(5) BWS: Kora Kengo

[stringless_kite]

I've been doing my resume for the past couple of hours, staring at the computer unblinkingly at the computer. Done most of it now, so I thought I'd have a break procrastinate and write this entry. However, this isn't really a break considering I'm typing my fingers off.

Who cares! After all, it's the 5th BWS. It's Kora Kengo!

I like Kengo Kora but so far I haven't watched anything of him that I actually liked! (Fish Story just went into my to-watch list)

I hated Snakes and Earrings and I also hated Bandage but it really wasn't his fault (especially in Bandage he was the only reason I finished it).
Generally I truly believe in his talent and I want to watch a lot of his movies but I am waiting for them to be subbed...

Oh I also watched Norwegian wood that I didn't like so much and I still don't know exactly why...

[stringless_kite]

I just wish he had more bigger roles/exposure because he is pretty talented. Fish Story is a must watch, despite him hardly being in it. Haha. xD

Snakes & Earrings, he was cute - but I guess the story didn't do it for me. Bandage - yeah, I understand where you're coming from. I just didn't really like Bandage at all &, like you, he was the only reason I continued watching it -_-"

I didn't like Norwegian Wood. When he died, I watched about 20 mins more and couldn't watch it anymore. The plot didn't do it for me either - or perhaps it was the film interpretation, who knows? Considering I haven't read the book

[hananaki]

I have read the book years ago and I liked it at that time.Watching the movie made me question even this.

I mean things that existed in both the film and the book seemed meaningless in the film.You didn't miss anything that you didn't finish it I assure you!

OMGGG I've been waiting for you to write about hiiiim!!! Hi there hubby! <3 <3 <3

And he's really a very good actor. He's just amazing. :D

I hope I can watch the 'making of' of Fish Story! I might need to look for the DVD online, too. LOL.

[stringless_kite]

HAHAHA! I had to mention him eventually. LOL :P He's truly amazing. Beyond it.

YES! DO WATCH FISH STORY! I think finding the dvd is the best option because it's worth the buy and is difficult to track online. Haha. xD

For years(LOL seems like it's so long) I thought Kora Kengo is Takashi Tsukamoto.
I love both actors. and i love Kengo in Bandage and i agree i like him better in bands drama.

[stringless_kite]

HAHA! They do look similar, and they ARE filmed in a lot of movies as side-plot characters. Heck, I thought all asians looked the same at first. -_-" They're both wonderful. :)

Btw I haven't show this to you yet it's on friend's only

<3

i just love how you describe him i have watch almost of his movies..my favorite is snakes and earrings which i found he is cute and bubbly..while in onichan no hanabi he become antisocial guy..i think that he is one of versatile actors which i find believable in any character he act..now i just finish watching marks no yama and totally fall in love with him again where in the final episode make me cry a bucket for him...sidenote do you realize how many times he died in movie or drama(norweign wood,byakugako,solanin,snakes and earrings,etc)haha

Re: love love

Not really describing, more like spazzing ;) Haha. <3 He's fantastic, really. I wasn't really fond of Snakes & Earrings itself, but I thought he portrayed his character great and he was really cute. Haha.

I love onichan no hanabi. <3 It was really touching and refreshing to watch. Where did you find Marks no Yama? I really want to watch it now. ^^ Looks pretty interesting.

Yeah! When I screen capped the movies for this post, I realised how many characters he has played that have died. HAHA. Maybe he's just good at portraying them well, therefore making his characters memorable, right? :)

haha..spazzing!that is the correct words!..i just finished watching marks no yama in 1 run at 3a.m and the next morning there were an air bag under my eyes..this drama is awesome!hope you can recap or give your view..here's the link http://doramax264.com/j-drama/marks-no-yama-j-drama/...its only 5 episode and the size for a single file is small in this site...

maybe i watch to much movie from him make me realize that he will always died or kill someone..but he is definitely someone who will steal the show even he is not the lead (ex. bandage..many have said they watch bandage for jin but it turnout they fell in love with kora)..now i cannot wait for him and yuriko to star in movie again this year..oh i forgot..do you watch ohisama?nhk drama..he starring as a husband for the lead actress..cute!!!

Hey! I watched the first ep, but maybe it was a bit too hardcore for me..or I'm just a bit tired from mystery dramas. But when I get back into the phase, i'll definitely check it out. Kora Kengo is great.

He does manage to steal the spotlight because he's really talented. Um, I've only watched the first or second ep of Ohisama, so he hasn't appeared yet. When does he appear? :) Is it later on? :D

hot Kora

I started with Tsumi to Batsu.
And I realize he acted in many psychopath roles :P
Haven't seen those movies above that you recommended, but will,soon.
Thank you for your review.
It convinced me more to try those movies :P
