I agree with Ralph. Why is everyone jumping on a soapbox to explain to him what he already knows? Do you guys think you are the only smart people in the world? Wynter, I know you're a teacher, but ... |

I'm so glad you liked Churasan...Ralph must be soooo happy...Churasan is his internal spiritual home, and he wants to share his joy in Eri et. al.
He and I disagreed about it a little ... |

Geezer! Of course for you the word "eccentric" was a compliment! You know, I was talking about Norika in Star No Koi. That was her defining role, and I do think she was special and fabulo ... |

Ralph...maybe there are some eccentrics who don't cave in to Norika's infinite perfections, but the many people to whom I gave a copy of Star No Koi were full of praise both for her acting and her bea ... |

New York is not a good place to live if you want to see doramas broadcast on TV, but at least I do get to go to the U.S. Open and see the tennis.
I just wanted to weigh in on the Takuya Kimura di ... |

I forgot to say one thing about supporting characters, after reading the mini-treatise posted by Ralph.
I always thought it was obvious that because the dorama format is usually 10, 11, or 12 episo ... |

I am truly fascinated by the discussion of which characters and which actors are important to this drama. I've watched it many times, at first the whole thing through, and then I did what I often do ... |

I am baffled by so much hostility being directed at Kyoko Fukada. As a non-Japanese non-male, I find her very sweet and delightful. It's not everyone who can act the innocent ingenue without a drop ... |

I've never been taken by the pretty boy image that so many dorama fans seem to love. For me they all blend into one cute mop of hair.
That's why I find Takuya Kimura so amazing...he is dazzlingl ... |

Yes, that picture. From the back she looks like Naomi, is wearing her clothes, and she's also wearing glasses, so I figured it was Naomi with her new face. I thought the fairy tale was, as their fat ... |

I just finished Pretty Girls, and I agree it was a complete dud except for Izumi, who had a lot of appeal but was given no support either from the script or her fellow actors.
