Has anyone seen any doramas they thought were going to be good-- like the first episode was really good, but then the rest of the series was pretty bad or just mediocre, and you found yourself and ? Mine are: SOS - it started out ok.. but i just couldn't take that much kyoko. Beautiful Girls/ Pretty Girls: it was really good through the first 6 eps. The last three eps were awful. any doramas that started out slow but were really good by the end of it?

I agree! I thought Strawberry on the Shortcake had potential in the beginning, but it just dragged on and on with nothing really going anywhere!

I agree. I wish they had gone on with Tsuyosh's storyline. I found an uncut version (Which is hard to find) and that made the Tsuyoshi parts more bareable. It just seemed that they really rushed his storyline. then after that bit, it was just one long snooze fest. I really hated Beach wars mix.

It had some actors that I liked and a great theme song by Hikaru Utada, but it was just sooo slooooowww. I gave up watching after a few episodes. Boyhunt was another one. The girls ended up fighting over a guy who wasn't even good looking.

They were good at the beginning, Gone off the rail in the middle and the final blow under the bell at the end! SOS sucked from the beginnin till the end!

I managed to watch First Love until the end because Watabe's great acting. Otherwise As for Pretty Girls, it's pretty exciting during the first few episode but then...... Tabloid, I thought it is great but in the end..... Mou Ichido Kiss, the 1st eps is OKlah but.... Eien no Ko, Gosh, I make a lot of stupid decision recently eh..

They are praised by many as top class dramas but i guess i just hate melodramatic stuff. None of them turned out as good as i thought.
