『美女か野獣 Kiss? or Fight?』, which is more or less translated as The Beauty or the Beast: Kiss or Fight?, is a Japanese drama I saw without subs some time ago on a local international channel. The fansubs were hard to get--took me nearly a week to download off torrents, and on top of that, looking from the first episode, had by far the worst quality I have seen in some time :lmao: .

It stars Masaharu Fukuyama and hottie Nanako Matsushima :hubba: . You may recognize the latter as the lead in the Japanese Ringu and/or as Azusa Fuyutsuki in the live action GTO :wub: . I also recognize Kiyoshi Kodama as the anchorman Kyoichiro Sakuragi--he played Yuki Aoi's doctor in another drama I have seen XD .

Makoto Takamiya (Matsushima), a Harvard (yes, THAT Hah-vahd) graduate, is a news reporter for a major network in the United States (namely, "UNN", or "United News Network" :lmao: ). Japan Broadcasting Channel ("JBC") scouts her to revive their floundering ratings, and offers her a hefty deal. Meanwhile, someone from JBC's Variety Department gets transferred to the more serious News Department--Hiromi Nagase (Fukuyama). These two conflicting personalities clash.

Preview of the first episode:

Did a round or two of googling "Steel Angel Kurumi Pure", but nothing came up :( , just a mention that "Pure" exists and is the live-action version of SAK, and other questions of whether or not it's subbed, licensed, or anything else :hmm: .

Anyways, after seeing all eleven episodes of Bijo ka Yajuu, it's nice to see that the romance between the two lead characters† is more subtle, considering it would have been a definite pen-in-company-ink issue if it wasn't XD .

† …and no, the romance does not involve incest, robots, maids, or lesbians :lmao: . Although, in one episode IIRC, there was a slight slashability between the cute weathergirl Yukino and the chief producer Tamiya/Takamiya. The awkwardness of the same almost-boyfriend adds to the awesome XD .
