dangermousieEither I am getting brain-washed by Hana Yori Dango fashion, or it's getting better. I loved a few of Rui's outfits in the later eps and I have kinda a yen for Doumyouji's greatcoat, very 19th century military style. Plus, I like the fact that the guys wear ties a lot. Hmmmm. Soon I am going to like fur collars at this rate.
As you can tell by the above, I am still watching the HYD jdorama and it continues to be a great deal of fun. It's totally hitting all my kinks: guys telling girls they will protect them. Guys giving girls their coat. Yeah, I am kinda easy.
Also, I've decided I love Rui. I am a D/T shipper (which makes it the same ship in all four incarnations of the story I've come across :P) but Rui is just so cool. I love it when he takes Tsukushi's hand in the cafeteria, telling her he'll take care of her. And he takes care of her family later. He shouldn't work out his relationship issues by screwing with D/T but it's kinda understandable and I do think he decides to fix it for them because his own ship has gone FubAR. I think I am rather a sucker for guys and girls being friends, really good friends, with no OTPishness involved. I hope Shizuka comes back for him in this version too, because he's a great guy. Oddly, in Meteor Garden, I liked Rui a lot but didn't fancy him (I was all about DMS once he got his hair taken care of) but when the same actor played Ling in Mars, I found him sex on legs. I guess I like my fictional men violent and troubled, huh?
Also, while I am not keen on the Teen Pageant stuff (I know it was in the manga), but it's worth it for the hilarious and cool scenes of F4 teaching Tsukushi stuff. Also, in any incarnation, Soujiroh and Yuki are total adorableness together. And so are Doumyouji and Tsukushi on the roof (coat! he gave her his coat! squeeeee) and it's rather disturbing but I like Tsukushi best when she is hitting people. I do love that she is such a strong female character. Just as I like that ultimately, both she and Doumyouji are pretty weird people, misfits, and are fun to watch.

lesbiassparrow and I are going to do a watchalong of Mars, my favorite Taiwanese drama. It's 21 episodes, it's based on a manga of the same name, and it's really cool. We are looking for other volunteers to join in (or to discuss it with us if you've seen it already) because the more the merrier. The story revolves around the very dysfunctional yet very compatible college lovers, Ling and Qi Luo and the manifold issues they have to overcome. It's a great great mini, chockfull of angst, hot guys, star-crossed lovers and other good stuff. It also stars (for those who've seen Meteor Garden) Lei and Shan Cai from MG. You can download it all subbed here, so if you want to watch, it's easy to get. If you need more inducement, I have some pictures of the male lead wet. Would those help?
