Sprout Ep2: Screenshots, Music

 Hey guys! Last week I posted about my new found love for a Jdrama called Sprout, starring some of my favorite Johnny's, Chinen Yuri and Jesse Lewis, as well as Hashimoto Ryosuke, Yasui Kentaro and Tanaka Juri as side characters relevant to the drama.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't Johnny's baited into this drama, and while the drama may run at a pace too slow for most, I find it oddly refreshing.

The drama has taken a long stride away from the manga it was based off, taking liberties in actually giving roots to the main character's feelings. I'm glad they did so because now her jealousy makes sense. Is it justified? Nope, it still isn't, but at least it makes sense now haha.

I was excited for this episode for two main reasons:

1) I actually wanted to see Jesse get some lip action LOL. (Don't worry, he does).

2) I wanted to see what other Grouplove songs they'd manage to fit in.

Not to my disappointment, they craftfully managed to fit in another Grouplove song in addition to Betty's a Bombshell from last week. Awesomesauce.

Cruel and Beautiful World - Grouplove


Go ahead and close the door
I'll stand outside in the rain
A little bird just told me so
It's time to start over again

So I'll run out and take this boat
Far away from these shores

And I'll reach behind an enemy line
and find my curable cure

(Chorus)
Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
and I got my girl
and if it seems like we're falling behind
or just slipping on top from the mouths of our mind

I buried a treasure
far off near the desert
I'm trying to find my way there
It's been too long since I've been myself
And my eyes can't see anymore

and there's a song inside of this hard of mind
and I'd like to sing it to you
Cause there's an earthquake shaking inside my country
Now what am I gonna do?

(chorus)
Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
and I got my girl
and if it seems like we're falling behind
or just slipping on top from the mouth of our mind (hey)

Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world (cruel and beautiful world)
and I got my girl (he's got his girl)
and if it seems like we're falling behind (seems like we're falling behind)
or just slipping on top from the mouth of our mind

--------------------------

I'm not going to go as in-depth on this episode or this drama as I usually do with my movie reviews because I don't want this to turn into an episode synopsis, nor do I want to let out spoilers who haven't watched the episode yet. Instead, I'll post some relevant screen shots for your pleasure of viewing. Seriously - the shots in this drama are beautiful. Every shot seems like it was taken through an instagram filter *_*

Please credit if you're taking any of these - they took me ages to screenshot x_x

Lol I'm pretty sure you can tell who my Bias is in this drama based solely on sheer number of shots, but I'm also sure you can build up the story from these shots (albeit a bit imbalanced) :P

I honestly can't stop giggling at the height difference between Chinen and the other actors and actresses. It may be true that he has the freshest aura out of them all, but it's almost comical how his shoulder doesn't even match up to the shoulder fo the girl he's supposedly dating. In fact, he gets most of his height from the volume of his hair LOL. It's okay Chii, we still love you :P

Sigh. Great music, wonderful cinematography but a rather mediocre plot. Hey, at least we have cute boys! :P

Ada, signing out :P
