Orthros no Inu, Episode 2

The thing about jdramas is that sometimes it's what you bring to the drama that makes the viewing experience. And sometimes you really don't have to do a thing. Also, "BEST DRAMA EVER" does not usually mean "best" drama, but rather "most entertaining due to X number of factors, including but not limited to unintentional hilarity."

Okay, it's late, I'm tired, the point is, I felt compelled to share a number of insights that I feel really get at the thematic purpose of Orthros no Inu ep 2. Yes, there's the whole bit where the one person who gets killing powers is the one person least likely to use them, the balance of killing and healing, balance balance balance of the forces!, judgment and power over life and death, who should get that power, etc. etc. But otherwise, this is pretty much what the drama looks like in my brain.

Jdramas summary: Ryuzaki Shinji is a mysterious and ambitious man with a wicked heart, who possesses the power to heal pain and illness with the touch of his hand. Aoi Ryosuke, on the other hand, is a high school teacher with a gentle heart, but who has the ability to kill with his touch. The two happen to meet, resulting in a battle of good and evil.

(And there's a fairly badass lady cop, and some other people who run around in lab coats.)

( But they drip so beautifully! )

And I should stop now before I say anything else monumentally stupid. But in other news, I’m reading the manga Skip Beat! and I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
