[i]This is wonderful. I am finishing it this weekend, hell or high water.

That's one of the pros jdramas have over others. I whine that they are not as long running - but I can watch one over the weekend. Or if I really push it - in one day! Have fun watching - I'll have to check it out (once I start/finish Pride tomorrow - your rave in a previous post is what convinced me I have to watch it.)

Yay! Pride is my favorite favorite jdrama. Hope you like.

Btw, I know you were asking about Hanadan elsewhere. It really is worth watching and very romantic.

Ahh BL is wonderful ... but yeah, prepare for lots of handkerchiefs for the end. Ah wait till you see some more eps. There are always these little blink-and-you-miss-it moments where Shuuji's face is just adorable and yet convey so much more than words.
Cute bit of trivia: Kimura took driving lessons for his motorbike driver's license for this drama and he is riding his wife's bike in the series. That is why it looks smaller than a usual bike (or for a bloke of his size)

So far there are only two dramas w/Kimura I don't really like and 2 out of 14 dramas plus 3 movies is not bad.

The bike thing totally makes sense. Because I wasn't expecting a Ling kind racing bike but this one is small. Now I have this cracktastic image of Kimura and Missus and their kids (they got two, right?) riding like a mini-gang on four-appropriately-sized bikes on a road. Heh.

little blink-and-you-miss-it moment

I love those.

I just realized I have NO Kimura icons (except for my Pride icon. Must remedy).

You really should remedy this :)
Here are some I made: http://www.different-worlds.net/LJIcons/icons2.htm#kt

As for the Kimura road gang ... I think it could be possible :)

Yes, I remember watching BL years ago, and then watching it again about 2 years later.... I cried buckets both times... It is still one of the most memorable Jdramas I have seen. And yes, Kimura is still HOT after all these years.

Oh yes, very hot. And even early in, this is so good.

That one quick, blink-and-you-miss-it look made me Shuji's fan for life.

Kimura has a way of doing that... you'll be cruising along and suddenly something will happen (a look in his eyes, or a minor gesture) for about a second, and it'll be uber quick but AMAZINGLY character-defining and before you know it you're head over heels in love.

Yeah, he is amazing at those little, subtle, almost unnoticeable moments.

*is also in love*

40%? OMG, that is crazy. Yeah, I like his short hairdo in Pride better but this is still better than his monster locks in LV (I know he was an artist, but come on).

So far this is awesome and KimuTaku is just...guuuuuh. Of course, it can take a nosedive (I mainlined Loveholic at first but am still on ep 9 because of teh angst) but this is much shorter than a kdrama, so hope not.

Weepy? I knew that, I should have known that. *curses*

she's done more than a few dramas with Kimutaku and she writes to the form

Ooooh, oooh, what other ones? I do think it's interesting that she writes only after casting. Because so far it seems to work like a charm (I was so impressed with Kame in Tattakoi).

Re: hairdressers. Heeee. After seeing the fact that every other beuilding in Japan seemed to be a salon, I guess someone has to be :P

Yeah, I mainlined Loveholic and then...booom. It was 'disappearing interest.' I'll finish it because I do like it, but mad pash is gone.
