Not a bad way of waking up. :mrgreen:

More shots from Yui's guest spot on Lady, the drama itself is only so-so but this was actually a really good episode. Yui played the only survivor of 4 kidnapped women from a few years prior, but in reality was she really a victim? :sweat:

Yui's new drama, Muscle Girl, will be starting up on April 19th, :woot: it's a late night show. It's a sports comedy about the president (Ichikawa) of a female pro-wrestling organization which is unfortunately facing some financial struggles. She happens to meet a South Korean star (Lee Hongki) who came to Japan in order to search for his mother. Teaming up, the two protagonists and Ichikawafs female wrestlers try to fight against their biggest rivals, another veteran wrestling organization.
Couple pics of Yui and her co-star.

Couple shots from the first episode of Muscle Girl, not great quality but have to live with it for now. :puppydog: Seems so-so but too early to tell, watched unsubbed which didn't help, airs Tuesdays at midnight.

Some shots from a promo that she did for Muscle Girl, episode 2 aired last night, hoping it'll be subbed but not holding my breath, most of those late night shows don't end up getting subbed. :puppydog:

Some better quality shots from the first episode of Muscle Girl. Quite surprised that it's going to be subbed, :mrgreen: first episode is hard subbed at DA, hopefully they'll do the whole series. :fingerscrossed:

^^ All I can say is don't bother with that drama, yuck. :shamefulcry:
On the other hand a fairly decent horror movie of Yui's was Forbidden Siren, was from 2006, didn't expect much going in but was surprised, turned out to be a good horror movie. :mrgreen:

Nope, Muscle Girl was her last drama, pics here from it, don't bother with it, she was solid in it but one of the worst dramas ever thanks to some lame K-Pop singer. :usuck:
Need her in a Cowgirl show! :doh:

Her father owned a pro female wrestling team but died and left her in charge but the gym was also in debt and about to be taken over by a rival wrestling team, trust me, it was bad. :shamefulcry:
More shots like this would have helped. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Had she dressed like that, she would have made the money quick. :mrgreen:

Or do you mean (un)dressed like that...yeah, had she would have been the biggest rated drama of the season. :victory:

From Yui's blog, new pic from her and she stated that she just finished filming a new TV movie, think it's called Special Investigation Police Department.... guess it wouldn't be a bad thing to be arrested by her. :naughty:

New from Yui's blog.... she's in Canada! Wow, that's close, she's in the White Mountains, gotta find out where that is, may never get a chance like this again. :fingerscrossed: She said she's filming something there but didn't say what, also said how much colder it is than Tokyo but enjoys finally seeing nature, things like squirrels! :hehe:
