ProDai is the best thing ever

[dangermousie]

Yeah, I know I am spamming. No, I don't care.

Because OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG he just hugged her from behind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and asked her not to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right after she told him she decided to accept someone else's proposal !!!!!!!!!! and he is wearing a suit and his eyes !!!!!!!!!!!! I think I died.

Seriously, I know Ken has trouble saying things, but Rei has to be blind during that whole conversation (or years before) not to realize how much he loves her.

OMG OMG OMG.

ETA: He is clutching her, desperately and he asked her to marry him !!!!!!!!!! But she pulled away and walked away and his face !!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit.

ETA2: And OMG, he spent a month's salary on engagement ring. And he asked for biggest size, because he didn't want the ring not to fit Rei and he didn't know the size. And oh, his eyes are wet. ohohohohohohooooooh.

ETA3: I adore Mikio. Totally. OTOH, I really am beginning to find Rei cruel.

ETA4: The scene on the playground with Rei and Ken? I have no words. !!!!!!!! Oh, and chibi!Rei and chibi!Ken and his saying he'll take responsibility for her? EEEEEE!

You know another thing that bothers me about Tada-sensei? He seems uninterested in Rei's past, but that is what makes her, her and a view that Ken can get but not Tada-sensei.

ETA5: OMG OMG OMG OMG. Ken's speech? >>>>>>>>anything. I was crying so hard I had problems reading subtitles. And oh, how perfect that it's not just for Ken to learn to express himself, but it's equally about Rei realizing that she was at fault too, for running away, for being unkind to Ken's 'clumsy gentleness' and being so afraid to be hurt by rejection she ran away first. OMG. And this intercut with shots of ken crying in the empty church? OMG. But seriously, that speech earlier? When he told her he loved her and loves her and why he does, in front of the whole crowd, he who was always too shy to express himself even when they were alone? Oh. Seriously. Oh ProDai.

ETA6: OMG. Rei actually running, running after Ken, in her wedding dress. OMG. I love you, makers of ProDai!. And Ken not knowing, riding away in a taxi. And Rei, so desperately wanting a miracle of her own, and being granted, and we end with one of the most gorgeous, hopeful, giddy endings I have seen: the taxi is broken down, and Ken is out the back, on the empty road, minus his suit jacket, pushing the car and then he hears Rei, calling his name, her special nickname for him, that she hasn't used since that night he proposed, 'Ken-zou!' and he turns and we close with that incredible, shining look on his face. Oh.

Kdrama, jdrama, what kind of drama? and is that its actual name - ProDai?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Jdrama. Full name "proposal daisakusen" (otherwise known as Operation Love). Came out earlier in the year, starring one of my favorite jdrama actors, Tomoshita Yamahisa better known as Yamapi. (He is the star of my second favorite jdrama, Kurosagi).

omg i havent seen this - like i stopped at ep 7! now i want to finish downloading all of this!!!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

This is a rare drama that gets better and better and totally doesn't drag.

[kittykatz.livejournal.com]

Man, I think I want to watch this, or maybe the last few episodes. I was ready to bawl at your synopsis.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

This is so amazing, I totally recommend! If you want to skip the earlier eps, start with 4 or 5. Or at latest 8 or 9.

[kittykatz.livejournal.com]

LOL, after Coffee Prince, I'll think about getting this.

Isn't it wonderful! I was totally obsessed with it while it was running and even watched the raw for quite a few of the episodes. I had a great time reading the live commenting with allbloomedout on d-addicts while the last episode was showing and alternately squeeing and screaming about the stuff that was happening :).

I was initially mad at the ending, but it grew on me after i saw it. Hmm, I just realized that I haven't yet watched the subbed version of the last episode, since I watched it raw first and then left for my Summer holiday before it got subbed :D...

I thought the ending was perfect. I didn't mind not seeing the smoochies, or what not. They had so much to talk about, and hug and what not :)

i haven't read your whole entry coz i don't want to be spoiled. haha! i only finished up to episode 6 and the first lines of your entry made me want to watch the next episodes!! eeep. but i have classes so maybe i'll just watch it from episode 7 up to the last ep this weekend T_T

btw, a lot of people said that the ending is so disappointing! but i read somewhere that they will release an extra episode this coming December 7, 2007. i hope it's true! ^_^ i love love love ProDai ♥

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, hope I didn't spoil you too much.

I loved the ending but be sure to watch until after credits.

[hope-fuleigh.livejournal.com]

The ending got a lot of flack, because it was yet another Yamapi dorama with an 'unresolved' ending and yet another one without much in the way of PDAs, but I thought it was absolutely brilliant, one of my favorite endings of any series... because that's what the whole series is really about - moving beyond what has happened in the past, beyond that exact moment in the present where everything seems so grim, and taking action to seize the potential of the future, and it was just so... so absolutely perfect

and taking action to seize the potential of the future, and it was just so... so absolutely perfect

Oh, exactly. That is why I loved it so, thought it was perfect.

There were so many awesome moments in this drama - the whole button thing - and the first kiss - *squee!*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know, it was so tender and perfect.
