Re: Skip Beat!
Well, it's a stark truth of the acting world (the director's word is law), which Kyouko has to learn, but I feel the director is being foolish.
If he tells her to just do Mio when her evil scene come up, then when the show starts airing people will just accuse it of being a copycat.
(ugh, it makes me think of how George Lucas took a bunch of perfectly good actors in episodes I,II, and III and made them perform such wooden drivel)
That said, I wonder if the new girl (forgot her name already), will steal the role from Kyouko, since she seems to have the "normal girl with a dark side" personality as her norm.
