Love Shuffle 2-10! the end. There are some slow parts to this, but the characters are likable enough to watch. Through the first full shuffle, we get to learn some of their past relationship angst. Airu had a twin that died young. The doc had a lover that committed suicide. His current patient is suicidal. The goody-goody goes to the extreme when he likes someone. Usami is a boring guy unless he is challenged by a game. The older woman is married. Not sure if all the initial casual sex is healthy entertainment, but hey, whatever. This thrives on silly word plays and japanese pop cultural jokes but the subbers have translated the references so the illiterate can enjoy the dorkiness. The twist in episode 6 is pretty funny which leads to the ending twist which is a pretty decent climax. This has some terribly cheesy moments, but it is mostly light-hearted entertainment. It is one of those dramas where people's lives are changed by their meeting of other people. If you are a Tamaki Hiroshi fan or Matsuda Shota fan, this also has some fanservice. ~7/10 rating~ As the title suggests, the couples do conveniently shuffle.

Tuck, tuck

Boys Before Flowers 11! too sleepy to watch both episodes today. In episode 11, the lack of food makes Jan-di do very lame things. Um...wasn't that pro photo just as racy as the photos in the beginning? The actor playing Ha-je was pretty stiff. And do guys in their twenties usually tuck each other in? haha. Fodder for fanfics..ya.

And a forgotten post~

Love Shuffle 1! jdrama. This is like a long 'Friends' episode written by Doumyouji Tsukasa, but not totally in a bad way. Four people who live in the top floor of the same apartment complex get stuck in elevator one day. They get talking about relationships, and decide to play a 'love shuffle' game. They decide to switch partners once a week to see whether their original relationships will survive or if they'll find new love.

Characters ~ Tamaki Hiroshi plays the 'shining knight' who gets the rich girl and thus, high positioned job early in his career. Matsuda Shota plays the playboy photographer with a married woman as a lover. Karina plays the rich girl with a goody-goody boyfriend. Tanihara Shosuke plays the psychologist with a troublesome patient.

Quick impression ~ This is pretty amusing due to fan-favorite actors and some corny humor. There's plenty of 'dumb' word jokes and the characters are interesting enough to be curious about who they'll end up with. Tamaki Hiroshi and Karina's characters look like they'll end up together since they seem the most like 'friends'.
