long vacation

you know, somehow jdramas have this magic in them. it's like, every drama has a line or two, or a concept, that tugs your heart lightly. andden whenever you finish watching one, there's always this sense of loss.

i felt really sad when i finished long vacation. perhaps i already predicted that will happen, which is why i took my time to watch it until i simply couldnt resist watching one ep after another on tuesday. :X andden without realising, the two leads were together, happily ever after. end of story.

andden i just felt sad.

it's really no wonder that long vacation's considered a jdrama classic. first aired 14 years ago, i can't believe it took me this long to watch it. (i watched itazura na kiss a few years back you see.) the storyline's unbelievably simple, but yet it connects with the audience really well and keeps them wanting to watch more. and not to forget, even the very young kimura takuya (24 then) exuded this manly charm. like omg. 14 years later he's really still the man.

i particularly liked one sentence that sena (kimutaku) said. "when everything goes wrong, just treat it that God is giving you a long vacation."

andden i melted when sena confessed to minami that his "long vacation" ended (meaning that he's got something that's right now - who is minami) in the 2nd last episode. like OMG OMG OMG OMG. that's like the SWEETEST thing!!!

and i think God's given me a super long vacation already :P 21 years. maybe it's time to end it huh ;) i want a sena to tell me that too! :P :P

oh yes, "close to you" is unbelievably nice. i always thought it was great, but after watching the drama, i immediately downloaded the score and played it. too beautiful.

hahaha i really love kimutaku. his dramas are simply too awesome. long vacation. good luck!!. hero. engine. pride. change. mr brain. is there even one drama that kimutaku starred in that was bad??! NONE. in fact all were so darn good. (:

okay, now that he's got a new drama coming up, i've gotta start watching. let the 40-year man steal my heart again. HAHA.

+ guaishou's! :D
