A follow-up to this post...

Yeah, my friend watched Kurosagi after she finished with Hana Yori Dango. She has a good review on it but she's not as excited as I am. (Well, she did got infected by the Maido Ari and Bang! thingy. I kept getting that in her sms recently.) Still, that's better than "I don't like it", right?

Also, she was kind of surprised why I like to watch Kurosagi. It's dark and Kurosaki is so cold and emotionless. Yeah. I think that's what she said. And I realised that I don't know how to answer her.

Is it because of my blinding love to watch Yamapi in a drama where he's playing the main character? (& also sang the theme song)

Is it because I so much want to see Akira X Nobuta to happen that I use Kurosagi to "fill that gap"? There's no Shuuji to interrupt them in Kurosagi. But then, I'm okay with nothing happened between Kurosaki and Tsurara in the end of Kurosagi. In fact, I think the ending was beautifully done.

My all-time favourite character portrayed by Yamapi is Kusano Akira. But Kurosagi holds a special place in my heart. I love it so dearly that whenever I re-watch it I got that feeling in my heart like Tsurara (when she's falling in love with Kurosaki). I got angry (but didn't show it) for no reason when I read or hear people criticise the drama. Yes. I know the drama wasn't perfect but some of the remarks were unfair; some were made by those who didn't even finished watching. You can't give a review on drama or movie you didn't watch till the end.

My first Yamapi drama was actually Dragon Zakura. I didn't have much opinion on his character there. Furthermore, I watched Dragon Zakura because of Abe Hiroshi. At that time, I'm not interested in aloof, cool kind of student in japanese dramas... (Had the same feeling initially when watching Sawada in Gokusen)..

Then I decided to watch "Nobuta wo Produce". That totally changed my mind about Yamapi. I was shocked to see Akira.
"Is this the same Yuusuke in Dragon Zakura?"

Akira is a character that's supposed to be annoying but I can't find fault in him. I love Akira. I love seeing him liking Nobuta. Is that why I love Kurosagi then? To see "Akira" and "Nobuta" once again?

Maybe there are several factors that build up the love I have for Kurosagi...


One thing for sure. If you said Yamapi lack of acting skills now, I believe he'll be full of it in the future because he has potential.
