Little bits here and there...
But for starters...I'm sure many of you know about his role in Matsujun's new drama Smile and some background info into his character, the info was posted at Shun's LJ community...if you haven't seen it yet, here's a little recap:
Shun's character's name is Hayashi Seiji, apparently he's Bito's (Matsujun) arch enemy in the drama...he is the leader of the delinquent gang Bito used to belong to, Seiji is said to cause trouble for Bito and is the dictator of all the things that has gone wrong in Bito's life.
Seeing the 2 close friends playing enemies is a rarity, in the past, they were always portraying roles of bestfriends; from the delinquent pair of Shin & "Uchi" in Gokusen, to the renown bestfriends and "love rivals" of Domyoji Tsukasa and Hanazawa Rui from the famous F4 in Hana Yori Dango.
I'm eager to see how these 2 guys handle it when they're at opposite ends of the table this time.
Secondly, 'Smile' aside...here's another quick update on the Tenchijin ratings:
After ep 13's dramatic drop in ratings from 21.7% to 17.8%, fortunately the drama did pick itself up again with a rise to 19.8% the following week...while ep 15 which was aired last Sunday night attracted ratings of 19.6%...a slight drop again, but it's hardly any concern.
Ratings like these are fantastic, but it would be even better to see these numbers rise to the 20's again.
