absolutely amazing. the chemistry between tsumabuki satoshi and shibasaki kou as kai and sae was undeniably strong. this drama made me cry, smile, and really hit close to home because it touches upon many themes that i see around me in everyday life... i highly recommend it. :)
Pride [プライド]
Wow. This drama is amazing. The story, the chemistry, and the realism of the characters' flaws is simply undeniable.

Akanishi Jin [赤西仁]
call me a fangirl, i dont care. he's the sweetest thing ever.... so adorable. not only does he have the most amazing voice, his acting's not too shabby either (though i think his live performing skills > acting, i still love him in a suit so much more than in those horrific johnnys costumes). OKAERI NASAI, JIN!!~
Hiraoka Yuuta [平岡祐太]
Kimura Takuya [木村拓哉]
he should forever and ever remain #1 because he is the most charismatic, charming, and versatile actor i've EVER SEEN. he is the best!! <3
Matsuda Shota [松田 翔太]
Awesome :D
Matsumoto Jun [松本潤]
fell for him in gokusen, extremely touched in kwp, and absolutely amazed by his performance in hana yori dango. he completely makes the character come alive every time... he's rising to the top!!! <3
Nagase Tomoya [長瀬智也]
OMG he is just such a good actor. he made me laugh so hard in MBMH that i seriously couldnt breathe!! but he's really great in serious roles too. <3
Takeuchi Yuko [竹内結子]
she's a wonderful, very believable actress.
Tamayama Tetsuji [玉山鉄二]
he's so underrated! i absolutely adore him in brother beat!!! he is the perfect aniki figure, and his acting is superb. not to mention, he is absolutely drop dead gorgeous.... XD
Tsumabuki Satoshi [妻夫木聡]
his performance in orange days was beyond touching. really down to earth and SO real. he can definitely deliver all different types of characters extremely well. i'm totally impressed!

I absolutely LOVED this drama. It was really original (though also on the predictable side after an episode or two), and was also just an adorable, feel-happy show... Nakamie Yukie does a great job, and Jun's performance as sawada was quite good as well. While I did get irritated at Yankumi for taking so darn long to get in there and help her students sometimes, I can overlook that. I've watched this dorama SO many times, with so many diff people, and I still love it every single time. This drama is what brought me to the jdorama world, and for that I am grateful. :)
Gokusen 2 [ごくせん2]
Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
I watched this drama with low expectations (after all that I had heard from people that the sequel wasn't really worth watching) but it still captivated me, somewhat. Maybe I just like cheesy storylines. But either way, although the storyline was similar at times to the original Gokusen and although the story is, as a whole, very predictable, I really liked Jin's and Kame's performances. *edit* After rewatching this show a few too many times, I just want to say... that this show does derive its popularity and awesomeness from Akame. But that's okay. Because Akame is love. Okay. That's all. <3

As expected of Kimutaku, another great drama. Not one of my VERY favorites of his, but I do like it. Being that I'm a frequent flyer, this really hit close to home. Parts were a bit slow and others went a bit TOO fast but the last episode was really amazing.

Gokusen [ごくせん]
LOVED IT!!! [Rating: 10/10]
this show was sooo great!! it was an adorable, feel-happy show... def boosted my mood if i was ever upset!! and jun's performance as sawada was INCREDIBLE... especially the ending (i wont say anything) but my heart was just like AHHH!!! <3 i LOVED IT!!!
Gokusen 2 [ごくせん2]
exceeded expectations [Rating: 8/10]
I watched this drama with low expectations (after all that I had heard from people that the sequel wasn't really worth watching) but it still captivated me, somewhat. Maybe I just like cheesy storylines. But either way, although the storyline was similar at times to the original Gokusen and although the story is, as a whole, very predictable, I really liked Jin's and Kame's performances. They were great! Nakama Yukie was amazing as Yankumi, as usual. :) And though I wish Sawada could have come back and made a camio, I was really happy Kuma was there ^^
Hana Yori Dango [花より男子]
loooove at first sight ^^ [Rating: 10/10]
i absolutely LOVE this show!! the f4 are great, dom's wardrobe is a bit quirky but he does make a fashion statement... of course i first i was really excited to see jun as domyouji but it has become so much more than that... i love shun as rui, i love the f2 sidekicks... inoue mao is adorable, and jun's performance is simply amazing- his acting has stepped up to a completely new level! this drama has surpassed my expectations... for them to compact hana yori dango into 9 episodes seemed impossible, but it worked!! i hope there will be a special :)
Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙]
a tearjerker but worth it to the last tear [Rating: 10/10]
this drama was bound to be depressing right from the outset, but i kept on watching every week just to stay in touch with the progression of aya's disease. it was a very shocking and different kind of sad drama because it focused a lot on the physical aspects of the disease, as it worsened in each episode. it also placed a lot of emphasis on the family's interactions and the family's reactions to aya's conditions... superb acting by all. sawajiri erika deserves more than just praise for her convincing portrayal of the strong-willed aya, and nishikido ryo amazed me in his role of haruto, the seemingly brooding boy who becomes a close confidante and more than just a friend of aya's. but i think that seeing how aya's family acted that caused me to cry in so many episodes... i wouldn't be surprised if i cried more than one litre of tears. but it's so worth it. the fact that this story is based on a true story makes this drama even more of a must-watch... seeing the pictures and quotes from the real aya's story at the end of each episode was... really overwhelmingly powerful.
Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース]
more than just a typical school drama! [Rating: 10/10]
this drama is completely different from what i had expected... through the episodes, the themes have become deeper, and the friendship between shuji, akira, and nobuta is one that i will always remember. :) kame's acting has improved so much in thsi compelling drama, and yamapi is so perfect as the crazy akira. maki is adorably cute in her role as the quiet nervous girl... nobuta power, chuunyuu!

Summer snow
really touching [Rating: 10/10]
i knew while watching this drama that it'd become one of my favorites, and it definitely didn't let me down in the end. this drama is so real, its messages really got across... it really brought out the emotions in me that were stagnant at the time, and was more touching than i can describe. although it was a little slow in some parts (around the middle-almost the end), i would recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for a drama to watch, i would recommend it to people who don't even like watching dramas... i'd recommend it to everybody!! watch this dorama!!
