dangermousieI am about 15 minutes into Kimura Takuya's Tsuki No Koibito and I really really love the drama. (I so rarely follow even one airing jdrama but this season I am following three).
One problem. Everyone is all in a shipping frenzy - will Kimura end up with his close friend or the awesome Chinese striker girl. But my problem is this - I loathe his character so very much. Kimura plays him well so it's no slight on his ability but the character himself is appalling. Those of you who watched twdrama Silence, he is sort of like Vic Zhou's character only with Vic you always got the sense of fragility and wonder and a dreamer crushed (and he had a horrible father making him do stuff) but here that is all absent - he is a capricious uncaring plutocrat, firing an employee, throwing a concept into disarray and making everyone work overtimr, or bulldozing a factory full of striking workers (not inside, he doesn't make worker jam :P) with about as much concern as I would exhibit upon changing shoes. UGH. I loathe him - he is an interesting person but a despicable human being. His friend may be cool:
But I would never want her with him.
Oh, and I adore the striker girl - she is my favorite character. She reminds me of heroine of Silence. I don't want her with him either though. Ugh.
I don't want him with anyone. He is toxic. I reserve the right to change my mind but for now - eeeeek!
ETA: I changed my mind. The first meeting with Striker Girl was too funny for words. I think I may have a ship after all. Oh YES.
ETA2: Screw it. I confess. All it takes is for him to do one of his patented intense looks and I am a goner. Kimura, what are you doing to my sense of morals? :)
