muscle girl! マッスルガール! [series]

wanna watch a drama where FT Island is playing the soundtrack throughout?

youve come to the right place!

 cast:

azusa - ichikawa yui (kurosagi, rescue, inpei shirei)

jiho – lee hongki (FT Island, you’re beautiful, winter child)

tsukasa – yamamoto hikaru (kamen rider w, wangang midnight)
himawari – akai saki (dohyo girl)

mai – aya vanessa

kaoru – shida hikaru

gohara – mikami kensei (bloody Monday 2, tsuki no koibito, deka wanko)

sukaru – koike keiko

kurogane – kuwano nobuyoshi (misaki number one)

lee soonja – kuroda fukumi (kindaichi shonen no jikenbo, kabachitare)

Siwon☆ – oh wonbin (ex FT Island, heartstrings)

genius cast list right?

I mean, yes – I obviously watched this for the same reason as everyone else. a certain young chap who everyone adores but no-one really knows why, FT Island’s smiley eyed lee hongki. ive said it before and I will no doubt say it again, I love that boy’s teeth.

well I got my fix yet again with muscle girl, not only of hongki’s teeth but his lovely accent when speaking japanese (another thing we all know I love – koreans speaking japanese.) and there was also an abundance of my favourite hongki stupid facial expressions... though it is never quite enough. (^_^) ㅋㅋㅋ

it was nice to see ichikawa yui again, hadn’t seen her since kurosagi where she was a total idiot tw*t faced sh*t bag. I really liked tsukasa, played by yamamoto hikaru - who I totally don’t remember being in wangang at all but apparantly she was.

I’d better outline the plot I guess.

so, korean pop star jiho (hongki) one day secretly leaves his manager in search of his runaway mother who upped and left him in the not too distant past. I should start using commas really shouldn’t I… ok, take a breath… right, so, anyway, jiho ends up haphazardly becoming a referee for a female wrestling group who are being bullied and threatened by rival hard man gohara and his weird ass muscle girl sukaru (skull).

…take another breath because I didn’t put any commas in again…

various stuff happens with the wrestlers as they try to save their business from evil villainy type guy and russian gangster wannabe girlie. various stuff also happens as they all try to search for jiho’s mother. and various cute will-they-wont-they moments happen between jiho and azusa causing some great cross-eyed-hongki faces.

this one is my favourite ^      ㅋㅋㅋ

and just how adorable is ichikawa yui? well, very. when she’s not being a d*ck in kurosagi she is completely the cutest thing ever. even better when she clothes-lines the bad guys and sleeper-holds hongki (twice!) – she kicks ass.

you get to see shiny pants, cat scraps, hongki get beaten up a fair old bit, ichikawa wear cute little red glasses, and mostly yeah its all about the shiny pants and cat scraps.

it is a short series, 10 episodes 25min long each, so it is one of those ones you can watch the whole thing in a day (if youre anything like me) and then wish you had more.

it is really stupid and cheesy. definitely. but from the outset it is what you expect right? oh yeah! I almost forgot! we have an special appearance as well. it was a "aa! wonbin!" *finger points furiously at screen* moment as i saw him pop up. he does a little cameo as fellow musician Siwon☆ lovely lovely thanks for that, we appreciate the little appearances he keeps making in stuff recently.

                                  there he is look ^ 

ive not really said much about this drama but it sort of speaks for itself. what else can I do but leave you with hongki’s teeth? yah!     

... and oh wonbin.      ...seriously.

...seriously. i mean, really how...

i mean, ...it's...just...

i think i need to stop watching stuff with koreans in. im completely distracted again wondering if there are any beautiful genes left for the rest of the world. i lose sleep over this sh*t you know. i really do.

...

c'mon girl mv - oh wonbin (i should probably wait for when ive done the review of heartstrings for this vid, seen as he is in, y'know, more than one episode, but what are ya gonna do. 

the audio track isnt in sync in some places but i cant be bothered to fix it.

he's pwetty.
