Drama Review: Koishite Akuma

So it's been way too long since I did a drama review. And NO it's not because I haven't been watching any (I'm sorry, but I can't survive if I don't have a drama to watch....it's sad...but they keep me happy :D). It's just cause I can't be bothered to write an uber-long post that prolly no one will read. But hey. I still feel bad, so I'm writing this with an English commentary infront of me, waiting to be written.

It shall have to wait!!

Soooooo. Koishite Akuma.

The plot:

A young vampire named Kuromiya Ruka, whose vampy fangs have yet to grow out is sent into the human world to find his 'fated woman' and finally become a full-fledged vamp after he has sucked her blood. He is disguised as a highschool student and thrown into the world of the Homo sapien. At first he is utterly and totally disgusted by this lesser race, and can't bring himself to even think of drinking human blood. And for some reason, he doesn't feel compelled to drink any girl's blood except one. And she just happens to be his highschool English teacher, Natsukawa Makoto. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN.

I won't give anything else away. :D

The verdict:
First of all, I need to get this out there. The lead, Nakayama Yuma looks a lot like Jaejoong from DBSK to me. Okay, not so much now that I have their pics next to each other, but when I first saw Yuma I was like: WOAH IT'S JAEJOONG!!! He's like a kid version...

Jaejoong:

Okay, so anyways, Yuma has the same birthday as my bro, but one year older. I'm used to the male leads that are older than me, so the fact that he is younger is a bit weird....he doesn't look it at all though! I thought he was my age... :S But I think he's a pretty convincing actor. He's a newbie, and he didn't have me cringing, so I'm grateful :D
The female lead Makoto played by Kato Rosa is great. She's really pretty and I recognized her as the love interest in Detroit Metal City (great movie btw).
The supporting cast is great as well. The vice-principle, played by Kyo Nobuo kinda threw me off for a bit because he played the hilarious Oscar in Hana Kimi, but he proved his worth in the end here. He's actually pretty good-looking. Definitely couldn't tell in Hana Kimi hahahaha.
The plot at first seems a bit cliche. I mean haven't we all had enough of vampires after Twilight? And the fact that Kuromiya looked exactly like Makoto's first love made me a bit annoyed at first...these things always happen right? BUT NOOOOO. It all makes sense in the end, and it isn't cliche at all. The plot is actually very good, and the cliffhangers at the end of each episode really get you hooked.

And the end.... oooh the end. I'd already grown to love the characters so much. When it ended, I was like:
NoooOOOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really much better than I'd expected. EVERYONE GO WATCH IT NOOWWWW!!!


Rating: 4/5


(anyone notice how the dramas I've reviewed never go lower than a 4? That's because I won't continue watching it if it is lower than that....it's a waste of time ya know? Maybe I'll review some of the dramas I couldn't bring myself to finish sometime soon)

Ruka <3 Makoto FOREVERRR
