Ikemen desu ka? Episode 1

I wasn't going to watch Ikemen Desu Ne, because
1. it's a remake of one of my fav Korean romcoms. And a 1-for-1 remake at that!
2. I don't like the female lead.
3. none of the male leads attract me (at least for now, I can't say if they wil grow on me haha).

But then, having heard so much about it, I gave it a try. And discovered these:

1. (Japanese) A.N.JELL is a national charismatic band with all albums selling in the million(s), winning major awards at award ceremonies, and are good-looking. For that, they are called a living legend.

arashi-fan-girl-in-me: So is Arashi, with their albums easily reaching a million, topping charts, and making history everywhere (even in Guinness!)

2. The President of their management company uses the term "YOU-tachi", literally.

arashi-fan-girl-in-me: Johnny-san?!!

YOU-tachi!

3. This:

arashi-fan-girl-in-me: Arashi jet.

I've always thought it'll be great if Jun can act in You're Beautiful, or even better, Arashi can act in a show with the same concept! If only...

Conclusion:
As usual, Shinwoo/Shu and Jeremy/Yuki captured my allegiance from the start. Whether this version of Tae Kyung (Ren) will catch up later...well, I'll have to watch further! At least, I'm not put off by the show, like Hanakimi 2011 and Ouran Host Club. That's good enough a result. =)

Kis-My-Ft2

Never would I have imagined this day to come but...after 3 episodes of Ikemen Desu Ne, I posted this on my weibo (Chinese equivalent of Twitter):

天啊，看了日版的《原来是美男》，既然迷上了扮演しゅう的kis-My-Ft2成员.[心] 然后在YOUTUBE上看了Everybody Go的表演（http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoNkUdBZ3nQ），又喜欢上另一个成员。不懂名字，但就是摆明的主唱。那个担当KI和那担当F的两位！两人太帅，太口爱了！！[太阳] 但是既然是Kis-My-Ft2的，应该比我小吧[泪]

My gosh, after watching the Japanese version of "You're Beautiful", I actually got mesmerised by the Kis-My-Ft2 member who plays Shuu (aka Shinwoo). And after watching the Everybody Go (theme song) performance on youtube, I grew to like another member. I don't know their names, but they're the obvious lead singers. The one who represents KI and the one representing F! They're too ikemen, too cute!! But since they're from Kis-My-Ft2, they must be younger than me. *cries*

So cute, esp the second video. They're so dorky, reminds me of Arashi...especially when they started dancing to the Otaku dance (yes, the one featured in AnS!) Yes, and so...they are going to have their own tag in my lj!


Now I finally know why weibo is such a hit. Look at who just joined Weibo:
