ryoko-chan, you speak words of wisdom!!
Yes, ruisu, I think he will, too, but I hope he will do it in a way that will burn Morimoto even worse than if he hadn't
It's so enjoyable discussing this series! (Especially when it's a great excuse to distract me from stressing work! ) What are some of everyone's favourite scenes so far?

Favorites scenes, huh? There are several that I particularly love. I'll put them in spoiler tags just to be safe in case someone visits the thread who hasn't seen the first 5 episodes.
Hidden:
The scene where Kyoko finds Mizusawa searching in the rain for her necklace, and how he finds it and confesses his feelings to her is one of my absolute favorites. That's probably why I referenced it in my last post.
I also have to second the park scene where we find out about Mizusawa's past as an abandoned child and see that he's not a man without tears. Yeah, that one gets me a bit too.
It's not just one scene, but I love the interactions between Kyoko and her sempai. The robe fight, the roses bickering, the drunk karaoke, etc... That friendship has a lot of warmth to it, and it's something I really enjoy.
The inaccurate depiction of Americans gives me quite a giggle. I love Mizusawa's cool act in the "knife" scene anyhow; so, when you team that with my amusement of how that Vegas casino owner was portrayed (a knife instead of a gun?), the scene is strangely endearing to me. I probably have a rather perverse sense of humor, admittedly. LOL I think Oikawa's English was really good there, too! L's and R's were where they should be, and his word emphasis was spot on. It's among the best I've heard in a dorama.
And finally, Akane's confrontation with Morimoto when she decides to leave home. I loved seeing her show some backbone there. It was nice after how much she mostly was sulking and avoiding confrontations with Morimoto before that.

Oh, thank you everyone for sharing! Keep it coming, I like reading about those lovely moments and remembering them! I also have lots, but I'll only mention one now (should be working hard at the moment, but I seem to be finding every little pretext to write here instead of for my paper ).
Hidden:
So, one moment that almost had me die from too much beauty is when Mizusawa, after attaching Kyoko's necklace, gently holds her hair up and gets it loose from the necklace, and then places her long locks back in the front of her shoulders... Sorry for not being able to express the scene better, my English fails me! But I think you all remember that moment!!!
I almost could have never imagined such gentleness, I was like this:

MASAKA!!!! NOOOO! What in the world possessed me to watch the ending of ep 6?!?!? I hope, I do hope against hope that: either I haven't heard correctly what he said, or actually I didn't understand the phrase right even though I understood all the words, OR it won't be true after all!!!
I'm heart-broken now! Served me right for peeking! Waaah!
Minna, don't look, don't look, don't do what I did, please let's wait for the subs like good children!!

BIG SPOILER HERE for ep 6!!! Please don't read if you aren't sure you want to know!
Hidden:
He is reading something from some documents, about Kyoko. And then he goes into deep shock! And Kikuchi asks him: Doushita?
And I think he says: "Uso da! Kanojo wa... Kyoko-san wa... boku no imouto?!"
NOOO!!! Please, don't let it be like that!!

I'm still only at 63% of the file, so now I'm really curious! My Japanese is limited, but I'll see if I can make it out once I have the full episode. This week's gonna be a killer waiting for the subs, isn't it? Well, if the ending is as tumultous as it seems, it'll be a killer waiting for the next episode too...
EDIT: EEEEEP! I'll have to be on the listen for that. Is that in the episode itself or the promo for 7?

Yes, yes, evil, evil cliffy! And it'll be awful if things stay like that.
Weren't we led to believe that this will be a feel-good drama in the end? Weren't we, now? Can we still hope now?!
Hidden:
I will hate it to pull a Summer Snow on us! Even though it's in a different sense...
Hmm, so, is that true about the twist? I didn't know it was so common... I would have thought that's a more Korean thing.... Not that I have watched too many kdramas. For the exact same reason that I hate horrible twists. But then, this was made after a kdrama, so it means we can expect ANY sort of tragic misfortune to happen!

Incest themes pop up regularly enough in manga, anime, and dramas. Look at MatsuJun's recent role in Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru, for example. If you did a search you'd find plenty of examples for that theme in Japanese stories.
I've not watched any Korean dramas yet, so I don't know how prevelent it is there. I generally avoid tragedies and tearjerkers anyhow, because I don't like that sorta thing. I'd rather have all my angst finished up and concluded with something feel-good. That's just my personal preference though.
Anyhow, if it's not a misunderstanding in this show by the end of episode 8, I'll have to check the spoilers on the Kdrama to see if that's the same before committing to 20 episodes of that.
Okay, my download is done. I'm starting the raw now.

Yay, your dl is done! I only skimmed through the raw and watched what scenes of Mizusawa and Kyoko I stumbled upon, and then that scary ending...
I guess I'll go to sleep now (if I'll be able to sleep, that is).
This will be a weekend of fire and hail for me as I'm supposed to be working on a big mean project round the clock I'll be dropping by here, though, I'm afraid so I'm looking forward to your thoughts!
