Code Blue's ratings drop to 16%!

(Source: Widegeinou) The Thursday night FujiTV dorama starring Yamapi, Toda Erika and Aragaki Yui raked in 21.2% in viewer's ratings for its first episode, but its second episode saw a fall in ratings to 16%. Netizens online have been blaming the drop on a "mis-cast" of characters, saying that the actors and actresses are too young.

In reality, it is said that the flight doctor cadets that they are playing are supposed to be in their late 20s or 30s, and that the actors have not been able to portray that level of maturity. (Toda Erika is 19, Aragaki Yui 20 and Yamapi 23.)

There were also complaints about Aragaki Yui's hairstyle; her fringe is said to be a nuisance for any real doctor trying to do his/her job.

[Code Blue] Press Conference

(Source: Sanspo) Yamapi's (23) new dorama Code Blue starts airing tonight (Thursdays 10pm) in Japan! The official press conference was held yesterday , 2nd July, at Tokyo FM Hall and this is the only photo released by Sanspo. As expected, Johnny Kitagawa has deprived fans of photos of Yamapi, so we're only left with Aragaki Yui(20) in her trademark long shapeless dress outfit. Code Blue also stars Erika Toda(19), better known as Amane Misa from Death Note (haha, at least to me).
