and completely upset that Honami rejected Ryohei. I've been rooting for him the entire series, it drove me nuts the first time he confessed to Narumi by accident- now this!

I thought I had my drama fix earlier, but now I'm compelled to finish the series while I have the time.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the show... :victory:

I had really hoped to get started on this one today.. but there's no way I'll be done with this response..

Maybe I can give myself a little treat of one ep. tomorrow, between gym time and japanese study.

Maybe you shouldn't... They're like Lay's potato chips: You just can't eat, er, watch just one.... :victory:

When I watched Seikei Bijin the first time, I finished it all in two days... During the work week. :sweat:

I recall being rather sleepy at work those few days... :beaten:

Haha.. that's always fun. I find it's terrible when you're studying though - it's impossible to keep awake.

Fortunately, my current job is exciting enough to propel me through the day, even if I'm pretty tired.

Though last night, I must have been really tired. I went to my room at 9, tumbled on my bed, poked my head up at 10, brushed my teeth, washed my face and went to sleep. And I slept 'til like 8:00 this morning..

My hours were really screwy while studying and after I took bar exam.. I was routinely staying up until 12:30-1.

Wow.. I'll really have to be careful with this one - every post you're making, the episodes are flying by :)

Cool. :victory:

Some people are turned off by the romance between Honami and Ryusui... I think mainly because Ryusui doesn't fit the uber good-looking romantic lead that everyone is so brainwashed with...

It's a good mix of silly and endearing- a very welcome change of pace from the DV related drama of another series I'm currently following. :beaten:

Yeah, see I'm not a huge fan of Ryusui because I like Ryohei much more with the whole "third grade pigtail pulling turning into love"/unconditional acceptance thing, but Ryusui isn't a bad character per se. Their plot fuels the drama, if Ryohei had successfully confessed to Honami that first time and they hooked up- the rest of the episodes would be pointless.

Besides, he's the head of an Ikebana clan, not an underwear model- there's really no reason for him to be ridiculously good looking in the first place.

Exactly.

But people seem to conveniently forget that. ;)

I don't always go for looks, but I dislike Shiina Kippei. Mostly because in all the dramas I've seen him in, I have disliked his characters, either because he was the "other guy" or he wasn't a very likeable. And I can't seem to remember which drama/movie that people mentioned he was actually good in.

On topic: watched Daisuki episode 3. The mother-daughter conflict is really heart-wrenching at times. :(

You pretty much confirmed my comment. :P

Wait, what do you mean? My love is Sano Shiro and Kohinata Fumiyo at a close second. Come to think of it, they're much better looking than Shiina Kippei, so I guess I am shallow. :beaten:

You're not shallow...You're right... Shiina Kippei's character in SB was a complete lump, looks or not...he had the personality of the dead plants he dealt with, which is to say none...symbolism, anyone?

PS...Daisuki! will just get better and better, if you can raise your tolerance for HIMAWARI!!...HIMAWARI!!!

Yeah, the guy just has no personality in any of the dramas I've seen him in. I do not get why he still gets acting jobs because from what I've seen, he can NOT act. (Prove me wrong, someone!)

I'm already liking this drama a lot, so I'm looking forward to watching more episodes even though I sort of know what happens in the last episodes. :sweat: And I don't mind her wailing HIMAWARIIIIII!!! all the time. Not really, anyway..

Yet Honami fell for him... The points being "Beauty is skin deep" and "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

My argument is, in the eyes of a busu, ANYONE looks good. :rofl:

On topic: gonna watch Daisuki ep 4 (or 5--can't remember)some time today..

I thought he pretty good in Overtime. [/list:u]

I guess he was ok there. Maybe it's just the "other guy" syndrome that I disliked in that drama. Same thing with Kimura Yoshino. I usually love her in dramas, but I wasn't crazy about her as the "other girl." I just can not think of any dramas where I actually liked him in.
