You are beautiful ep 08 review

watch ep 08 viikii

Afterthought

Oh no... I cannot believe T.K actually believed the person M.N like is Shinwoo!! No no No!!!!! T.K, you must rem N.M's odd look at the country side while watching the star right?!! She was staring at you!!!
I was right! Jeremy fell for for M.N!
Jeremy is sooooo sweet to take her out for a spin and cheering her up. I felt so sorry for him in the bus. Strange how I didnt feel sorry for Shinwoo but for Jeremy instead. I felt like petting his head now to console him. I wonder how will jeremy take it when the truth of M.N gender is revealed!

It's also good that this ep cleared up as to why Shinwoo was acting the way he did, so secretive. I like the part where he was telling M.N the story of the clumsy girl infiltrating the group and renactment of how shinwoo has been helping N.M secretly... I esp like the part M.N fell asleep and shinwoo act as her cushion support and covered her face. She is sooo cute there. However I still dont understand why did he think letting M.N know that he knows the truth will hurt the band? Did I misread the situation because I thought Shinwoo already guessed T.K knows the truth of M.N identity? So if he is the 2nd person to know, it wont matter does it? However the highlight for me was the fighting scene for Shinwoo. My god, he looked so suave coming off the bike. That hair style ABSOLUTELY suit him. That is one of the best look on him to date.

The whole love thingie is getting juicier! M.N likes T.K, Shinwoo and Jeremy likes M.N, best of all T.K hasnt realised he is slowly falling for M.N. He gets jealous without even realising! haaa
The expression where he had to save her each time is priceless!

I found it so funny the way T.K call "Go Mi Nam" each time like he was addressing some pet. And he even nickname her pig face rabbit. Sooo funny.

The part where T.K "forced" M.N to confess the truth to Shinwoo in the room, to the part where he stood at the stairs wondering where she went, did anyone notice how his hairstyle changes from the straight hair to a bit of wave? LoL.

Everything T.K did pertaining to M.N is hilarious, from hunting her down, to making fun of her as the future wife with her bro's best friend, and to the part where he knock her down and threw leaves at her. Did he realise that he only laugh when he is with M.N? No one else has done that to him I think.

I didnt like M.N's aunt but I cannot believe TK's mum is the worst and such a biatch!!!
She even forgot T.K's birthday and to say such cruel things to him on that day makes it unforgiveable! How can any mother tell a child he is unwanted because she is in love with someone else (M.N's dad)? OMG, I hope T.K wont hate M.N for it (because of her dad that he was abandoned by the mum...)

Now that M.N knows his deep dark secret...what will happen next? When M.N did the pig nose at T.K at the MV scene, will the manager know the truth then about who she actually likes?!
A long week of agony of waiting for next ep!!! *Weeeping*

Man! This drama just keep getting better and better!!

You are Beautiful ep07 Review: About T.K Kiss scene....

OMG!! I am sooo freaking happy!

I couldnt wait for the sub and watched the first few mins of korean raw version for "YAB" ep 07. Had to pester my korean friend to explain the scene to me...NOW I know why he had to close his eyes and put his hands on her head.

Spoiler (Dont read on if you dont want to know before the sub is out)

He didnt kiss her!!! It was all his plot to mislead the media! The fake fairy is hopping mad! haaaahaaaa!! I was grinning sooooo hard! Way to go Tae Kyung! I am sooo glad he didnt have to "Sell" himself to help out Mi nam, well, not physically at least only his reputation.

In the room, T.K coolly sat opposite fake fairy while she went raving mad. She demanded what was all that publicity stunt about and T.K replied that he was merely going along with her "request" about fake relationship. T.K then asked her that she wasnt really thinking he was actually going to kiss her did she? Fake fairy paused for a second (since she prob did want him too! haaa) As the bickering went on, the fake fairy told T.K that he should behave himself and also not to tell anyone else the truth for now since he is now her "bf", otherwise, she may expose Minam due to her "heartbreak". T.K smirked and told Fake fairy she really need to impart her "fraud" skills to him. Fake fairy then demanded T.K to send her home since she is "shock" by his public move (kiss). T.K chuckled said he will certainly go home (by himself) and since she is such a "KIND" person, she will understand. With that T.K walked off. Fake fairy wanted to have another last scream at him but ended up having her foor trapped inside the empty tissue box. As she cools down, she muttered to herself that she didnt want a fake relationship, she was being serious...


Ok. that was all i have for now. However the whole episode is really really excellent!!!
It is simply hilarious! T.K is really awesome here. So coool! I love his expression andthe twitch of his eyebrows when he thinks Fake fairy was being childish. Funny!) Even at the mountain when he thought there was scary rabbit was sooo cute. I like how Minam twitched her nose like a rabbit when T.K said he is afriad of rabbits. She is sooo adorable!!

When she started to cry as she "confessed" her liking using stars as a shield and T.K turned around, I didnt know if he did see her tears...did he suspect? And at the ending, did he really know if M.N was crying for him and not shin woo? Oh god, this is getting sooo juicy!!!!! Please please please dont let Shinwoo mislead T.K about the situation.... and is Jermey falling for M.N too?!! OMG this is soo exicting!! I can hardly breathe!!!

And the pig scene...hell who can forget that! haaaa

Tokyo Dogs Ep2 Summary
The episode starts with recap from last episode where the kidnapper rather shot himself to death.

The new scene opens with So (Shun Oguri) and Maruo (M. Hiro) staking out and "bickering" at a roof top. Maruo was about to head off with the "compulsory search" at the opposite hotel room, but So complained Maruo is so disorganised without any proper planning. So questioned if they should just barged into the room, what should they do if the people in the hotel room possess firearms? So went on with his argument that the girls will be trapped as hostages and a possible shootout may occur with an (unseasoned) bad guy... Maruo couldnt take it anymore. He grumbled outloud that So should stop with his unceasing preaching as they are "killing" him. Maruo further explained that the "dating" scene differs from the "prostitution" scene in states. So retorted Maruo is so naive and the only reason they are here to investigate was due to sources linking the hotel with the secret organisation, so anything could happen.

Maruo then questioned what has So prepared, in which So whipped out a "can bomb" for the door entrance destroy any burglar alarm! Maruo was horrified at the mention of "bomb". "Are you an idiot?! This is Tokyo here!" and he tried to returned the can back to So. So explained the can is to assure the safety of the girls in the room and take control while everyone is caught by surprise. So started to head off but Maruo ended up dragging him to stop him, declaring he (M) cannot do it. So told Maruo that his indecisiveness and lack of action proves Maruo is not suited
to be a cop.

"Just like earlier when choosing a bento, you had to take sooooo long!" So stated flatly.
"Hey the sweet and sour pork may be good but the gyozai bento also looked good! It is perfectly normal for one to be undecided in such moment!" Maruo quickly retorted back.
"Yeah but you kept on endlessly whining 'It's awlful! It's awlful!' about the gyozai! Hadnt the store auntie recommended the sweet and sour pork right from the start?! The SIGNATURE DISH is the sweet and sour pork afterall!!!" So instantly fired back at Maruo.
"But my stomach exists for gyozai!!" Maruo pleaded in defence.
"There is no such thing as a stomach existing only for gyozai. If u had wished to eat the gyozai sooo much, you could have just ordered a SINGLE SEPARATE ITEM in the set!" So told Maruo off and walked off.

"SOOO.. was the sweet and sour pork good then?" Maruo asked in defeat.
So turned around and after a paused replied flatly "It's only average"
"Ahhhh if its only average, then stop yakking on as if its so damn great!" Maruo yelled in frustration. So in panic hushed Maruo not to be sooo loud. Maruo gave another yell instead!
[side note: sooo funny! this scene had me laughing so hard!]

As they approach the room, So tell Maruo to be quiet and muttered "so annoying/ noisy". Just when So was going to use the can bomb, Maruo stopped him and whispered "Just use this will do" refering to a key. "you are such an idiot" Maruo said as he shoved So to one side while opening the door. It ended the room had some weapons and So told maruo to take the girls away into custody, but Maruo was already "floating in air" after the girls complimented he is soo cool.

Next scene, Yuki and the guys were packing apartment.
"Say, are we going to move each time when the hideout is exposed?" Yuki asked. "Yeah I suppose so." Maruo replied. Yuki complained its such a hassle but Maruo replied isnt it good (a luxury) to move to different apartments? So entered the scene and rigidly interrupted "This is for your safety" and walked off with a box. Maruo's ex partner said seeing familiar things will aid her memory recovery but Yuki said its all maruo's stuff. Then, Yuki was shock to learn that she will be staying with the guys! So replied yup as it is for foolproof safety.

"how can it be safe?! There is nothing safe about living in the same apartment with 2 men!!" yuki protested.
"Huh? Dangerous?" So was puzzled.
At that point, Yuki turned to see Hiro in a pose stance and turned to stick out his tongue, before wagging it quickly. Yuki screamed as she was horrified! Hiro laughed and assured her he was just kidding around. The other girl said it didnt look like a teasing expression at all. At that, maruo continued with a new scenario in the bathroom. "Imagine the bathroom door opens, and yuki was in the middle of the shower, and while I want to peek, yuki will scream 'ahhhhhh, dont look!!!' and I will want to peek but yuki will spray the shower at me." Yuki laughed at the joke and utter a name. At which So rushed out and said "Doraemon! You remembered?" Yuki said she knew. So started questioning her all the characters and common lines (while maruo was poking fun at his excessive serious expression at the side) but she couldnt rem the last. So was disappointed as he revealed the answer. Maruo commented "Who on earth will know..."

Back in office. Their boss informed them of a new case.
A lawyer was fired with 3 shots at his home entrance but a failed attempt on his life. So commented that it is common for lawyers to invite grudges and hence a death attempt. The female colleague agreed and said this lawyer indeed has been "enemies" due to wrongful cases. One of the male colleagues expressed his unhappiness for the divorced lawyer to leave his young son late at nite alone at home, saying its unforgivable. the boss interrupted and said investigation should commence before the lawyer gets murdered and become too late.

At the lawyer's place, maruo was trying to sweettalk and placate the little boy to a safehouse, but So was hurrying him on without care. Maruo pulled So to one side, telling him "Dont you understand, I am trying to make the boy feel good." So reprimand him instead saying his style will hinder the safety of the transfer. maruo retorted that was just a boy! So turned to the boy and told him to listen up. "You may be a child but also a family member. Your father was being shot at, and its reasonable that u will be targeted at. So u should evaluate your current situation and make a decision.." Maruo tried to interrupt his speech being too adult but So brushed Maruo off and said firmly to the shocked boy "Do u want to die by staying here to play game?" The older cop came over to defuse the tension and tried to cheer the boy up, much to the annoyance of So. Before departing, So said he had to go somewhere else and wont join them. the old cop advised it is better So shouldnt go anywhere dangerous alone. So replied he will be fine.
So ended up in a bar to "return the photos and the badge" and won a fight. After he left, the bad guys commented he is strong.

Maruo brought the little boy back home to the safehouse. Yuki promised to care for him
On way home from office, Maruo was complaining about the lawyer being a bad father, he might as well be shot to death. So stopped in his track and seriously told Maruo never to repeat that sentence. maruo said he was only joking and split off for dating meeting, leaving So to care for the boy.
At home, So noticed the bruise marks on the boy and asked if he was being bullied..and thus hate going to school The little boy asked if he could stay there but So said impossible. The boy said he can change school and if he can change his name. So asked why does he need to change his name and if he detest his father. The boy replied "If papa is not papa, I will not be treated as the child of a bad lawyer." "You cannot run. No matter, papa will always be your papa. Always will be." As So walked away, the boy wondered aloud what should he do then. So replied "Fight them. Fight to win." With that, So went into combat instruction mode and got so engrossed that he forgot he was coaching the little boy. As he simulate the bashing the pot, the boy looked at him in schock..(so farnee how So goes overboard!) With that, he changed his approach...

back in laywer office, Maruo started hitting on the secretary (Mauo flirting is hilarious!) So noticed something is amissed and discovered the lawyer made a secret escape. So spotted the assassin and foil the attempt. Halfway chasing the assasin, So received another call from his mum asking what fish should she buy! So suggested Nemo! (I cannot believe he can still entertain his mum! haaa)

The assassin grabbed a pedestrian as hostage. So complained about Maruo being lousy and preaching at him if he has never learn from his past assignments. Maruo said rather than learning, he based it on his his instinct/intuition. So retorted "So you lost your instincts just Like the case of the bento?!!!" "Alright I get it!!! Next time I will buy the sweet and sour pork and the gyozai separately yah!!!!SO WHICH ONE IS BETTER?!" Maruo retorted back. The assassin was thrown off guard by the bickering and yelled at them to shut up, and hand over the gun. As he stepped backwards, he tripped. Both cops made a jump kick at the bad guy, each yelling out the bento to buy next time! As So was hitting the bad guy, he voiced out "Idiot! A shop that make such bad gyozai cannot have chinese food!" Maruo informed that the old grandpa was originally a chinese restaurant owner...So was stunned and another bad guy appeared. Both got away...

At safehome, Yuki found out the little boy had won the gold award for his art work which will be showcase in the school's Bunka (cultural)festival the next day.

back at his mum's place, So ended up fixing the fish tank. The sister and mum gleefully informed him that it will be his responsibility to come change the water since they had stench. So muttered "hence I am the expert in fixing bad smell huh..." Just then, the sister's bf appeared and said "I'm back home!" So perked up at that greeting and muttered to himself "Did that guy just said he's back home???!!!" As he continue to observe the 2, he said to himself "They are not even married!" With that, So yelled "Wei!!" startling them...(I nearly died from laughing. So is sooo adoringly traditional! haaa)

So went back to safehome and Maruo happily leaked that Yuki will be getting a parttime job. Yuki tried convincing So and grabbed his back as she continue to plea with him. Instinctively, So threw Yuki onto the ground!!! Yuki started to "cry" saying she is only a girl!! maruo grabbed her hands wanting to comfort her but Yuki instantly stopped her whining and warned Maruo not to take advantage of her (molest her hands)

Another attempt was made on the lawyer's life. So revealed the suspected mastermind is the lawyer longterm client but the lawyer disbelieved it. Maruo received a call saying the boy has gone missing. So said he could be in danger since the bad guys will now changed target after several failed attempt at the father. With that, they all rushed to the school to save the boy!

After the ordeal, both father and son was saved. The lawyer decided to put his work aside for a while and take his son travellin. As father and son was boarding the ambulance, the boy ran back to So and told him that he will not run away anymore. "Papa will always be papa. And I will also protect papa." When they left, Yuki then revealed she had a flashback that she had a gun pointed at her. That was the only thing she remembered.

At the rooftop, So's boss asked if So was a little envious of the little boy and father. So replied yes. "if possible, i can always give u a hug" His boss joked with So and So politely declined.

Yuki started her parttime job as a waitress. So and Maruo passed off as her brothers.
However, unknown to them Yuki's new colleague Yoshimu is also part of the secret society! While maruo was more concerned that Yuki might end up dating her new colleague but So seemed more concerned about something else as he stared at the new stranger.

Afterthoughts

My goodness, this episode is also pretty hilarious. I love the chemistry between So and Maruo! Esp the part where they are constantly bickering about non essential things!! Sorry if the humor is lost in my translation. if u dont find it amusing, its prob more of my fault because It's really funny if u understand japanese, you will burst out laughing instantly as you see their reactions and expression during their banter.

I like Yuki. Apart from being pretty, she is very very cute. The last time I saw her was in the Love change drama but her character there was darker. Here She is bright and cheery and very likeable!

Again sorry I took so long to summarise as I juggle with my time allocation... not to mention being caught up with YAB ep 7...So for those who read till here. Thanks again for your support and patience! Hope u enjoyed Tokyo Dogs Ep02 as much as I did!

waiting patienty still for YAB...

Waiting patiently for latest YAB subbed episode to be released..sigh. Read that the subbers are deliberately delaying the ep7 release because they wanted to "prove" someone has stolen their subs. There is sooo much "fire" going on in viikii about someone stealing their subs, it was like "wow!! what did i step into kinda atmosphere..."

Reading though all the posts and comments, I felt the whole thing seem to be tipping over. Much that I appreciate the subbers' hardwork and understand their frustrations over the "theft", the whole affair has become pretty scary...While I personally would also be dismayed if anyone else "steals" my summaries and passing it off as theirs, yet I dont think I will get so fired up since none of us actually owned the copyright to the videos technically speaking. I just feel that we are lucky to even get to watch the raws online with no repercussions...

For me, I figured we took it upon ourselves with all the subbing and translations at our own expense and time because we wanted to share the drama with the rest, and not because we want to be popular on the internet. So if that was the "good" intention to being with, I just thought there really is no need to get so upset since people who like the site will always return to the original site... perhaps I am seeing it all too simply and missing something important here.

If anyone should really be upset, I reckon the Korean production house are the only entitled ones since all these internet streaming with subs actually potentially eat into their overseas media sales... The celebs wont be too bothered since they just get more popular from greater exposure. *chuckles*

Well, thankfully I just stick to doing summaries from raw videos. At least I will never be embroiled in those tussles and I dont have to ever feel guilty about uploading a video which isnt mine (legally owning the original vcd does not equate the right to upload it in public channels).

And now we understand why Microsoft and Record companies are pissed abt all the piracy and clamming it down so hard. It's the same theory isnt it? People "stealing" their work....and the copyright owners starts to get vindictive...What happen to "sharing" without care? Sigh...

K-Drama + K-Music: "You are beautiful" is great! the OST is fantastic too!

Due to all the recommendation here about the ongoing korean drama "you are beautiful", I gave it a shot..and the verdict is...I love it too!!! It is certainly a must watch. Thanks to all who had told me to watch it!

In fact, the first 2 episodes had me laughing so hard, esp the part where she had to spit the saliva to try to put out the candle. It was hilarious. That wasnt the only funny bits but that had rather tickled me for good minutes!

Initially, I thought they could have chosen a cuter lead Hwang Tae Kyung for the band. At certain angles, I didnt think he was that good looking and thought he was really too "slim". He looked even skinner than me with that skiiny jeans! However, he quickly proved to become rather endearing as the plot deepens and his character evolves with less snarl and scowl. The part where he was insisting he paid 100000won was so funny too. So indignant! haaaa haaa. Plus, he actually doesnt look that bad after they got rid of the awlful fringe and minimise the dark eye liner. The only thing I think that can further improve is to rid that pouting lips thingie when he is annoyed...hmmm..I think that "look" doesnt quite suit him.

If I were to pick my fav eye candy, I definitely would go for Kang Shin Woo, though I think they make him out to be kinda wuss. I mean if he likes the girl, just go for it. Why does he have to be so "in the background" and acting all so pathetic. I suppose he is suppose to come off looking romantic and die hard nice guy but somehow, it doesnt do it for me. I mean in reality, if I have a guy friend like that, I will tell him he is acting like a loser since the girl isnt attached to anyone. Why did he hesitate so much esp since he guessed that Tae Kyung already knows the true gender of Mi Nam. The scene where he was secretly tailing Mi Nam and helping her out was little "stalker creepy" for me. I think his greatest flaw in this character is precisely lacking in character to date. He needs to be more of a man. Tae Kyung might appear an asshole at the date but people can associate with it because he displays his personality, fiesty yet warm hearted underneath.Shin woo thus pales in comparison...does a guy like him even exists?

I am sooo dying to watch epi 7 now. I cannot believe Tae Kyung kissed that blackmailer!!! And he even closed his eyes!! My god! I thought he was doing it for Minam but why on earth he looked as if he was sooo into it and enjoying the moment....ahhhhh!

At this point, I will leave you with my favourite OST track below. If you like some others, check out the playlist on the right panel.

Am back!

Hey folks!

Sorry for the long silence. Apart from busy with the shift, I went off to Maldive for a long holiday. Yep...a holiday to die for... :P

It was fabulous without doubt, a piece of paradise on earth. I spent so much time out in the sea that I actually got a mild burnt on my arms despite slapping on tons of sunblock. It only took 2 hrs to do the damage.... I forgot to wear a cap and so my scalp had to pay for it being dull lobster red now... However, it was a lovely experience and the night snorkelling was marvellous. Some fishes were amazingly bold and keep coming right at me. I didnt want them too close as I wasnt sure if my sunblock in the sea would do them anygood at close distance...Maybe I worry too much....

I havent offload my pixs as yet since I just returned, give me some time to settle and I shall try to share my picture perfect hols with u guys.

Meanwhile, I watched Tokyo Dogs episode one and I really liked it. Some parts had me laughing quite a bit when Oguri had to deal with his mum calling him each time in the middle of a case. His expression was quite funny. I am not sure if I will ever get use to Hiro with that "nasty" vagabond beard... Somehow it looks kinda weird on his boyish face (in my opinion at least). However, I see a potentially comical pair and the chemistry should work well if the script is good. I am looking forward to episode 2 already!

Nothing new...

In case u are wondering the silence shrouding here, with absolutely no updates. Well, am busy moving out to another rented apartment and up to my eyeballs trying to sort the move. I hate movin, its a nitemare! Oh okay, back to ringing local movers for quotes.

Meanwhile, let's all await the screening of Tokyo Dogs on 19th Oct. It's a "good and lousy cop partnership" kind of plot. Kinda remind me of the Taiwanese drama Black and White but of course the plot is different. [read drama wiki for more]

J-Drama Overview: Love Shuffle

I have holed up at home the last few days catching up on this drama "Love Shuffle" telecast earlier this year. I just thought it might be something interestin to fill up my time after Buzzer Beat is over. The series turned out to be rather ok really. It's not wow excellent but its kinda entertaining in its own ways with funny bits throughout.



The drama revolves around the "love philosophy" amongst the four lead characters who happened to be neighbors, living on the top most floors of an expensive residential building. One is a male psychologist Yukichi, a successful photographer Ojiro, an IT manager Usami kei, and lastly a female foreign languages translator Aizawa Airu.

The plot starts off simple.

3 Months before their wedding ceremony, Kei was dumped by his gf Mei without a reason. All she did was repeatedly apologising without further elaborations despite Kei's pleas to change. Mei is the daughter and fav child of a wealthy businessman who owns the company that Kei is working. In fact, Kei less than ideal academic records would not have warrant him his current position if it wasnt for the fact his gf is Mei. Thinking that the cancellation of the marriage would also means the lost of his expensive flat and job left Kei totally demoralised in addition to losing to the love of his life Mei.



That night, as Kei stepped dejectedly into the lift with 3 other people, a power breakout suddenly stopped the lift in midway. The 4 started talking after realising they are all neighbors and started self introduction. By chance, they found out about Kei's misfortune in love when his ring box fell out. At the same time, Ai realised she had to pee desperately and the guys all convinced her to pee in the paper cup, while attempting to do so themselves to make it less awkward for her. Just when she was about to relent, the lights and power resumed and saved! From there, they decidedly became friends and often had gatherings at the common corridor area together.

During their conversations, everyone revealed bits and pieces of problems faced in their complex lovelife. In the course of conversation, someone said "Parting ways is easy, but it will only be a matter of time before you fall for someone else, but the feeling will gradually diminish again, hence, it is nothing but a cycle of repetition."

At that point (and on the pretext of helping Kei with Mei), the game "love shuffle" was born. The objective was to exchange their current partners, with the idea of finding out if their current partner is worthy of love, or a new lover will really be better.


The following nite, the 4 lead characters invited their partners to a gathering, after explaining the concept of love shuffle. At the start, Kei was opposed to the idea but he invited Mei anycase since he assumed she would also declined. Airu invited her stalker bf Reiko, Yukichi invited his young patient Kairi who insisted on killing herself by her 20th birthday, and Ojiro invited the older married woman Masato whom he is having an affair with.

This is where the fun begins. To kei's shock, Mei actually agreed to the game. The only person who didnt turn up was the doctor's patient who had once again committed suicide. The doctor persuade her to join the game as he wanted her to gain the will and courage to live from the experience. Oji withheld the info that his partner is a married woman, and the doctor also witheld the fact kairi is his patient and not gf.

Kei was still reluctant about the preposterous idea despite Mei's willingness to be involve. Ai revealed Mei's sharing that Kei has lost his shine over the years after working for her dad, and playfully pretended to throw the ring into the pool. However, the ring was indeed thrown in by accident and kei dived in without hesitation and with that renewed his determination to play the game seriously so as to regain mei's positive view in him.

Hence the game begins based on a shuffle of card (which really was determined by the doctor) and the cross matching begins.


The drama continues showing how the different people remains unaffected or were affected throughout the different combination. Personally, Kei's character really shine through and one begins to understand what Mei had meant about Kei not fulfilling his full potential if he continues to be with her, and thus her decision to end the relationship despite loving him greatly.

The show is not heavy at all, and definitely not preachy about love. It doesnt get messy or entangled but executed in a light hearted manner which can be easily identifiable for all. As the story progress, more mysteries would also starts to unravel affecting their behaviour. Can kairi really see god of death, does the doctor have ulterior motive? Will Kei finally reunite with Mei or will they go speerate ways? Why Ai isnt able to wholeheartly love someone? It's a pretty interesting show. You wont really be roooting for particularly anyone, but you will have your fav However, you will go away feeling satisfied with a smile on your face after the show ends.
