| 2. | Comments by yume [Rating: 7/10] After rewatching this in depth, it's got the elements of mystery, comedy, lack of self-esteem turned motivation, and an underlining dating story. However, the bulk of this show is about law and about the desire to become a lawyer--sounds boring, right? BUT IT'S NOT. If you like figuring out cases and fast-paced thinking, go for this straight-forward drama. |
| 3. | Comments by atheon [Rating: 8/10] Jan 2004: I will give this 8.5 marks. I think that yasuko and shinichi could make a great couple, their acting is superb!! Ppl who will watch this in bm sub, i think they will have a hard time....i really enjoyed this show, learned a lot about law. |
| 4. | Comments by Golgo_13 [Rating: 7/10] Very good looking female cast, but unless it's subtitled in English, the legal terms in Japanese are much too difficult to follow. I like it because I'm in the legal field. |
| 5. | Comments by maguro666 [Rating: 8/10] Nice.. remind me of Hero. some may find it too overloaded with legal stuff though.. but I don't mind that and really like it. |
| 6. | Comments by vash_donutangel [Rating: 9/10] :} I laughed my ass off. |
| 7. | Comments by kaka [Rating: 6/10] interesting.. |
| 8. | Comments by wai [Rating: 10/10] Very good~! One of the better law dramas i've watched. :) |
| 9. | Comments by emiko [Rating: 9/10] Uhh..the ending fits well with the title.Nice story about the friendship between 8 people trying to pursue their dreams.I especially love every scenes when all 8 of them were together and discuss about their homeworks/cases; most of the funniest scenes in this serial come from there ~ Although some terms are rather hard to understand/follow but it didn't kill my interest to keep watching Beginner through the end.Very motivating~! |
| 10. | Comments by freeze [Rating: 8/10] Make me remember our group study when at University years ago (なつかしい) |
| 11. | Comments by natni [Rating: 8/10] joe is so sweet......love him....ok drama..... |
| 12. | Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 8/10] Saikou! I think this show is soo funny! I think the first disc and the ending is bad. So it only got 8/10. But i love the Tsutsumi-Matsuyuki pair!! Like never seen before! Tsutsumi and Matsuyuki are soo comical inside despite the fact they both gave such cold attitude toward others. The cases are really interesting but a little hard to catch sometimes (due to the many technical terms). What is most important in this show is the relationship that developed when they got together. |
| 13. | Comments by juliana_phang [Rating: 5/10] Amazingly boring.. |
| 14. | Comments by kinki_txr [Rating: 6/10] Not bad however when they talk law, the translation does not really explains well about it.Overall an enjoyable drama. |
| 15. | Comments by Geezer [Rating: 5/10] I didn't see it with subtitles, so it's rough to say how good it might have been. |
| 16. | Comments by masnita [Rating: 8/10] Very interesting storyline. |

| 25. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: ?/10] watching |
| 26. | Comments by aik0 [Rating: 8/10] TEAMPLAY. One legal case study per ep. Mimura is sharp. Great chemistry between the characters. |
| 27. | Comments by harshaz [Rating: 7/10] good n sometime entertaining .. i wish there's more rabu-rabu coz joe is very cute when it came to 'that' .. heh heh |
| 28. | Comments by investone [Rating: 8/10] i have avi files |
| 29. | Comments by hummer [Rating: 10/10] This drama is super awesome. I loved it. Of course it was fast paced, and after every episode, I thank my lucky stars that I'm fluent in Chinese and can read the Chinese *fast* since they seem to fly by with difficult law-related vocabulary. But the law cases were very interesting, and in one particular episode, it was heart-wrenchingingly sad as I cried my eyes out. But the characters were entirely loveable and realistic. The only flaw I can point out is that there wasn't enough *chemistry* between the main character, Kaede, and... shoot.. I forgot his name... Well.. the main character and the character that was played by Joe. It just felt 70% of the sparks were coming from her than him, and there were more feelings of admiration than feelings of romance from him... On the other hand, the chemistry between Shinichi and Yasuko's characters was just... spectacular. They were awesome together... Oh. And one more thing. Sometimes Mimura's smile can get a little scary. Or maybe it's just me. 0.o |
| 30. | Comments by jarofclay [Rating: 10/10] very witty/funny/entertaining/moving drama! |
| 31. | Comments by xhidex33 [Rating: 8/10] It's pretty good~ A dorama about law and the relationship between the characters... very funny. |
| 32. | Comments by iez [Rating: 9/10] it's quite nice....got comedy, mystery and absolutely suits for those who ambitiously to become a lawyer (me?) hehehe....loves the chemistry between Yasuko-Shinichi as well |
| 33. | Comments by celery [Rating: 8/10] Interesting and can guess who is the criminal when the casts discussed about the crime in the show. Odagiri is having a "bad hair" day in this drama. But still a cool and funny guy. |
| 34. | Comments by Q-chan [Rating: 9/10] A very great court dorama... Lots of interesting cases. Love ODAGIRI JOE!!! |
| 35. | Comments by cirrus [Rating: 7/10] this drama is way better than i expected. the characters inside were all very interesting and their different backgrounds made this show more all-rounded. |
| 36. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 7/10] Very interesting combination of cast in this drama which brings out the normalised everyday situation upfront. Can watch this if there's no interesting drama around. |
| 37. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 7/10] COMPLETE. 8 law students grouped together and try to solve some law problem given in class together. nice. I like their different personality and the fact they blend well together despite that. |
