Girlcrush: Hirosue Ryoko

Who is she: Japanese actress, also a singer, but I havent heard any of her music.

Why I love her: I fell for her understated acting in the 1990's jdrama, Summer Snow, where she played a woman with a serious heart condition who decides to learn to scuba dive. I didn't see her again until Yakuso to Kenji, where she hilariously plays a former gang leader. She's been in a lot of things, including the Luc Besson film Wasabi, which I havent seen.



She has a fresh face. She isn't cutesy or overwhelmingly gorgeous, there is something very real about her, and that appeals to me so much.








She does have a quirky smile, which I find so very endearing.






And then, of course, she brings the hotness.

Does anyone else think she looks...creepily young here? Is it just me?







She's been in 8 billion things, including Triangle, MR BRAIN, and a Luc Besson movie, so seriously, check her out, as she is pretty awesome. Im thinking I need a Yasuko to Kenji rewatch here pretty soon - anybody with me?

It wouldn't be a rewatch, but Yasuko to Kenji has been on my list for a while. I'd watch along with you.

Hirosue Ryoko is seriously cute!

ooh, YAY! I have to find my disc, as i burned it and then deleted. it's cute, and i would have said fairly forgettable, only now I want to see it again, so who knows?

I will start...Thursday, after I no longer have small children at work to deal with!

Isn't she cute? I don't want to make out with her like I do Rainie or Ella, but she is seriously adorable!

I'm all for cute and forgettable. Thursday sounds good. I'm going to have to burn some of the dramas on my HD before my laptop EXPLODES.

You're watching how many eps a day?

[alianora]

Probably just one - honestly, after i get home from work, i rarely have time for more than one after checking lj and my email.

yeah, my laptop exploding was a cause of concern. i burned a good chunk of dramas..and then i ran out of room in the disc holder, so i had to stop until i got a new holder. which i havent yet.
