Well, this pair is my favorite in Last Friends, which just ended last night and the Special is going to show next week. They're not only compatible or have GREAT CHEMISTRY in the drama together, but you can also find something in common in their names. * notice the ' ru ' in both names * I know the writers purposely created names to connect them together, there's also Michiru by the way. But i'm not gonna talk about her since she's one of my least fav character in there.

So this entire post is a tribute to them. But since i'm still DL episode 11, the finale which has shall i say, quite a lot of TakeRuka bonding, i shall post pics of them for that episode in the NEW post for FINALE...later...later after i watched it haha xD omg... can't wait!

Now...I've just never actually seen such a good pure chemistry written for anyone as FRIENDS in a japanese drama before. Okay, so maybe i'm biased, maybe there are tons out there which are great too but none of them had drawn me this much before, watching them both together having so many sweet moments together, YET they are just good friends. They're purely SOULMATES.
ALL the scenes they have together are just very well written. Not a flaw at all.

Of course, here is the bar scene i really liked and giving me such deep impression because i love how Takeru said he understands Ruka and he wanted to have a friend that respects and treats that person regardless of gender. You can see in his eyes he meant it.

And of course, they share a LOT of scenes where they just talk about anything, and we can see how comfortable both of them are together. Ruka, especially finds herself drawn closer to him and seeing him as somebody she can confide in, someone she can just be with in ease. In fact, despite her issue, she seems to share a lot of revelations with him. she enjoys his company. The same goes with Takeru.

I love all the park scenes they have together, just walking, pulling their bikes together * what a coincidence that they were again connected by bikes huh? *



And the cups, YES....we must NOT FORGET the cups that they used in there. such meaningful symbols!

Takeru is such a sweet guy in here. It makes me wonder if in real life, there's anyone like that. I mean, he's definitely one of a kind out there. RARE SPECIES haha...

Takeru is such an understanding guy, he sees right through Ruka almost immediately at any kind of situations, especially regarding her hard moments like this one down here. I love the way how he cautiously wrapped his arms around her, gently. That's such a great sign of respect as well as care for someone.


more moments...

And this is one of my favorite too.

this is amazing. Not only the characters themselves but i'd really like to give props to those two actor and actress for doing such great job here.
Talk about chemistry, these two reached top notch for me!!!


A REAL WARM HUG...finally!!!


Oh and let's not forget the scene where Ruka rushes home to see Takeru who was beaten up by evil Sousuke. When i saw Takeru lying like that...jeez...my heart went all out for him! Especially when he said " Okaeri" to Ruka.


I don't know why but...seeing Ruka tearing up like that for Takeru shows how much she cared for him. such a heartbreaker.
ah....the GRIP....so nice!!! sometimes....there's no need for words to express how you feel. It's ACTION. And for these two, they do communicate by actions. And that's enough really. More than enough to see how well they get along with other.


and how can anyone miss this scene!!! This is one of their short, but SWEETEST scene ever!


Look at that! Just LOOK AT THAT!!! whoever wrote this part...i salute him/her for this. Like i said, ACTION sometimes RULEZ over words. This scene alone explains a lot about them. How comfortable they are, without having to wonder or be suspicious of each other, just at ease.



Takeru...despite your hairstyle in here...you still win my heart for being one of the BEST SOULMATE EVER! or uh...BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR EVER....no scratch that

BEST ACTOR is more like it.

Well, that's all. will post more in the next post, totally dedicated for the FINALE. Which i think i'll be posting a lot, i know.

I really hope both of these two, Eita and Ueno Juri will be casted again in other dramas or movies together. I'd really love to see them as a couple, REAL COUPLE next really. but i kinda doubt that will happen so soon. They gotta let the last friends buzz die down before giving more of TakeRuka stuffs in a new drama. It'll be repetitive but still, amazing * couple* these two are. ^^

Their friendship here goes well BEYOND lovers, even. You know how in real life it's hard to have a man and a woman to just be really really GOOD FRIENDS, these two made it possible. Even though Ruka has GID issue and she doesn't see herself as a girl LOL...but still, i'm touched by their chemistry.

YAY for TakeRuka!!!
