Actually I have some very ambiguous feelings about this story. Both, I want to see it since it is so much-spoken-about-to-be-great-and-important-and-historical-and-Kimura-and-dogs, but on the other hand I don’t feel like getting involved in something that may bring me down even more than I currently am. I am approaching it as the dog which tries to get acquainted with the hedgehog; curious but scared… I’m having some serious/hard/exhausting time right now, so I probably will have to wait till next Tuesday or so, but after reading what you have written I am definitely going to watch this drama NOW (well, available episodes) . If you say it is worth seeing no-matter-what… I’ll do it and get back with my conclusions. Thank you for giving me courage and motive! <3
I'd rec it, even just the first two episodes at the very least, because I think the first episode sort of sets things up and is a little low so it's 2 and on where things begin really happening. Oh, the whole dogs thing, right? I think it's interesting how the entire focus before it came out was on the dogs, but idk, it's a lot about the men too so you might not be completely bummed out? And just when it gets too down, Kim' pulls out another one of his inspirational speeches/words/etc., so it'll bounce you back again, lol. I hope I didn't ruin any of it though! I don't think I was too spoilery, even though I figured if anybody read this, they'd probably be watching it too.
No prob, though, lol, I didn't expect to sway anyone into seeing it, and idk if my post succeeded or failed in that case. I'd say it's worth a look, at the very least, especially if you're into that sort of thing. :Db
I have not seen (and do not plan to) this drama, but really? Your opinions sound much more generous than the ones I have been hearing from other people.
Oh, really? That makes me so curious. I haven't read that many tbh and the ones I have, they're all in fandom or like Kimura so that probably biases that.
Himuro's gifs LMAO XDDDDDDDDD I also like that non-proposital kind of funny character lol
Well, as I said before, I didn't watch Karei Naru Ichizoku so I can't comment much about it! (But I wikipedia-ed and saw that the narrators are different. KNI's is Baishou Chieko (who also dubbed Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle") and Nankyoku Tairiku's narrator is Naraoka Tomoko)
I don't care who I'll be offending with this, but I don't like Ayase D: I never liked her. I watched some dramas/movies with her but never finished none of them. She's not my type and I don't think she's a good actress at all. But then, personal preferences. And I don't support her crush over Kuramochi. I'm not saying she can't like him; she likes whoever she wants, that's not of my business (LOL) :P Just don't marry him or so. Because that's wrong. As you said, is disrespectful :/ Especially in this case that her sister is dead (if she were still alive I bet the story would become a wild girls' fight and I would lol hard with that XD). It's just... NOOOO (>_Oh, from
( ... )
Best parts about episode 3, HANDS DOWN. <33 And it's trueee, Himuro doesn't mean to be funny and doesn't realize when he is and it's just adorable and unassuming. /obvious bias is obvious
Ooh, really, she's Sophie? THAT'S SO COOL. And lol, thanks for searching for me~Ayase is very neutral ground for me, ahaha, so you're not offending me. But I do sort of get the idk-if-she's-a-good-actor-or-what vibes from her too. I've only watched her in MB and this so far, but I still get the feeling she's emotionless. :/ I usually don't think she's that pretty either but ohman, she looks pretty gorgeous in Cyborg She (in the few screencaps I've seen) and I'm very tempted to watch the film just for that. /confession
( ... )
I still get the feeling she's emotionless. :/ THIIIIIISS How can people like her become actors/actresses?! D: I just... can't orz
BAH I made a spoiler-wanna-be 8D LMAO It wasn't on purpose XD Well, I may say the 5th episode ends just where it has to end - which means, in a very cliché part because this drama is made of predictable cliché, Kimura Takuya and dogs. But what frustrates me the most is the 6th episode's preview. It wasn't a preview at all. It was like the producers didn't finish editing the 6th episode yet, but they needed to transmit something, so they chose random short scenes and put there, you know LMAO
i should be writing a response paper for tomorrow's class, but i don't wanna~ so i thought i'd write one here instead. 8D
Himuro, Hoshino YES, and my third reason is Kuramochi/Himuro because honestly. i actually shipped them in a bromance way at the beginning, but around the 3rd ep i was already so fed up with this drama that i started to ship them in a very sexual way to entertain myself it worked. if they get Himuro killed, i'll be ripping the veins out of my wrists with my teeth. and yes, Sakai Masato always seems like such a nice guy, i was surprised how convincing he is as an asshole. i share your sentiment about Hoshino too and this! And he showed Einstein around Kyoto. That attests to his awesomeness enough. <3 the best ever. <333
( ... )
I love you in ways you don't even wanna' know this post was totally worth it.
You've pretty much summed up so many of feelings in a better and more bitter way that i don't think i would've been able to manage completely on the post because i'm self conscious like that, lol, so i was waiting for your comment instead so i could let loose all the ruder things i wanted to say here XD;;
i started to ship them in a very sexual way to entertain myself it worked. I've been trying not to, without much success tbh but I'm not admitting that lol, just because I really don't want to resort to writing fic about them or smth because it'd just be so easy to and again one of those restraint and should-work-on-unfinished-shit-instead sort of things. But I looooove their budding dynamic and c'mon now show, WE NEED THEM TO MEND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WHICH MEANS HIMURO CAN'T DIE. I will file very official-like complaints if he dies. No, srsly, I'll learn kanji, and then proceed to die once they've all been sent. 8|
only a little moredictionarysaysNovember 19 2011, 00:29:23 UTC
Me not giving any real damns for Kuramochi probably makes me the saddest about this entire thing. He's just too flippin' heroic for me here, which isn't any different troupe from his usual but wow, no. It's too much. I hate that he's always being called when something's gone awry (which is like what, every 15 mins?) and guhhh, too many speeches that are supposed to tug at our heart strings and spur us into believing in smth again and it's like he could be one of the dogs, seriously is a scaryscary realization. D: And I'm quoting you again because what is it with this otherwise could've-been-beautiful drama getting jipped because basically all the flaws of this show are due to bad scriptwriting?
It's just a big ass shame.
IF HIMURO DIES THIS DRAMA DIES AND THAT'S THAT.
Looool, I'm just so happy to have been graced with your existence, what with you bringing out the best in me and all see: all this!. I only made gifs of the people I thought deserved it. P:
this may be less coherent than usual due to severe hangover but let me tryhereticpopNovember 20 2011, 18:49:11 UTC
don't feed the rabid animals with love, it'll only make them bark louder. ♥
on the other hand, thank you thank you for this post, 'cause i'm too scatter-brained to make my own yet but i really needed to throw these feelings up somewhere [and keeping on whining to people who enjoy the drama just doesn't feel right].
OH GOD I feel the very same, right to the should-work-on-unfinished-shit-instead. D: although at the same time it amuses me how i can't figure out what it is exactly that feels kind of wrong about writing this fic-we-won't-be-writing about them. it's not like i wouldn't want to spoil the drama for myself, it's spoiled enough as it is, ha. anyway, i went as far as asking for spoilers for the 5th ep [feeling so dirty right now] and i am almost 100% assured that Himuro won't die, 'cause it'd be too obvious if they kept hinting at it for two eps and he did in the end. plus that would leave Kuramochi broken beyond belief 'cause you just know he'd feel guilty for the rest of his life and then it'd be hard to continue the story

I need to admit, I was waiting for your negative comments on this drama :) You made me realize so much things about Karei naru and other Senpai dramas, as well

guhhh your icon always makes me saddictionarysaysNovember 21 2011, 03:41:13 UTC
LOL. I ended up sounding much less negative than I actually feel, if I'm honest, but I couldn't help it - I have friends on my flist who really like it and who might read this and I didn't want to come off as being Too Bitter. |D
