dvampyrlestatGood heavens!!! What's with August?! And this many people on my flist being August babies?
Lolz. No, that wasn't a complaint.
Drama talk.
I'm simply sniffing away.
The devil cries, too!
On another note.
Got my truth/Kaze no Mukou e LE today! Yay!
Damn. It's so hot my fingers were scalded when I took it out of its box.
Serious.

Come on. Admit it.
Pi was never really known for his acting skills. IMO, he just got lucky that the roles given to him were seemingly written with him in mind. And he has these tics, these mannerisms, that bother me when he acts.
Code Blue 1 to 6.
I've seen better medical dramas than this. Iryu, anyone?
One of my deals about this was...the four leads looked too awfully young to be doctors. They look more like med students. Freshman or sophomore.
I do like the medical cases tackled, though, because they get to delve into the inner psyche of the patients rather than simply writing them off as people in dire need.
And I like that the medical profession is not glorified in this one. Glorified as in 'made out to be a real noble profession'. Some doctors have grown to accustomed to death to even care about it anymore. Others simply care about having the opportunity to cut someone open. Aizawa wants to be the best. Period.
These are not self-righteous individuals who do this solely so they can save lives.
I want more from Aragaki Yui. Toda Erika is pretty good. I'd say she's the stronger actor. She irritates me, but when she loses her footing, I feel like I am there with her. And when she's mad, and angry, or frustrated, I believe her.
NOW.
I did say Pi made me cry, right? Ep 6 has got to be my favorite episode so far. (if they can beat it on the next eps, kudos to them). I can only imagine how painful it would be to have the only person you consider as your family wake up and ask you, "WHO ARE YOU?"

I'm quite late on this one. *blames a lot of things* Only finished until ep8 right now, and ental has released the subs for the whole series, too. *sigh*
More than 5 episodes in, and THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET MOVING.
I don't know her name, but I think I've seen her in 1 Million Roses...Not that I've watched that drama, I just said I saw her there.
My complaint? How much longer will he have to really suffer and be crushed before he'd pick up his guns (figuratively, no guns in that period yet) and fight back? I mean....it took this long!
Geom arrives at his now-realized sister's public hanging. He had a plan. When the noose tightens around her neck, the rope will break (he rigged it). With his eyes, he begs her to have faith as he, her younger brother, will save her.
She sees her brother, but she won't give him away. She was just happy to have found him.
And the other (unknowing) brother looks on.
But the rigged rope didn't perform as planned. And...you know what happens next.
You know what breaks my heart, though? The fact that he can't properly mourn for his long-gone father, and his now-dead sister. It's like, just cry, then wipe the tears and act uncaring and nonchalant in front of everyone else. Yes, even before the two people who raised you as their son.
And ironic how the lives of these two men will now take a permanent turn, both caused by the death of one woman. And one of them has no idea she was his sister.
I am so looking forward to finishing this. Little, by little.

You can cut the hospital scene - from the moment Naoto enters, until Ryou tells him off to stay away from his sister - and you have enough material (depth and weight) for an entire episode.
I kept thinking....Naoto should be a bit intuitive. I mean, to elicit THIS kind of reaction for simply showing up? There must be something there, right?
But then again, he is known to lose focus.
Shock, hopelessness, fear...guilt. Too many emotions, piled into one look. Yuuka was a revelation in this scene.
Where else has she acted before?
I love this shot of Naoto. He just left the lions' company, so to speak. He should be enlightened, and the light is on him, it's begging him to "LOOK! It's right beside you! The truth screams right close to you! LOOK!"
Me shipping Yuuka and Ohno back then almost qualifies as incest. Lolz.
I gotta admit, though, that the Ohno-Yuuka shipping was just fleeting. Cuz of Ryoko.
The tears are for...guilt over having lied to her. Self-hatred for using her? Probably. I doubt he really intended to use her in his Grand Plan. If he did, he would have done so long before, and would have broadcasted how he has to care for a blind and terminally ill sister. That would've added more points to his image as the Angelic Lawyer.
I think he really meant to take care of her until the end, keeping the pretense that he was her dear younger brother. And this is what Makiko recognized, IMO.
I don't think she's twisted for still having faith in him, or for tagging along in the long pretense. For someone in her state, hope rarely comes by, and she was given hope, so she latched on to it, blindly. Literally and figuratively.
This is the first time Naoto witnessed Naruse-sensei lose his cool.
For someone as famous (and moneyed) ad Naruse-sensei, his secretaries have no flair for celebrations. Or maybe they just knew Naruse wasn't the party type. LOLZ.
You can see the surprise, then the pleasant surpise on his face when he saw Shiori. Ah. He's such a little boy.
"Can't I be your angel?"
You know...in some cases, I'd say that line is totally cheesy. But I gotta say, Ryoko WORKED IT.
A hug! Ahug!!!!
And I squealed.
Now all we need is for a kiss scene. Then Ohno and Sho can go right ahead on a lengthy discussion on kissing scenes. Sho will win the discussion, not becuase he makes good points (because he won't) but simply because he can outtalk Ohno any time.
OMG. This post totally is about....tears???

Date: 2008-08-23 11:52 pm (UTC)I call this ep the Ohno showcase. :) All sorts of possible emotions one can show was on this ep. And he did beautifully. I'm so proud of him. Aren't we proud of him???? If I were a filmmaker, or a writer, or a casting director, this ep alone would be enough to convince me to cast this gem of an actor in yet another project!!
It might also just be that Koreans have different approaches towards romantic relationships. Shiori's cute though. Schoolgirl crush meeting a woman's love. :P
Episode 8!!! Another GREAT (and painful) ONE! Good luck working on it. :) I spazzed almost the whole time on Ep7. Tee-hee!!!!
