As to whether this piece of news is true or not...i'm not sure since i'm not one of the staffs right? But if it is, i won't be THAT surprised becoz if i were *her* i would be kinda pissed too.But haha...i'm trying to imagine a mad Ueno Juri yelling the director and ignoring Ryo Nishikido in the process...

My view?

As a fan of LF (from episode 1) I have to admit that the whole DV story was getting pretty boring even in the first few episodes itself. * i know that's exactly what the whole show's about anyway, but do they have to resort to such shameful act just to keep the ratings this high?* Now that i think of it, i think the ratings somehow does not really show the quality of the show anymore if this is the case.

I don't blame Juri and Ryo in this case. For Juri, i understand her feelings *provided if this news is true though* I mean, who wouldn't be when her role's storyline was neglected just to make way for a JE boy, just coz he's more popular and all right? In my honest opinion, she has every right to be mad at the director or whoever is was that decided to go with Ryo's popularity to boost the ratings and left out the main storyline between Ruka and Michiru. But i do think that being mad at Ryo for that is a bit off, though.

For Ryo, i do feel sorry for him being caught up in the middle of this. I suppose he can't help it if he's a JE boy and being screamed at by his fellow hopeless gangirls...just look at Warratte Iitomo, during the introduction, he was the clearly the MAIN ATTRACTION.

The person to blame here is the stupid director who used Ryo's popularity for the show's ratings. Honestly, that is very LOW and DISGRACEFUL especially towards the other actors/actresses like Juri, Eita and even Eri. They barely touched on Eita and Eri's plot!!! To tell you the truth, the storyline gets weaker by the episode when they focus more and more on Sousuke's story and neglecting the others.

The only reason i continued watching this show till the end was because of Ruka and Takeru. I didn't really care much for Sousuke and Michiru. And i can bet that a lot of people are the same with me. Right now though, i'm just wondering what was the initial PLAN apart from making Sousuke dead around the middle of the show, i'm wondering what they have in mind for Ruka, Michiru, Takeru and the rest actually. I'm not the only one who really wanted to see more progress in Ruka and Michiru's relationship *ok, it's not that i want them to end up together but even in the last episode, they didn't get the chance to have a talk face to face, like you know, only the TWO of them, having Takeru with them had somehow interrupted the whole thing* It'd be really nice if they can just show a brief talk between Ruka and Michiru *i mean, surely Michiru would've some stuffs to tell Ruka, about her feelings and all right?*

Ah well, the show's over. And at least, everyone seemed happy during the wrap-up. And they even have Utada Hikaru in the after party, doing a duet with Juri (on piano). Do we get some Nodame here? *no news on Ryo though, pity him haha*
