“Ayu wa, kimaseeeeen.” Had me rolling. And the stupid grape scene. Lmao.
I love her. She's going all out chewing up scenery like a termite eats a wood couch, and it's hilarious. It fits perfectly with a story line that made Ayu, rather than call Max on the phone when separated from him by Eyepatch Lady, stand outside of a romantic restaurant singing aloud to call him to her instead.

So far the drama has pleasantly surprised me. It's as over the top as we all knew it would be, but it's genuinely, honestly fun. It's leaning into its cheese.

Today, Yahoo! Japan has like four articles about it lined up in my feed, forget the barrage that have been released into the net overall, which makes me thrilled for Ayu.

I'm also very happy for Kalen, who did better than I thought she would. I mentioned earlier I was worried for her just falling into Ayu's shadow, and that's still a danger. But it doesn't change the fact that her Instagram, which was slowly ticking up followers with each new release, appears to have gained 10k new followers in just days. This IS a decent start for a decent career after all, and if she and Ayu do it together, that's awesome.
