So, what does everyone think of the drama that Hikki's Prisoner Of Love is used as the theme song for?

I, for one, am insanely obsessed with it at the moment. I only downloaded the first episode to see how PoL was used in the episode, but I fell in love with it. I'm anticipating each new episode more and more every week now. xD

For those who have been following the series:

Prisoner of Love is THE PERFECT SONG for Last Friends. The whole drama is based around Hikki's lyrics for the song. And plus, they use PoL at THE PERFECT MOMENTS in the Drama. Seriously, this drama has been absolutely fabulous. I DLed the RAW for episode 7 just now and I'm going to try to use what little Japanese I know in order to understand the situation.

I recently saw Ep. 6 yesterday. Oh god, I never been hooked on a drama before. xD Like Anilum said, Prisoner of Love is definitely the perfect song for Last Friends. Really good drama and highly recommended for those who haven't seen it yet. ^-^

I almost cried when I saw Michiru wearing an eye patch. D= She seemed so...lifeless. o_o

Lol. How would you feel if you got beaten up for being late to the house just to buy groceries?

The softsubs are up on D-Addicts for episode 7 if you search for them. Then you won't have to struggle trying to understand the Japanese. Smile

Amorphose, this thread can stay up as you don't provide direct links to the downloads, ok? Smile

As for the drama, it's very bold for the Japanese audience, talking about abuse, sexuality, et cetera...

I haven't watch episodes 6 or 7. I might as well wait until the entire series is done.

By the way, Ueno Juri and Eita should earn awards this year. Their acting is superb so far.

Yeah seriously. Ueno Juri does an outstanding job at her role. She is like, the perfect person for the role of Ruka. And as for episode 7, holy crap has the drama intensified.

The series looks really interesting, I'm just way to lazy to look for episodes that are subtitled. Since it seems to deal with a lot of relationship stuff.

I refused to go to this thread until I watched through episode 8 and OMG!! I was a real Hana Yori chick and thought a drama couldn't get much better, but this one is definitely tops for me. It really touches on some really touchy subjects, though, you've got to admit. But it really does reflect Hikki's song just perfectly. All the characters exemplify how to be a prisoner of love.

I've decided to try it, and I must say, as I'm currently watching it, it's VERY intriguing. Oh, and Michiru's mom's a bi@tch!!!
