Good Luck !! [グッドラック!!] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Awesome acting. Fresh.
Kimura Takuya NOT sleeping with his lead lady?! Now that's a first.
Makes me a Shibasaki Kou fan. I was especially impressed by the stoic I-live-haunted-by-the-past captain Kouda.
Con: although the plot is good, it seems like there's something missing. Perhaps not enough depth. (shrug) 9/10 | H2~Kimi to itahibi [2〜君といた日々] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
All the actors are well-suited for their roles (the only one I would debate is Hiro, though). I especially liked Hikari's role. Very nice.
con: the fake animation :) makes me laugh. Also, the overall drama effect gives off an "another kind of world" feeling. Maybe it's just me. | Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very good adaptation. Although they did not stick completely to the manga, their adapatation has the main plot points in some way or another.
The actors are also much better than in the Taiwanese Version (Meteor Garden), although they may not looks as "pretty" :)
Overall, a fresh rendition of an old storyline.
(I do admit though, that I wished Makino Tsukushi had a stronger will/backbone in this version...) |
Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji Season 3 [救命病棟24時 3] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) One of the best dramas I have seen this year. Each episode kept me wanting to watch the next episode. All the major actors portrayed their roles beautifully. I would not miss this drama. 10/10 | Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very well made and very touching.
Especially enjoyed the japanese sign language.
(I'd say it was better than Heavens Coin in JSL)
Tsumabaki Satoshi and Shibasaki Kou did an excellent job as leads! Keita was awesome as the clueless character, adding to the humor. Very well done. | Wedding Planner [ウエディングプランナー] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Touching. Very touching.
Didn't even think about how well or poorly the actors acted.
Episode six was a true tear-jerker. Definitely watch this. It's hilarious, serious, and absolutely a great drama. |
