Today, I didn't do anything productive at all. I just spend all day in front of my PC watching Koishite Akuma a.k.a Vampire Boy. It has 10 episodes overall and I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the plot, cast and everything about the drama. The plot of the story revolves around Kuromiya Ruka played by Nakayama Yuma who is a teenage vampire who has never had any taste of human blood before since he became a vampire. So, his "boss" or the one who turned him into a vampire Kaito (Kondo Masahiko) sent him to live with a human family and went to a school where he met Natsukawa Makoto played by Kato Rosa.
The story begins when Kuromiya tried to adjust his life and attempted to suck a human for blood but he failed on several occassions due to various reasons, his fangs didn't come out and such. It's funny though. After a while, the story gets complicated as Natsukawa tried to teach him about life and high school which didn't interest Kuroyama and they started to develop feelings for each other which is forbidden between a teacher and a student. For the rest of the story, you can watch it yourself. I'm not gonna spoil it here.
I'm really surprised and impressed with Nakayama because he's so into his character as a cold-blooded yet confused vampire and he really nailed it! Considering he's only 16 (he was born on 1994 if I'm not mistaken) and it's his first debut drama. Actually, I heard of him as he's a part of Johnny's idol but I don't really pay any attention to him. But this drama really opened my eyes and he's really talented. The intense glare he always had in the drama, the emotions, the confusion and the character was so well portrayed. Even sometimes I think he's a matured man rather than a young boy. Woot~
And in the drama, he's also playing the role of Natsukawa's first love who was supposed to have died 10 years ago after he tried to save a child who was drowning in the sea, but Kaito saved him by turning him into a vampire after Kaito found him being swept away by the wave.
Usually, I felt a bit yucky if the main leads romance are like in this drama, where the actress is way older than the actor but this couple really get my approval. Kato Rosa is a 1985's while Nakayama is 1994. So by that huge age gap, it's easier for a drama couple to be yucky than sweet. But since Kato Rosa looks so cute and pretty, and she doesn't look her age, she managed to match Nakayama and they look so cute on screen together! Either that or Nakayama is a bit matured for his age. Just look at his face and listen to his deep and masculine voice! It doesn't really matter to me though, coz I like both of them ^^
I really love how their relationship develops and the twist in the middle of the drama when Natsukawa found out that Kuromiya was indeed her lost first love and all the mushy sweet scenes they had together. And there was a bittersweet kiss scene too, at the end of the drama. The kiss was so unexpected and sudden but I like how Kuromiya pulled Natsukawa into a hug as she cried because he refused to drink her blood and his time was running out. He even called her a crybaby before he pulled her closer to him and kissed her. I practically screamed when I saw him kissed her, as if I was the lady actress. The kiss was so short but it was well-done. Nakayama didn't have the awkwardness when he kissed her like in most Jdrama and he knew how to get the right angle as well as where to put his hand. Unlike Yamapi's kiss in Proposal Daisakusen. It was so fake that I didn't even feel a bit of jealousy. Honest!
All I can say about this Nakayama boy is that he really could make me feel like I was Natsukawa and I saw him as man instead of a boy, unlike when I watch Yamada Ryosuke or Chinen Yuri in a drama, no matter how mature they tried to act. Bravo Nakayama! You really did well for this drama.
And one thing that disturb me a little is that in certain scenes, Nakayama resembled Jaejoong. I'm pretty sure they have a very different faces but there are some similarities about them, especially when Nakayama made intense or angry faces and when he's wet. Don't believe me? Take a look and be a judge for yourself.
I like stories of forbidden love like this one and it wasn't easy to make it sweet yet not so common or typical. I even shed
One thing I dislike about this drama is the ending. I NEVER like unhappy ending! =( No matter how common is the ending, I want a happy one! Too bad that Kuromiya disappeared because he never did drink the blood of the woman he loved. Tragic T.T
For me, this one is so much better than Dating on Earth, because I don't like the the actress and secondly, they edited out the Dong Bang boys too much!!
And lastly, my favourite scene of the drama..keke
So sweet yet sad at the same time. Look at the angle and the firmness of the kiss. Nakayama really is good at kissing.
Okay, that's all my ranting for today.
Until then,
I'll be back~
