I don’t watch jdramas because I’m superficial, I watch for the compelling (and ridiculous) plots. That being said, I can’t comment anything on these dramas other than – hot, hot, hot boys. So if you want reviews that are coherent and meaningful, go someplace else because this one is about me being shallow.

Okay, I’ll try to do better than that -
 

A year ago today, an obsession was born.

For lack of something to do, I decided to watch the DVD of this TV drama that a friend lent me. He first told me about this two weeks prior on our friend’s house blessing.

Friend: Do you like Japanese shows?
Me: Well, I watch anime.
Friend: Are you familiar with the human tetris?
Me: On youtube? Yeah! I’ve seen those!
Friend: Hilarious, isn’t it?! How about jdramas?
Me: Uh, no…
Friend: Good! I’ll show you something! Tell me if you don’t like it, but really, it’s awesome!

And then he made me watch on a portable player the first few minutes of the drama. It featured this cute girl dressed in a boy’s uniform trying to sneak in at a popular all-boys’ school.

Me: She’s a she, right? What is she doing there???
Friend: *smiles mysteriously*
Me: Right. I’m supposed to watch to figure it out.

I got until the part when the girl met the tall, somewhat arrogant athlete ("she disguised herself as a boy for this guy?!?!") when we were cut off by our friends. He promised to lend me the DVD so I can watch the full season. I was curious enough to find out what happens next so I said yes.

So – a year ago today, I watched. And watched. And watched. And finished all eleven episodes in one day. Didn’t I say that it was the start of an obsession?


By the way, that little drama that changed my life?

It’s 1:45 am here and the festivities has just ended (our place is celebrating the feast of the Sto. Niño). I decided to check the net for a while before I pass out and discovered a pleasant surprise: my first ever lj meme tag! So, I have to answer this first!

1. Where did your LJ handle come from?
mylemonlime? It’s a line from the song “Slo Mo” by the Eraserheads, arguably the most popular rock band in our country and one of my all-time fave artists. The name was… kinda randomly chosen since my first blog’s title also referenced Eheads and I wanted to do that again.
