Sill obsessing over Mukodono

[dangermousie]

(I want to squish them so hard!!!!!)

I have a confession of deep dark shame: I watched a TOKIO song on youtube and enjoyed it. They are still shinier than I prefer my musicians to be, but they actually play instruments *gasp* and can sing in tune! And they look like they hit puberty some time ago and actually had a meal or two since. Plus, I liked the song. I don’t think I will be seeking out more, am not really big into musical stuff, but…the deep dark shame will haunt me. Shame. Shaaaaaaame.

Or something.

Anyway, it’s always fun to discover a new actor ‘crush’. I will definitely be checking out Utahime (I’ve seen flisters love it but somehow missed that it’s set in 1950s! Yay!). I will also check out My Boss My Hero (summary sounds cracktastic) and Ikeburo West Gate Park (it has Yamapi in it too. Though he is what, 12 in it?)

But meanwhile, I am totally in love with Mukodono. I totally want to adopt Sakuraba Yuichiro: he is so adorably dorky and clueless. Heeee. The scene where he came in to ask for Sakura’s father’s permission to marry her made me LOL so hard I had trouble breathing.

I love Sakura too, who is sweet and down-to-earth and also dorky, and I loooove Sakura’s cooky family: her retired father and three older sisters, one of whom is a cooky mother of surly teen and is separated from her husband, one of whom is a geneticist with an allergy to men who had a son via artificial insemination, and one who is a workaholic employed by a radio station. I want to be in that family!



The whole thing does not start propitiously. While Sakura’s Dad is grumping about the unknown fiance coming over without much warning, one of the sisters announces she saw Sakuraba Yuichiro outside and thinks she is hallucinating. And then…the door opens and it’s Yu, who is promptly, and accidentally clubbed on the head by the oldest.



The sisters are boggled…



Sooo dorky!







In front of the father and the whole assembled family:



I love the Dad!



I loled so hard during the introductions (and seriously, he is a human puppy!)









Child of middle sis:



Surly teenager son of oldest sis:





Proposal mangling!







Dad is all ‘who are you and what do you do?’ because he is totally pop-culture illiterate and despises TV/magazines/etc. So one of the sisters, after boggling, gets out this mag:



Dad’s reaction!



I laughed so hard I nearly died.





And somehow from there the proposal conversation gets totally derailed with family discussions about family stuff. It’s LOLtastic, and Yu is clearly entranced because this is the first time he’s been around a family since he was very little.







Dad is not impressed by Yu’s profession.



And tells Sakura he won’t let her be married to Yu because his profession is unstable and might not pay enough! LOL.





To prove his point, he asks Yu how much he makes a year, and once Yu answers, there is a stunned silence. Yu, of course, misinterprets it and is all ‘too little?’ LOL.



Dad forbids it anyway, because Sakura should have a normal marriage, not a circus this would be. At least Yu’s manager is delighted, disaster averted!





And then I had to run!


In news of dramas that are not good, but entertaining nontheless, has anybody watched Delicious Gakuin? I checked out about ten minutes of first ep before being sidetracked by the shiny of Mukodono.



Since nothing I could write would be crackier than the plot, I bring you the wiki summary: After being kidnapped and being taken to a cooking school told they must enroll, a group of boys deal with learning tons of recipes while also focusing on thoughts of love,* friends, and intentions.

Yes. Kidnapped. To be made into Chefs by force. Whaaaaa? Jdramas, never change.

* Seeing it’s an all-boys school, I can tell what kind of lurve it’s going to be ;)

Between the incredibly over-the-top acting, the skinny, girly-looking boys with mile high hair, and the psychotic plot, I can tell I will be very entertained.

My Boss My hero is really funny, especially with the crazy facial expressions. Sorafune is a good song by TOKIO, and not only because he's singing in the rain in a white shirt >_>

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Thanks! :)

Yeah, for the record, my younger brother and sister adored the crackiness of this show. Then again, I think it was because we watched it together and they were making up nicknames for characters whose names were too hard to remember...

LOL

My Boss My Hero is one of my absolute favorite doramas (in the comedic/non-dramatic category). It's so crack-tastic, HILARIOUS and SO well-written, I can't say enough good things about it. And because I know you love it, there are small dashes of angst sprinkled throughout and the final episode is spectacularly awesome.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I totally want to check this out.

If that guy is the same guy as the one from My Boss My Hero, then he makes the funniest faces!

I only saw a few episodes of My Boss My Hero, mainly because it was finals time and then I lost some interest but what I did see was funny and cute and . . . well, I wonder who he ended up with at the end. I'd probably watch it again just to find out who he ended up with. But he does make the most extreme funny faces.

Yes, he is.
