we might have lost Sumire in 2017 but instead we got a more complex, ambitious and profound Momo, as a pet he didn't just depend on her but he also understood her feelings, did everything he could to protected her, make her happy; as an artist/dancer, he knew how to translate his feelings, emotions into dance moves and he was determined to following his dream. I personally think his character was better written in the remake.
Firstly, as one of the comment below said, just Shison Jun's performance as Momo/Takeshi alone (in both acting and dancing) is enough for anyone to give this drama a try. He did a freaking good job here and i don't think he got enough credit for it.
Here are some reasons for you to start watching this version (no spoilers): - Shison Jun - Lighthearted rom-com with high value of healing (especially Momo x Sumire's parts) - The cuteness that might wake your maternal instinct (https://youtu.be/6OqOCvOisGE) - Great chemistry between the 2 leads. - Shison Jun's dancing scenes and practice scenes - Some of the best kisses and warmest hugs you've seen in J-drama in recent years. - Do you believe in destiny? Or have a soft spot for fated romance? This drama's for you. - And last but not least, Shison Jun.
I've watched both versions of the drama, the 2017 one first and then the 2003 later and honestly i enjoyed the 2017 more. It's true that the 2003 one got a more badass and superior Sumire, but aside from that i still prefer the 2017 one.
idk i just love watching him, there’s something about the way he acts makes me feel like he’s always giving his best, even for the tiniest roles. Looking forward to seeing more complex characters from him.
I like Sakaguchi Kentaro, I really do. Believe me, he was one of the reasons I started watching this movie. Yes,…
thank you for sharing your story, that was really touching. i can only wish i could have a soul mate like that at some point in my life. i'm glad to hear that you're now happy and know how to appreciate this underrated movie. i can't believe that it's been 2 years since i first watched it, i still think about it sometimes.
did you seed it??i know this comment was 2 years ago but trying my luck loli literally can't find it anywhere
i stopped seeding months ago i think, my laptop was running out of space so i had to move the files to an external drive. when i stopped there were at least 2 seeders available if i rmb correctly, too bad it's dead now. let me see if i can get it back to seeding again.
having had bad experiences with Japanese wlw (GL) themed dramas/movies before, i was skeptical when i started this movie. i'm so glad this was good. i loved it and i'm willing to watch it many more times. gosh, what a beautiful day to be a bisexual.
i don't remember how i found this movie but i quite enjoyed it. don't believe the 'horror' in the genres, there's nothing horror about it. don't watch it as a pinku film to satisfy your needs and don't take it too serious either. the premise is nothing new (it's a bit like Split (2017)) and it's just a low-budget movie but it was entertaining enough for me. tbh i started watching it because i was interested in the 'lesbian' mentioned in the synopsis, and she didn't disappoint. i rated it 7.5/10. oh and maybe i'm wrong but i don't think men would like this movie lol
This movie is like the Japanese version of My Fair Lady (1964) with a lot of Japanese traditional and cultural elements. I got a chance to see it in the Japan Festival Movie Week in my country, it was a fun watch and Mone was truly the light of the movie.
I'd add 'musical' to the genres since there's quite a lot of singing. If you're interested in Japanese culture and language, give this movie a chance. I recommend watching 'Shall We Dance?' (1996, same director) before this one though (but not necessarily) because there's a few cute references of Shall We Dance that they put in Lady Maiko.
are you the user that put up the request on avistaz? i'm trying to gather more bonus points to vote up that request…
yeah it was me that fulfilled the request. i got the permission from the subber themselves to reupload the subs on avistaz and i used all the reward points (and some of mine) to get an avistaz invitation for the subber as a thank you ^^
