I was looking for other Nagase Tomoya dramas to ogle watch, and came across this one:

Suna no ue no Koibitotachi.

The plot: Here's the question: If you are responsible for the (though accidental) death of a girl, then end up falling mutually head over heals with her boyfriend, can the two of you ever be together, because of your previous crime?" This is pretty much what the drama is about.

Nagase Tomoya, his girlfriend Kanno Miho, and their friend Okina Megumi are on a trip in Australia where they accidentally run into Honjou Manami and her friend. Through a weird trick of fate, the two groups ending up meeting again at a beach, where due to unlucky circumstances, Honjou Manami ends up hitting Kanno Miho with a dune buggy. Although Kanno Miho says that nothing is wrong with her, and allows Honjou Manami and her friend to leave, she ends up dying later from a head concusion. The story takes off from there where Honjou Manami discovers and tries to deal with the fact that she caused someone's death, Nagase Tomoya shows intense hatred of Honjou Manami to cover up the fact that he's really falling in love with her, and vice versa, and Okina Megumi trying to support Nagase and make Manami pay for the death of her friend.

Things get even more twisted when it turns out that the lawyer Nagase, etc. has hired against Manami turns out to be Manami's boyfriend.

All in all, it's on really big messy love situation where the only true couple is Nagase and Honjou, but they have to overcome their own feelings of guilt for falling in love.


Apparently, in addition, at one point, Kanno Miho's mom guilts the heroine into prostituting herself with random men.

Oh boy. This is like a kdrama on crack. Sweet sweet crazy crack. I need this SO BADLY.

But there seem to be no English subs (it has Chinese subs)! Though this seems to be so cracktastic, I just might watch unsubbed and make my own dialogue.

I don't think I've ever heard of this, which is surprising, since Nagase Tomoya and Kanno Miho are in it. I'm sad that Kanno Miho dies, though. D:

hm, sounds interesting. I may check this out, too, if there are subs.

Random, but have you watched My Sweet City, yet?

I don't think there are subs, only for the first couple of eps. But again, with a plot like that, who needs subs?

No, haven't seen MSS. Is it good?

That's true, but I need a REALLY good motivation to watch a dorama without subs. And by REALLY good motivation I mean Ryo or Kame. XD

It's average but not bad, kinda addictive. Kinda like 9 outs 2 in only 9O2I was a lot more realistic and well written.
