[Discussion] Sunao ni Narenakute (Ueno Juri, Eita)
Damn, Eita's hair is really going to annoy me if it stays that way. It's like a frizzy mop. Ugh. On the good side, it's looking like he'll be a decent Kitagawa Eriko hero. I didn't watch Last Friends or Nodame, so I unfortunately only have Orange Days to judge him from, and there he played the bumbling friend and nothing more. I didn't know how he'd fare in this sort of blase, too-cool-at-first-but-a-complete-romantic-later-on kind of role, but he's on his way to convincing me. I love how cool he was during the fight in the cafe. It's nice that he's made it through the food chain to hero status, because geez, the poor guy has played Juri's second fiddle enough. Third time around, I'm so glad they finally let him have her. :
As for the story, well, KE dramas usually don't pull me in until about episode 3-4, so I'll be sticking around for that definitive cinch. I'm much less interested in her three supporting characters, for once.

I'm also waiting for the Eng sub first before I can decide whether I like it or not.

I'm not familiar with Japanese rating, is this a good rating?

It's ok i guess, though I was hoping for sth higher since it's the first episode and all (but then again, I haven't watched it, so I can't judge) But as a fan, I won't be bothered about the ratings, I know I'll like it as long as there's Eita-Juri pairing in it.Outside wrote:I'm also waiting for the Eng sub first before I can decide whether I like it or not.

Not that good especially for the first episode. I have to say I'm surprised with the rating. I expected more, around 14-16%Outside wrote:I'm also waiting for the Eng sub first before I can decide whether I like it or not.

I'd rather have lower ratings and a good story vs. higher ratings and a crappy story like what Last Friends turned out to be.

Do you remember how the first version of the relationship chart described Eita's relationship with Juri as one where he seems to lead her on and confuse her? I think we're finally seeing some of that here -- he's really playing a confident sort of character. I don't think he means to lead her on intentionally, but maybe it's just his charisma?
He's playing a character so different from his Last Friends day. But I'm glad to see that Eita can pull it off anyway
Also, at first there were some doubt about where Juri could pull off a character which was supposed to be bumbling and insecure, and boyfriend-less for 24 years, but I think she's done a marvelous job here convincing us of her role. I can't say I love her hairstyle, but you have to admit it's suited for her character.
I'm really curious about the next episode. I do love Eita's bedhead look though, especially at the end of the episode ;)

Is there somewhere we can get the theme song from? It's been stuck in my head and I desperately need it on my iPod.
Forgot to add: I've tried all the normal sites already, and was about to snatch from YouTube when I realized that it can't even be found there -_-"
Also, does anyone know what the song at the end is? The one that plays when Juri goes to Eita's house and sees him with the girl?

yeah that mysterious guy is nakaji's dad. it says so on the relationship chart on the official site so i'm posting this w/o the spoiler tag.
it's interesting how eita's character is such a flirt but, at the same time, somehow he's not a bad guy. audience cant hate him. guess this kind of thing only happens in dramas.

i know this had nth to do with the thread but I just managed to get the file..and the problem is almost everytime I try to play these 1280x760 files, the video kinda lags. I'm using Media player Classic.
are there any other players that might prevent the lagging or it's just coz of my laptop speed not enough or sth...or is there any way to convert the file I DL to something smaller like the usual 720x360 versions. I'd prefer HQ qualities anytime but if it's gonna lag when I'm watching then I'd rather have the smaller version. Coz lagging is so so annoying!~
sorry for this rant, I'm hoping someone can give some opinions? Thanks in advance!!!~ Btw, I don't know why but i like the opening scene, kinda like LF, with that future-past thing.

I think it probably has to do with your CPU and/or video card... You should close any and all other programs that are running to give MPC maximum CPU time...avieamber wrote:i know this had nth to do with the thread but I just managed to get the file..and the problem is almost everytime I try to play these 1280x760 files, the video kinda lags.

I've just upgraded my desktop to a dual core Athlon X2 from a single-core Athlon XP and the videos play without a problem...
omg i know exactly what you're talking aboutgarcon wrote:i really missed them together..i really cried watching the first episode--juri and eita reunited OMG!!!!!! i watched it without subs,even w.o understanding, but i kept smiling coz seeing them together in a drama is more than enough!
this is juri and eita's eighth collaboration together, and i love it
hopefully there are many more to come
yes i hope this is not their last collaboration, hopefully more to come in the future, if not in a drama they should also do another movie together<33
i don't think i would ever get tired of their pairing ever
beside that, the two of them is two of the most versatile actors ever and there is never a trace of past character in their recent acting, everything is the opposite of their past character and they always bring new breath in each character given to them<33
that is why for me their pairing could never get old no matter how many times they paired up because their past character never get in their way to portray new roles and they always give a fresh feeling for each new roles with better chemistry each times

Totally hearing you here. It's amazing how different they are from Takeru and Ruka, and how different they are from their characters in Summer Time Machine Blues! It's really cool watching Eita take the lead now, when he used to just stare at Juri from afar ;) Somehow I like their characters in Summer Time Machine Blues best -- I think it was their first time acting together, and they were just so sweet!Salz wrote:beside that, the two of them is two of the most versatile actors ever and there is never a trace of past character in their recent acting, everything is the opposite of their past character and they always bring new breath in each character given to them<33

Yes! The Calbee CM is damn cute. Also, they never appear together in Orange Days... I went through the whole series for them Summer Time Machine Blues is the first for me!bmwracer wrote:They were both in Orange Days, but I'm not sure if they were ever on screen together... And then there's that Calbee CM...
Also, watching the whole thing with subs makes the episode make a whole lot more coherent sense... I wish Eita's character wouldn't lead Juri on so much. I don't think he means it, either, but...
Btw,

I hope so too But I think other than the few original songs composed for the drama (e.g. Weaver's 'Hard to Say I Love You'), a lot of them are actually songs taken from other places, which will probably not be released again in a CD.L'Arc wrote:I like the BGM in this drama. Hope they include it in the OST.
Perhaps this is the time to pimp the OST compilation project -- or more accurately, BGM compilation ;) So that we can have our own unofficial OST.
In other news, countdown to the next episode: 4 days! Add a day or two for subs.
I thought the first episode was pretty boring actually. But the last time I've seen Ueno Juri's drama was Last Friends and her character here is totally different. She's such a great actress! But I'd love to watch more.
Was anyone else annoyed by the weird boxes transitions thing they do throughout the episode?

Hmm, I wasn't bored in the least, though I thought some of the stuff was rather cliche, like the final scene... There was a lot of stuff going on in the first episode... I hope they'll be able to flesh it all out in 11(?) episodes.Sakuya wrote:I thought the first episode was pretty boring actually.

It was just a stylistic touch by the director....
yeah, there's a lot going on and a lot of unanswered questions from the first episode...bmwracer wrote:Hmm, I wasn't bored in the least, though I thought some of the stuff was rather cliche, like the final scene...

I'm liking it so far. Seems to have good production value, the cast is both good looking and seems to be doing well so far in the acting department too. Of course, it's a joy to watch Eita and Juri-chan together.
The story seems intriguing and keeps you interested. It loosely reminds me of Love Shuffle, but thankfully, it doesn't have its lame humor and general comedic tone it had in the beginning. I didn't like that there. Also, the characters here seem more normal and so do their problems.
The music, as said, is very nice. I reeeeeally want to know what song it was playing at the end of the episodeI do hope they'll make a compilation soundtrack and have all those songs there because they are all very nice.
Can't wait for the next one.

Yeah a lot of expected cliches, but also a lot of mysteries and questions raised. So maybe it will be more interesting than the basic love drama.Sakuya wrote:I thought the first episode was pretty boring actually.
Yeah, I found her acting pretty boring in nodame, but now that was her character in that drama ;) She was very very good in last friends. Hard to recognize her in this drama when one has in mind her last friends role! That's probably what qualifies her as a good actress ;)But the last time I've seen Ueno Juri's drama was Last Friends and her character here is totally different. She's such a great actress!
Yeah I was annoyed! Especially at the very beginning of the episode, I was afraid it would last all the episode long with so many transitions, it was making the screen very hard to understand! But it quiet down after few minutes! So as transition once in a while, it's fine ;)Was anyone else annoyed by the weird boxes transitions thing they do throughout the episode?
I will make it hard for you. Go watch the RAW and wait for the English title shown just before the Japanese title. Then come back here and look for the English subtitles under the English title.Issy wrote:i was going to watch it raw but i just read that sub for ep1 is out but i can't find it. can i get some help please???
OK, the easy way, go to the 1st message of this discussion thread and you should see the English title in the picture.

oh, and i tried to keep up with this thread but with new post poping out every half second, it was proven to be a hard task.

I also found the first episode a bit boring. And the transitions... really annoying! Felt trendy, but unnecessary. But I'll keep watching because I love Eita to bits!
Jaejoong was pretty awkward, but, surprisingly, I found Ueno Juri very awkward, too. I don't think this character suits her, everything just felt so forced. Maybe it will get better once the story develops, and there will be some character development also.
Eita was lovely as usual, but I kind of felt I'd already seen this character. Kind of cool, but conflicted, or something. The character does suit him, tho.

yeah the description 'awkward'... i think haru's meant to be that way... as i recollect how the scriptwriter describes haru to be... juri's acting falls into place....

I feel the same way... The character is such a little wimp... Just like Nishikido Ryo's character in Last Friends.Mugatu wrote: however, the korean guy isn't believable at all.. don't like the character at all.

I do agree with this. I read somewhere that Juri was supposed to play a 24-year-old who'd never had a boyfriend. For someone as adorable as Juri, there were doubts that she would be able to pull it off -- but she did so, marvelously and awkwardly. She makes you believe that she never had a boyfriend before, even though her characters are so lovely.JUYI wrote:yeah the description 'awkward'... i think haru's meant to be that way... as i recollect how the scriptwriter describes haru to be... juri's acting falls into place....
About Jaejoong, for someone who's not a fan, I thought he played his quiet character very well. Or perhaps I'm just biased because his character expressed interest in Juri so quickly, and this only based on their Twitter interactions. I have a weakness for anyone who has a weakness for Juri.

Yeah, hard to believe, but I think Juri-chan played the awkward girl quite well.stolenxkisses wrote:I do agree with this.

and i agree with you guys about jaejoong's acting.
he should just stick with singing and dancing
Yeah, I get that, but that's not the kind of awkward I meant. More like, she was trying very hard, and it just didn't look right to me. It didn't feel natural.JUYI wrote:yeah the description 'awkward'... i think haru's meant to be that way... as i recollect how the scriptwriter describes haru to be... juri's acting falls into place....
