Overall, a highly enjoyable love stroyline IMO. Kimura plays Satonaka Halu, an ice hockey captain who puts on a brave icy cold front in the face of any adversity. However all this changes when he gets to know office girl Aki (Takeuchi Yuko). She is waiting for her boyfriend to return and is lonely, and they make a pact to keep their relationship as a game. However Aki starts to break through the icy exterior of Halu and they both fall in love with each other. The side stories are also great, particularly with the love situation of Sakaguchi Kenji's character. Great acting, Great soundtrack from Queen (especially the theme song). Highly Recommended!!~~ |

It's a very good one overall. Yuko & Kimura-kun's acting never fails to impress me. The dorama has chosen great songs by Queen especially the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" that was played in the last episode. Another thing worth mentioning about is the good OST... Worth listening over and over again to revive the scenes in "Pride". I just love "Pride". "Maybe"... "Must Be"... ^_^V |

One of the best jdrama, i had ever watched. I like the fast pace of the storyline. Every new episode never fail to suprise me. |

Someone please stop making Kimura the "cool" guy with too much time on his hands. The first episode, sitting through his nonchalant and cool air wasn't so bad--it was cute because he wanted to pick up Takeuchi Yuko. After that, I started to get annoyed. The hockey bit isn't as interesting as I thought either. Not to mention how unexpectedly annoying it gets to hear Kimura say, "Maybe / Must be" every other scene--good god, please stop. However, THERE ARE SOME REDEEMING FACTORS in this drama: an outstanding supporting-male cast, unbelievably adorable gestures made between the two lovebirds, and it's well-shot. For that, I'd say PRIDE is good to watch if you've got nothing else to do. |

the beginning and middle was really good but once it got to like .. . . episode 7 or 8 . .. . IT SUCKED SOOO BAD!!!! I thought it was a lil too dramatic? actually i think it got really weird once takeuchi met back her old boyfriend, i tihnk the time she was with kimura was like the only parts i like .. . . and wat's up with that guy friend of kimura and that girl friend of takeuchi . . .. sooo weird . . but overall ok drama la . . . give it a try since everyone likes kimura . .. . . except me @.@ *ahem* don't kill me people!!!! |

I'm not sure about the ending yet - we'll have to see in a few weeks, but this will probably end up being (or at least one of) my absolute favourite dramas of all time. "Queen" is well-suited to the whole love & fight theme. Soshite KimuTaku to Takeuchi wa SAIKOU!!! Yashima-Kantoku strikes again... |
| 10. | Comments by Sungirl [Rating: 7/10]
Was good untill episode 7, then it started to go downhill! But I like the ice hockey theme :) |

nice show! love hockey! |
| 15. | Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 9/10]
The storyline is interesting and KimuTaku already shines thru in this series (he's not as aloof as in his other series). Takeuchi Yuko isn't as ditzy as she was in Mukodono....but she also looks MUCH taller (b/c KimuTaku's so much shorter than Nagase Tomoya! haha), but her chara's not as fun here. The chemistry btwn the hockey team players are good, and I think it's interesting that many of the actors here are new. It's just a bit disappointing that the other 3 features guys of the team (Tomo, Makoto, & Yamato) are so clear-cut for their personalities.....but luckily, after 4 eps their characters got developed and they're all really good! Especially impressed by Makoto (Sato Ryuta). Sadly, Yamato (Sakaguchi Kenji)'s pic here looks so bad! But when you see him in drama, he's actually pretty good looking. I like him here more than in Itsumo Futari |

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this drama after the first episode, and it held me to the very end. I was literally at the edge of my chair waiting for the next episode. It's beautiful and romantic without going overboard. |

Best drama from KT... |
| 19. | Comments by zealous [Rating: 10/10]
i luv takuya n i luv yuko that's why i give this rate but not to forget i do luv the story n i do like both of them to get along in others dorama. it just like the chemistry between both of them is quite good just like he wit matsu.... wit the story line.... nice job.. i do really like it.. how haru@halu got the attendtion of the world... the compilacation in his life n his games wit his group... the caring-ness of the beloved ones.. how he protec Aki from natsukawa.. how love is everything n it's good enough to watch. i do finish the dorama 1 just 1 night straight... hehe..... |

I don't really like the ending, it's like it has a good start but the ending is a mess. The whole cast is great, worth watching. |
| 21. | Comments by maguro666 [Rating: 9/10]
I love the cast.. honestly takuya does not look like a hockey player. I live in vancouver, so I like the reference to canucks and air canada. |
| 22. | Comments by jdfan [Rating: 10/10]
From Million stars, last year's Good Luck and now Pride, Kimura Takuya keep bringing it on. Yuko showed her acting skill here and she has that loverable girl next door look to go with the part. Kimura, Takeuchi Yuko and also the supporting cast looked good together! I wish the main characters had more romantic moments in it!! This has potential as the year's best.... Must see for dorama fans. |
| 23. | Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 8/10]
The story line has some flaws but nevertheless was very touched by the brotherly luv of the team! It was beautifully shot n has damn nice music but still feel it can be better. |

Four Horsemen (Kimura, Sakaguchi, Ichikawa, R. Sato) ruling the ice. There's more than just love, as I put on the Vote section. |
| 31. | Comments by atheon [Rating: 7/10]
May 2004: For me, this drama is just an average drama....maybe im not a big kimura's fan. The plot is too good to be true, and not many ice hockey scenes though, more like typical romance drama. I was hoping this will be an interesting show but somehow im not eager to watch the next disc when i finished one.......hmm, why.... |
| 32. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 8/10]
as always...kimutaku at his best..story-wise...very predictable...the ice-hockey thing was way kewl!!! |
| 33. | Comments by baby85 [Rating: 9/10]
Takeuchi seems to be suitable with every guy she's with. lol...I like her in Mukodono better though. Uhm...about Kimura...He's quite cool here. I dont like his acting much cuz he cant show his emotions like Nagase. :) |

hm...like the love story but it's too idealistic...yet i guess there's the sense of security that was protrayed & many women need that thus this makes the drama a success... |

At first I thought the idea of hockey as main theme seemed pretty cool, but in reality the hockey part was the thing that dragged this series down. Nice chemistry between the 2 leads though. Not one of the best KT drama but good enough. |

A typical Takuya drama...Not his best performance, but its the type of drama that will still linger in ur mind even a month after uve watched it...so yeah, very typical of Takuya's dramas. |
| 55. | Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 9/10]
The plot is predictable...very Takuya Kimur-ish but still...i loved it!!! I watched it twice in less than 2 weeks....loved loved loved how each and every character were protrayed. Don't we all just love a happy ending????? |
| 56. | Comments by eugeneyan [Rating: 9/10]
Great drama. Damn, when was the last time I watched such an awesome production!? The ending was predictable in my opinion, but the way the story played out, especially the rush of events in the finale, really deserves 2 thumbs up. |
| 57. | Comments by chickennoodles [Rating: 10/10]
In my opinion, this was the best Kimura drama that I have ever seen. Even though, I like Good Luck! a lot, Pride somehow managed to display more of Kimura's amazing acting talents compared to his other dramas. In Pride, Kimura successfully portrayed an emotionally complex character. Apart from the typical confused-with-love type of character, he successful transformed himself into a captian, who possesses great leadership skills. And on top of that all, he aslo showed us his ability to do comedic, edgier and tougher roles. Pride is definitely a must see!!! |
| 58. | Comments by pawnakai [Rating: 9/10]
I don't care much for the soundtrack Good Luck had better songs but story wise, it's great!
Kimura-san did it again, as usual. Very convincing as a hockey player. I also love his sidekicks. They really complemented Takuya and made the story even more interesting. This is definitely a must buy!!! |

Ok, so it's super cheezy, but who can resist Kimura Takuya? In a Hockey uniform? huh? The romance is adorable, and while the ending is unbeliveable, the series will make up for it! |

Although the comments for Pride is not very gd but being a supporter of Takuya, I will still love his works. Takuya's style was still the same since Hero, Good Luck and now Pride. The difference maybe in the styling way. A good show to catch for that really displayed his talents in the skill of acting. Cheers! |

I love the chemistry between the two of them! I think the two of them acted really well and they are very compaitable...

i little cheesy seeing kimutaku saying " maybe" all the time. it seemed this show was made just for him. but to a certain extent, a hocky drama dealing with relationships is interesting. and this is a first too. |
| 97. | Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 9/10]
Great story about love, friendship, and determination. Both my husband and I enjoyed this show and its awesome soundtrack, though we feel that some aspects of the last few episodes are a little too unrealistic. Nevertheless, the main actors and supporting cast undoubtedly shine, and we had a lot of fun watching from start to finish. Highly recommended. |

| 99. | Comments by ashitaka [Rating: 9/10]
Kimutaku is as good as ever, the lead lady is loveable and though it followed a somewhat standard formula, I loved this one. Especially when Kimura says "PAAATI da yo!" That's just such a good scene. Watch it, love it. |
| 100. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 5/10]
Only give it such high rating for the interaction between Haru and Aki that was really touching in certain episodes. Other than that, quite a disappointing dorama. (Side note: one of the hockey players in the story is Matsu Takako's brother!! o_O) |

Makes the word "MAYBE" sound so cool. So-so plot only, and I don't get the Ice Goddess angle. |
| 104. | Comments by jade_frost [Rating: 7/10]
The ice hockey scenes are cool. Kimutaku reprises his usual arrogant, aloof character which is all too predictable. Love story btw Haru and Aki coulda been less formulaic. |
| 105. | Comments by bibam [Rating: 10/10]
Loved it! Kimura's role as Halu Satonaka was really convincing! Really loved the part where he shared an emotional bond with Aki (breaking down in tears) and Aki comforting him. Indicated him as a strong person on the outside but still in need of a woman in his heart to comfort his pain. Highly recommended! Good soundtracks as well, mostly Queen's songs. Will not get bored watching this over and over again. The other casts in their own storylines are also good to watch. Don't miss this one out! |

| 107. | Comments by eltinator [Rating: 9/10]
Having seen so many Kimutaku dramas, this one is certainly similar to his other ones. He's as arrogant as always but what I liked about this drama was Takeuchi Yuko and also the music! It's really a great drama and worth watching! |
| 108. | Comments by SunnyDoll [Rating: 8/10]
I bought this only because my idol is in it hehe.... I heard such a lot of good comments on it and I wasn't disappointed. It has a nice storyline to it. The only parts that can get draggy is during the matches. Something abt the snow queen on the ice baffles me. However.... it is still a nice show ....watch it! |
| 109. | Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 8/10]
Fun series. They turned Hockey into a fairy tale. Kimura and Sakaguchi carry out very strong performances and Sato throws some serious emotion into his character. |

From what I've seen so far, it's colorful and interesting. Also, the main characters aren't blocks - they have a rounded development. My only gripe is the level of cheese in the sports and game drama...I don't find it necessary. |

This is the most romantically intense Jdorama seen thus far (And I always thought Korean are better in this area). Wonderful storyline, great actor, actress and supporting cast. Keep it coming. |

This is my no. 1 dorama. It contains many kinds of morality aspects such as friendship and loyalty, love between a man and a woman and pride of a true iceman. The best thing that I can say bout this dorama is.... SUPERB!!! |
| 139. | Comments by SyoCamui [Rating: 9/10]
THIS WAS AWESOME! I absolutely loved it. I thought they did a really great job. The story, the action, the romance....it was just amazing. Very well done. Plus the theme is sung by Freddie Mercury. That just made is all so much cooler. Oh, Megumi is in it. |

Interesting relationship between Kimura Takuya and Takeuchi Yuko. Although it's expected that they'll end up together for sure. Love the way Kimura says "Maybe?" Drop-dead gorgeous! I love the theme song too! |

I would give it 9 1/2 if I could hehe, because it was just so excellent!!! I loved the chemistry between Kimura and Yuko, I think they look really good together! And the supporting cast was really good as well! My eyes were glued to the TV and I finished this drama in two nights! |

One of Takuya Kimura's weakest performance. Too melodramatic for my liking. Even Takeuchi Yuko couldn't save the show. The only thing I really like was the music, specifically Queen songs. Other than that, it was definitely overrated. |

I LOVE THIS DRAMA. This has to be Takuya Kimura's greatest work. He is very compelling in character and also the female main character. I love this love team. Everyone has to watch this. It has every element. I'm surprised that Ice Hockey could be made into a drama. I LOVED IT. MUST WATCH. |
| 152. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 9/10]
A good drama. Kind of interesting to see a guy that couldn't trust women cuz his own mother had left him. Lots of twist and turns but in the end, it turns out bright. |

I loved Pride. Although I wouldn't say it's the best, it introduced me to the wonder that is J-Dorama and for that it is very near and dear to my heart. It has a great cast (Kimura, Takeuchi, Sakaguchi...) and the romance + ice hockey made it interesting. The reason I couldn't give it a 10 is because of the episodes when they were seperated (Such torture! Couldn't it be resolved quicker?). The ending was good, but somehow not enough. Anyways, I think Kimura and Takeuchi make a great couple (better than Kimura and Matsu Takako! >:P~) Oh, and Queen soundtrack, what more could I ask for? |

One of the best dramas I've ever seen. There's Takeuchi Yuko as this pretty, demure girl who is waiting for her fiance, and then there's Kimura Takuya as a hockey star who's said to be "as cold as ice". The two decide to be "temporary lovers with a contract". The hockey scenes were quite fun but not overdrawn, and the Queen soundtrack was brilliant and worked really well. |

Love that H-A song(instrumental), by Keiko Kurubushi, good acting, Yuko is beautiful, takuya acting is alright. Atleast Takuya came back with a better performance from his boring character in Goodluck. Good enough to get 9 from me. Maybe...wha..annoying maybe that is. :) |

i watched pride str8 after good luck. and i must say i prefer gd luck. pride isn't bad thou. after all, no kimura's shows are bad. becos u'll always haf him to swoon over. and i always like him in his short hair. yuko however doesn't strike too much of an impression as she does in mukodono. but i love watching kimura play ice-hockey! especially when the movements are done by himself. simply too coool! the death part was pretty sad though.. i like the way kimura always slack his way round in yuko's hse. hehehe. |

Excellent series!! I'm not a big sports fan - but this wasn't really about Hockey and where it was, it made sense. As far as characters go, this may be the series with the best average character - I liked pretty much every character. One complaint is the overly positive nature of the male characters in relationship with the female characters (there was some redemption, but it seemed a little imbalanced). I thought Takeuchi and Takuya were great!! Lovely chemistry, and great characters in their own right.
I really like Yuko (best smile, ever), but really it was Kimura who won me over again. There's a reason he's been in so many dramas - he's that good.
I loved the opening theme enough to go download the original Queen song. It's a great song.
I do have one serious complaint - an otherwise superb presentation hindered by one of my least favorite Jdorama cliches: characters in a pivotal moment pass by each other and their missing each other is a determinative factor in their relationship. Bleh. It would have had a 10 otherwise and it nearly earned an otherwise superb drama an 8.
Watch this series.. especially if you don't care about hockey. It's a wonderful exploration of character development and the contrast between the negative and positive implications of Pride. |

I would watch any drama with Kimura Takuya in it! With that said... what guy and girl can't bond over this show? Love and sports, really, doesn't that just bridge all the boundaries? :) And what sport isn't complete without Queen music to back it up? As expected of dramas it has love, death, confusion, and in the end a sense of happiness. Time is the true test of love in this series. |

Unlikable character for both male and female leads. |
| 202. | Comments by aki_07 [Rating: 9/10]
*Sigh* What can I say? I think the Japanese scriptwriters study the psychology of fans and are very intelligent in tailoring dramas to meet the fans' need for fantasy. Kimura is fabulous in this drama. He always has to fall for plain jane, rather than the attractive sexy girl. It gives many ordinary women hope, hoping that one day a cool Kimura-look-alike sport star will fall for them and smoulder them with affection. Wow! The plot develops well, not too draggy and the cast is pretty to look at as well. Many different angles of Kimura's boyish grins. What else can one asks for?! |
| 203. | Comments by bigfire [Rating: 9/10]
Pride combines great characters with some relatively well constructed hockey action giving it the feel of a sports manga while exploring some deeper elements of the main characters. All of the characters have great depth and appeal and are presented in such a way that their depth unfold like an onion. With each episode another layer is pealed away and the viewer is that much more satisfied getting closer to the truth of its core. Easily one of my top 2 dramas of all time. |

This show is really cool.When i didn't watch this show,I was wondering "what's so nice about Takuya Kimura?". But after watching the show,I "fell" in love with him. He's with the attitude and love it.The show is really nice because it shows that he signed a "contract" with Takeuchi Yuko.Overall,it's really a show that makes you sit at the edge of the chair and wanting to continue watching through the drama and not stopping.
Conclusion,TWO THUMBS UP~ |

I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart.... I like the theme song, feel good. And the drama is a good one. Both Takuya and Yuko are really cute. At first, I wanted Mat-chan play as aki instead of Yuko, but when I've watched her acting, it's ok. She's so cute in her screen. And Takuya, I absolutely think he's got suitable role as Halu. cool look and sweet ayes... Sugoi!!! |
| 214. | Comments by ml_desu [Rating: 7/10]
i didn't like this at first mainly after watching the scene where haru hits the puck at aki in a fit of anger and it bounces off the plastic wall. i hate violence against women. but talk about chemistry and the way kimura san continues to develop his image. yamada yoji san on meeting kimura for his next film was nothing short of ecstatic. can very well imagine that given his performance in pride.
for myself, this role of kimura's outdoes his other great roles in sora kara and hero mainly because of characterisation. here in pride, kimura conveys so well the mixture of haru's sheer self confidence, arrogance, vitality, inspiration and vulnerability. the character is utterly believeable. professionally he excels at work. personally, he bears the stigma of a lost mother and is unable to trust or give himself easily. yet that does not diminish him and haru is a great friend, someone who values and treasures his friends, a person with great intergrity and sense of honour ("pride"). when he finally meets the woman for him, his soul mate, they fall deeply in love and haru opens himself up to this great love, loving aki with a passion and tenderness equal only to his love for his game.
i don't think any other actress could have played the part of aki. and ichikawa somegoro's interesting character, too bad no time to really develop it. as makoto says of tomonori: i am now looking at you differently ... after the pep talk by tomonori to the team in the absence of haru and hirozaku. wa, charismatic. and good music used to great effect. overall the drama could have done with an additional episode. |

I love the chemistry between Yuko Takeuchi and Kimutaku. That's the best one I've ever seen in doramas. And that was the first time I saw Takeuchi. Probably that's why I loved Pride. Though I understand, that the series itself is actually not that special... |

In my opinion the best drama with Kimura Takuya. He's incredible here. And Yuko Takeuchi is so kind and sweet. They're like ideal Man & Woman here, perfect match for each other. All this stuff with ice goddess seemed a little silly to me, but it's ok.
Definitely recommend this drama to everybody! |

I know in real life that Hockey is catching on in Japan. I think the NHL just had a Japanese player made a team I think. But the hockey action in this show is decent. The ladies are cute and the guys are cool. The show can be a little too sexist or chauvanistic. The men are all macho but the women are nothing more than eye candy, being cheerleaders in the stands. But I guess most team sports are like that. Takuya's character is somewhat too arrogant and possessive for my taste. I like a little more balance in a main protagonist.
And the most annoying thing, the dude kept saying "Maybe" for every situation. Like it's cool or something. Uhhh...no. Not cool. Major overusage here. Is it recommended? Yeah, it's not bad. Not one of Takuya's best, but it's okay. |

Again, I think this is not of KimuTaku's best dramas...I liked the soundtrack music (lots of Queen songs) and the cast...but the storyline of love and friendship in a competitive sporting background didn't draw me to it that much. Crazy thought, but I would like to see a basketball drama starring Kimura Takuya...that would be different and cool to watch! :) |

| 262. | Comments by ben_soh23 [Rating: 7/10]
did not perform to my expectations..... i wasnt as touched as compared to "Good Luck", let's not even mention "Beautiful Life".....
is it becuz i watched 3 Takuya Kimura dramas in succession? or is it becuz my expectations were too high?
disappointing romance between the two leads (n to think i really like kimura n yuko), especially since the starting seem to promise so much..... though i like the ending....
the other characters were quite interesting but they were not engaging enuff.....
i think they can make the hockey scenes longer, as i thought those scenes were really exciting n uplifting.....
disappointment overall.... just an above average jap drama..... :( |

kimura on ice: entertaining/good acting/ok plot |
| 266. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: 10/10]
Probably one of Takuya's best dramas! This one is filled with friendship, comedy, love, and sports. I highly recommend this drama. Plus Kimura looks so good in his hockey uniform! haha |
| 267. | Comments by butterLiLy [Rating: 7/10]
Hoping it has more ice hockey stunts/action than the love story. But it was a good one. |
| 268. | Comments by Anees [Rating: 9/10]
This is the show that made me finally admit that I like KimuTaku. This is happy, funny, exciting, and even sad, but by the end you will have only nice feelings because of it. And they do such a good job of filming the hockey games. It made me want to become a better ice skater! |

My best Kimura drama. The director brought out all the elements for that love story. Of course it helped a lot that Takeuchi Yuko is the living example for the word "kawaiii" |

One of the best dramas I have seen so far. Wow, this one definitely cemented my love for Kimutaku. He was wonderful in this. So much intensity and emotion. Aki and Halu have great chemistry together. Very much recommended to anyone, even if they don't know much about hockey. |
| 276. | Comments by megumi s. [Rating: 8/10]
perhaps focuses a bit too much on masculinity, but it's really nice to watch the chemistry between kimura takuya and takeuchi yuko. recommended |

watched this a while ago due to my lack-of-things-to-do. however, kimura surprises me with his brilliant acting skills. and just when i tot i've seen all his gimmicks ^_^ anyway, superb storyline, cast well chosen, nice soundtrack, interesting trademark gestures to imitate.
all in all, a kimura-worthy drama. |

Une histoire d'amour avec des hommes, des vrais, des durs, des tatoues, et des femmes qui feraient pleurer les chiennes de garde par leur devotion. Cela dit c'est extremement bien foutu et on est vraiment pris dans le truc. C'est boooooooooo. |

If I am to be a teacher and counsel my students on their future career, I would advice them to see Takuya's drama. I enjoy the game in this drama a lot - and of course the plot |

Its a drama with HOCKEY! |
| 295. | Comments by ffrostte [Rating: 9/10]
Haven't seen Takuya for quite some time so this is kind of fresh to me. Of course he can't escape being 'the most charismatic guy' in the series, which is to be expected.
Not much surprise though, apart from the competition scenes. |

i don't even know how to explain this, but i fell in love with the drama as soon as i started watching it. it's incredible to see such a well-rounded drama with a lot of plot and character development. the romantic moments are amazing; kimura and takeuchi had GREAT chemistry. the side casts are entertaining as well. it's authentic. you wouldn't want to miss it. |

| 309. | Comments by tabana [Rating: 6/10]
Is it good? Maybe... but mostly maybe NOT!
For some reasons I hate pride. Must be, because they say the drama's title 50 times per episode. Could also be the cry baby I forgot his name. "Waa, we ran out of orange juice aniki." The story could've been 3 episodes shorter. Sometimes nothing's going on. No dialogs; people just walking or standing there doing nothing at all. Just some camera pans and zoom in or out. I'm supprised they didn't film any actors sitting on the toilet for 15 minutes.
Yuko and Kimutaku are good, but the story is slow and the side stories are mostly boring. |

Fun Kimutaku drama where it's all about succeeding and being motivated. |
| 315. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 9/10]
I wouldn't say it is a MUST watch drama, but it's very enjoyable. I must say, I am proud to be Canadian lol. But still I hate hockey. It is a very violent sport. Kimura.. um. everyone says he is good, but i don't quite see it yet. his character is the same as Good Luck. or as least similar. I don't like Yuko that much. I gotta admit that the ending did suck. Everything was realistic until the end. I really dunno how i feel about this drama. I am confused lol. It is good, but in a weird way. |

I can't believe this is written by Nojima Shinji..It's so different with his other dramas. Anyways, this drama was pretty good, but it was just way too cliche. Kimura Takuya looked very good in this drama. Satonaka Haru reminded me of Kimura Takuya in so many ways. My favorite episode is actually ep.1. I loved the scene where Haru carries Aki on the ice. However, toward the end, this drama got a little bit too much.. It's centred too much on Haru, and nobody else. Aki had no real personality as THE 'good girl.' It's a drama making Haru a hero, with a very typical storyline. I especially didn't like the part where Haru sees the goddess of ice. It just ruined the drama...However, it had great soundtrack! Queen's 'I was born to love you' was a great song. I also liked Takuya's hairstyle here.... |
| 320. | Comments by jess [Rating: 8/10]
The first jdrama i watched. Was a great impact on me and i cried quite a bit too (maybe it's just me lah). Love story revolving around the ice hockey game. Very touching, and motivational too. Highly recommended to watch. |
| 321. | Comments by celest8787 [Rating: 10/10]
this drama rox! it's a splendid movie with a great plot and wonderful ending! takuya kimura is certainly a great actor, exhibiting wonderful chemistry with the lead actress, yuko takeuchi... this show is a must-watch, not only for the good cast, but also for the competitive spirit instilled by the development of the whole storyline... a must-watch! =P |

No "Maybe" here. I enjoyed this. I haven't seen a Kim-taku that I didn't like. Here he is more American character of brash and cool, not the J stereotype. |

bought this for takuya. the story isn't too engaging for me and I felt his older dramas were better. still, this is a must for all takuya fans. |
| 334. | Comments by carpe_noctem [Rating: 10/10]
At first I didnt like Haru at all, neither his looks nor his behaviour but then I grew to like him after all ... and I think he's cute^__^ I hated this drama for keeping me so long in suspense cause I already thought that there won't be a happy end and Haru wont come back..^^;;; I cried a lot during this drama!! Also I loved the fact that there were Queen songs there^___^
Well..Generally... I loved it! *^^* When I was watching it I felt as if I were in another world..somehow >.> ^^ |
| 335. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 8/10]
The best "Takuya's Dorama" i've watched so far...
Apart from the fact that i dont enjoy hockey that much, Pride is a nice dorama... good actors... nice plot...
The only thing i really hated in this dorama was that "Ice Godess" thing... i mean.. c'mon!! WtF was that??? And if u think really well it has nothing to do with the dorama.... if they have that taken out... no one would miss it. And imo the dorama would be better!!! |

-A very good drama, really makes me stick to it
-Excellent role played by both Halu & Aki (MAYBE).
-Some parts are stereotype like other dramas.. such as winning in very last minute of the match.. It's kinda boring..
-This drama is a bit simillar to Good Luck...
-If you watch it, you gonna love it... Puraido da!! |
| 345. | Comments by Nobita-kun [Rating: 7/10]
Fell short of my expectations. The first half was engaging but the story deflated when the focus shifted away from Halu and Aki's courtship (the only interesting element of this drama). The weak, uninteresting supporting characters and subplots failed to fill in the gaps. The ending was utterly unsatisfying and unrealistic because the lead-up to it made no logical sense whatsoever. But I rate this drama a 7 because the first half was decent and I'm a fan of Queen, Yuko and Kimutaku. |

Only watched about 5 episodes of this....wasn't too bad....but had absolutely no idea where the thing was going...seems like all that was happening was Kimura asking Takeuchi to be his semi-gf as she waits for her lover. and then we see Kimura playing hockey. That's about all that happens. Kind of a "stuck in the mud" feeling. |

Can't go wrong with any drama if Kimura Takuya's the star. Each episdoe had a nice mix of funny scenes and really touching scenes that are sure to make you tear up. It was also cool to see how the hockey and love story was perfectly balanced. |

Not too bad.
The love story plot was interesting, the characters were also well built. The plot developed smoothly overall.
The hockey scenes were ok but not great though. Since there weren`t that many to start with, I just thought there could have been more effort into them I guess, but what can you expect? XD
Thumbs up for the cast of actors! |

Not bad to watch, but completely forgettable. It wasn't exactly heartfelt, but Kimutaku probably made ice hockey get pretty cool in Japan. |

Another fantastic KimuTaku drama!
I never gave this a chance in the past, but after watching Good Luck recently I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt... and I am so glad that I did! It's a really fantastic drama.
Well acted all around and the chemistry between Aki and Halu is top notch! It's hard to believe it's not real <3
Great show, great ending, lots of fun, definitely worth a watch! |

8 cos the love story part is so nicely planned out but the final part had was abit letdown... but still adds up to a 8 for me. |
| 402. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 8/10]
You think with both Takeuchi Yuko and Kimura Takuya in this drama that this show would garner a 10...but I gave this show a 8 ....I don't know why??????... maybe it's because I can't see Japanese playing hockey.....anyway I felt there was something...? |

Sports dramas are not usually my thing but I got into this one and finished it quite quickly. Great characters and dialogue, Kimura Takuya and sports seems to be a winning combination because it also worked in his later drama, Engine. However, there were some points in the plot where I was quite annoyed. Nothing bad could ever happen to Halu unless he did it to himself. Meanwhile, the people around him suffer from all kinds of things they have no control over. Guess that's what you call leading a "charmed life"? Good drama and worth watching. |

Great series.. Kimura acting great as always.. It's interesting how whenever I watch a sports-series I kind of get interested in it for the moment. It proves maybe that the series succeeded in making the viewers interested and 'in-to' the plot... or how I should describe it..
Even though some seems to have been annoyed by the character Makoto who yells after 'Aniki', I think I liked him best though. He was really funny and I liked him alot. It was fun watching his scenes XD.. I think Kimura should have changed his attitude or character in the end and be more loving,, to show that he's changed after those years returning from Canada.. I thought that he seemed to still be kind of.. um, dark? Like before.
Oh, and then. Did anyone notice Kimura's REALLY dark bags under his eyes in the last scene, the last episode, on the ice? o.o Gosh, I don't think he has been sleeping for days back then! Must really have worked hard on filming the series, ne. It kind of shocked me, he looked awfully tired.. and his lips were so white too.. Poor him, though the hard work really did pay off! The series went out to be successfull, I think.
And the soundtrack was fit to the series too. It's recommended~ |

The classic Queen's song "I was born to love you" with the cinematic-feeling opening video is incredibly well done. It even sent chills down my spines the first time. Add the close-shots of the main character's killing-gaze and it might even be epic. Concerning the show it is definitely better when it isn't too serious and has a more humorus approach. Later when it eventually turns into a full-fledged drama it becomes rather ordinary. Still, good acting from the cast, and the drama is still very good despite the somewhat unconsistent quality in the show. |

One of Kiumutaku's superb performances. |
| 415. | Comments by pinoymutt [Rating: 10/10]
Oddly enough, even though I had been a Dorama fan for a while, this is my first complete Kimura series....wow, what a great series!!!! Yuko plays a great lead (much better than Lunch Queen, which was good too) and the supporting cast is great as well.
I just finished this, and it definitely goes on my list of all time fav's. I've had the VCD's from the OG series -- Long Vacation, and now I absolutely have to watch it.
Also, I usually am not of fan of English songs in JDramas, but Queen's "I was born to love you" is perfect for this series, and I keep playing it over and over in my car! |

Takuya and Yuko, what a pair, what a great romantic sports drama :) |
| 419. | Comments by japochoboi [Rating: 6/10]
it was ok but too unrealistic for a true hockey fan/player. it took the games to the extreme too much and that made it less enjoyable. |

love it, maybe?
no, must be |
| 421. | Comments by masaki-chan [Rating: 10/10]
One of my favourite dramas... Takuya as Halu was really amazing. And it's about hockey, so how can I dislike it? |
| 422. | Comments by hilmifaiz24 [Rating: 10/10]
like kimura in this drama |
| 423. | Comments by monmon [Rating: 7/10]
Well, this drama is quite far from my expectation. First half is amazing, I like Halu and Aki's relationship very much. But as the subplot came, it ruined the story. episode 9,10,11 is very boring. and I dont like Aki very much as the story goes on.. I give this drama 7 because i like Kimuya and Yuko's acting.
overall, it makes me dissapointed.. :( |

I stopped watching this drama halfway through. At first it was really interesting, and it is...but I don't know why I got impatient and just skipped through many scenes and just watched for the last episode or whatever. It was okay drama, and I liked the actors.....Takeuchi Yuko did a very good job and Kimura Takuya is really charismatic as an actor. Maybe one day I'll go back and rewatch the whole thing. |
| 428. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 9/10]
I really liked this drama. When I learn things about love and relationships, it really gets me thinking and stays in my mind. |
| 429. | Comments by anpanman [Rating: 7/10]
Enjoyable, but seemed a bit formulaic.... I really like Takeuchi Yuko - she is so beautiful, and her onscreen chemistry with KimuTaku was pretty awesome. But I felt that the story lacked substance, and was a bit too predictable. |

| 438. | Comments by crvn107 [Rating: 5/10]
I watched this mainly due to me running out of dramas to watch. I wouldn't say that it is particularly nice and I probably wouldn't watch it if I had something else to watch. I can't really tell the emphasis of this show other than it being on the romance between Halu and Aki. Disappointing for a show on a sport; I thought more could be done on team spirit and the sport itself. |

usually im more interested in dramas where the actors are in highschool,
tho this was really good and im glad that i took the time to watch something thats not really my thing?
Kimura Takuya is HOT
and is waay older than me! lol he is still sexy in my eyes idc. =]
his acting was GREAT.

I really thought it was well done and I think the acting was amazing as well as the chemistry between the characters. It's just I cannot agree with the themes and messages. That is just the viewpoint of a feminist though - but I do recommend it and it is an extremely well done drama - it could've been one of my all-time faves - just the idealized woman part bugged me to no end. |

Who would've imagined ice hockey in Japan? Kimutaku shines yet again! And Takeuchi Yuko is just breath-taking in this one. She's a super actress and I would say have complemented Kimutaku really well in this action-packed drama. |

the best drama ever. great acting, great dialogue, and the best character development i've seen in a tv series so far. |
| 459. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 6/10]
This drama left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, not only because of Kimutaku´s annoying Prido this Prido that mantra: Mainly made for a female audience, the love interest Aki is one of the weakest, unintelligent female drama characters and shouldn´t be seen as a role model at all - in fact I am starting to get annoyed about the way women are portrayed in some dramas. Thank god there are exceptions! |
| 460. | Comments by sadacori [Rating: 10/10]
I put this drama off no matter how many people recommended it because I thought that it was centered around hockey and I'm not a sports fan. How wrong I was. Even though the premise of this story is about hockey, this is more of a love story than anything. I'm still in the process of watching this drama, but I felt that I had to make this point early on. And that so far this gets a 9 from me. |

To be honest, at first I don't understand why people love Kimutaku so much. But finally I find the answer by watching Pride. Oh my, he's HOT! |
| 467. | Comments by serebi [Rating: 7/10]
Drama was a little too dramatic for my taste, not a big fan of queen or better said didn't like the fact that its theme song was non japanese. Takuya's character maintains his characteristic cool/cocky way of being and carries it throughout the entire show reaction as one would not expect. Not a wasted of your time to watch it but not takuya's best drama in my opinion. |

A heartwarming dorama with an overall great performance from everyone! One of the best sport doramas I've ever seen! |
| 477. | Comments by Sorata [Rating: 8/10]
Great dorama and for those who think this is a sports dorama, you are wrong, the hockey is secondary, this is a romance with some dorama.
The first 5 episodes were a litle boring, but after that it really picked up, all the four male characters from the team were awesome: Halu, Tomo, Makoto and Yamato. Yamato´s story with the love-money-Yuri was really enjoyable so was of course Halu and Aki´s boyfriend-girlfriend game.
From what i watched from Takuya, this was his best performance, he really sold his character(Halu) very well, not my favorite dorama with him but it was his best performance. |

At first I thought it was a sports-centered drama, but it actually has much romance too. And I love it. The connection bond between the hockey team players, romance game that turn serious between Yuko and Kimutaku's role (Yuko is a plus!!), the "unbelievable" (in a bad way) mother and kareshi...Love it! |
