A nun and a rocker are my new obsession

[dangermousie]

You can usually tell how obsessed I am about a drama by the amount of caps I take per episode.

Your recaps are making want to check the Japanese version out! From what I've read of YAB, it doesn't sound like anything up my alley but I think I would like IDN. :)

[dangermousie]

I much prefer the jdrama version - much more lowkey, with much more contentrated romance and a sexy vibe.

I kind of want to watch really bad but I've had a recent falling out with Jdramas and I don't think I could stand to watch the prickly OCD main guy if he's not Jang Geun Seuk. ;______;
Maybe if I watch them both at the same time, who needs sleep?

LLOLLLLLL

Tbh, even though I adore it, if you had a falling out with jdramas, I'd say avoid because it is very much a jdrama (unlike e.g. Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake which was a kdrama masquerading as a jdrams)

I totally understand btw because I had a falling out with jdramas myself - I haven't watched on in a couple of years until IDN, ironically, and Ouran brought me back.

I was a bit apprehensive going into this drama, but ended up totally addicted to it. Who would have guessed. I still feel weird hearing the songs since I'm more familiar with the original Korean versions. And yes, you don't want to know how young Tamamori (Ren) is. He's legal in Japan so that should be enough :D. All three A.N.JELL guys are Johnnys, BTW.

I really like they way they've condensed the story in the Japanese version. The first episode was ridiculously long, but covered so much territory.

I really really hope they do some kind of an equivalent to the infamous pig chase scene in this.

He's legal in Japan so that should be enough :D.

Oh God, is he 17 or something? *dies*

ETA: looked it up, he's 21. Phew. Now I feel much less like a sick woman.

Yeah, I knew they were JE though since I never keep track with j-ent, I have never heard of them before.

Re: pig chase. I don't think there's much chance - they seem to have taken out all the OTT wacky stuff (which I am happy about actually - not big on OTT wackiness most times).

[boycottbananas]

I'm glad you're liking this too, because I also like this a lot, right after Ouran. They balance each other out for me - one is shorter but simpler and sweeter with a huge amount of crack, while the other has more plot to it and a lot of heart.

I hope you continue to like it, as I will! :'D

[dangermousie]

Your description of the two of them is perfect. That is exactly it. I haven't watched even one airing jdrama in ages and now I am obsessed with two :)

[jennyhime]

hahaha, I'm enjoying this a lot myself. Sometimes shoret dramas like jdorams are better at getting straight to the point instead of taking forever to even get the leads to kiss.
Tamamori Yuta (Ren) is luckily legal ^^ and Johnny likes 'em young. Mio is awesome, she is a far more likable character then Mi Nam/Mi Nyeo and Miori is really a good actress. I'm still suprised this her fourth acting job so I hope this will give her more opportunities.
I actually prefer Uee to Haruna who in real life is a idol (a member of the horrible akb48)

[dangermousie]

Exactly. The pace on this is so much better and all the filler/fluff is gone. I like fast-paced so am vvvvv happy.

I love Mio! She's amazing. I don't blame Ren or Shu falling for her.

akb48? Eeeeek. Heard about them.
