black pean #1 spoilers

[tronella]

So I still feel like yelling about this episode, but I guess it's still to early to post spoilers on twitter, so I'll post my important drama feelings under a cut here. Please talk to me about it too :?


1) Nekota is awesome, I hope she gets more to do than run around after Tokai in future episodes though.
2) Miwa didn't get much to do! Actually I barely noticed her when watching it live, but after subbing it I realised she does talk with Sera a lot.
3) There are really a lot of different male doctors in this show, how am I supposed to tell them all apart? Especially when they are wearing face masks half the time???
4) The scene with Tokai talking to his mother on the phone!!! "why don't you have 5 girlfriends" really made me laugh a lot. Also... yet another Nino character with father issues, what a surprise. I'm looking forward to more backstory!
5) Competent Nino is ... so hot ♥
6) I don't think this part was supposed to be funny, but Minagawa's face when Sera was like "I worked out that you like this one tree" was HILARIOUS to me. Her eyes bugged right out.
7) In the meeting about using the snipe on Minagawa, when the director says that Saeki is the chair of the ethics committee, I genuinely gasped in horror, haha. Since I always translate stuff about ethics committees at work, it really amuses me that ethics committee membership was such a point of drama XD
8) Do you think Takashina actually did know about the aneurysm? Is he 100% evil or is he just being used by Nishizaki and/or Saeki?
9) lol Tokai slicing his food really thinly at the "study group".
10) I don't understand why Saeki thinks Tokai cares about not being allowed to use his fancy black pean. Like who cares about that? Well, clearly a lot of people, but it's stupid >:(
11) I'm sort of annoyed that I have to write SNIPE in capitals all the time, but that's how it's written in the unpublished paper that they got from the trial coordinator.
12) My final QC check was to search the whole sub file for the word "spine" just in case I wrote that instead of "snipe"... amazingly, I had not.

You're right, slimy wasn't an apt descriptor. He was more... too caught up in his own ambition, and he was always going to fail for the sake of the narrative haha. I'm interested to know he responds & changes from here - which means on to ep 2!

I'm hoping the drama doesn't disappoint w making the character stuff interesting, because I would like to remain invested in more than just Nino's pretty hands and face. (But then again, they probably are enough to keep me watching - it's easy to be shallow when Nino is his Nino best.)

Hope you enjoy episode 2!

It does seem to have quite a deep plot aside from just "here are some operations", so I have high hopes for now :)
