i don’t really know how to feel about this drama. i decided i needed to watch a japanese drama to prepare myself for being around japanese a lot more (taking a japanese class in college and hopefully getting that job with the little japanese girl). i picked sprout because i thought that would be the most age-appropriate of the new japanese dramas out there. i wanted one that is current, so we could have something to talk about. i doubt she watched the original hana kimi (2007), or any of the others i’ve watched. the most recent one is from 2009. she’s too young; making me feel old. so, anyways, back to the point: i picked one i hoped she would know. and, it’s based off a manga. not surprising, usually pleasing.  however, i’m not a big fan so far. i think the main reason for that is because the female lead seems selfish.. it also seems to have drifted from the manga. the synopsis for the manga said she currently had an idealistic life and a BOYFRIEND. whereas, in the drama, she clearly doesn’t have a boyfriend.. and is in-fact on the search for a mystery man who came to her aid during the day of the entrance ceremony at school. currently, my favorite character is the male lead’s best friend. i have 2 more episodes to watch to get caught up. hopefully it will get better!!

this show had me on edge. it made me angry. it made me cry. this is one of the most powerful dramas i’ve watched. it was raw.. it was real. it was emotional. i don’t want to give anything away, because i want everyone to watch this drama!! i didn’t think matsumoto jun could play such a serious role. he’s an amazing actor who deserves attention with this drama!!

i found this show!! i watched it forever ago and could not remember the name of it. it took me quite some time, but i kept searching for it!! yankee-kun to megane-chan, based on the manga flunk punk rumble, is one of my absolute favorite japanese dramas ^^

narimiya hiroki really has this incredibly shaped mouth. it looks like he’s a character out of an anime, and possibly a double for the joker when he smiles :}
