Milk yesterday (the movie, not the white liquid people drink). It was an entertaining enough way to spend 2 hours and $10 but good acting notwithstanding, I fail to see the fuss over it - except for the fact that it was about a gay person, it was a stultifyingly conventional biopic, sort of a 'watch and forget' kind of a movie. But then, the

it just doesn't look right! :\

[dangermousie]

Really? Looks cool to me :)

I'm used to Makino with longer hair. D: I mean Inoue Mao had shoulderish length hair, and Barbie Xu had really long hair. Seeing a short-ish bob is kinda weird. ._.

Plus I kinda want Oguri Shun and MatsuJun and Inoue Mao and Matsuda Shota and Abe Tsuyoshi and Nishihara Aki back. XD;;

And I had something else to say but it kinda flew out of my mind, wut. ._.

Well, in the manga, Makino cuts her hair off fairly early on and has short hair so that doesn't bug me (plus I bet they did it to make GHS look more tomboyish and younger).

I loved Japanese Hanadan but except for Inoue Mao and possibly Matsuda Shota, I thought they were all physically wrong for the part (i.e. didn't look the way I imagined). Now, I loved them anyway, but I am excited these look more like my mental images...

D: I had a reply but LJ went crazy on me and so it didn't go through. x_x

Basically, GHS does look younger, so I guess that's good, then I talked about how I just hope that they don't make Domyouji's mom all, "I'MMA KILL YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" because while I realize that most evil Korean parents are like that, Domyouji's mom was pale in comparison. ._.

Rui and Makino, both contemplating the fact that there is nobody prettier than he is.

there really isnt. it should probably be disturbing.

also, do we know how closely this is going to follow the manga? I havent seen Meteor Garden, which I need to do, but Ive glanced at the manga.

[dangermousie]

No idea how close. Hopefully closely!

[xiaobellsa]

I'm sooooooooo excited about this!! (yes I have no life). For me I think they got the physical casting spot on this time, that's what really bugged me about the J-drama.
Also I think Lee Min Ho looks lots like Jerry Yan, esp from the side ;-)

[salimbol]

Oh, I'm with you, xiao mei-mei! (But then you knew that, because I've been squeeing in your direction...) Thank God they've got a tall guy for the Tsukasa character this time, that's all I can say. The physical impression Lee Min Ho gives means the battle is already half-won in terms of conveying the character well :-).

[dangermousie]

I am glad he does look the part. Took me forever to get used to MatsuJun.

[salimbol]

Heh - I still can't reconcile myself to Matsujun as Tsukasa, even after all this time; in fact I probably find him even less Tsukasa-like now than I did in the beginning. But I think I'm probably in the minority with that opinion!
Have you seen the behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot? I found it fascinating to see everyone in action, and hear their voices.

[dangermousie]

Yup, me too!
