finally, i'm back to watching my korean, taiwanese and japanese dramas... after being so busy with the program transfer, phone lab and certification, and playing with my pet bianca in pet society.. hahaha :D
i actually have a lot lined up since i've missed watching for quite a while... dvds have piled up in my rack, so i decided to start watching one. japanese dramas, being the shortest compared to korean and taiwanese dramas, i thought will be the best option to start with since i've just gotten back... so i won't immediately be stressed to do a long marathon... kind of an adjustment... hehehe :D

so i started off with the japanese drama "FIRST KISS" which stars Inoue Mao who was also the lead star in hanayori dango 1 & 2 (makino tsukushi). here's the synopsis i got from dramawiki:
"A bitter-sweet and uplifting comedy drama about a young girl Mio and her brother Kazuki. To treat her illness overseas, Mio has been living away from her older brother Kazuki for the past ten years. After learning about the upcoming surgery, which she has only a fifty percent chance of survival, Mio decides to fly back to Japan to spend time with Kazuki. Looking forward to seeing his sweet younger sister, Kazuki anxiously awaits Mio's return in Japan. However, their reunion is nothing but full of surprises as Mio has transformed from the innocent sickly girl Kazuki remembers from ten years ago into a sassy woman with an attitude. Kazuki has difficulty dealing with his wickedly selfish younger sister, but soon learns about the truth of her medical condition and has a change of heart..."

for me, after watching the entire drama which consisted of only 11 episodes (typical for japanese soaps), i can say it's funny and heart warming... but compared to the other korean and tawanese dramas i've seen, it's just a so-so... well, i'm not a big fan of japanese dramas (no offense to all the others who are... peace to y'all!). i did love watching hanayori dango, but i loved meteor garden more... hehe :D
this is basically about a 20year-old japanese girl,in los angeles named Mio, who was diagnosed to have a heart complication so she needs to undergo an operation with only 50% chance of survival. having this, she decided to go back to japan first to see her brother and create beautiful summer memories before undergoing the operation. this sweet young sickly girl 10 years ago then turned out to be a sassy girl with an outrageously wicked attitude... her brother, after learning her medical condition, wanted to create the most wonderful summer vacation for his sister by finding her a special someone (or a boyfriend, so to say...). but this girl who saw her life already ending, didn't want to find this love anymore since it's gonna end soon as well so why the hell even start it, she thought. but she had this doctor, Yuki, with whom she was so irritated and annoyed at first... only to find out later that she has been caught by her own heart and has been falling deeply in love with him. having a relation with a patient created a huge problem for the doctor since their head doctor prohibits having such relations between patients and doctors... Mio had to give him up because she didn't want him to give up his dreams for her... but this cute doctor didn't agree in ending their relationship, he'd rather resign and transfer to another hospital than leave Mio... but with the help of his mentor doctor, Takagi, he succeeded assisting in a major operation that lead him to staying still in the hospital and still have a relationship with Mio at the same time. Mio then went back to los angeles with the promise of going back to japan after successfully undergoing the operation.
that's it... a little short right? if i were the director, i could have shown a scene after the operation where Yuki went to US to make sure he's the first one Mio sees after the operation. then after, there should have been several sweet and romantic scenes of Mio and Yuki travelling to different places in the US. this is why i'm saying that this is just a so-so drama... besides being so short, it lacks several romantic scenes mostly found in korean and taiwanese dramas.
but if there's one thing that i liked most in this drama... it would have to be the cute doctor Yuki as portrayed by Hiraoka Yuta! i liked him a lot! hahaha he's soooo cute infairness! i think i'm gonna check more of his dramas in the coming days... hehehehe :)
oh, by the way, today is nick carter's 29th bday... time really flies so fast huh? i still remember the first time i saw him in MTV when i was still in high school... back in my teenie bopper days... hahaha he's just a thin blond teenager boy singing "quit playin' games with my heart"... now he's all grown up... actually, he's getting a little old, next year he's already 30..
well i guess we all are getting older and older as days pass by... who's getting younger anyway? nobody right?
