IM GOING TO CRY (bara no nai hanaya, 2008)

[idleminds]

Hi! What's your favourite slice of life + romance dramas?

Some of my all-time faves: - Nagareboshi - Bara no Nai Hanaya - Chugakusei Nikki - Kimi no Te ga Sasayaite Iru - Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu - Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni Recent fave: Nagatan to Aoto

Ooooof. The way he is so emotionally naked about his desperation - this is a man with zero pride but also very little self-worth tbh. Life has beaten him down to such an extent, he really does not expect anything good as his due. He drifts through life as a ghost - between his mother and his girlfriend both betraying him/never putting him first and nobody else doing it either, he’s pretty given up on mattering. I think a lot of his quiet stems from this - think of the scene we first meet him, where he lets a seller berate him over her own misunderstanding - like he doesn’t even expect anything else or better so why spend energy standing up for himself?

Even our avenger is noticing how messed up it all is. But the kicker is, she does betray him, she does join forces to wreck his company.

I know I said it before, but does anything of this sounds like the man who took your money and laughed all the way to the bank? Use your brain not just to carry your hair around, girl!

This bit, when he sees her go into a place and follows. Awwwww.

He is totally incapable of deceit, isn’t he? Honestly, the emotional power disparity is beginning to make me think of Bara No Nai Hanaya, which was a very different show, but where I also wanted to shake the FL and go wtf why the hell are you set on wrecking an utterly decent, completely vulnerable dude WAKE UPPPPPP

He is so desperate for connection he’s jumping at the slightest demonstration of concern (her protecting him earlier) but also paradoxically it’s easier for him to open up because she doesn’t truly care so there isn’t more connection than he’s cautiously comfortable with.

shingo gets so many roles that are father/mother/mentor/protector figures of kids not biologically related to his character

hito ni yasashiku, the shingo mama dramas, ninxnin, bara no nai hanaya, the saiyuki movie, kasuka na kanojo, issenchoen no minoshirokin, stranger, kusoyaro to utsukushiki no sekai, nagimachi...

the logic is probably that everyone likes seeing him with kids, but they also want him to seem available, so he can't have had a hand in making said kids? maybe?

can you recommend me your top 5 (or 10 if that's too little) wholesome family dramas? i need a pick me up and those would most definitely be of help

ooooh no problem

eunjoo's room (not exactly a family drama but the family dynamics in this show.. chefs kiss)

lunch queen (family restaurant run by brothers and a woman who is looking for The omurice)

virgin road (weird name but it's about fake relationship meant to cover the female lead got preggers by dude who dumped her; it's a rollercoaster of emotions type of drama)

suekko chounan ane sannin (30yo woman lies about her age, 25yo man falls in love with her, they get married but he doesn't know her real age and then she has to deal with mother-in-love and sisters-in-law)

a poem a day (hospital drama, not a family one but it's cute.. despite pacing issues)

marriage not dating (comedy more than a romance but it was fun to watch when it aired, i haven't really rewatched it to see of it holds up but the mother in law - female lead dynamic is something else)

uchi no musume wa, kareshi ga dekinai!! (romance novel writer is in a slump and her otaku daughter becomes her next project to get inspiration.. sounds weird but the last 3 episodes.. 10/10 love the dynamic between daughter and the dude she ends up with)

mukodono 2001 (idol with cool imaga, who is actually bit of a himbo, gets married in secret, tries to win his wife's family and avoid people finding out about his marriage)

otousan (4 adult daughters get mad at their father because he wants to get married again)

bara no nai hanaya (this one made me cry™)

good news (single mother and a younger dude)

tonbi (same as above)

oh, dad! (another one about a father, this time dude loves to lecture others)

yasuko to kenji (troublemaker brother settles down to take care of his sister and becomes shoujo mangaka)

Matsuda Seiko Lyrics: Tongariyane no Hanaya-san (とんがり屋根の花屋さん; The Flower Shop with the Pointed Roof)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

I want some blue roses tonight Yeah, some that are a lighter blue than my tears With a bunch of baby’s breath I don’t need a ribbon

Write my name on the card 'Cause today’s the anniversary of when he dumped me We came here a long time ago There were two of us then

There’s a stray white cat on the street It’s got such a lonely look in its eye

If I say “Here, kitty!” and wave my hand, it’ll run away We’re a lot alike

Let the lovers who seem to get along well Pick out their flowers before me I don’t mind going after them I don’t have anyone waiting on me

All of a sudden it started raining I’d like to stay and wait out the rain for a little while But they’re going to be closing soon What an unlucky Wednesday

There’s a stray white cat on the street It looks up at the sky and rubs its eye

Do you have a home to go home to? You don’t? You’ll catch a cold if you get wet

There’s a stray white cat on the street I wanna pick it up and bring it home with me, but...

If I say “Here, kitty!” and wave my hand, it’ll run away We’re a lot alike

“The Northern Wind can embrace you freely, but if the Sun gets too close, you might get burnt. Since you’ll be burned, no matter how much the Sun likes you, he can’t go closer. He can only let people say how warm he is from afar. That’s the only thing he can do.”

I just finished watching the Rurouni Kenshin movies, loved them, and want to tentatively dip my toes into some jdrama (i love both cdramas and kdramas). Any suggestions? I like historical stuff, action, romance, anything that doesn't end too tragically.

Those movies were awesome!!!

Pls keep in mind I largely peaced out of jdramas about a while ago so except Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru (heroine wants to solve who framed her mother so gets a job at the traditional bean dessert place where the murder happened and gets involved with the haunted young heir to the business. Mmmm) all my recs are going to be a few years old.

Also I am gonna leave out all the dramas with bad endings or dramas like teacher-student and other problematic things since I don’t know your no gos. (Between those two factors a lot of my faves are out :)) Without further ado a sampler of my faves:

Aishteru to Itte Kure - I made a rec post on this recently. A love story between an aspiring actress and a deaf/mute painter. It’s probably one of my favorite love stories.

Bara No Nai Hanaya - our hero is a gentle florist with a small daughter who is generally kind and helpful to everyone. One day he helps a blind woman and they slowly fall in love. Little does he know this is the start of a horrific plan to ruin him. (I promise, happy ending!)

Buzzer Beat - a young musician and a basketball player fall in love. This is just sweet.

Haha Yori Dango - jdramas do Boys Over Flowers. This is, hands down, my favorite adaptation and the only one except the 2001 Taiwanese one that does not pull punches that its ML is a psycho. It has a certain manga kooky vibe at the start but even if it’s not your thing I rec pushing through because there is a magic moment I started being so invested it’s unreal. The two leads have crazy chemistry and the rumor is were together for ages in RL. I have a tag for the drama.

Innocent Love - sometimes you just want a melo with excellent actors. True love and angst!!! I was obsessed enough with Kitagawa Yujin - ML actor - at the time it aired I went and listened to a ton of J-folk rock (he’s a member of duo Yuzu.)

Itoshi Kimi E - the gorgeous gorgeous Fujiki Naohito is a photographer who finds he’s slowly going blind but also falls in love with a nurse. God, this drama!

Love Shuffle - the story of a bunch of dwellers of a fancy apartment who all decide to go on blind dates with each other. It’s sharp and moving and I either love or find interesting all of them but I remember going FERAL for the burned out war photographer x suicidal artist obsessed with death. Even thinking of them right now is giving me a hit of serotonin.

Otomen - sometimes I like fluff about wholesome people! The love story of a seemingly macho boy who secretly loves cooking and knitting and all girly things and a tomboy girl. It’s both a lovely love story and a great take of being loved for who you are not who you are expected to be.

Pin to Kona - the world of kabuki! Also if you’ve ever wanted the secondary guy to be the lead and get the girl, come right in! Heroine has been obsessed with kabuki since childhood. Hero is the heir of ancient kabuki family who has issues thanks to his father (who needs a small stab.) He falls in love with her kindness and becomes a wonderful friend but all she can think of is her scheming first love who wants to be n1 in kabuki world. This is love and a lot of kabuki stuff to boot!

Pride - a tough, don’t believe in love hockey captain falls for a salarywoman who is waiting for her boyfriend who went abroad to work. Doesn’t sound like much, but was an insane hit and is my n1. Jdrama of all time.

Smile - a mute girl and a half-Filipino worker fall in love. They are both outcasts from society (her due to her disability, him due to not being pure blood Japanese) but they find happiness. Which is shattered when he is put on trial for murder.

Tatta Hitotsu No Koi - I love this drama so much!!! A poor young man x a rich sheltered young woman who recovered from cancer. (I promise happy ending!!!) It’s so tender and wistful and angsty and just!!!

Anyway gonna stop but hope one of these is your bag!

1. Avoid toxic friend, people who don’t care and who spread negative vibe. Đã leave group, delete , mute và block. Vui hơn, nhẹ nhõm hơn. Sẽ bớt liên lạc nhau. Dạo này facebook tòan nhảm.

2. Tuệ và inner peace. Đọc sách nhiều hơn, tìm những gì làm mình cảm thấy bình yên, calm thì follow nó. Bây giờ đang nghe OST Bara no nai hanaya, nghe tự nhiên thấy lòng mềm và thảnh thơi hơn hẳn.

3. Em về quê, mai em mới vào. Phải nhắn tin và gọi để nghe gịong em mới chịu. Chiều nhà mất điện trời tối thui ra đường hóng gío thì gặp mưa. Trời mưa thành phố cứ rả rích và bẩn bẩn không như mưa ở quê mình ngày xưa, vui lắm và trong veo đến nỗi tắm rồi lon ton lấy xô hứng uống luôn.
