[Drama Upload] Aiba Masaki - Bartender Ep 1

Bartender ep01 A
Uploaded by kkftw2. - Classic TV and last night's shows, online.

It's definitely not as still as the anime.. there're movements everywhere, and we get to see the Bartender outside of his bar.

Demo, since it doesn't present an arc right in the 1st ep... I don't feel any urgency to watch the 2nd ep. However, if you're an Aiba fan.. his presence is enough to make you impatiently wait for the next story, right? :)

And I'm not happy that it doesn't have a cocktail-making session with recipe at the end of the story, the way it is in the anime. They should get a real bartender making an appearance and make a cocktail in front of the camera. I want to see the honmono no baatenda at work! ^^

Watched the drama up to ep 3 and got curious about the difference between the bar in Kami no Shizuku and the one in the Bartender drama. So there are specific bars catering to specific people/serving specific drinks? Omoshiroi...

[Upcoming Drama] Bartender - Masaki Aiba

I mentioned this anime in this post and said that despite it being super boring, I enjoyed it very much. So imagine my surprise when I got to know that they're making a drama adaptation of it.

YEAY!!!

It stars Masaki Aiba, a member of Arashi. I have always tried to avoid dramas/movies by idoru stars with the exception of Kame and Jun... oh, and Tomoya... coz they're all sorts of awesome in practically all the dramas/movies I've watched them in, so by virtue of being in a drama I'm definitely going to watch when it airs, Masaki Aiba will be the 4th idoru star in my drama list.

I love it when the actors learn all sorts of skills for the dramas they're in. It simply adds authenticity and makes me appreciate them all the more coz they're worked so hard to make the stories come alive. Here's a preview of the drama. The release date (tentatively) is January 2011. Be looking forward to it!
