I admit, when I heard of the news that my favourite manga/anime was going to be turned into a live-action, I wasn't exactly thrilled. Look what happened to Paradise Kiss! Sure it was fluffy, but the content and depth of the story was gone. But well Ouran isn't exactly full of depth and content, but certain elements are still important, for instance Tamaki's concept of "family" and the deep "family" feelings that the hosts possess. And when the news was out, I was thinking "No one can play the role of hunny-senpai, no one will be as lovely as Tamaki, no one can portray the twins' devious-ness..." Yamamoto Yusuke didn't look the part of Tamaki (but played it well), the choice for hunny-senpai and mori totally crushed me; mori is supposed to be tall, dark and handsome, while hunny-senpai is supposed to be totally adorable ;_;
But... this drama turned out surprisingly nice! I must say, I WORSHIP DAITO SHUNSUKE. Is there even a better choice for someone else to play the role of Kyoya in this drama?!?!?!?! Daito was so... cool. suave. so dreamy x___x (especially in the bed scene KYAAAA) The twins had the look of devious-ness, while haruhi (played by kawaguchi haruna) was alright (much better than maeda atsuko in hana kimi remake). At least her cross-dressing didn't make me want to kill her and rip off her wig -_-
Whoops have I fangirled too much? I apologise. But isn't the point of Ouran fangirling? Yes it is. WELL ALRIGHT this concludes the review! This live-action didn't make me cringe, it didn't make me yearn for SOME characters (ohhh hunny T_T), and it has succeeded in making me anticipate the movie!! NICHKHUN AS A PRINCE, ANYONE? :>
