Aishiteiru to Ittekure [愛していると言ってくれ] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Quite a slow dorama.I didn't watched it from the start though, so can't really give a good comment on this dorama.just nice storyline and good casting.but one thing that did get my attention was the sweet and beautifully written soundtrack song "love love love" by dreams come true.it has become my fav song all the time.
Antique [アンティーク〜西洋骨董洋菓子店] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) Impressive.Beyond my expectation.thought it was an ordinary drama with takizawa hideaki and fujiki naohito as the attractions but the story turned out to be really funny.make me burst out laughing none stop.i love the chemistry between tackey and shiina kippei.and as always abe hiroshi's performance never failed me.good storyline and the casts performance were amazing and hilarious.
Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) as always, kimura takuya's performance deserves a thumb up.however,try hard as she might,tokiwa takako's performances are still average for me, including this one.one actress however did caught my attention this time.it was mizuno miki,playing as tamura sachie(takako's bestfriend).quite an excellent performance from her here.great storyline.not a bad casting.an outstanding soundtrack from B'z there.
Dekichatta Kekkon [できちゃった結婚] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) what a superb performance from both takenouchi yutaka and hirosue ryoko.i'm a big fan of yutaka but i never know he could act this good.what an outstanding performance.he always acts well,but this time his acting was really excellent.what else could i say,he is on top of my chart as always.and he couldn't make it without his great co-star hirosue ryoko.so she did deserved a credit here too.hirosue ryoko as always never failed in developing great character in her acting.surprise it may be as for her very young age but her performance is full of charisma.and great soundtracks too from hitomi and exile.
Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) this was the most anticipated dorama in my life history, probably because i'm left too long without any of matsujun's new work. yess,i'm one of matsujun's fans and I�fd waited so long for this dorama to be released in my place that i nearly scream out loud when i first saw it already available in the store few months earlier than i've expected.watching this dorama, i found new things rather than my all-time-fav matsujun. i just realised how beautiful koyuki is.she is so attractive and sooooo captivating.as a girl myself, it's not normal for me to say that i can't take my eyes of her but it's true, i did.i just love the way she dressed,so stylish yet still considerably simple.the way she wears her make-ups, the way she walks, the way she talks and the way she smiles are so aspiring.she did a very great job here potraying a tall, beautiful, successful career-woman iwaya sumire.i think she did a very superb job with her acting performance. this was koyuki first dorama to be the leading role and she didn�ft blew it away. we can expect more great works from her in the future.and i think high credits should be given to all the casts as well who did a very good job in this dorama. i don�ft know why, probably it�fs a result of my great obsession with matsujun but i somehow think that this dorama was extraordinarily superb. the storyline was imaginative and uniquely different, the soundtracks (and i�fm referring to the instrumentals rather than the song �edarling�f by V6) were outstandingly moving. the chemistry between the casts was great and without suzuki sarina, nagatsuka kyozo,yamashita shinji and watanebe ikkei, the story wouldn�ft be as hilarious and interesting as it�fs been. however, matsujun�fs performance here was a bit lower than my expectation. he did a good job here but somehow i found momo character was sometimes shameful. well, i�fm not blaming it on him because it�fs hard for human to act adorably as a dog.maybe i�fm so used to the kakkoi matsujun that I�fve found hard times adjusting to his new character. all in all, he did a brave attempt here to vary his actings and he deserves some credits for that. and i have to admit that eventhough i can�ft bear to see him make a fool of himself as momo the dog ,his charms did shone at times throughout the story.
Love generation [ラブジェネレーション] Rating: 4/10 (Bought & Watched) i bought and watched this dorama long time ago and it had no sub at all.i had to used all my knowledges on nihongo and had to struggle through the lines in order to understand the story.but still i can't give my final comment here since it was not convincing enough,for me at least.i probably will have to rewrite this after i rewatch the dorama.overall, it was an ok show.nothing else but rabu story.a very plain love story.all circle around long lost but unforgettable former lover, jealousy and uncertainty,and finally realization of who is the right one.a very predictable story-line,no climax(or at least i didn't feel one) and very plain.this was not the first time kimutaku teamed up with matsu takako and i must say,this dorama was not their best work together.they shown much more credibility as an actor/actress in their other doramas. and if i can pick one,i say it was 'hero' that brought out the chemistry between them.
Moto Kare [元カレ] Rating: 6/10 (Bought & Watched) they got hirosue ryoko in the dorama.so come as bad as it may be,i still have to watch it.as always hirosue ryoko never let me down.but this still wasn't her best performance.the problem here was her co-stars.typical acting from dohmoto tsuyoshi and an annoying character of uchiyama rina.bad storyline and over all,bad casting too.but the theme song did caught my attention.and probably would change my perception of kinki kids a bit i think...ahaha..they deserve a break from me.but still i got to say,be as famous as he is,dohmoto tsuyoshi still has a very bad taste in dressing.
Over Time [オーバー・タイム] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) first time i watched this dorama,i felt in love with it and that was 3 years ago.recently i brought the dorama and rewatched it,i must say the emotions i felt during my first watch had worn out already.haha..funny isn't it?well,probably the years have teach me to have higher taste and better senses in judging doramas as i watch more and more doramas through the time.so the once charming sorimachi takashi is now not at all charming through my point of view.ahaha he looked old, rigid and dumb here.so right now i still couldn't find out what made me think that he was charming and handsome last 3 years.well to be fair,i suppose i have to write this view considering my first watch too.so what first caught my attention in this dorama was esumi makiko.i think she was beautiful and brilliant here.i don't really like her in power office girl at first.so through this 'overtime' dorama, i learnt what a stunning performer she is.and i must say i love the ending too.ahaha..it was sad however, it was unique and different.it left me this deep hole inside my heart,making my life felt so empty at that moment.so i guess the ending was the one that made this dorama unforgettable and beautiful.and the piano version(voiceless) of 'i believe' really touched my soul,driving me crazy even until now.
Shomuni Final [ショムニ ファイナル/庶務二課] Rating: 4/10 (Bought & Watched) well,i am a die-hard esumi makiko fan.however i don't really like her role in shomuni series.plus her straight front hair which has become her style in shomuni, (in my opinion) conceals her true beauty.but i must admit that her hair style did succeed in bringing out her tough,adventurious looking character.considering this show was once a hit in japan, i have to say this final one was entertaining and hilarious.however still shomuni series wasn't excellent enough to make me burst-out laughing.it was not an eye-watering show,so giving 4 out of 10 is definitely generous of me.
Stand UP!! Rating: 4/10 (Bought & Watched) i thought this show was going to be one of the memorable teen flicks in jdorama industry but i was surprised to see what such a rubbish it has turn out to be.seriously i'm not a fan of the leading actors.however i have my eyes on oguri shun and narimiya hiroki because i've seen them before in 'gokusen'- an indeed a memorable and superb teen show.and i also have known suzuki an for her role in 'kindaichi 3' opposite matsujun few back years ago.she was very young at that times yet she managed to convince me what a promising young star she is.so i expected to see a very good performance here too.however as i said earlier, this dorama has turn out to be a real crap.everything was very weak.the storyline,the script and the casting.i couldn't see any point in this dorama,everything was circling in the very same thing that was their attempts of losing their virginity.it was boring and draggy especially the first half of the series.there was no growth in the characters and the story led us nowhere.it was apparently a dorama with lots of bit to laugh at and these lining of 'eye-candy' actors to look at.an indeed an immature and stupid show for me.however i must agreed that the second half of the series quite surprisingly enjoyable.i finally could see the thing they want to emphasize here that is the power of friendship but still not good enough for me.what i want to criticize the most here is what a very weak and talentless performance shown by each of the leading roles.i think YamaP is a real 'lamp post' here.he can't even act.no characteristic and growth.mark my word,he is a talentles actor with just a pretty face to sell.and for ninomiya,this is my first time seeing him acting.i've heard so much about what a great and promising actor he is.but sadly i can't see any of the evidence here.i think he is just a crap next to YamaP.he did shown some growth in his character but still he is just an ordinary actor to me,anybody can replace him anytime.and both narimiya and oguri did let me down.and i agreed that they should replace suzuki an with some other actress because eventhough she is full of talent but she doesn't suite the role here.we need somebody who is much more adorable,not supposely pretty/kawaii or something but exceptionally adorable.sorry an.
Summer snow Rating: 3/10 (Bought & Watched) i don't really know why i bought and watched this dorama right after i watched the controversial and much commented (at least in this website) 'moto kare' starring none other than both the leading actors here.but i guess i was trying to find out more of both actors' previous works, just as a comparison of what i've seen in 'motto kare'.i'm used with hirosue ryoko's works for so long that i'm ready to take risks with any of her doramas.she's adorable and yes, i'm a fan of her especially in 'shotgun marriage'.but my interest here was more of her chemistry with dohmoto tsuyoshi, just as a fun look out. so i figured the best way to do that was watch their previous 3 years collaboration.mm...judging this dorama with my considerably wide experiences in jdorama world, i don't really think that this dorama is any good. same old script, same old typical characters, same old issues and what bother me the most was same old typical good guy dohmoto tsuyoshi. yess, i have problems with him since hundreds years ago.i don't really know why but he's just not my ideal kind of hero.he can be cute sometimes but he's just not the right person to play my type of hero. it's got nothing to do with looks but the main issue here is his lack of certain acting skills.-charming and captivating..yess,that's what i'm talking about.he's funny,there's no doubt about that but he keeps on playing his typical acting, no growth for the past decade.kind of amusing actually how he manages to be credited for his acting while i here can't even see what's so good about his performances.enuff said about him.and hirosue's performance here kind of cracked my nerves for her.she's a talented actress but she too keeps on playing the same old good-girl or kawaii girl characters.it is expected and i find it kind of boring sometimes.maybe she should try to develope her character somehow more interesting rather than gentle,kawaisou dying yuki.just show a little bit more of growth and maturity (she's a working adult after all in this dorama) and inner strength or even some girl power.that way i could really credit her for making this it's-pissing-me-off dorama much more enjoyable.
Tokyo Love Story [東京ラブストーリー] Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched) this dorama was such a much talked about legend in dorama history that it forced me to buy and have a look at it for myself.kinda frustrating at first for me, maybe because of there were so many annoying characters in here.don't get me wrong but i am one of suzuki honami admirers for her work in 'news no onna' but i somehow found her character as akana rika in here a bit annoying.maybe because i have issues with nagging and hyperactive,immature girls.sorry to say but her character here didn't impress me much.and another pity for arimori narimi for her kawaisou role here because i'm a person with no such kind heart to care about her heartbreak.her character here was really pissing me off.maybe this means that she's a good actress to fill me with that kind of hatred and taking-side effects;her character was meant to do, i dunno..maybe i guess.but thanks for oda yuji for saving the day cause i found him really cute and charming here.he gave a strong performance here and he's the actor i'll look forward to in the future.however,my main problem with this dorama was the time changing factor.well,this dorama was such a hit back in 1991 but i only watched it in 2003.i'm a such a modernisation oriented girl watching this kind of old dorama, i found the way they dressed and their attitude somewhat peculiar and hilarious.this kinda spoiled my evening for the romantic rabu story.
With love Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched) slow moving dorama.what made me stick to it until the end was obviously because of takenouchi yutaka.most of people might said it was his pretty face,but for me it was his talent plus(don't want to deny it)his good looks that made me watch him.whether you agree or not, i still believe he got real talent inside himself which has been proved throughout his performances in his many doramas.and not to miss in this one too.he acted brilliantly here with his i-don't-give-a-damn-about-you look and his somehow convincing depressed life.so i must say,he did succeed in bringing out the character of hasegawa takashi.and i suppose fujiwara norika did pretty good job here too.she was beautiful and captivating.however tanaka misato was a bit dissapoinment for me.she did a good job but i believe somebody else might have done it better.over all,great theme songs,predictable story-line and damn long,slow moving story.in other words,boring indeed.
