During the Easter holidays I have watched two Japanese dramas I had heard to be very dark and depressing, but I found to be very life-affirming: "Ryusei no Kizuna" and "Last Friends". Both dramas are now in my list of favourites and both confirmed my lately developed love for Japanese dramas.
"Ryusei no Kizuna" : a story of three children whose parents were murdered. I loved this quirky dark drama, and all it's inhabitants. I am really interested now in the works of Higashino Keigo, the screenwriter that also wrote the script for "Galileo". I have already got his "Byakuyako", but the work demands caught up with me and I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
"Last Friends": a story of group of friends, each affected by some of the most difficult problems of our society: child abuse, prejudice, domestic violence. The only big minus for me was that I started this drama as the result of my watching "Ryusei no Kizuna", when I wanted to see more of gorgeous-looking Nishikido Ryo. But it happened that in "Last Friends" Nishikido Ryo played evil Oikawa Sosuke, the character that I wanted to murder with my own hands. The story also left me with a question - do they not have any Police in Japan? Why someone can just go around, beating and raping his girlfriend and other people and WHERE IS THE POLICE? Where are the domestic violence shelters, etc. etc? Why does everyone has to be so powerless agianst one single tyrant?
And!!! I have been watching Asian dramas for quite a while now, I have seen many weird clothes and many weird haircuts. I have even become un-sensitized to weird haircuts. Until I saw Eita (playing Mizushima Takeru) with what has to be the worst haircut of the century.
See: The worst haircut in the history of ever.
( Horror. Oh horror. I really would have liked to meet the person responsible: )
