last friends, oyaji, kurosagi
watched 3 dramas recently.
as i watched the first 3 episodes of last friends, a few thoughts occured to me.
1) there goes an idea i have been mooting.
2) this is going to be a great drama.
3) in recent times j-dramas have changed in their concept. nowadays, the individual episodes are in a way stand-alone episodes that you can watch without really needing to know what happened previously. last friends went back to the old way- one continuous story.
4) some dramas are great because you just want to watch it quickly till the end. like proposal daisakusen. you can spend the whole night watching it from start to end. with last friends, this is not quite possible, because it is so disturbing.
nishikido ryo's portrayal of oikawa sousuke has cemented his place as the most hateable character in j-drama history. with regards to the ending, i don't know how else it could have ended, so i wouldn't say it was disappointing.
talking about ending...what is the ending to the cinderella story? this was a question put forth in kurosagi. we may think the story has ended, but for the characters, the people involved, maybe it has really just begun. and while we can move on to read the next story, the characters are still stuck in that story.
kurosagi is also a cool show. you can tell it has manga roots.
quotable quotes:
-things that you buy with money will eventually break. why don't you try cherishing something else?
-whereever you may be, whatever you may be doing, remember this: you are not alone.
what i like about kurosagi is how everything is woven intricately together, and how everyone has a back story.
katsuragi saying "humans are interesting" reminds me terribly of ryuk in death note.
oyaji is another great drama. rewatched it after 6, 7 years. how time flies.
maido ari.
