A wonderfully developed story...Don't think there was a single episode that was boring or meaningless. Definitely one of the greatest j-dramas I've ever seen in my opinion.

I couldn't get into the drama, possibly because I didn't watch the last season. Other than that, it is also a very slow and boring drama. As far as I could tell, there was not a single event in the first episode that caused any sort of plot progression. |

I really liked the interaction between KimuTaku and the kids, but that's about it. It was an enjoyable show when I just watched the parts that involved all the kids at the orphanage, but I just can't bring myself to watch the drama in its entirety (especially where KimuTaku and Koyuki pretend to be interested in each other and have "deep" conversations...eck, cheesy!) The only touchy feely part of the drama I enjoyed was when KimuTaku said goodbye to the kids in ep 8. Other than that, the funny parts are the only reason I finished this drama (after a 3 yr hiatus =P). | Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta! [エラいところに嫁いでしまった!]

I love Matsusaka Keiko, she's such an awesome actress. The plot of the drama was great sometimes, but also kind of gets old after a while. I got really sick of all the characters thinking Kimiko is so great =P The good parts of the drama are its hilarious and touching moments. The downside is that there are also A LOT of cheesy moments (eeuck). I kind of started to like the theme song, but unfortunately, I can't find anywhere to download it >.< |  Friends [フレンズ]

Ehh...Fukada Kyoko is really cute...but she also has very bad acting skills. I really cannot stand another minute of her widening her eyes and giving this "I'm so innocent, what are you talking about?" look. Also, she is probably the first Japanese actress I've seen with such heavy eye makeup on in a drama. Won Bin deserves better!! The storyline is also pretty typical; the supposedly "sad" or "touching" parts are almost comical because they are sooooo overdone and cheesy (e.g. hugging in the rain, all that Christmas light at the end). Plus, their conversations were sometimes a bit stupid 'cause one person would talk in Korean and the other would talk in Japanese. And then occassionally Fukada Kyoko would repeat what she said in Japanese in her horrible-sounding Korean. Uck! So bad and so boring, I was falling asleep half way through the drama, so glad this is short =P |

Okay, better than Meteor Garden IMO ('cause the actors can actually act for a change, tho many are not that much better) I applaud Inoue Mao's performance, I think she's really the only who stood out in the drama, all the other main characters were only so-so (...unless you count Matsushima Nanako, who was as great as usual ^^) It started great, but slowed down and became worse and worse as the story progressed. My favorite episode was the third one when Matsushima Nanako appeared ^^ I love that scene when she's talking to her little brother in his room...so funny ^o^ |

Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
I absolutely love this drama! It is definitely the best romantic comedy since Anego. The chemistry between Fujiki and Haruse was great even though, to me, they were more like family/siblings/close friends than a couple. I really wanted to see the two of them dating instead of having the show end where it did, but I also can't imagine the two of them kissing or doing other couple-y stuff...it's almost like incest >.< I think all of the cast was great in the show, except for the lack of acting by the guy who played Makoto. Good thing that he's at least ikemen =P The ending song by Aiko is also great. Just like how Kitade Nana's Kiss or Kiss fitted Anego perfectly and Every Little Thing's Swimy fitted Kekkon Dekinai Otoko perfectly, Aiko's Yokogao was great for Hotaru no Hikari. I'm really hoping that the producers will decide to make a good SP with some more plot progression....kyaaaaa! |

A bit cheesy, but overall a feel good drama. I would not like it as much if it weren't for the cute little girl. The ending is a bit unsatisfying.

Truly outstanding. Everyone did a good job acting-wise and the story moves along at a good pace (not fast, but just fast enough ^^) The story is very aptly named as I've probably cried one liter of tears by the time I finished the drama. I pretty much cried at some point or another in every episode except for the first. I also like it 'cause it concentrated on both Aya's family, friends, and love life, unlike Sekai No Chuushin which mostly only concentrated on the main character's love life. It's a truly inspirational story that I'd recommend to everyone. |  Iryu 2 [医龍 2]

I think it's hard for me to get into this drama since I haven't watch the first season or read the manga.

Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
Went off to a great start, but the whole series was a bit anticlimatic because it had such an amazing start to the series. After the earthquake and everything was finally a bit in order, the story became quite boring. Initially, there are a few episodes that are true tear-jerkers, but after a while, it just wasn't touching anymore. However, they did really well in staying with the overall theme of coping with a major disaster, and I guess it couldn't be helped that it was anticlimatic if the story was meant to show people's strength in overcoming the problems in the aftermath of the disaster. It is also worth mentioning that this series is not as cheesy as Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 2 were in some episodes. Nonetheless, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of a great ending. Also, I'm a bit fan of Matsushima Nanako and has admired Eguchi Yosuke's previous works, but they didn't really shine in this drama. If anyone, it's the young ones that acted well and really showed a depth of character. I think it is mostly the script writer's problem tho. He/she should've further develop the character of Kojima and Shindo rather than just having them as being the "cool" doctors that always knew what to do and was calm and collected. So, all in all, a pretty good drama, but I had higher expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if most j-drama lover's find this to be boring after the first two episodes. |
 Last Christmas [ラストクリスマス]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
Pretty much just a funny, cute, heart-warming romantic comedy that had a typical "happily-ever-after" ending. Some of it was a bit cliche, but I really like how the two main characters were able to trust each other when they were in love, whereas in a typical romance drama, the two main characters would develop a series of misunderstandings about each other through the whole drama and kept the audience frustrated for their stupidity >.< It's kind of bad, but I got hooked onto Oda Yuji's version of Last Christmas, it's just too catchy, even though he has a bit of a Japanese accent =P (not as bad as when he talks in English tho) |  Last Friends [ラスト・フレンズ]

I'm kind of torn. It was good sometimes but horrible at other times. I love the whole concept but I suppose it could've been executed better.

A pretty good drama for a mediocre cast. It was one of those dramas that kept you entertained while watching, but would not make you want to watch it over and over again. I think if it wasn't for the shock factor of the story and the shortness of each episode, I wouldn't have watched till the end. And a plus (for the male audience) is the shortness of the girls' skirts. Those definitely seem a bit too short to be within regulations... |

This really would have a much lower rating if it wasn't for the fact that it is a Conan movie. Sadly, I don't think any main character in this drama special can act (particularly Oguri Shun), which contributed to the entire downfall of the drama.

Wow...this was a truly captivating drama. I finished this in one day, too. Very fast paced with lots twists in the plot...the muderer I guessed about halfway 2/3 of the way through the drama tho. It also got me thinking a lot about humanity and family values...ending made me cry like crazy. Also really liked the soundtrack although I think they probably should've just used the original American version of the ending song 'cause the Japanese guy has really bad pronunciation. I was also impressed by Takenouchi's English; he certainly had an accent, but he probably has the best English I've heard from any Japanese person by far =P I was a bit disappointed by the guy who plays Johnny tho; it's a bit weird when your character is black and was raised in America but speaks worse English than a Japanese character in the story (Takenouchi).....but that probably didn't matter to the majority of the Japanese audience =P Last note: really like the title of the series, very meaningful and thought-provoking ^.^ |

Pretty good, reeeeeally funny, but is lacking substance (as most high school dramas seem to do) There are some very special moments/scenes in this series that I will remember forever (like when Akira teaches Nobuko the "Nobuko Power chuunyu" scene, when Akira breaks a stack of stone blocks to warn Shuuji, and when Akira tells Nobuko that her hands are not dirty and puts one on his cheek) but the storyline/plot is mostly just okay. My favorite scenes all have to do with Akira, I think =P Yamapi is so cute in this series...I never used to like him much, but I'm liking him much more now that I've fallen in love with his character in this drama.

Have only watched three episodes so far, but every episode has been a tear-jerker. Although Ruri was a brat in the beginning, gradually she became more and more likeable as she's accepted by the people of Hatomijima and finds people who truly care about her. Sometimes, the whole "love will conquer all" theme is a bit cliche, but for the most part, they did a great job ^.^ I'm also liking Takenouchi Yukata's little side story, which I'm actually more interested in than the main plot =P Especially after that scene where he runs into Sanae Sensei (Konishi Manami) and he looks up, and the audience and Sanae Sensei can see that he's been crying >.< Oh my god, Takenouchi Yukata is CRYING!!!

I was especially impressed with the ending...my favorite part was when bits of the grown-up life of Tomoyo, Ohki, and Bozu were shown...it was those moments that had me smiling amidst the tears that just wouldn't stop =P (ESPECIALLY memorable is the part with Ohki saying to his son "You can do whatever you like OMAE-SAN, just don't go to Yumejima with a girl you like" while the camera focuses in on the photo Ohki took of Saku and Aki asleep on the beach of Yumejima...gave me butterflies in my stomach *shudders*) | sekushii boisu ando robo [セクシーボイスアンドロボ]

Wow...I crown this drama to be the best I've ever seen. The cast was great; all of them had superb acting skills. It helps, of course, that Shinohara Ryoko is the lead actress. Her other drama Anego is probably my second-favorite drama of all time. I loved the interaction between her and Kato Masaya, who also appeared in Anego. And the little girl is absolutely adorable!!! As for the story development, the plot was intense and mind-boggling, yet it all seemed to make sense at the end. Not to be cliche, but definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time (or more like curled up in my chair for fear that the murderer will jump out the next second). Also, excellent ending song by Ito Yuna. I think the reason why I couldn't stop crying at the end was partly due to the ending and partly due to the lyrics of Ito's song. Definitely a must see!!!! |

This is the first time I've seen Kanno Miho as a lead, and I must say, I am immensely impressed. I don't think this drama would've been nearly as good if it wasn't for Kanno holding up the show. The supporting actor was also really good, of course (I forgot his name, the teacher guy), and so was the supporting actress who played the principal. The story was great for the first two or three episodes, but it seemed to go downhill from there. The plot became very dragged out, and I think at episode 6 I was already screaming for it to end. Thankfully, the ending was shocking enough to redeem the drama overall. Interesting ending song by Bonnie Pink. |  Yamato Nadeshiko [やまとなでしこ【大和撫子】]

An okay, funny drama to occupy your time if you're really bored and in need of some comedy. The first two episodes were truly hilarious, but it gets a bit old after that. Not surprising that I didn't bother finish watching the whole thing once I found something better to do =P Still, the gangster expressions of Matsuoka Masahiro and Hirosue Ryoko are priceless ^^ |

Manga was much better. The drama didn't entice me to want to keep watching after the first ten minutes of the first episode. Just wasn't appealing for some reason. | | |
