I know, I know. LOL! A lot of people like me are probably dying in frustration right now because this is not a legit teaser or anything. (Oh how I wish this is true...) I'm so sorry if I have bursted your bubbles, so to all my fellow Asian drama and Japanese manga fans out there, I would like to apologize for the false alarm. Haha! There's so much buzz going on lately, if you may have heard, about Skip Beat finally gearing up for a premiere in Taiwan this December after my favorite In Time With You (I May Not Love You) with Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen finishes its run, so I am guessing that because of this recent frenzy and anticipation for Skip Beat (translated to Extravagant Challenge in the TW drama version), people are slowly rewatching the first preview of the drama which was revealed a few months ago, as a sign of much anticipation and glee.

I can't wait to watch the drama when it finally airs myself. I have long been talking about how much I adore Super Junior's Donghae and Siwon (and Ivy), so this is something that I would not definitely miss for the world. Going back to the awesome trailer, I mysellf went ecstatic after seeing the title of the video alone and I found myself spazzing like a deprived fangirl until the entire video finished loading. Seconds into the video, I knew something was not right, but I did not even read the credits and the comments, so I went on to watch the video happily like an oblivious freak. Much to my disapointment, I was totally left in dismay after realizing that this was just a fan-made video of an imaginary Japanese version of Skip Beat by an avid fan. However, this is just so good for a fan-made trailer (I must say). In just 4 minutes, I was like O___O the whole time and I was jumping for joy deep within me because I liked what I was seeing.

In this trailer stars Horikita Maki (as the imaginary Kyoko Mogami) who starred in the phenomenal Hana Kimi Japanese version previously, the charismatic Ikuta Toma as Sho Fuwa and the handsome Oguri Shun, who played the character of Rui Hanazawa in the Japanese version of Hana Yori Dango, as Ren Tsuruga. What's more is the fact that the trailer also made it seem to appear like other famous Japanese drama and movie stars are also appearing in the drama as the other actors who are part of the cast. This is probably one of the best fan-made trailers I've ever seen lately. Truth be told, it's even better than what the production companies of our favorite Asian dramas make and if this is going to continue in the long run, these companies need to be wary as early as now because these bored and dedicated fans will give them a run for their money someday. Hahaha!

I am enamored to Ikuta Toma as the pretend Sho for this trailer. I must admit that he is, hands down, made for the role. If not, I would most probably suggest Matsumuto Jun for this one.I love Donghae with all my heart, but it can't help but flutter for Toma as well, so he can be Sho and I won't object, ever. Oguri Shun also fits as Ren. He's always been the nice guy slash knight in shinning armor slash shoulder to cry on and everything in between. I like him personally, so him being Ren is a thumbs up for me. Another suggestion would probably be Nishikido Ryo of NEWS (former member) and Kanjani Eight, who recently starred in the wonderful drama Zenkai Girl with breathtakingly gorgeous Yui Aragaki. Maki, one of my favorite J actresses alongside Yui Aragaki, Ueno Juri, Inoue Mao and Kitagawa Keiko, looks effortlessly radiant and glowing beside the two handsome lads who are trying to win her heart. How I wish this was just true. Or should I just sleep again so that when I wake up, I will realize that I am not dreaming (and that a Japanese version will really be coming one day)? Hahaha!

Moving on, the trailer was beautifully made. I salute the maker(s) for a job well done and for bringing out the emotions that I wanted to feel from the adaptation of this manga. All the missing emotions that I was looking for in the actual TW trailer was there and the attack of the trailer is just so different compared to the real one, which was probably enough to convice me that, yes, this was what I was longing for. The dialogues, transition and cohesiveness was wonderfully presented, making me flail with arms wide open  and squeal in delight like a certified lunatic drama fan. Whew! I don't know what to say because it is getting late and I am running out of words to say, but if you are a drama fan and if you love Skip Beat, then all the more reason that you should watch this!
