| 3. | Comments by yume [Rating: 7/10] Nakama Yukie plays her character well along side a good leading male. However, the story of Zainichi--or Korean Japanese--is often cut of up into too-well-defined boxes leaving out the diversity of the Zainichi--Korean Japanese--experience. Taking it as a love-story drama riding on the wings of the success of "Winter Sonata" (a Korean drama that was and IS still unbelievably successful in Japan), it has some cute twists to it. But if you're a fan of Korean dramas, you will not find this in anyway exciting or new probably. It's very typical of Korean dramas, and follows that format almost [i]religiously[/i]. |

pdtv divx unkn RAW |
| 5. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 9/10] This mix of a korean style drama in a japanese format was quite successful. Everything may not be top notch here, but it's addictive & has some typical korean-drama-twists. I liked it, 9-. |
| 6. | Comments by yoshizawa takashi [Rating: 10/10] is my first korean japan drama..touching my heart the song and story better watch if u r human begin |
| 7. | Comments by totuta [Rating: 6/10] started good. but as episodes passes it turns out to be disappointing. |
| 8. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 6/10] the typical love story with many conflicts & obstacles...not tht hard to predict..l... |
| 9. | Comments by dannylai [Rating: 8/10] not bad... |
| 10. | Comments by juliana_phang [Rating: 9/10] really good, i thought it was boring at first, coz i've no idea who the male lead was... but he did his role pretty well... |
| 11. | Comments by JRodJiro [Rating: 9/10] Gives you a glimpse of the cultural divide between Japan and Korea. The shows seems to have a Romeo and Juliet theme. |
| 12. | Comments by JadedAngel [Rating: 8/10] Though many people say that they hated it, as the first dorama I've seen, it was pretty good. Its what got me hooked on drama in the first place. I loved the romance of it all, not to mention the actors, as I'm a big Nakama Yukie fan! |
| 13. | Comments by yt [Rating: 4/10] what's the deal with koreans living in Japan. In this day and age it doesn't matter what race you are... and terrible casting, only thing going for it is the theme song! |
| 14. | Comments by kinki_txr [Rating: 6/10] Very disappointed while watching this drama but Nakama Yukie again has shown us her superb acting here. The plot is very typical Korean drama where the family objects the relationship, then one of them met up with an accident, the couple breaks up...At least there is a happy ending. |
| 15. | Comments by eltinator [Rating: 8/10] Started off so nicely but then turned sour. Nakama Yukie gives a great performance nonetheless and it's nice to see her show off her serious side. The music was very beautiful and I still say this one is worth watching! ;) |
| 16. | Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 8/10] I really liked this drama. Granted it has some ultra-cheesy qualities, e.g., common and predictable plot devices, sappy lines, and unbelievable moments like "That's the same thing my mom's boyfriend said to her!", but I felt sincere love between Nakama Yukie and Wada Toshihiro's characters in their quiet, reserved way. Maybe it was just the awesome soundtrack that kept me interested in the show. (^_~) |
| 17. | Comments by noodlefreak [Rating: 9/10] i thought it was good...Nakama Yukie is awesome |
| 18. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 6/10] I think the Japanese tried to make a Korean-type melodrama when directing this series. The acting, although good, did not seem very sincere to me. However, it was good to see Nakama Yukie play a serious role for a change, she has a lot of potential to grow in this area. It was too bad that the plot of the series did not allow her to do as much or to show off as much of her talents.
The storyline was a bit dragging and had a much too obvious twist. The relationship between Koreans and Japanese might have been accurately portrayed, but at times I felt that it was overdramatic. The person that I felt that shone in this drama was Mika's good friend who works with her. Truly, his light-hearted personality and "love" for Mika made me continue to watch this show. |
| 19. | Comments by shizukanaotoko [Rating: 8/10] i like the plot and nakama yukie~ the only drawback is that it uses all those stupid draggy korean drama elements, but compared to a korean drama, tokyo wankei is pretty good. it had a MUCH more unique plot and the issue is actually realistic *hint hint* lol. dont get me wrong i like korean dramas, but i dont think they are very realistic or unique. hehe. yup so..give this drama a try~ its not as bad as most ppl have said ^.~ |
| 20. | Comments by norani [Rating: 10/10] Yukie Nakama -- one of the best. |
| 21. | Comments by Space Godzilla [Rating: 8/10] So far so good. I really impressed with the acting too. |
| 22. | Comments by MixxDreamer [Rating: 9/10] wada-san reminds me of my husband joe odagiril heheh |
| 23. | Comments by siu dong [Rating: 7/10] a little too exaggerated and dramatic. it's also very repetitve |
| 24. | Comments by pugsy [Rating: 7/10] Not finished watching yet |
| 25. | Comments by Smiley_18 [Rating: 6/10] Watched this drama only because it had Nakama Yukie and it was filmed in Odaiba. |
| 26. | Comments by darknitelight [Rating: 8/10] this reminds me more of a korean drama for some reason.
However Yukie looked great.. |
| 27. | Comments by Geezer [Rating: 1/10] Blech! Sappy, saccharine, dumb. The worst sort of melodramatic soap opera. Yuki Nakama is pretty, but no one is pretty enough to make this bit of drek paletable. |
| 28. | Comments by Seghal [Rating: 5/10] I liked the main characters, but the other characters were totally annoying. |
| 29. | Comments by Dorochive [Rating: 1/10] This is a very effective sleeping pill. |
| 30. | Comments by sayochama [Rating: 9/10] Like a car accident, it was hard to look away -- Tokyo Wankei seems to follow a formula closer to Korean dramas than Japanese, but that doesn't detract from its ability to entertain. As usual, Nakama Yukie does a terrific job as Mika and the story itself shines in the way it portrays the identity crises of Japanese-born Korean. The ending is ultimately satisfying, as well. |
| 31. | Comments by R`zzz [Rating: ?/10] yet to watch |
| 32. | Comments by madsky [Rating: ?/10] Currently watching |
| 33. | Comments by Toni kun [Rating: 10/10] OMG.. All I can say is I wish a man like Wada Toshihiro would do those things to me,. yummy. And as for Nakamura Toru WOW I needed to see more of him.. |
| 34. | Comments by hina-sama [Rating: 7/10] First, it was for YUkie Nakama, but in the end, the drama was not bad and no good. It's a pity, because she acts well... |
| 35. | Comments by Aunty Coco [Rating: 7/10] 10/10 if u r a diehard kdrama fan... Rich gal falls in love with poor boy, accident happens & victim becomes paralysed, another accident & loss of memory... Typical korean shows with all the must-have elements... Except this one has no cancer stricken victim... Sigh... I would have only given 5/10 without the great cast & great acting by Nakama... |
| 36. | Comments by williu [Rating: 8/10] This drama has can be described to be in three phases - good beginning, boring middle and great ending. The acting is good by the most of the actors, and the story itself is very gripping. There is something fundamental missing, however. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's something that often makes this drama slightly boring to watch. That doesn't mean it's not worth watching though! |
| 37. | Comments by haruhii [Rating: 9/10] really liked the story. i think it portrays the japanese-korean tension pretty well. |
| 38. | Comments by Nat [Rating: 7/10] Good though very simple |
| 39. | Comments by aoi_hana [Rating: 9/10] So far, really good and really interesting. :) |
| 40. | Comments by emiko [Rating: ?/10] ep 1-9 |
| 41. | Comments by HavoCSkieR [Rating: 9/10] - smooth flowing drama - has its "korean" moments at times, but they flowed well enough into the jdrama style - it was hard to not think of Nakama Yukie as "yankumi" at first, but it was easy after the first few episodes |
| 42. | Comments by Susan [Rating: 9/10] It truly was my destiny to watch this series, and I'm glad that it came into my life! At times I was lifted up to great heights of joy, and at others I was plunged into trepidation and sorrow. But the ending made the series well worth my patience. Sometimes it was obvious and cheesy, but when you look at the whole picture, it was brilliant. Nakama Yukie was simply beautiful, although I'm used to seeing her in comedic roles. For her fans, and fans of J-Drama in general, this is a series to watch! |
| 43. | Comments by ahweigor [Rating: ?/10] Have not watched yet |
| 44. | Comments by miriya52 [Rating: 5/10] Boring. Overly sappy. Couldn't get past the first two episodes. |
| 45. | Comments by Manatow [Rating: ?/10] seen large chunks... |
| 46. | Comments by fighterpilot [Rating: 8/10] lots of twists in the plot!!! |
| 47. | Comments by jo [Rating: 6/10] Sensie needs to go back to the school of acting...Nakama Yukie just isn't built for heavy crying dramas like this, the 3-D class needs her comical/funny side than this. Plus, it's a cheap rip-off on Korean dramas, trying to make quick bucks on Korean boom in Japan right now. Not to mention, they actually hired the korean guy from WINTER SONATA to guest in to their drama. C+ |
| 48. | Comments by krazeealiens [Rating: 10/10] a story about korean born in japan... who have to marry her own kind and its part of tradition... OMG and who best to pay the part? nakama yukie... i love her shes soo cute such a great actress... hehe watch it its great |
| 49. | Comments by bedhead [Rating: 4/10] Sorry, but this series was just... blah. |
| 50. | Comments by qilver [Rating: ?/10] I haven't started this one yet. |
| 51. | Comments by makky [Rating: 9/10] love it. only watched it for just one day. the twist is so great that you cant wait to watch the next episode. love ryosuke and mika. |
| 52. | Comments by littlemissfab [Rating: 6/10] I really enjoyed this one. Probably because I'm not that saturated with the whole Japanese-Korean theme. |
| 53. | Comments by Etsuko [Rating: 10/10] All i can really say is ; *loooooooooong deeeeeeeeeep loooooooomging sigh* Loves it! |
| 54. | Comments by shikka [Rating: 7/10] not too bad....
nakama yukie was very serious...no funny espression as in gokusen....
but she still looks as actractive as ever.....
but the story line was predictable... |
| 55. | Comments by Sooji [Rating: 2/10] I don't know... tried liking it... couldn't happen. |
| 56. | Comments by Batoru_Rowaiaru [Rating: 10/10] It's an amazing drama and Sooooooo sweet. I love Shunsuke Nakamura and Toshihiro Wada in it. They're so cute. (Yukie Nakama is so lucky!) |
| 57. | Comments by meiohsetsuna [Rating: 6/10] Nakama Yukie plays a second generation Korean girl living out the struggles that happen in modern day Japan. Through this drama you get a bit of understanding about this situation that is still plaguing Japan. Yukie's charecter one day opens up her mother's diary and reads about the forbidden love her mother once had. She then finds herself travelling down the same path as her mother, becoming strangely attracted to a man who fits the same profile as the man her mother once loved. Will her love follow in the footsteps of her mother? |
| 58. | Comments by xhidex33 [Rating: 7/10] Wow, the most dramatic drama I've ever seen (since I don't watch Korean ones... which I'm sure are dramatic).
Like many others, I watched it because of Nakama, but it turned out alright. Not my favorite type (all love), but I enjoyed the difference.
Korean and Japanese couples... hmm |
| 59. | Comments by Aukai [Rating: 10/10] all of the love scene is very touch |
| 60. | Comments by hikaruhana [Rating: 9/10] *Great* drama and so interesting with its story of Koreans born & raised in Japan. Also liked the calligraphy. |
| 61. | Comments by KokiChan [Rating: 7/10] Good but predictable until episode 9 then it's too dramatic. The subject is realistic but not what happens... But the love story is cute... |
| 62. | Comments by Cheb [Rating: 9/10] Good ^.^ |
| 63. | Comments by akitsu [Rating: 2/10] I liked the cast but I felt no chemistry between them. I watched 3 episodes and the story wasnt developing at all. Very boring. |
| 64. | Comments by oline [Rating: 9/10] I've seen a lot of Korean dramas aruond here in the Philippines.
ypu know the stigma ..... my girlfriends swooning over the same guy who plays the lead role. But this is the first time I've seen a Japanese drama made like a Korean one . The timing and everything was very much convincingly Korean . I loved it soo much! |
| 65. | Comments by lesamouraifou [Rating: 5/10] Good but not the best Nakama Yukie's Drama!! |
| 66. | Comments by Milano [Rating: 8/10] I have learnt a lot about the koreans in this drama - however imho there were some things that didn't fit well in the story. Very good indeed, Yukie lovely in her role, should watch. |
| 67. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: ?/10] till 3 |
| 68. | Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 7/10] tried to follow a stereotypical K-drama plot and ended up being quite over the top... a bit much. Fun, however... Nakama is a joy to watch. |
| 69. | Comments by Beppo [Rating: 8/10] Nice mix of japanese and korean |
| 70. | Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 9/10] I just love it. It's so diffrent from all this doramas with puberty/youth-problems... No popstars in it, just this fucking great (and actually veeery hot *,,,*) main-character playing actor... Wada Toshihiro! He looks so damn goooo~od! *,,,* *can't stop it* I wish there'd be more dorama with him!
And for sre I loved Nakama Yukie! ^___^ Anyhow she's still the same as Yankumi and yet so different... X33 I loved to see her in this role.
Well, I also loved the traditional style of the droama... with calligraphy and all those korean-japanese stuff! Really worth seeing it! |
| 71. | Comments by CdMe [Rating: 7/10] Sadly it has some slowdowns but the rest is fine. |
| 72. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 8/10] This drama was made during the korean drama boom in Japan. You can sort of tell by watching. I myself havent seen many kdramas, but somehow I feel that it was suppose to feel like a kdrama. It was a pretty good concept. A love that is passed on to another generation, a destiny of love like part of the title suggests. I think they tried to do a little too much though, especially near the end. It was still good to watch. |
| 73. | Comments by loveaomori [Rating: 10/10] The best dorama with yukie! This one is great! so great! its very touching and I couldn't bear to wait until the next episode. I do not like love stories in general. But this one is special to me. It's a poem. The song in korean fits in so well too! |
| 74. | Comments by jdqueennm [Rating: 3/10] couldnt really follow it |
| 75. | Comments by Ikuko [Rating: 7/10] Nice drama. |
| 76. | Comments by Wynter [Rating: 7/10] Although a bit melodramatic, it was overall a great love story. |
| 77. | Comments by stardope [Rating: 10/10] Boring,,,,but Mokomichi is so damn HOT |
| 78. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 7/10] very very unrealistic story. it's all about destiny and so on, but it seems too absurd. |
| 79. | Comments by Okojo [Rating: 3/10] Boring. Could not watch it till the end. |
| 80. | Comments by JackClark [Rating: 8/10] Yukie carried this series. |
| 81. | Comments by fasix [Rating: ?/10] Destiny of Love |
| 82. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 10/10] I'm a big fan of Nakama Yukie...Usually she stars in comedies...so to see her in a dramatic role was a treat...Even though the plot to this drama was somewhat corny ...the issue of the Koreans in Japan is an important issue....which aired in this series...the music was also awesome..... |
| 83. | Comments by chrisyukiefan [Rating: 7/10] Haven't finished yet ^^ |
| 84. | Comments by Kitsuchi [Rating: 6/10] Interesting story about fate and destiny.. I liked it, though I did get bored at times, but I did watch the whole series.
I thought there were too many accidents and incidents happening in the series, and it irritated me. There were like three accidents in the series and I could foresee the two last ones.. It wasn't surprising. At times, it felt like the story were repeating itself. But I can confess that surprising moments did exist.
I was especially disappointed by the love between the main lovers. I couldn't really feel the love between them.. it was pretty hard and some things felt to be going too fast. Anyway, the actors at all were great and I liked the Korean actor, even if he barely were seen. I also liked the theme songs and so..
Despite my rate for this series, I think it should be seen anyway.. Or do whatever you want. It's not a must-see if I may utter my opinion ;/. |
| 85. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 8/10] I liked it. I'm a hopeless romantic so it's a given |
| 86. | Comments by dokodemodoa [Rating: 5/10] too melodramatic |
| 87. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10] COMPLETE. |
| 88. | Comments by bba1 [Rating: 2/10] Watched it but dropped it after the fourth or fifth episode. |
