Pride

I've been meaning to post this earlier. But the fever & flu I had after watching Pride (non-stop) forced me to put it on-hold. Internet connection at home had gone since last Friday which leave me with no choice ..aiseh.. but to watch the piling up list in my must-watch dramas, and I started with Pride.

I actually get to know this drama from Redge. But waiting for it to be fully downloaded online was a torture. Luckily my sister had the drama in HD. xoxox!!!

While watching it, the memory of watching The Mighty Ducks during high school came back to mind. Feeling the tense, the anxiety, the rush of adrenalin.. not forgetting sharing the joy when "they" won. hahaha... I actually clapped my hands in front of the monitor. My sister said that Japanese are best at faking things nicely. They can make you believe that they are really into that thing. (yes.. a good drama is when I'm fooled completely... hahaa!!) Now, can you imagine the members of the Blue Scorpions to be NOT great on ice? Of course NOT. Just look how gracefully they moved on the ice.

Not forgetting Halu.. xoxox!! How can I not love Halu/ KimuTaku? Even his smirk in this drama can melt my heart.. hahaha!!! Like I told Rin-chan, "Kimutaku sangat bergaya"!! And Aki was a great heroin too. I fell for their love chemistry and I'm liking it a lot. Another great thing about the drama was the theme song-I was born to love you by Queen. wahh!!! Love it! Love it! I rarely stick watching the opening song (usually skip the intro and forwarding it) but different case with Pride. The intro was a welcome sight for me. The song along with the clips... never bored with it (yet). It clicked! \(^o^)/

A few scenes were memorable but definetily we love the ending ね?The finale was the greatest.

Well, I know that I'm lagged off about this drama compare to others since its not the latest drama around. But hey! I'm glad I watched it.

***Now, did anyone noticed that a drama about ice hockey also airing at Astro recently? Not sure if its a remake or just taking the same idea. Its either Chinese or Taiwanese.. saw the ad only but it look like.. hmmm.. *smirk*. Let just say I'm not foolled. o my, I am so mean. hehehe... happy days!!

래씨, glad u've finished watching Pride. Yes, Halu-san so bergaya. As I've said over & over again, Pride is my most fave Kimutaku's drama. And I loved all 4 main male characters - Halu, Yamato, Tomo and of course Makoto.

"We gonna win! win! win! Blue Scorpions.."

I beg to differ with your statement saying you 'lagged off' in watching Pride. No such thing k. And I mean that in a very good way.

Pride to me is that type of drama that will always stay 'contemporary'. Despite being produced and aired in 2004, I really think it will still be able to hold people's interest even if they've started watching it only now or next year and years after that. That's how much faith and love I have for Pride: for its' casts, plot, music background and everything! It's the best character of KimuTaku so far - and this is personal choice really.

Mind you, I've just spread the Haru love to my cuzee Debra and her best friend Vivee. *giggles*

And Rae, that KimuTaku smirk *kyaaa!!!* I'm so loving it as well. It's his signature expression really. He gives that smirk in every one of his drama.

Glad you loved it. I knew you would from the very beginning.

Yokata Rae. Here's hoping and praying on your behalf that your otooto can help you with the dl. Don't forget to finish watching Atashinchi no Danshi k? Hehe.

I'll be watching "who's your partner" - all thanks to Rina-chan's influence. We are such a drama junkie oh kan? *sigh*

finished with Atashinchi. i'm happy with the ending (yup esp d ending between Sho and Chisato). and am so happy with those "good people" who made tremendously efforts to make a download link at mediafire and megaupload (since waiting for it to upload partly can be a tortured to me). hehhe..
