Tego & Pi

I watched Yamanade and Code Blue just now. But wow, totally 2 different feelings. Which is obvious anyway.

Kame is acting, but still, not really impressive. Probably "Kyouhei" is really an aggressive character. Or probably Yamanade is really too exaggerating. Well. But I love Tego! *laughs* To be frank, I can't help but take notice of Uchi, and no matter how hard I try, I'm still not liking him. Not hating, but can't get to like him. Well. Let's see how it goes.

Yuki no Jo is cute!!! The end.

Code Blue 3. Not a subbed version, but thanks to my 2 yrs+ of learning Japanese, and watching experiences of dramas, I could barely understand the easy terms. *laughs* Alright spoilers ahead!

*spoilers*
Firstly, Aizawa was questioning about the mystery guy, and the death of his mom. To my expectations, that guy was indeed related to Aizawa, which is his father. But not much of a surprise since I've guessed it already.

Then the doctors got a call for helicopter, and it was an accident in the railway station which has 22 injuries. Or more than that. Either 20 or 40, can't remember the number suddenly. But I remember 22 if I'm not wrong. Then they set off with many doctors. One funny scene which I was really amused was, the doctor from the heart/head department didn't know how to take off the safety belt of the helicopter. So the helicopter arrived, and the nurses ran out, then you see someone struggling. *laughs*

Then very much expected, or I think it was Tachibana who asked Aizawa to follow him.. They went ahead to help 3 persons who got "skewered" together by a ski. On a staircase by the way. Mitsui, Tachibana, Aizawa, Head/Heart department doctor. 4 doctors. Hiyama was with a case, but not much of details taken note of because I can't exactly understand Japanese medical terms. As for Shiraishi there were some moments I remembered very hard, but shall describe after the ski case.

The man at the top, (who was Tsuru in Prodai by the way) was dating the girl who was at the bottom. There was a man between them, whom the girl really loves. So Tsuru only got to know it at that moment. Then the man in the middle was showing signs and they had to do some operations on him to save his life.

And from what I think I understood and guess, the ski went through the main arteries of Tsuru, but he was currently in no danger because the ski was stopping his blood. But if they move him or anything, he most probably will die. Then the thing is, because of this, they will set the priority on the man and the girl, and Tsuru has to sacrifice his life to save his friends. Then they moved him up, and they cut up the ski and saved the other 2 person. What's so touching and saddening was until the end, Tsuru didn't get his love returned, and Aizawa was trying to save him till the end, until Tachibana stopped him. Aizawa even asked Tsuru to talk again. On the helicopter, I think Tachibana said Tsuru was incredible, because he saved the person he loved. On the other hand, it was Aizawa who actually suggested the idea, and he was the one who told Tsuru about everything. I find that very very brave. And. I admire him. This character. You could understand how hard they have to come up with the decision, and to inform Tsuru, but Aizawa went ahead, and braced himself through it. And if I'm not wrong during the ending he also said something like I'm responsible for it or something.

Anyway, jumped to Shiraishi for a while. The patient she saved had something unexpected, probably more blood loss than she expected. And she had to do heart massage for the patient. However she could only do until there, and the patient eventually will die. She got the parents over to her side, and told them that she once she stops the heart massage the patient will die. And the parents were like, you can stop now. But of course they couldn't really forgive her. "Anta, akuma?" The mother asked.

And finally that's all.
*spoilers*

End of spoilers and off to preview for the next episode!! In this case, probably considered spoilers again right? Well, the grandma said Pi's mother did not die of suicide. It was a murder. Something like that. The theme of the next episode is probably "the past". It was about people can never run away from their past.

So the end.

By the way, I think I cried enough. It was almost like the amount for Budou no Ki. Let me recall the dramas that have made me cried a ton. "Budou no Ki", "Byakkotai", "Shounen wa Tori ni Natta". The end. I think if I watch 1 litre of tears I'll cry very much too. Alright then. Shall end.

Fangirl (Code Blue Season 2 Episode 2)

Well, I was supposed to fangirl episode 1 as well. But never mind since I've just finished episode 2~ Anyway, Code Blue is indeed an emo drama, but ironically full of fangirling potential as well. *laughs*

Let's start with the fangirling! Then I'll sum up with the emo thoughts and how I think it's different from Season 1.

Oh my oh my~ I don't care how everyone thinks about Pi's hair! I love the hair! *laughs* He combed his parting another way! And I seriously love the op and ed because he had beautiful shots!! I can't exactly.. OH YES! My goodness~ He was 101% coolness in episode 1 alright!! There was a scene of him doing CPR on the kid, and it was in a moving vehicle (the ambulance). He placed his hand onto the car door to support himself, while using his right hand to continue on the CPR. Oh my~ That scene was HOT. Sorry because I know that's supposed to be a critical scene and scenario BUT!!!!! HE WAS HOT. HOT HOT HOT. ARGH~! Let's not care about other scenes in episode 1 because I a little lazy to think of it. But anyway he IS ALWAYS HOT and I love that scene from episode 1!

From episode 2, during one moment Hiyama's patient fainted and she shouted "dareka kite!", Aizawa shove off the curtain and looked. That was one one one fangirl scene alright! I saw it on KHTV and I fangirled once. Then when I watched the subbed just now I repeated that scene for a few times!! And just before that he was healing Fujikawa's injury where he deliberately pushed the cotton onto his wound. I find that super cute and anyway, even though it was all planned in the script, I can't help finding it cute and I'm sure they had some fun during that scene~

And I can't help flail at how Aizawa said "omae nara, dekiru" to Fujikawa! Oh well, after that I found out they all used "omae", but at first I was really thrilled to find them using "omae", or rather, Aizawa using it on others~! And sorry, but I love how they informed the in-the-middle-of-operation-Aizawa-Sensei about his phone call. Then how he pep-talked (is that the correct word?) Fujikawa to do his operation-on-site properly. And yes! When he first got the call and was told about the situation, immediately he made arrangements and wow!!! I love Aizawa~!

Actually I can't remember the rest of the fangirling factors, but there's this which I've specially watched again just to confirm what he had said. "Kousaku da yo~" he said. AHHHHHHHH~

Alright! What do you think will be waiting for him in the next episode?! When I watched the preview I was already excited for the next episode because I (stupidly) thought it was a triage. In the end seems not. *laughs* But then! Definitely something very very major because I saw many doctors over at the site! Mitsui and Tachibana and Aizawa already on site, plus the doctor wearing black from the heart department~ I bet it must be something so so so cool. In fact, Shiraishi was there in the end so I believe they sent many doctors over to the site!! EXCITING!! And then, regarding the suspending ending of episode 2 and some scenes from episode 3, probably Aizawa did something when he was young that led to his mother's death. On the other hand, who is that mystery visitor? Yamada Ichirou. I wonder if he has any link to Aizawa or the mother's death, since it was brought up since episode 1, Aizawa's mother's death I mean. I can't exactly remember and make out the scenes in the preview but I guess it's something to do with staircases or escalators and something must have went through the patient's heart. Probably puncture? That's why there were so many doctors on site. Probably Aizawa did the same thing and caused his mother to die of that. He was taking the monorail with Shiraishi back to the hospital! But Shiraishi seemed to be very depressed and on the verge of crying! Just what has happened? Did Shiraishi make another wrong judgement that cost a life? Is Aizawa going to console her yet again? What was going through Aizawa's mind and did he manage to perform well on site? Just by thinking about all these makes me all hyped up!!

The catching factors of Season 2:
  • Aizawa's Grandmother
  • Aizawa's mother's death
  • Aizawa's development
  • Hiyama's condition
  • Fujikawa's development
  • Shiraishi's development

Mostly on Aizawa I agree, but anyway he IS the main character too. Well, I don't mind too~ *laughs* But also, I think it's Hiyama's condition that makes me want to watch too. I sort of ranked the factors subconsciously~ Before I forgot, the scene when Aizawa talked to Fujikawa, telling to remember just the lives they have lost, was just heaven. *laughs* The way he talked, the way he portrayed Aizawa. Pi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then another factor, Pi said in his nikki that, the cases they have in the new seasons are adapted from real cases, which makes it more real and more.. How to say. Down to earth? Like touches your heart more? That's what I feel. Then before I continue, I want to comment on the differences between Season 1 and Season 2.

When I was watching season 1, I did feel emo and down and sad and very much affected. And you could see that most of them were not trained or experienced enough, many things had happened and how they coped with everything. Everyone had their challenges. Fujikawa's unskillfulness, Hiyama's short temper + impulsiveness (I think?), Shiraishi's indecisiveness + big problem (Kuroda Sensei's arm) and Aizawa's coldness. But everyone changed and became better. Then when it was special, they tried to show how everyone has improved, but still not enough for such a big catastrophe. (?)

Now that when I watched season 2, the first thought I have, or the strongest thought I have now after watching episode 2 is that, this season is much darker and deeper. In fact, more emo as well. In season 1 you see patients healing, even though they had bad backgrounds or sad cases. So far in season 2, no one has properly healed I believe. Actually episode 1 may be slightly boring because there's only 1 main case. Probably because they have to make a proper start for this drama, before they give us such a shocking episode 2~ *laughs*

For that main case in episode 1, the patient did recover, slightly, but still remain as a vegetable most probably. Episode 2 was worse, 1st case of death, 2nd case of death, 3rd case of memory loss. Not much goodness in it. But with that, I feel fulfilled. Even though it's not all that happy ending, I'm enriched and I feel contented after watching.

Lastly, I'm really amazed at how I look forward to this drama more than any other I believe. Yes I did look forward to Buzzer Beat. But it was a different feeling and I seriously love Code Blue for itself! Code Blue rocks!!

I know why I love Code Blue so much. Even though I have not watched any other medical dramas, I can assure that.. Code Blue is really focused on the cases, and the technical area, and the development. Probably that's what the plot is based on, but I'm glad they really based it fully on cases + development. Probably in many other medical dramas, they like to focus on the conflicts of doctors, fights, argues, and probably private lives of the doctors. I love how they based the story in the hospital, and how they use cases to bring out the problems or the thoughts of the doctors. Without bringing out the doctors' private lives. But of course sad to say, I can't remember if I've ever seen Pi in his private clothes in Code Blue. Probably the changing room, that black tank top. And that's all. *laughs*

Alright, that sums up my whole Code Blue fangirling post, because it's running late and I have tons to do before I go for work tomorrow!! Gotta sleep!

I love Code Blue!!
