dangermousieToo tired for long meta...
1. Kimura Takuya is beautiful.
2. I wonder what his backstory trauma is. Seeing the burn, the memory loss, and the nightmares, it must be quite a doozy.
3. I think we were supposed to feel sorry for Rich Girl, but nope...what a complete psychotic idiot. Anybody who'd kill someone else with so little provocation or reason (I am sorry, this is hardly Mawang manipulation) and then do herself in for not much reason either, is clearly too stupid to live, literally.
4. Yuko=Awesome. I love best the fact that she is her own person. She might love Ryo, but she is not needy. And she also doesn't see him as either an unrealistic, stupid ideal, or a thing that's good for sex.
5. I love love LOVE all the Ryo/Yuko scenes with total adoration. He is afraid, and happy, and irritated with her: he feels. I love the best the scene where he kneels at her feet and clutches her and she strokes his hair. It's both romantic and comforting-maternal. It's like all the emotions he normally can't experience got poured into her. (I love that at Rich Girl's suicide, you see what bothers him is not the death but that he can't feel anything). Or the scene where he spins her around on the roof. Or he hears sirens and he is terrified something happened to her. But yes, he clutches her, literally clutches her, so often. It's like the one steady, real, human thing in his life (and I love that she sees him at his weakest, when he has his nightmares, and she soothes it). I mean, he even turns down meaningless sex with Rich Bitch (whatever her name) which, this being Ryo, is...huge.
6. I don't care for the Detective Brother. He is boring. Seriously, he is not very competent, and his constant need to give Creepy Stalker GF breaks (she is an unbalanced psycho, she tried to stab Yuko, she killed someone etc) is ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. What kind of policing is that.
7. And speaking of ridiculous. Good going, Detective. Stabbing a person on the street. Yeah, that will make your little sister give him up. How about you sit with her and explain things in detail? Maaaaybe?
Million Stars has some (very few) similariries with Mawang, but I adore the detective in Mawang a lot, and here...I just use it as opportunity to ff a bit while reading subs.
ETA: I am very impressed with Kimura for doing this. Admittedly, I haven't watched every jdrama ever made, but this is the darkest jdrama main character I've ever seen or know of. Quite against any idol image.
