SmiLe =)

Okay.. so I know I'm the middle of my finals that has a specific for it, by the way; Intermediate MB... I really shouldn't be updating my blog on a new drama... but i will!!! coz I'm dat excited about it~ As my title implies, the new drama is called: SMILE, starring none other than Matusumoto Jun!!

I've nvr really been a MatsuJun fan but I am a Hana Yori Dango fan.. and the main reason why I'm excited about this drama is that it's a serious drama attempting to tackle on the issue of 'racism'.. From what I've heard so far, he plays a half-Filipino half-Japanese whose everyday life is a struggle against racism and oppression. No more is he playing a pretty boy character who gets the girl in the end by being a jerk who turns out to have a soft spot on the inside (where have we heard THAT before?)~ And the icing on the cake? Well, the fact that the Japanese crowd is furious about the drama making the Japanese people "look" bad is enough reason for me to want to watch it!! A drama with a purpose, who doesn't love one of those?? I'm proud of MatsuJun for taking on a Tagalog-speaking oppressed orphan, shows that he can play deeper roles =)
