Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I hate why I didn't watch this back in college...I would've worked harder for the board exams the way they did in this drama.. This is inspiring in the sense that it makes you want to go back to school -- even when you've already graduated. haha. | Engine [エンジン] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) the kids are so cute! i liked this drama because it revolves around several distinct characters and life stories. i want to have my own "kaze no home". | GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) definitely cool...haha..onizuka sensei teaches you a lot of lessons you don't learn inside the classroom but you have to be in school to learn them..some of the scenes are so CORNY but those are the things that makes GTO a requisite watch for every aspiring dorama fanatic. you just have to watch it. |
H2~Kimi to itahibi [2〜君といた日々] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Wow! I don't exactly know why I got hooked to this drama. It doesn't star superpower actors/actresses but the casting was great and they played their part really well. It's one of those drama that's not too emotional yet you get touched by the scenes once in a while. I'm looking forward to more of Ishihara Satomi.:D | Hachimitsu to Kuroba [ハチミツとクローバー] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) a story about friendship and love. i don't really know what i particularly like about this drama but overall, it just captured me and made me want for more. hehe. | Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Way better than the Taiwanese counterpart. I love Inoue (Tsukushi!)!!! |
Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I liked this better than the first season. More action (in terms of emotions between Tsukushi and Tsukasa) and you just can't wait for the next episode. | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) You want a feel good movie??! This one is for you. Very funny. Ending sucks though but it's not about the ending now, is it? hehe. | Kekkon Dekinai Otoko [結婚できない男] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It's a feel good series. The story is simple yet very entertaining. It's something you can watch when you have nothing else to do and you don't want to think much. Still worth watching. |
Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) i find the story a bit shallow...but it's fun and entertaining. | Last Friends [ラスト・フレンズ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) this one's pretty scary. i didn't want to watch the parts where sousuke beats up michiru. but seeing ueno juri made it all ok. i love her. in terms of acting skill, she's way up there. and she's so cute too, despite her being "tough" in this drama. | Liar Game [ライアーゲーム] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) At first, I thought it was a very interesting drama. I liked the whole concept behind the Liar Game but as the story progressed, I got pissed at the lead role's stupidity and the corniness of her leading man's strategies. Although I give props to the very creative solutions to problems (I tried solving them myself but couldn't), 90% of the time, I was praying this drama would end already. Being a jdrama enthusiast means having to watch the drama through till the end. Didn't get any better though.:( |
Long vacation [ロングバケーション] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) THE BEST!!! I CANNOT SAY ANY MORE! YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT. :D | Mada Koi wa Hajimaranai [まだ恋は始まらない] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) i bumped into this drama by fate. hehe. i just downloaded it without checking out what it's about. it's an old drama. more than the story, i got to appreciate how doramas have evolved in the past year. if it was already this good back then, then i'm not wondering why it's so popular these days. this drama isn't bad although it keeps you hanging most of the time. and that narrator sounds a little annoying. hehe. | Mukodono 2003 [ムコ殿2003] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A lot of people compare this to the earlier version and I don't blame them..but I haven't seen the first one so I viewed this without bias. hehe. It was not the drama I expected it to be. Very touching in many points. I loved the family he married to. The show would've even been better without Sakuraba but what can we do, he's the lead role. hehe. I loved that family. |
My Boss, My Hero [マイボスマイヒロ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) the song is stuck in my head - nan no shiken no jikan nanda....nani o sabaku hakari nanda.....hehe. :) | Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I just downloaded this drama randomly and although the first episode didn't get me hooked, i stuck through with it and watched the next episode. until i realized i was already nearing the last episode. i enjoyed this drama as it talks about high school life, where the battle between the popular and the unpopular never ends, where you find some of your life's bestfriends, where you start wondering about your purpose and the meaning behind life. made me wanna go back to high school. anyway, the only thing i didn't like about this drama was the very GAY ending scene where shuji and akira chase each other around the beach. that was so gay. hehe. my first horikita maki drama and i liked it. | Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ−レ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Oh man, I couldn't get my ass off my chair while watching this show. It's just so hilarious. Nodame is soooooooooo cute. Now I want to go back to playing the violin. |
Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) i can't explain how this dorama affects me everytime i watch it...definitely one of the best j-doramas out there!!!! | Pride [プライド] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I had fun watching this series..I'm not a big fan of Kimura Takuya but I don't regret watching this. Great soundtrack!! | Satorare [サトラレ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Downloaded randomly and did not regret it. I feel this drama is underrated. Definitely one of the best out there. Watch it!!! |
Stand UP!! Rating: 7/10 (Watched) At first, I thought this was one weird drama. They were too desperate to get laid. But towards the end, the story improved. It was fun watching this though. | Summer snow Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very touching drama...one of the best tear-jerker series out there. | Wonderful Life [ワンダフルライフ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) it took a long time for me to finish this one. the pace is a little boring. you just have to have patience to be able to enjoy watching it. not that bad though. just so so. |
