HERO

[EDIT] ok i sort of take my words back on how wonderful kimutaku is. because clara brought up a very good point... don't you think not only does he not age, he is also looking younger and younger??!! which can be rather freaky. no surprise if he did stuff like botox i guess.. and if he did, that's a super turn off. but really, i was looking at his photos, then i realised those photos that he looked really young and good in, are actually taken THIS YEAR. omg. either he had botox, or they did some photoshop. i still like him, but erm, less :p. [/EDIT]



























































i just watched finish HERO (the old jap drama starring takuya kimura and matsu takako).

the drama's VERY good. the directing is excellent, and it's very funny. loads of funny moments, and i grew to love all of the characters in it. ok, ALMOST all :p.

oh, it's about public prosecutors by the way. and i dont think they glorified the profession of lawyers as much as other tv shows. they did portray their work as being dull and mundane (which i appreciated), although of course there are cool moments la, involving my wonderful kimura.

and i just HAVE to talk about kimura. he's.. SO HOT. WAAAHH. ok honestly, at first i found him ok only. but by the end of the show, whoaaa. he's the charismatic kind. especially at the last part of the last episode, the screen shots of him are SO GOOD. super super hot, HAHAHA. and he's the um chio ("secretly smile") kind in the show. his character is very different from that portrayed in Long Vacation. and also different from Beautiful Life (which i didn't finish watching, got sian by the general sombre mood of the show, will watch when i'm the right mood for it). i realised that i didn't find kimura hot at the beginning of Long Vacation either, and he wasn't hot at all in Beautiful Life (yet again, i only caught maybe about 2 episodes?) it's his overall charisma that wins you over in the end. ok i'm just repeating myself, but heck it. HAHA.

matsu takako seemed to look hotter when i saw her when i was young. hmm.

the plot's good because they don't focus much on love? there IS the theme of love, but the show isn't about love. how refreshing! and the criminal cases are interesting. the love between the leads are so subtlely and realistically created and the progression was natural. very goood.

and i love the music! especially the end theme: Can You Keep A Secret by Utada Hikaru. it's hilarious how they gave utada so much screen time in her cameo role. it's very little screen time in reality, but for a role as a cameo waitress, it's unbelievably how much time they spent focusing on her face. i didn't know it was her when i was watching, and found it so bizarre until i realised that it's utada, and then things started to make sense.


kimura is so cute! he looks best when he looks directly at the camera. pity that he has crooked teeth. matsu also has crooked teeth. oh wells.

shucks, i'm as meaty, or even MORE meaty than matsu takako then. oh no. i better lose weight!!

and look at the pictures of kimura, he is looking hotter with age. and he doesnt seem to have aged at all!! goodness.. what is this..

ok end of my bimbo rant :)!
