For the first time, watched a complete 
kimura drama serial..
haha. yup 7 years late to catch on to one of the most popular 
japanese romance tear 
jerker - Beautiful Life.
so far, i have never managed to watch 
thru long vacation, love gen,pride, engine, good luck etc....usually just the first and last part. usually the middle is so slow ya.
its the same for beautiful life...starts off real well, real slow in the the centre and then the finale.
only 11 episodes and i completed within 2 
nites. its really quite a good script.....heart warming, quite good character development, and sub plots. it 
wasnt just a romance story where u have a ill fated match and girl struck with terminal illness. but rather 
thru the show, get to understand the difficulties of a disabled person in every day life. simple things like steps, toilet, food,cinemas, fun places...are big difficulties. and u really need some concerned and nice 
pple around to help. not easy to face life that positively without a loving and supportive environment.
the gal 
kyoko is lucky.,.....nice family and all......and then comes along 
shuai ge shuji.
its touching that he is able to make her beautiful, happy and smile like she 
hasnt done for a long time. he even 
tahan all her negative moods and inferior complex. but one will wonder if he really really was in love with her. he seem so cool and spaced out most of the show. he did like her but somehow i feel part of him being with her like some kind of sympathy. maybe he did have "barrier-free" heart.
kyoko is a lively and lovable character and 
shuji is a cool guy......in the show of course, they love each other a lot, but i think the chemistry between the 2 actors was bad. i would think they are not on good terms when the cameras stopped rolling!! 
haha. dunno 
leh, them as a couple not every convincing. they did act very well through....just lacked some positive chemistry. but then who cares when 
kimura acts.....the show can be dull as paint dry but fans just need to 
oggle at him enough. i think he and that gal in Pride was quite good together. maybe she got his wife's type of look? more longish face?
hmm..... i 
didnt cry buckets at the end but i liked the ending of the salon at the sea. so nice 
lah. its like dream come true. i did tear a bit though some bits. the opening number is well done too where shows her running in a happy dreamy perfect life 
scenario.
wonder why the big hype when this was out? heard that 
pple started buying 
shuji's yamaha bike model and gasp!! some couples even bought wheel chairs so the 
gf can sit on it!!! talk about role play man.......well...thats Japan...whatever u fantasize of, just do it!
talk about fantasy......i have 
attched a few videos of my beloved 
Kuromi san. no wonder she HATES 
melo so much! 
Melo is a complete airhead!! ...ahh....the cartoons are 
soooo kawaii.
poor 
kuromi, she is something like the 
coyote in roadrunner  :(
