A Beautiful Life...

[dangermousie]

I think I am brave enough to restart watching Beautiful Life. But I will need a LOT of handholding.

I am in a mad mood for a jdrama so I decided to restart ABL, about an eccentric hairdresser (KimuTaku *swoon*) and a handicapped librarian, who fall in love. And I love that these are two very individual, distinct, somewhat difficult people, not shiny romance novel fantasy.

It's romantic, and I loved the eight episodes I have seen with a crazy passion but I just know this one ends in tears, so I stopped for a long time.

Seriously, I am so going to need LJ support.

But you know what's so funny? I am really tired and nothing I was watching was keeping my interest because I get scatterbrained when exhausted. But I put this in, and the pacing. And KimuTaku (I always forget the sheer level of his intensity. He reminds me of SRK. Every time it's a shock.) and BAM.

Not tired, not inattentive, not anything any more.

Just absorbed.

He is about to go find her, even though he found out she has a one in third chance to end up dead.

OMG.

Here is a wonderful MV for it:

ETA: The problem is, much as I love this, it's giving me a huge yen to rewatch Pride (my second fave drama ever) and I can't be adding anything to the watch list :)

Word on KimuTaku's intensity.

Love for idols comes and goes; KimuTaku in a dorama, any dorama, never gets old*. For me anyway.

* except for Concerto, which bored me so :(

I have heard that Concerto is supremely boring from very many sources. I guess even KimuTaku can have an off day.

But seriously, I can't take my eyes off him.

I will hold your hand when you re-watch BL, don't worry. I even will re-watch it with you now that I have finished HERO.

I am rewatching it now and ohhhhhhhh...

When he basically proposes in his apartment and it's such a huge, accepting, loving, enormous thing but somehow matter of fact in listing difficulties (no children etc).

And he pulls her for a hug...

I just...

OH.

OMG when do you sleep? It's a quarter to 8 in the morning here and I am awake for an hour and you have been watching BL non-stop since yesterday?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

But I've seen eps 1-7 already, way earlier, so I am just watching 8 and 9 :)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Ah so desu-ka. Don't forget to watch ep 10 and 11. So much love and giddineyy within the heart break.

I always do a Pride re-watch once every few months :) Nothing like Aki/Halu fix *grin*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am very very tempted!

You know you can always angst in my direction, right? I skipped to the end of BL a few months ago just so I knew how it'd all end, and oh, the whole drama seems really great but I just never got around to watching it (incidentally: it's written by the same woman who wrote THnK). ;)

It's so good but I don't want her to die, dammit!
