Nino’s new drama!

OMGOMG. I’ve seriously been hoping for this since like… YTM.

I mean, the one minute cameo in Maou didn’t cut it for me. GOD I’M SO HAPPY!

A rumor came around about a drama starring him and Ryo, and it’s TRUE! Announced in today’s paper (at least, today in Japan?), it’s called Ryuusei no Kizuna/Meteor Bonds (sounds like Meteor Garden O_O). I think I should go buy that paper.

Right after it was confirmed, I read something about them being sibling swindlers. Swindlers? I don’t want another Kurosagi. But thanks to this wonderful translation, it’s all been cleared up to me. I’m still kind of wondering why Nino is the older brother, but oh well. He and Ryo are both a bit short, but Nino looks younger. I’m confident that he can pull off a mature role, though.

Oh, and Toda Erika is in it too! As their sister. I, personally, love her, so I’m glad she’s in this drama. I think she’d go well as a couple with either Ryo or Nino (who in my opinion don’t work as brothers at all), but the more single Nino, the better.

ASKSAGHJKDG I’M SO EXCITED!!!! It should be SUPER GOOD. The plot sounds excellent, perfectly dramatic for my tastes. And three GREAT actors. Ahhh, amazing. It’s in the same timeslot as Maou, so I hope it doesn’t suffer in the ratings as much.

Maou episode 1

Okay, so I’m 4 days late. I was going to watch it when it aired, but in my timezone, that would be 6 AM. So I set my alarm, but when it went off, I just thought, “NUOOOO. MORE SLEEP PLZzzzz”

So yesterday, I finally downloaded and watched it.

IT

IS

AMAZING.

Just by reading the plot summary on DramaWiki, I could understand most of what went on. The one for Mawang made more sense to me than the one for Maou, though.

Read on for screencaps~ (and MANY MANY SPOILERS!)
