I want to sign up for RMSE, but my writer’s block right now seems to extend to writing exchange letters, too. :) I want to request two new fandoms and my mind goes completely blank every time I try to think up prompts. I also worry that I won’t have anyone to write for. I still have a few days to make up my mind, so we’ll see.
I finished Not Me. It was a very good drama – well written, well directed and very well acted. I’m especially impressed with Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat. He was great here. I’m thinking about trying one of his other dramas later. Maybe Theory of Love? But first KinnPorsche. And then Why R U for Zee Pruk. And then two Japanese BL dramas, because I find it so amusing that three main actors from Kamen Rider Build went and did BL dramas later. Inukai Atsuhiro of course did A Man Who Defies the World of BL. And Kei x Yaku if you count it as BL. And then Akaso Eiji (who was so wonderful and funny and cute as Banjou Ryuga) did Cherry Magic, which I previously wasn’t interested in, but now I am. And Takeda Kouhei (Sawatari Kazumi) did Old Fashioned Cupcake, which will premiere in June. This drama has a trailer released by Rakuten TV channel on Youtube, so it will most likely be on VIKI. The trailer is here. It looks sweet (pun intended :)).
I also would like to say that Kamen Rider Build itself was very shippy. And I ship Kiryu Sento/Banjou Ryuga hard. They are a great example of antagonists (or at least guys who don’t like each other much at first) to best friends, who love each other and motivate each other, and inspire each other to be a better person. It’s seriously so touching and adorable. As soon as I have a bit more time (maybe on weekend) I plan to dive into AO3 and read some fanfic.
And one more things – a fascinating article on MyDramaList about the processes and techniques of forensic art in the drama Under the Skin. And if you watched it and thought that what Shen Yi did in the drama was exaggerated or impossible – it wasn’t. It’s based on real accomplishments of real life police profilers and portrait artists in China.
