I knew I shouldn't have started.

One of my greatest discovery made in 2010 was an actor called  Mukai Osamu (向井理), from Atashinchi no Danshi (also starring Maki, and forgive me for saying that the ShoxMaki pairing and ShunxMaki pairing never got to me the way MukaixMaki pairing did in that drama).

So, when asked by Jen which other Japanese actors I like, I had to bring him up right? And that led to her telling me how big a thing Mukai is right now, after the hit morning (short) drama Gegege no Nyobo.

But after learning the number of episodes that drama had, I told myself I had no time, and brushed it off. Afterall, it was set in 'premodern' times, a period I don't particularly like for dramas.

But over the weekend, I got bored, and decided to watch just one episode or two. And the rest is history.

Now I'm addicted. But I'm stuck.

I can't find subs beyond ep 36 T.T, and the non-standard Japanese they're using is taxing my already fatigued brain.

In a way, it's a blessing, I guess.

But MUKAI!! He's so cute even when he tries to act 40. lol.

Oh yes! You reminded me. He was that senpai from HachiKuro ne. I really liked him there, so it wasn't so bad for Toma to be heartbroken. lol!

He's a much better senpai than Kase Ryo in Sho's movie. <3

Huh, why?

I loved that movie alot, even though many people panned it. Aoi Yu's one of my fave actresses! *see, its not my Sho bias talking now*
