Confessions of a Fangirl

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! Confession time. When I was a wee young lass in high school, I was positively hooked onto Parfait Tic! It was the air I breathed, the dreams I dreamt, the thoughts I pondered, Parfait Tic was carved in my heart of hearts. I even doodled the story onto the margin of my class notes. What can I say? I was a lovesick fangirl. Of course, that's all in the past and unfortunately only lasted up to volume 8...after which I was terrorized to bits and pieces by the out of control storyline which just wouldn't freakin' let up. But alas, I had to go on hiatus with the story since the scanlations were not coming out fast enough.... then fast forward four years later and now the complete 22 volumes sit on my shelf. I trudged through the rest of the story with a heavy heart, but I had to know who Fuuko would end up with. Daiya Foreva!!!

Okay, so now that I discovered they are currently airing a TWdrama based on the story called Love Buffet. Well, yours truly's hopes and dreams were simultaneously fulfilled and shattered. Confession Part 2. I had wished and wished that there would be a drama based on the story and I would one day star in said fabulous drama based on the story (up to volume 8 only!) and be in the arms of the wonderful Daiya and we would live happily ever after. A girl can fantasize, right? Right? But now.... a TWdrama...an idol cast.... oh the humanity!!!! I know the story isn't exactly intense drama material, but judging from my current viewing of Hana Kimi (TW), I don't think justice will be done for those precious 8 volumes of mine by this live action drama. Those 8 volumes captured the emotional turmoil of a girl in a one-sided love, her transition and her full recovery so well.... Yeah, that was my heart talking. *Sigh* but the potential was there and so was the love.
