[Announcement] Long Time No See!

I just came back from a short Europe trip, but I missed Fukakyon's most recent drama :( after 1 year she is now acting as a mom in this new one called Gekokujo Juken!
She looks SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Seriously, does she ever age?! (see some facial freezing by possible botox, but hey, she's like a real doll - I don't care :D )
I'm going to watch it!
Look forward to some detailed posts soon ;)

[2016 Drama] Please Love the Useless Me (Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai) - Episode 10 (Final)

AH~~ couldn't wait till the subs are out, so I'm just translating with my half ass Japanese skills with some Chinese people's comments/subs on screens.

Can't believe this was the end of the series... we definitely need an SP or 2. I gotta say, the writers wrapped it up really well. The pace is a bit too rushed and jumpy, but all the important plots were there and there are nothing left unexplained, really. AND Fukakyon KAWAIII~~~ so, I can forgive a lot of things lol.



I'm gonna miss Shibata and Shunin a lot...
Gonna miss the days I get to talk to other fans on my blog and forum posts...
*sigh*... this is why I don't like following dramas real time- I feel like I'm wayyyy too invested in the characters :P



Fukakyon's total sweetness during the shooting of the drama was shown through various photos and clips. (ex. gifting everyone chocolate on V day, joining in funny videos, being totally supportive of others) AH~~~ want to change my name to Aiko just cuz of this:

Also, this episode revealed that, Shibata's Bday is March 15th!!! whaaaaa~~ that's like almost my bday (17th)~~~ no wonder I feel so connected with her character (excluding the "donating" nature). Today's screen caps, I have the on-screen comments on, so that I can remember which part it was when I'm writing the recap (subs are used for this usually).
Let's get started so I can study!

[2016 Drama] Please Love the Useless Me (Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai) - Episode 09

OHOHOH~~~ I was gonna download right this morning, but somehow, the website wouldn't show me the torrent link... Anyways, I got it off Bilibili.com as usual ;) Gonna go watch again for the real-time on screen comments :D

This week, we started with where we've left off from last episode - Shunin rejecting Shibata's proposal lol. They are so cute~~~!!!
In this episode, we finally are going to deal with Shunin's feelings towards Haruka and how he is slowly being moved by Shibata~~~
Warning though... this episode gets more and more heavy as it progresses. You can see that they are wrapping all the lines up and resolving the final conflict/plot.
The series are going to end next week :'( even though I really want to watch more. I agree this is the correct number of episodes given how fast the storyline is moving forward and how much is left from the published contents of the manga. I'd totally be down for another season or SP though :D
Rating is pretty stable, dropped a little this week, but I mean, last week was like REALLY GOOD.
*9.0__*9.3__*8.2__*9.8__*8.7__10.1__*9.6__10.3__*9.7 (Avg = 9.41). 
So it did pretty well. Ganbade~ Kyoko chan!!!


this is my favourite smile :) her classic~

and the smile that breaks my heart...


Fukakyon showed a lot of heart warming smiles that I really LOVE and a lot of classic saddening/heart breaking smiles... This episode gave her a good chance to show off her acting chops ;) This character is perfect for her. I can't imagine anyone being Shibata.

Let's get started!~~~

[2016 Drama] Please Love the Useless Me (Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai) - Episode 08

Wooo~ I finally finished off a really REALLY busy week full of exams and rehearsals!!! :D

Then I found this episode to be the BEST of the whole series!!! LOVE IT! So funny and the flow was great. There wasn't any part that I found to be super unreasonable or slow. 

It reflected on the rating as well!

*9.0__*9.3__*8.2__*9.8__*8.7__10.1__*9.6__10.3 [average *9.37]　

Two episodes left! If we keep up with the good pace and keep going up in rating, we might be able to see a 10% average(?!) or at least 9.5% ;) - already highest of that time slot, no pressure hahaha

As always, Fukakyon is gorgeous and deadly cute in all the scenes <3

Anyways~ let's start!! 

[2016 Drama] Please Love the Useless Me (Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai) - Episode 07

Sorry for the late update this week... Had no time to even sleep. This will also be the case for next week :( But I promise, I'll write a recap as soon as possible.

In the middle of the episode, I was like:
Did I miss a part of the episode?
Cuz although there were a lot of build up, the transition came quite suddenly....
Like whaaaaaat?!
Anyhow~ still very good.
The rating for this episode was 9.6%. Didn't stay over 10, but still good. Average comes to 9.2% still the best of this time slot. Hopefully next week
Episode 7, serving as the turning point, finally gave Fukakyon opportunity to show off her acting chops - which is quite awesome! (I still gotta say, whatever she did around her mouth isn't great, but she's still conveying those emotions pretty well). This episode had more negative emotions and actually have bigger impact on viewers. Still funny and warm mostly, but lots of moments where you just feel bad for Akira, Haruko, Shunin, and Mogami. Shibata, although kinda did it to herself, I totally see where she's coming from.
