dorama : Akumu Chan

These couple months I've watched a japanese drama (again). And I was hooked instantly for the main cast who are extremely famous there, Keiko Kitagawa and ... GACKT! Yes GACKT! I will say 2012 was such a busy year for GACKT since his projects -Yellow Fried Chickenz and Camui Gakuen- had bloody schedules this year. Plus, it remarked as a comeback for Keiko Kitagawa-san starring a drama again (I think). Special!

THE CHARACTERS?

THE PLOT?

The story focused on a transferred student named Kotou Yuiko who frequently had nightmare and the worse was that nightmare became reality sooner or later. She later asked Ayami, her homeroom teacher, to help her by interpreting every single nightmare she had and avoid it became reality. Ayami who lost her past memories, finally realized that she had the same ability, a secret which had been buried by Yuiko's grandfather. In the other hand, an ambitious professor Shiki Takashi tried to get closer to Ayami as her lover to prove the existence of prophetic dreams.

First episode, the story was quite epic. The main idea -dream (or should I say nightmare)- was interesting too. I think Kitagawa-san danced in Cinderella-like clothes with prince-suited Gackt was also a bonus lol. Child actress Manatsu Kimura who starred the main role as Yuiko also showed us a stunning act. This first episode was addictive enough. You've been warned!

The next 4 episodes were like ummm... it's okay to watch. But the story was kinda boring actually since it was only a repetition from the previous episodes. There were no 'new dream interpreted in a new way'. There were no scenes which made me scream like "Kyaaaa~ GACKT and Keiko!"  Okay, I know it's not pure a romance drama lol damn fangirling.

They're cute together :3

What next? I didn't get the computer graphics. The graphics annoyed me A LOT.  It should be more realistic. Anyhow, there were poor made, lack of impression.

But, started at episode 7, suddenly the plot changed. The story was more intense, more serious, darker, and more dynamic. It really played our emotions. The main background why Yuiko asked help to Ayami and why Ayami changed into a psychopath woman gradually appeared. Yet, the main reason of Shiki Takashi approching Ayami was still unraveled until episode 10. And I couldn't judge whether Shiki Takashi was a real villain or just a mad ambitious scientist. I hope the second one *cough*.

Overall, the entire show is soooooo great. Great casts, great story, and multiple twists. What a fun mix : suspense, sci-fi, comedy, school life, and romance. That's what I look for a drama. LOVE IT!

*Akumu-chan should have an SP episode -or 10 minutes longer final episode-*

Happy family (?)

23rd 007

I googled this movie poster
I don't own this

201

Woohoo akhirnya nonton Skyfall juga setelah beberapa minggu diputer di bioskop.

Sayangnya saya nonton ini pas barengan premiernya film vampir itu tuuuuh *cough* Breaking Dawn *cough* and it made me so annoyed because that movie made the queue became so damn long. 

Dan saya baru dapet tiket setelah 1 jam antre bersama penonton pilem itu (nggak mau sebut judul). Pertanyaannya, kenapa antrean Skyfall dan pilem itu nggak dipisah aja? Dan jeng jeng jeng setelah masuk,yang keisi di dalem studio cuma separo. God sake, I'VE WAITED FOR THOSE EFFIN TICKETS FOR AN HOUR!  *Capslock jebol* Deep breathe, exhale.

Di sela-sela beli tiket, disempetin foto dulu hahaha
Thanks Tara!

Satu tiket buat Cyntia, Satu buat Tara, dan terakhir buat saya

Skyfall  adalah sekuel ke 23 dan bertepatan dengan peringatan 50 tahunnya seri spionase ini. Dari 23 film 007, Daniel Craig sudah memerankan 3 di antaranya : Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, dan Skyfall sendiri. Buat saya, semuanya bagus sih.. Cuma mungkin Casino Royale lebih mantep daripada 2 lainnya. Kenapa? Di Skyfall, Craig keliatan udah tuwir (I'm Brosnan-centric)  dan the most important partnya peran Bond's girl di sini kurang dominan, nggak seperti di Casino Royale atau malah The World is not Enough yang jelas-jelas si cewek adalah villainnya. Padahal di Skyfall, ceweknya ada 2 lho!

Yaaa kemungkinan besar yang ingin ditonjolkan dari 007 kali ini adalah match antara Bond vs Silva vs M. Silva is the main antagonist here and AN EX-AGENT WHO WORKED FOR M! That's a lil spoiler! Selain itu, peran M di sini sangat dominan dan pada akhirnya, M akan diganti dengan 'M' baru. Hahahahaha. Go catch the closest cinema to watch this wicked movie!

Time to hit the bed, guys!

dorama : Rich Man, Poor Woman

"We live in an era where illustrious universities are not rewarded.

She is the living example of our educational's system failure... or rather a victim.

She has been studying as she was told yet she grown to be a redundant person,"

-Toru Hyuga-

No, no. It's not Kamen Rider, dudes!

This  drama aired this month in Japanese TV and successfully  impressed me on its first episode. The story is very easy, as easy as Cinderella story. And yes, it is definitely a Cinderella story with her left shoes LOL!

Meet Toru Hyuga :

Toru Hyuga (Shun Oguri) adalah seorang CEO Perusahaan IT yang sedang naik daun, Next Innovation. He will beat you up, since he's only 29! Dalm usianya yang masih begitu muda, penghasilannya sudah mencapai ribuan dollar dari usahanya. Namun, di balik 'kesangaran' si Hyuga Toru, ternyata ia hanya lulusan SMP plus NGGAK KULIAH! Dan... dia juga punya penyakit aneh bernama maaf saya lupa namanya :D yang menyebabkan dia nggak bisa menghafal nama maupun wajah seseorang. Pikun kali ya?!

A board in the company  represents each employer's dream

Meet Sawaki Chihiro :

A girl with jumbo memory storage on her mind. A common and modest student who always fails at job hunting. Tapi jangan salah, dia adalah 1 dari sekian orang yang pintar dan beruntung masuk ke Todai. Sawaki Chihiro (Satomi Ishihara) iseng-iseng mendaftar ke Next Innovation dan tak disangka-sangka TETAP GAGAL. Namun, nama Sawaki Chihiro berhasil membuat Toru Hyuga selalu mengingatnya -sebuah hal yang tidak mungkin terjadi pada Toru Hyuga-. Dan karena satu hal itulah, Toru Hyuga 'menyewa' Chihiro untuk melancarkan usahanya.

Apa yang menyebabkan Toru Hyuga mampu mengingat nama 'Sawaki Chihiro'? 

Apakah benar Sawaki Chihiro adalah 'Sawaki Chihiro'? 

Huhuhu mending capcus aja liat dorama ini!

P.S.

Chihiro's shoes left in Hyuga's car.
Pretty similar with Cinderella story :3
