Quite a long & draggy drama. Quite a dark movie. Only recommend to those who are die hard Takuya fans.

I like Gift. Its format is somewhat like Hero, where every episode tells you a different story, except that with every episode he gets closer to finding out his identity.

There are funny and hilarious characters in the drama, so it sort of balance the "dark" aspect of the drama. His boss is hilarious - what with the weird make-up and all. And that pest of a girl who is keen on him. Many weird strange characters.....

Oh by the way, Takuya looks cool cycling his bike wearing a suit!!!

hello michi, nice to meet you.

gift is good drama. every episode has a human story to tell and takuya's character is like the messenger or the watcher who brings good in his own way to their lives and influences it in some way or other.

the parallel story which is nicely built into the episodes, is the story of takuya playing two sides of the same guy, hayasaka yukio and mizoguchi takehiro, basically the good and bad in the same person, in search as aida11sg says of his real identity after he suffers amnesia from a near death episode.

what makes this drama great is the all round good acting and script. muroi shigeru san as his wacky boss deserves mention for her memorable portrayal.

though the drama looks a little dated, takuya on his mountain mike, gucci(if i remember right) suit and long flowing locks is as current as ever. in fact, takuya did a marvellous job of making gift a memorable drama for he was equally convincing playing the heartful workaholic yukio and the violent gangster with a heart takehiro.

recommended for anyone who enjoys a good drama.

watched the Gift... it's an ok show... kinda dark... not his typical kind of drama... can't really say that i liked it... but i don't hate it as well... so sorry... not much of a help here... but his acting is good still...
i guess it really depends on the individual, cos' the storyline is kinda unconventional...

Well, i love Kimura alot! To me, all his dramas is worth the watch coz of his excellent acting. I won't relate to "Oh, it's not a love story...guess it'll be boring."
I dunno, i'm just an ardent fan of Takuya. But if you're not, then pls do think twice abt it. Wink

I love TK in the Gucci suits. But, his female boss... she is a little too loud for me. Overall, a humourous and engaging drama.
