Musings of the Obsessive Kind

Oh ProDai.

I just finished ep 6 and I was totally crying.

Because it's his last chance, really, and he gets a job even though he is sick, and gets her that giant toy thing (for her birthday) and she decides she will try, for one final time, to confess her feelings, but they miss each other because she comes to his apartment with comfort food and waits for him, but he ran to her place, even though he is totally sick, and he is sitting outside with the present, and when they are about to lock up, he gets down on his hands and knees and begs for them to wait 10 more minutes, not to lock up.

OMG.

OMG.

And finally they both give up and he comes home and sees her package so her runs to find her but even though he is running (sick!!!!) he makes there too late, because the flash goes off and...

he is back to the present.

Oh.

OH.

Frell it, you made me cry, drama.

I think he is thinking now, he can never have her, after all.

Rei, you are SILLY.

Oh ProDai.

You, guys.

You, guys.

he gave her the second button from of his baseball uniform.

I seriously teared up, I am insane.

Damn you, Yamapi, for having the most expressive eyes in jdrama. Seriously he totally embodies the whole expression 'his heart was in his eyes.' OMG.

Oh God, Ken is so impossible: so head-smack-worthy, with his inability to confess to Rei that he loves her even now, so boy-dense, and yet so capable of these incredible gestures, however little (giving her the eraser) or however huge (staging that bball graduation ceremony). And ultimately, a good guy (look how he was unable to not bring Tada closer to Rei, even if it ruins his chances, because he knew Tada was a good guy).

And the way he looks at her? OMG. Even I am melting.

I love ProDai like it was a chocolate chip cookie and I was starving for a month.

I have restarted watching Proposal Daisakusen. Oh, so good. I am on ep 3, and oh, Ken and Rei can still make me laugh and sniffle. So awesome. I love love LOVE the scene where Ken switches seats to be with rei and they just sit next to each other while the rest of the class runs out to see if the new hot teach is stripping. Just...guuuuh. So much chemistry.

Also, Tada-san was Rei's teacher? That is totally gross. Ugh to Tada-san.

I am finally watching Yamapi's Proposal Daisakusen. When it first aired, I saw first two eps and loved it, but I find it almost impossible to watch airing dramas. So now I am watching it properly, and it is SO INCREDIBLE. While I often prefer kdramas and twdramas to jdramas for various reasons, there is a certain crispness, a nuance to jdramas, the others don't have. Not to mention the pace. And Yamapi? Oh, he can break my heart. And does.

Oh, how much do I love an OTP who are best friends? Thiiiiis much. PD is a Japanese drama about Ken and Rei, who have best friends since they have been small. And Ken has been in love with Rei for years. And it stars at Rei's wedding. To another man. And Ken is given a chance to go back in time and to win her over again.

Here is an awesome awesome PD mv:



I love love love love love LOVE it.

But now am off to 3:10 to Yuma. Oh, and comment of the day goes to Mr. Mousie. We are in a crowded Starbucks and he fishes through my Borders bag to see what I bought and fishes out S2 of Sumernatural, looks at it, grins, and asks, very loudly, 'So, Boytoys?' LOL. I nearly died.

Courtesy of my wonderful flist I just learned there will be a...wait for it...KUROSAGI MOVIE. That's right, ladies!

Yamapi and Maki, one of the best otps ever, back TOGETHER!!! Long stares of ust. Yamapi's black hair and Maki's grin and omg omg omg if we are lucky, maybe ship resolution or at least a hug.

On the big screen omg. Why do I not live in Japan????

I hope it's a sequel and not reimagining but ultimately I don't care as it is Kurosaki and Tsurara, who own me, back!!!!!!

I am so psyched I am typing this on a tiny bberry keyboard which kills my fingers. But omg omg omg!!!!

I must have been a very good girl.

I am off to bed.

But because there are few things as awesome in the drama world as Yamapi with black hair, I leave you with the following:



( Fifteen more pics. How come he has better skin than I do? )

First off, I have to rec calledinvain's Kurosagi's Five futures fic. It's one of the futures and it's amazing and angsty and happy and perfect and is a bit of a Hanadan crossover.

I have finished ep 2 of ProDai and it is seriously

the. cutest. thing. ever.

It's going into my top 10 jdramas for sure and is my favorite drama of the spring season by leaps and bound (yes, even over Witch Yoo Hee).

There is not a single thing I don't love about it, except for the fact that I can't gorge on all the eps right away.

Also, Yamapi? So. freaking. awesome. He has great comedic timing and expressions (the scene in the bath? LOL) but he can also break my heart with one of his patented wounded looks. ProDai is this huge emotional rollecoaster for me: I giggle and I sniffle (much more often than one should in a light drama, but it's always the 'light' ones like 'My Girl' that get me the most). Mr. Mousie was actually mocking me because I get so invested that at the last part of the ep (with the new student teacher who is the future groom, baaaaaad vie, ugh! erasing Ken's message to Rei) I was making repeated stabbing motions at the screen and audible 'stabbing' sounds. Heh.

Ken is adorable. He is one of those rare drama guys I would love it real life (a lot of them are magnetic disasters so it rules them out as suitable companions). I loved the thing he told Rei in the hallway about excuses not mattering because all the excuses don't matter as he didn't get her what she wanted. Of course, I can see a 23 year old saying it (because that's what he is, a 23 year old back in time) but not a just-18 boy.

And that is why I want to take Rei, adorable and awesome as she is, and shake her. Hard. Girl, I understand about coy. Or shy. But seriously, your hints are much much much too oblique for him to get. He is getting them now because he is much older and is fixating on each detail, but seriously. The birthday thing? Cute. Adorable. But insane to expect him to figure out. Guys are dense. Teenage guys? Triply so. Boys are emotionally stupid, it's a known fact. Tell him you like him. Come on, cut him some slack.

I have also, being on a jdrama kick, started continuing with Nobuta Wo Produce and am in middle of ep 9. I loved ep 8 (the first ep I really fell for, it took me the longest time. Posted about it much earlier as got sidetracked with something else afterwards) and interestingly my strong liking has held as I love 9 and am really emotionally invested in these characters: I adore Shuji: I started out thinking of him as the most bland but now I am anxiously protective of him; and Akira: I went from finding him freaky to amazing. His comment about how he doesn't care if Nobuta and Shuji are together because they come first and he comes second is...waaaah. And of course I care for the scared, blossoming Nobuta. It's wonderful. I guess not being so incredibly tired helps.
