well you can use it against me but it's just because it's you, jsyk. :p
can't agree more! then one day they actually tell you that you're not studying there anymore and it's kind of sad and no way I'd be speaking from experience, right? which is why I'm telling myself every year that this time I'll actually do things properly and won't skip classes etcetc. and I truly believe it, too. it's just that it somehow doesn't want to work? I get ridiculously attached to characters too and I think this could be what I'm watching dramas for the most, to have my heart wrenched out and stepped over a countless times by all the things that happen to them. the plot is secondary in that I can like a drama with a ridiculous plot, but I can't if I don't feel anything for the characters. and lol, I think I do that too, crying my eyes out even if the drama isn't particularly good, but the playing-with-viewer's-emotions parts are executed really well.
I find that jdramas are more unpredictable than western stuff, but they still have some patterns that make some things easy to predict, and one of those is that a character has to make up for what they did one way or another - particularly when it's a basically good character or one that isn't supposed to be completely one-dimensionally bad, which is Sora Kara's case. Yuko dying left me speechless [well, crying-speechless] because if I remember correctly, there was something earlier in the drama when she said that she is like a cockroach that will survive anything, and it stuck in my head and I was betting on Sanma to die rather than her. and I had this image of her character as being really strong, so her motivation is kind of questionable too. I thought it was mostly that she couldn't stand it that she made such an awful mistake and killed her brother/lover [while he really loved her] but most probably it was just the perfect tragic ending? ohgod, I can't believe I feel like crying now, this is what Sora does to me. and uh, that friend, I wasn't crying for her tbh and the fact that she had Gackt's smile didn't help her at all. and damn, Sanma! the first time I was watching it, I had no idea who he was so I lacked the additional perspective, but the second time I was scared that after all the silly stuff I've seen these two men do, I wouldn't be able to completely immerse myself in the drama world - but there was nothing like that, no problem at all! although I had a few giggles of a shipper at some scenes with just the two of them, ehm.
I believe in Japan and that they do kiss like anyone else and have normal relationships that don't seem like a first teenage love when they're actually in their twenties or thirties - so I wish they didn't enforce that ~pure~ image in the dramas all the time. Shiawase ni narou yo had me in spasms over how possibly it is a romatic story when they don't as much as suck on each other's mouths! screw hand-holding! >.<''
Karei-naru is definitely this type. I do that a lot too, whether it's because my fav characters are getting in trouble or there are charcters I don't like and I'm telling them to go and die. but the absolutely ridiculous plot twists give me probably the most agitated reactions. I've asked my computer screen "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" so many times, I think I should get an answer at least once by now. :|
[yup, LV is the one where he plays the piano, is ridiculously young and pretty and his character is actually shy and not awesome at all, which is an interesting thing to watch, and there's Yamaguchi Tomoko, who is totally cool, and there's a lot of relationship stuff, but it's not tiring at all, which proves the script is A+ and it just gives you a really positive feeling. I needed smth a little more uplifting after this hot mess so I'm watching a drama about a man who's contemplating suicide instead :DDD I can't. and I don't know, Jun is cute in Kimi wa Petto although not really pretty imho, at first I was like: what happened to his face? ah, it's probably the poodle hair that's eating his head. but he acts cute, which weirded me out at first a lot, lol.]
good, that's a plan! :D
OMG how I hated that bgm! no show should ever use it for anything! O.O
