the cutest j-drama couple ever:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
shuji: if i make this shot, then please be my girlfriend.
it's true i dont have an income.
But...i want you to properly acknowledge me as your boyfriend.
mai: okay.
shuji: *shoots the basketball. it swerves nicely into the hoop.*
shuji: *jumps around in a frenzy*
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
mai: *jumps around in a frenzy*
YOU DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and, in the middle of the basketball court, they proceed HUG EACH OTHER LIKE IDIOTS. [how cute is that]

mai: *contentedly enveloped in shuji's hug*
*shyly*
Hey! stop that in a place like this.
you're still a freeloader.
shuji: *immediately lets go of her like a hot potato*
i'm sorry.
mai: *frustrated*
Don't let me go!! >______<
shuji: Eh? ????
mai: *abashed*
i was lying....
Unkind words like those are just my peculiar habit of hiding my embarrassment.
you need to hurry up and recognise that.
shuji: *confused*
is that right?
Then you meant...?
mai: *embarrassed*
'i love you,' like that...
when you're facing me and looking at me, i'm not good at saying i love you.
When a junior like you is around me, the boy has to be good at leading.
*looks down at her feet*
shuji: *hugs mai*
shuji:*smiling*
i love you... Mai san.
mai:*smiles contentedly*
yeah.
Me too. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
i was watching ep 8 of buzzer beater and though kitagawa keiko and yamashita tomohisa are helming the female and male lead respectively [considering they are like A list young actors/actresses to watch], in terms of storyline and character development i haven't really been drawn into their characters/relationship much, and it's been a little bland.
the supporting characters, on the other hand, have been giving me much to look forward to. kanjiya shiori and mizobata junpei have been doing a spectacular job of playing the role of mai and shuji respectively.

i know the storyline/dialogue is kind of cheesy and predictable but you HAVE to watch them act it out; they are so incredibly cute! >________________<
and i do agree that sometimes it's so hard to always be honest!
that's why girls/women lie [sometimes only, okay]
