Sunao ni Narenakute / Hard to say I love you

Gotta say, I only downloaded this because of Eita and Ueno Juri (whom I both LOVE ♥ ) and I didn’t even know that DBSK’s hero was in it, but anyways, this drama is REALLY GOOD! I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loved Last Friends and Love Shuffle *A*!!! Only up to ep 3 but I’m already hooked~~~

Let’s see.. synopsis from drama wiki:
This is a story about the blossoming friendship of five young people who were brought together by Twitter, and their journey to finding honesty with each other and with themselves

The twitter theme didn’t interest me at first – but twitter is really just a tool for bringing them together. I can see why they used twitter since when you’re online, you can be a different persona. I think it’s like you can express a lot of who you are but at the same time not revealing anything about yourself. (if that makes sense) which leads to the theme of becoming honest and opening up to each other and themselves. Well it’s something that people can relate to I think, when I look at online communities like deviantart or livejournal~

Theme song: Beautiful Days by Arashi — I really like it T_T

Let me just say, the main reason I am watching this is due to the cast: Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi) and Nishikido Ryo (NEWS, Kanjani8). When I read the synopsis, I was expecting something dark like Maou from last season. (the plot sounded so similar, the whole revenge thing) but after watching the first ep, I was quite surprised…
