I need a Mukodono icon!

Episode 2 of Mukodono is even more awesome than ep 1. I don't remember the last time I watched a drama this sweet, funny, and pitch-perfect.

Also, it's great to have a drama hero who is nice. Yu is rather a big kid and a bit of a drama queen, but he is also incredibly giving and unselfish and caring. It's just...AWWWWWWW. And Sakura is just a darling: sweet but not a pushover at all, and very common-sense and steadying.

My favorite moment in the episode (which was full of them) was the make-shift wedding Sakura's family (love them!) threw for Yu and Sakura after the wedding in Hawaii was cancelled because Yu got sick, and the family was at first cranky about Yu in general but then saw how sweet about them he was being. It was so...AWESOME. When his hands shook so much when he was signing the form that he ruined it and they had to use another, I sort of died.

I have no caps because was watching a burned disc, but it bears repeating: Nagase Tomoya FTW. He looks like what fantasy of a pop idol should look like, someone out of a manga, almost: touseled bleached hair, cheekbones, elegant hands, and those pouty lips, and tall build (I mean, you could use him for a live action illustration of the hero of Sensual Phrase). And then as soon as the public is out, he transforms into this totally adorable, lovable, unselfconscious, complete and utter dork in private. Heee.

Word. I wish Asian dramas had more heroes like him; sadly most TV writers would rather create heroines in that mold. Heroes must have chips on their shoulders or attitudes to go with talent/drive. = =

Nagase was so striking a few years ago. Had I turned my eyes back to Asian entertainment sooner...

Yeah, usually I might be amused by a drama hero but would stay miles away from someone like that in RL. When the hero is nice I can actually see why a heroine would want to be around the guy!

Heeee... NT. I have seen him in My Boss My Hero and Ikebukuro West Gate Park and yeah, he is totally hot and manly :D I rec both dramas, btw.

Mmmm, he is manly. I am not used to it with jdrama stars, but it's a very pleasant thing to discover!

The guy is pretty:



How good is the drama?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It's going into my all-time jdrama faves (I am three eps in).

Icon!!!!!

Thank you!

The drama is very funny (I literally LOLed) but also sweet and touching and just...*gushes*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am glad you like!

I am already half-persuaded to watch by the guy's looks. :D I don't need much!

He is very very hot. And tall (over 6'). And doesn't look like a girl. And his character wears glasses when in private and is very very adorable.
