Romatic Princess was cute but didn't hold my attention so I started the jdrama I planned to start for a while, Hotaru No Hikari.

(I did a summary for it here, with vids).
YOU GUYS THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING IN EXISTENCE.
I am an ep in, and I defy anyone, no matter how down, bored, or just plain grumpy, to not emerge out of this without a grin on their face, and feeling warm and wonderful.
Ayase Haruka is so funny and so gorgeous, and I adore her bossy, oddball, messy Hotaru who makes up her own words, drinks beer for breakfast and goes giddy over a kiss by a handsome crush (Other Guy, who is hot and cool at the same time). Fujiki Naohito is just as good as he was in Itoshi Kimi E (and as gorgeous) only this time he is making me grin and not bawl. His Takano is all taken-aback, sweet-natured perfectionist of adorkableness. Both of them have so much adorableness, I just might explode.
GUUUUUH. I just might fall into HnH coma and never emerge, I love it THIS much.

Date: 2008-02-27 06:00 am (UTC)Watched Hotaru no Hikari and loved it. I first wanted Ayase to get with the other guy because his stare was so impressive but then I shipped Fujiki Naohito with Ayase because it made sense. The drama does a great job on their relationship by not making it too obvious. They grow but not together. They grow parallel but not so intertwined that I think it is all about love love. Do I make sense???

Date: 2008-02-27 10:13 am (UTC)I have watched this far too many times already as i finish it in about 2 evenings... and I constantly catch the BOYFRIEND whistling the theme tune everytime he thinks i'm not paying attention! ROFL!!!
I simply love the animation. Also, I most definitly fall into the himono-onna category!

Also, I am pleased to observe, in the brief FN shirtless scene, that while he is definitely slim, unlike JE boys he looks neither concave nor in need of an intervention in the form of a ham sandwich. It was a pleasant shock.
