Marlee87
Sweden
How was the story Marlee87?
I loved it! At first I had this on my on-hold-list for quite some time. But as my love for the amazing man that is Aiba grew, I thought that I had to finish it. And glad I did. As I've written in a comment, the light and the fact that every drink had it's own story and meaning made me love it even more. The story about a struggeling bartender was actually really good. :)
How was the acting/cast then?
Hehe, this is gonna be an easy penalty kick, cause I totally love Aiba Masaki (you will never ever find any other on my ichiban place on my profile) Since I've seen him perform sooo good in My Girl, this one had such high expectations for Aiba-chan's performance :) and I wasn't disapointed at all. Aiba-chan was very good as Sasakura Ryu. He had the calmness that the character requested of him.
Kanjiya Shiori was cute as she always is, and the character reminded me of her other roles. So in all, not bad Kanjiya ^^
And I have to mention the amazing Kaneko Nobuaki, he was sooo good as the silent and competitive Kuzuhara Ryuichi. The first interaction between Aiba's Ryu and Kaneko's Ryuichi was one of my favorite scenes, have rewatched that part alot.
The rest of the cast served their parts well. Nothing more to add there.
Do we need to ask you about the music, Marlee87? ^^
Yes you should, the music was amazing, well at least the ending song which is Arashi's LOTUS. Being a huge Arashian I LOVED THE MUSIC. Sorry, didn't mean to shout that out. ^^ And the background music in the drama did it's part well, good job composer :D
So, how many times have you rewatched it then?
Not THAT much....just 5 or 6 times....give or take ^^ so for ME, the rewatch value is high, but then again, I don't speak on behalf of the entire dramaland community.
Any final words you care to share?
No, just that I really recommend it, Arashian or nonArashian alike will love it, I promise you that!
Thank you for your time :D
Was this review helpful to you?
I really liked this one, and I'm glad that I summoned up the courage to watch it. Since it has the theme of Shounen Ai.
But it was so delicately put in it's story and the actors were superb. I had watched the first one and that was good but since then I think I have matured more to appreciate this kind of stories.
As I said, the actors did a great job. Actually all kinds of first-love experience's makes me happy to watch. And I was happy to see that they brought back one of the mains from the first movie.
I can highly recommend this movie to someone with an open mind cause this made me so calm and moved by the sweet story. Good job scriptwriters and I salute to the ountstanding actors.
Thank you for taking time to read my review, do watch it!

So what did Marlee87 think of this movie?
I really liked it, was roaming around searching for dramas with Kawashima Umika and stumbled over this movie. And I liked it from the beginning.
How was the story then Marlee87? Tell us.
Well, at some points the scary parts wasn't scary at all, but that must be because I've seen to many horror movies in the past but I found the story good, and it got along well :)
How was the actors performances?
Well I mainly watched it because of Kawashima Umika (Falcon's littlesister all grown-up now) and she did well, cute and talented indeed. And Ishiguro Hideo was hot and performed well. The other cast did well, and especially Uehara Takuya as Riku was good (and he looks just like Akanishi Jin).
Do you remember the music, how was that?
Fankly no I don't remember, but it did keep the suspense to the movie.
Will you watch this again Marlee87?
Well DUH I've already watched it five or six times :P So the re-watch value to me is high :)
Overall, what was your opinion?
It was a nice movie, I really liked it. :) So I can highly recommend it :)
(Made some editing, overall grade is 10, it is after all my ichiban Jmovie, and the rewatch value to 9, I've rewatched it more times that I care to admitt ^^)
