Oh, yes, Ryoko-chan, you are right about Yosuke! I am really curious how things will work out: it seems we have two love triangles, with Ogata as a common point between them Will he be the one left out in the end?!
I just loved the part about the Murakami couple!! They were sooo cute! That was wonderful acting from the two actors: their surprise and childlike happiness at the wedding-anniversary ceremony made me smile through tears all the time!!
It's great how they are getting help from people like this couple and the client Ogata saved nearer the beginning! It's like a perfect illustration to a Romanian proverb: "Bine faci, bine găseşti" ("Do good, and you will find good")!
About "the twist", Ryoko-chan, you were so right: Mizusawa's mom married Mr Odagiri. It's so sad, though, for him to find out that both his parents had died... Not to speak about the evil crazy "something else" that he found out!! But by now I'm quite sure it'll be like we worked it out Please God let it be so!
Who else loves Komoto Masahiro as Kikuchi?! He's sooo good! I particularly love the way he rolls his eyes and leaves the scene whenever he feels Mizusawa's about to display some more of his affections towards Kyoko!!
Oh, and grrrrr that bad, bad Iwama I just hate him and that Goto woman! Contrarywise, Ueda-sempai totally won me over in this episode!! She has hidden talents! Never expected her to know how to play the organ!
Ah, and Ms Morimoto's-Right-Hand? Or should I say Guardian Dragon? I think Morimoto's just lost her, with that horrible, horrible slap. Say bye-bye, Morimoto, you've now got a fearsome enemy right by your side!!! At least, I hope he does!
All in all, I have no idea how I'll be able to wait for the next episode! I held out so long for this one in hopes I might watch it with my own imouto tonight but she can come over only on Friday... That only means I'll watch it again then!

The love triangles are lots of fun in this one. I don't really feel much coming from the Ogata character in either triangle so far though. I feel he gives more emotional investment in the Ogata/Kyoko/Mizusawa triangle than he does in the Ogata/Akane/Yosuke one. Though Akane shows a lot of feelings for him in the second triangle, he just doesn't seem to have her on his radar so far. Han Tae Jun seems to be a stronger competition for Shin Dong Hyuk in the little I've seen of the kversion, so I'm strill trying to place my feelings for the Ogata character. I think I still ship OgataXHotel.
The Murakami couple was adorable. They were so like kids in love! I especially loved her throwing the bouquet and how the pair of them were so giggly. And Mizusawa stealing longing glances at Kyoko was just the icing on the cake in that scene. It seems Ogata's good deeds are really repaid!
You're right about Komoto Masahiro! Kikuchi has really been winning me over in this series. I love how he can be so annoyed at Mizusawa, but when "Boss" is really troubled he's silently concerned too. And I cracked up when Mizusawa refered to him as "that disagreeable fellow" during the cold medicine scene early in the series. Komoto Masahiro is so good at the subtle details.
Iwama is evil!!! I do like Ueda standing up to him and Goto. She's probably the only person I don't remember Iwama talking back to, as well. Ueda's got a strong character like Kyoko, so it's great when she speaks her mind. I was grinning when I saw her playing the keyboard at the wedding. So cute!
And I really hope that Morimoto's assistant does stick it to him but good somewhere in the final episodes. He's horrible to her and Akane. How many women has he slapped so far in this series?

Shin Dong Hyuk and Mizusawa Keigo?! Let's hope never ever in our whole lives we won't have to choose between the likes of them!!! At least I do! Send over just one of them, oh heavens!

Sure! Welcome aboard! What shall we call our mighty ship then? How 'bout

Ho-gata?!
I'm kinda loopy since I stayed up to watch the newest episode after downloading. I don't think I'll actually manage any nearly intelligent comments until I've had a chance to sleep on it, but about episode 7:
Hidden:
Holy crap, it really was the knife episode! Three knives with prominent roles in this week's action. And Mizusawa really does have the d*mndest luck when it comes to knives, doesn't he? LOL I think he deserves some icon love on that subject!
Looking forward to Kyoko's reaction to this week's cliffhanger already. These episodes just feel way too short! Can't believe there's just one left...

airskape, I think I might now what you're saying... but could it be that there's something you don't like about Ogata as a character or rather about Tanabe Seiichi the actor? For me it may be a bit more of the latter... He's a very good actor, though. I've only seen him in Kimi wa Petto before, but I wasn't a big fan of his in that series either... I don't know, there's something about his mouth or something...
I like Ogata as a character but again, not wholly. Did anyone else cringe as I did when he hit Odagiri on her shoulder with his notebook to get her attention while she was running (in ep 6 I think)?
About ep 7...
Hidden:
It's too painful to see Mizusawa so tortured... Why didn't Ogata put him right when he heard his confession? I guess it might be because Mizusawa seemed so sure, and he said "real sister"... Maybe Ogata didn't ask the details, but he should have!!! *** you Ogata, what are you trying to do? Steal Odagiri for yourself?!?!
I like Kikuchi-san and Ms Guardian Dragon more and more And Iwama less and less... hope he's got it coming...
Goodness me, can't believe there's only one episode left!! Besides having all those threads to end nicely (let's hope?! ), there's also a new character... and somehow she doesn't look like good news...

now that you mention it, i think its just something about tanabe himself..lol
theres only one more ep left? ahh..i didnt know it was such a short series..i wonder whats in store for the finale..
this is what i think
Hidden:
seems a little predictable but it goes something like this..
either mizusawa backs out of the deal with morimoto to take over the hotel or morimoto just drops the take over completely since the hotel is going down in value due to the selling of the tennis court and the other thing i cant remember atm
i dont think odagiri will end up with anyone. but i think she will make up with mizusawa and just be friends (or siblings? lol)
akane will most likely end up working at the hotel
possible that the president may die..and then ogata becomes president of the hotel..
maybe a few other things ive missed but thats the jist of it..
so yea..in the end nothing will actually happen to the hotel or staff

Hmmm.....
Hidden:
Is it really possible after Mizusawa has been saying over and over again (at least once per episode I think ) that he is going on with the takeover, that he will back out of the deal?! I can't bring myself to think it.
I do hope that all that thinking he's been doing means that he's got a brilliant plan up his sleeve to both save the hotel and give Morimoto what he deserves.
Please don't say the President wil die!! I'm a Ho-gata shipper together with ryoko-chan, but I think he is much-much happier as a General Manager than he would be as a President. He is much too involved, he won't be able just to sit at his desk and preside
And if Odagiri ends up alone and not with Mizusawa, I'll be too sad.

On the subject of Ogata, I've also been trying to decide if my problems with him are more about the character or the actor. I didn't mind him so much in Kimi Wa Petto, and he did a good job in the episode of Bengoshi no Kuzu that he did. (Kinda funny since he was a househusband whose wife considered him a pet. LOL) Ogata is by far my least favorite role, and while the character is generally a good person I just don't like him. I think for me the biggest issue I have with Ogata is the fact that he has about zero personality. He plays like a device instead of a character, and there is nothing that gives me an emotional connection to who Ogata is supposed to be. He's this workaholic, self-effacing Hotelier with no developed outside interests (unless you count his tepid attraction to Kyoko). He doesn't emote the type of emotions that a man working so hard to save a business should or a man struggling with an unspoken love that's slipping through his fingers. He never even shows frustration.
Hidden:
Look at how calmly he tore down the retrenchment lists. Shouldn't he be at least a bit angry that Iwama is working against him and trying to usurp his position? That someone is causing this much agitation for his staff? That Mizusawa is coming in screwing with everything that's important to him? It's just not human.
He's never been passionate in any of the roles I've seen, but this is downright robotic. So I'm left trying to decide if Ogata's so flat because they cast Tanabe Seichi, or if they cast Tanabe Seichi because Ogata's so flat. Chicken or the egg?

I like Kikuchi-san and Ms Guardian Dragon more and more And Iwama less and less... hope he's got it coming...
Hidden:
I've been theorizing on this one, and I have three options for Ogata's silence:
1. The possibility that Mizusawa's insistance could be based on half-*ssed information might not have occured to Ogata, and thus overriddeng his commonsense and memory. (Mizusawa even told him his mother had married Mr. Odagiri! Duh!)
2. He destroyed so many braincells during his 2 year bender in Seoul that he honestly forgot that Kyoko said her parents weren't her real parents.
3. He's taken advantage of the opening to get a chance with Kyoko. (least likely, imo)
At present I'm going with number 2, because Ogata's bender was his greatest moment as a character anyhow.
Kikuchi was great in this one when he was chastizing Mizusawa about how he'd treated Kyoko. I loved how he looked like he wanted to intervene and his discomfort at the situation.
And hooray for the Guardian Dragon too! Though I wouldn't have minded her being a bit less magnanimous and a bit more angry at the boss.

comment on epi7. not much to see...
Hidden:
(thought mizusawa's a little mean to odagiri, but then he just found out the girl he's inlove with his sister, bummer..) hopefully not true, i cant wait to see kyoko's reaction to it, tho it looked like she didnt believe it at first, so curious to see that conversation b/n her and mizusawa...
and i wonder bout odagiri's health if she really fainted cuz of exhaustion or there's sumthing more to it... and regarding the president it'd be nice to see her live in this version....
