When I initially first heard of a SP, I was so excited! I was hoping that given the timing of it (being right after episode 11), it would be like an episode 12, filled with fresh scenes. But those familiar with Japanese special episodes would know, in MOST cases, they just do a CRAP job and just give you a bunch of recaps!!! LAZY ASSES!! I was sooo pissed off when I heard there was only NINE minutes of fresh scenes! THe worst thing was that Ruka appears for like 30 seconds – it’s like….WTF?
Anyway, as I mentioned before, as long as you never expected much from the SP and took Ep 11 as the ending, it isn’t so bad! Yes, I would have LOOOOVED for there to be a good heart to heart, one on one moment between Ruka and MIchiru but given we’re talking about prime time TV here, that’s probably being a little too hopeful! I must admit that I am nevertheless disappointed. Oh well…I guess this drama has already delivered a lot of wonderful moments and we really shouldn’t be so greedy. =( I’m sure there will be fanfic going around so might have to settle for those! haha I’ll let you know if I find something worth reading. ^_^
Now for some snapshots of the SP…*sigh*…nothing exciting…well not much!! Let’s start off with a nice family pic…sweeeet….though I’d much rather there wasn’t a gap between Ruka & Michiru!! hahaha
Rumi!! Kawaii!!! How cute is she?? “Ru” from Ruka and “mi” from Michiru and within that we also have the sound “ru” from Takeru!! This must be one of the cutest ideas in drama!! haha Hands down to the script writer!! Aaah….!! Happy family!! Yes! Please always stay together and give us a REAL SP!!! Onegai!!!
A cute little insert – can you spot it!!?? It’s a mini mug for Rumi!!! Aaaaw!! I’m guessing that it’s from papa Takeru!! hahaha
Once again, congratulations to the cast and entire team behind the production of Last Friends! Thanks to their hard work, we were able to enjoy 11 weeks of pure craziness! Seriously, you should have seen some of the analysis going on in the D-Addicts thread!?! CRAZY stuff! haha Really enjoyed this one. Though I might not have agreed to every choice the director and scriptwriter made to the story, I still love the end result. A stunning cast! Amazing OST and selfless love all thrown in one….what more can you want!?! You have to check this one out if you haven’t already. ^_^
Now I’ll just curl up and suffer depression…no more Last Friends!!! =(

I haven’t watch the SP yet, but it’s just a full recap as I heard I wonder if I should watch it or not. And Rumi is so adorable!!!

I think it’s still worth watching but maybe just for the 9 minute version. The last thing I want is to sit thru all that DV stuff again!!! NO WAY!! Check it out! Even if it’s just for Rumi!! haha

aww haha good eye sight i didn’t realize the little cup for Rumi! Definitely from Papa Takeru! OMG I so agree I wanted a heart to heart conversation between Ruka and Michiru =( Some how what I got from the series was that it was a one sided love for Ruka. Michiru only saw her as a friend. I heard there’s going to be a movie? I hope they’ll find someone for Ruka and Takeru, or maybe have Michiru confess her love for Ruka (wishful thinking)

Imagine if they did a SP just to tie the loose end of Michiru expressing her feelings for Ruka? That would be amazing! But that won’t happen…*sigh*
