I rather like Kamishiraishi Mone as a singer and thought I should check out her shoujo manga dorama Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomade mo.
Basically 5 years ago, Doctor Kenshin seduced a poor high school girl by putting her scarf around her turning her into Kenshin's personal stalker.
Poor underaged girl gets brainwashed into thinking she has found love and spends the next 5 years studying nursing so she can stalk Kenshin. I don't know about you but that looks like someone who has been groomed and is it a coincidence that the mangaka of Rurouni Kenshin is a pedo?
After 5 years, stalker girl turns up in front of Kenshin in the hospital and what does he do? Proceed to bully and powerhara stalker girl by calling her stupid.
In the real world acting like you are too good for your job and bullying your new colleagues is unprofessional but in shoujo dorama land, the heroine, I mean stalker takes the abuse because of love.
Of course, Kenshin has a perfectly reasonable excuse to act like a dick to his stalker nurse and that is Renbutsu Misako.
Kamishiraishi Mone's acting is not too bad.
But I think Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomade mo needs more Katase Nana and Karina.
Its not the worst shoujo dorama not is it the best but I don't think I continue watching I know every beat of the story before watching it and I know who this story is made for.
At the very least, stalker nurse does not act like a 13 year old girl most of the time and some scenes did made me laugh. For fans of shoujo jdoramas only because it doesn't really do anything
particularly well. Maybe I am getting to old for long drawn out shoujo
romance stories and would prefer them as 1 1/2 hour movies.
I think the last shoujo jdorama I enjoyed was Kahogo no Kahoko. Not saying I did not enjoy Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomade mo, its just I feels a bit stale. Hardsubbed files can be gotten from blitz fansubs.
There's a 1080p version w/softsubs on Avistaz (An Incurable Case of Love)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed you watched this. No, I don't think you should continue, cuz it's stupid.

ReplyDeletelol so true. I stopped on episode 3 considering how ridiculous the premise is. However lil Mone performs a lot better in the NHK's newest version of Kaidan Botan Doro.
chain stories has more of karina
