What a satisfying ending for our two leads!! The little episode they had with each other on the train was absolutely adorable. Who would have known Takumi is that person Yoriko is fated to love lol. I love the two kid actors so much - I wish they had had more scenes together as T&Y it would hav...

zooey

Thanks to a double release, I finally caught up. Episode 8 despite being sad, had lots of sweet, touching moments. Call me crazy but I think it's because Yoriko and Takumi were so vocal about their dismissal of love and romance that's why that box of chocolates never exchanged hands. As for episode ...

zooey

@ yanie - Thanks for the heads up. From the sound of it, anything can happen by this series' end. I think I'll just sit back and wait for your next episode update. Lol. I kinda want it to go a certain way (being a T :heart: Y shipper) but I've just about given up trying to guess which direction the ...

[quote="yanie"]Picture from Ep9 or 10, I think. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/yanie/takuyori9_zps88oar8sy.jpg LOL! I love their faces! Not sure whose wedding this is... hm? Sotaro? Takumi's mom and dad get married again? lol, I have no idea. But if this is toward the end, then I c...

This drama is such a pleasant surprise. Usually I steer clear of this genre because often the execution is so poor and the overacting so frequent that it makes for an unfunny and unintelligent show. But this is comedy done right. The writing doesn't just slap us with these two characters and beg us...

I'm a fan of HaseHiro's acting skill since Kaseifu no Mita. Actually Takumi is not much different than his "dame otousan" role in Mita. Also in Suzuki-sensei, he already played 2 different personalities there, the cool and smart side and his pervert side. What I'm surprised with, was when...

ITA. I didn't like Anne's type of beauty, I never watch her dramas, cause I don't like her face, she looks arrogant to me. I know, right? Couldn't wrap my head around the idea of her being a "classic beauty". I've seen her in some dramas but she was far from being a favorite. I could unde...

zooey

But I wonder if his speech is just an excuse, he was talking about how being at-home-dad is a respectable job, but I never saw him doing any house chores helping his mom, at home lol. Hahaha. True, in all likelihood, it was just part of his spiel but I think he's slowly realizing that he has to ear...

zooey

@hey9 - I don't think that the Mom is necessarily mean. She's actually a manifestation of the voice inside Yoriko's head, chiding herself. And since she probably lost her Mom at an early age and has held her in such high regard, her "conversations" with her mother is also a representation ...

After a promising start, this drama nosedived HARD. It's Shitsuren Chocolatier all over again! :( I really hope, that the show will make a comeback Awww, I hated Shitsuren Chocolatier with a fire of a thousand suns. I dropped this series after episode 3 but couldn't resist checking in on this threa...

I really love Gackt and have been a fan of him since 2003 but his acting was baaad, that fall in episode 7 made me laugh so hard! That was really funny. He fell face forward and his legs plopped up for a moment. And who time travels with newspaper clippings in a box? You also have to admire his ing...

zooey

Finally mustered up enough interest to watch episode 3. I still think the show's giving us an incomplete picture since we only see things from the point of view of Hanae when it comes to the relationship. So far, I've gathered that Yuto is kind and gentle, what's more he just gave a girl he's been s...

Me no like Karina. I'm kind of picky on the actress too. Somehow, I have to like both the actor and actress to enjoy the drama. :mrgreen: Didn't like Karina before but she wasn't so bad in Love Shuffle. I implore you to reconsider. What can I say after ep 3. Mou ii ya, tsukareta. Koi ga maroboshi d...

zooey

zooey: To be honest, I'm also kinda scratching my head wondering what Hanae saw in Yuto as well. I mean, just because he's pretty much the first one in the last 10 years to explicitly show any sort of interest in her? And of course, doing the nice stuff for her birthday and whatnot... but that does...

zooey

My problem with Yuto now is that I don't know why he's interested in Hanae, and why he'd take her to a hotel if he even sensed that she's inexperienced. Also, Fukushi Sota has just two expressions - bland and bug-eyed. Exactly. As of now, we have no idea what made him stay with her, much less take ...

zooey

Yuto... ehh. Marginally improved, Still don't see his appeal, but he's less annoying than Hitomi. I do hope we learn more about Yuto otherwise it won't be much of a competition with people favoring Yu---dare I say because he's played by Tamaki? Tamaki Hiroshi sure knows how to make use of his limit...

zooey

I said I would try to watch this series with an open mind. I saw the first episode yesterday and I'm not really compelled to go any further (but will eventually finish it anyway). So time travel is possible in 2020, huh? Just wondering why is it that only Kuroki Meisa's character seems to have a rec...

zooey

Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu is based on a manga, which is not yet finished. As far as I know, the manga is more about the romance between Hanae and Yuto, but it seems the dorama has upped Yu's screentime, which is a good thing because I find Yuto pretty bland. So far it doesn't look like the horror t...

After watching ep 1 raw, I knew I had to get some serious Tamaki dosage... Haha. Same here. I figured Jiken Kyuumei might do the trick. I saw the first ep and will probably give the series a try since I haven't seen any dramas of this genre lately. Is this based on a manga? Because I'm deathly afra...

zooey

Oh wow. What was that? I wasn't that surprised with who she ended up with (even though admittedly, I was shipping the other dude more than the supposed OTP) but I didn't like the way the writer handled it. They crammed everything in one episode to the point that I feel like I flushed 10 hours of my ...

zooey

I don't know, I wasn't a big fan of this episode. They just keep us hanging regarding the Chiyoko and Hiroto relationship. Nothing was really solved here. And are they really brother and sister? The paper might say so..... but if it is true, then their relationship has loads of incesty-vibes going ...

zooey

haha, you're right, it's Sakai who is too old. But I'm thinking he's gonna fit Emonnosuke's role (in the movie sequel, Tsunayoshi-hen) so much... so I'm guessing he was casted as Emonnosuke first, then since the characters in the manga says Emonnosuke resembles Arikoto alot, he was casted as Arikot...

I just watched Ep.1 and as the anime fan, I'd have to say... unexpectedly, I LOVE IT! :cheers: xxx xxx xxx I really can watch the first episode over and over. Can't wait for next week!

Kazzymon got it. It is from Real Clothes.

Okay, here it goes. I hope someone gets this quickly to keep the game moving.

Hint 1 : It's a fall jdorama.

On the last chapter of Ryu Murakami's "Popular Hits of the Showa Era"-- a quick read, very kooky. Might check out the movie version after that.

Hmm... low ratings. Saru Lock, maybe?

If you're looking for reviews or feedback from those who've seen it, you might want to try searching for "Ooku (2010)" or its alternate English title "The Lady Shogun and Her Men". Personally, I found the movie a bit so-so. The thing followed the first volume of the Fumi Yoshinag...

zooey

Correct! Was about to write down Hint # 4 : It's a television remake of a Korean movie... but you got it already.

zooey

Nope, sorry. Not Tokkyu Tanaka 3-Go.

Hint #3: The said drama or rather SP (to be exact) stars two people from JE.

zooey

Hint 1 : It's a jdrama
Hint 2 : It has a character who loves trains, cream puffs and rainbows.

I hope that helps. Hint #2 might be a dead giveaway.

Might be too easy but here it goes.

Just saw this recently and despite the bad story-telling and the plot holes, I found its overall concept to be quite interesting. I know this comes a bit late but for what it's worth, here's my own take on the series --

Haha, I guess I wasn't the only one who thought about Dexter, especially at the last scene on the first episode. :P Dexter is my favorite show.

But yes, that pattern sells so they keep using it. Then there's things like "Beethoven Virus". It does have the down on her luck woman and the sophisticated man but it's not a romantic series and after a certain point, they completely brush off her character and focus on other things. AND...

Don Juan Kim, a smart, sophisticated, goodlooking, rich, playboy/doctor/politician/businessman :lol That was funny. Though I have to say that the guy in "Vineyard Man" doesn't really strike me as the sophisticated type. He doesn't own a vineyard, he tends to one. It's the girl who's a clo...

Filipino dramas can be very draggy, especially when the drama rakes a good ratings, the station opts to stretch out the plot as far as they can just to keep the show on air but some can be very good too, especially if the cast are really good in their roles.

The morals of the story: don't worry if your dream guy doesn't like you and thinks you're ugly and stupid; if you stay in close proximity to him for years, he'll start to think of you as a part the scenery and thus "like" you since it would be weird without you. DItto! Proximity is the ki...

The only one I can think of where it does a 180 on you is Peach Girl (Taiwanese drama). Dream guy versus supportive buddie.

There will be no season 2 to my knowledge. Just some Special episode with old and new scenes. The thing about this show was: EVERYONE WAS INCOMPETENT. From the Police to the Assassins. The Police can't seem to do their job right even with their lack of resources and the assassins can't ever seem to...

zooey

From last season's roster... I'd have to say "FLOWERS FOR MY LIFE". It's well-written, funny and quirky. Plus, the melodrama isn't drawn out like other dramas working on the same premise. It may not have the romantic flair or the frenetic draw to marathon all episodes at one go like its co...

I can't say I have a favorite because I always enjoy his performances but I liked him as Ueda in Trick and the title character in Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (heavy on the sarcasm and deadpan delivery of punchlines).

@ kao-chin -- Ooh thanks for the movie tip. I should go check that out. I think Abe has range, I have no doubt he can play any kind of role convincingly. And there's something about him that gives off that "cool-danger vibe" which allows him to play an antagonist/antihero. Like toshiro mif...

This actor is so wild, and I think that his best performance so far was in the Trick series. I think that he really deserves some international recognition.

I'm really swayed now.
