Ace wo Nerae! [エースをねらえ!] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) OMG! This dorama is really boring... Altough i LOVE tennis... and even play it... This dorama couldn't make me feel a lil' bit excited. The characters are annoying!!! The casting really sux (speacially BECKY, even her appearences on TV makes me feel sick!!!)
Damn... sry Ueto Aya... but this one was bounded to fail!!! The r just a couple of thins that r good 'bou this dorama... Ueto Aya and her song...!! | Ai No Uta [あいのうた] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Its somewhat strange.... it doenst feel like a japanese dorama.
The plot is very good and original... the "flashbacks" r really sad.... altough i didnt like this dorama thaaaaat much i must say that this one is a good one, specially if one is tired of those "regular" doramas..... Wich is not my case.!
Its really worth watching. It shows that japanese doramas r not limited by those "comedy and tragedy" stories.... | Akihabara@DEEP [アキハバラ@DEEP] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) It is kind of an IWGP meets Densha Otoko....
For those who liked Densha, Akihabara@DEEP is waaaaay better than that! Altough i must say that some actors really sux... specially Kosaka Yuko... i mean... shes beatiful and can put some really amazing fighting scenes... but her acting skills r far from being the best....
And those "u must watch the DVD" parts r really annoying! I mean... c'mon.. how desperate one can be to sell those DVDs...
Nways.. its a good dorama afterall... really worth a try... An Akihabara's version of IWGP... really funny! |
At Home Dad [アットホーム・ダッド] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Overall a "OK" dorama.... but imo the "main" plot is quite boring.. "At Home Dad" just show the every day life of a father doing the house errands....
Because of that many episodes doesnt have any relation with each other whatsoever..... Maybe they could have worked a lil bit more on the plot.
As for the casting.... NaH... Abe Hiroshi is quite annoying as a father. I mean.... not that Abe~san is a bad actor... but hes just not fit for this character.
Nways.... there r many better "family doramas" than "At Home Dad" (beinh HOTMAN the number 1!!!!) | Attack No.1 [アタック No.1] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) The girls are a little old... and the ending really sucks (it woulb be nice if the made another season for this DORAMA)... Altough i dindt expect much from this one... It really suprised me... ITS quite enjoyable.... Altough its faaaaaar from beign the best... u could say its OK... (i tough this dorama would be something like Ace wo Nerae!.... in other words... HORRIBLE!) | Attention Please [アテンションン プリース] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Well... firstly i didnt think i was goin' to enjoy "another" flight company dorama (I hated "Good Luck!!!")
But this one is really good! Nice characters... the plot is also superb...!!
Well.. but something is missing in it... i dunno what....
Nways... afterall i found "Attention Please" a nice dorama... Its worth a try! |
Bambino! [バンビーノ!] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Bambino! is really cool in the beginning but gets really bad at the last episodes.... almost painful to watch!
The casting is OK... some actors plays better than the others... But the 2 actors that really caught my attention were Matsujun and Ryuta Sato... They were outstanding is this dorama...
BtW.. im not sure... but isnt Ikeuchi Hiroyuki in the episode 7???? OMG... i was shocked... hes soooo different!!! But hes still an amazing actor!!!!
Nways... i will give this dorama a 6 out of 10... Afterall i really enjoyed those first episodes.... (oh.. i forgot to mention... this dorama has one of the most predictable endings ever!!!) | Battle Royale - Survival Program [バトル・ロワイアル] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) I dont think this movie was perfect... But i must admit that it was good!!! | Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) There r better doramas.... It is just OK imo.... |
Brother Beat [ブラザー☆ビート] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Really nice dorama.... Honestly i wasnt expecting much from Brother Beat... but as the episodes goes on u really start to support the three brother and their mother....
HOTMAN still is IMO the best "family" dorama... But Brother Beat gets real close to it... And the history is really creative... Most doramas focus on the father... and brother beat is really different in that aspect... Something more or less like Summer Snow...
The casting is also superb... I really felt in love with the characters of this dorama... The music is OK... Brother Beat is a really well made dorama... I recommend it!!! | Byakuyakou [白夜行] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) What a depressing yet enjoyable dorama...
Since i read the first reviews on this site.. i was expecting something similar to Sekai no chuushin... but OMFG!! Did those guys even watched both doramas... apart from the casting they have nothing in common!!!!
BtW... i never tough that Atsuro Watabe was such a splendid actor!!! (From the silly brother in Beautiful Life to this Evil character in Byakuyakou...!!! He's amazing!!!)
Well... i dont enjoy depressing doramas that much... (thats y i gave it only a 8 out of 10...) but i must say that this one is really good!!! For those who like this kind of dorama... i really recommend it!!! =^^= | Chakushin Ari [着信あり] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Well... The BGM is creepy!!! (and also some parts of the dorama...) Butthey could have used some better special effects!!! (C'mon.. the dorama is pretty new!!!)
Nway.. IMO the dorama is good... but the ending really sux... |
Dandori [ダンドリ] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) I didnt like the main story.. most of the time i was more interested in the side-stories..
The casting... damn.. it sucks!! Really.... in this dorama the only actor that i would give Thumbs up would be Masaki (who was really funny in this dorama) and Keiko Toda (damn!! I miss the Shomuni!!!!!! Shes so talentous!!!)
The girls.... well... imo they r not even THAT cute.. i mean... if u r looking for a dorama with cute girls just go watch Gyarusa...
And if u r looking for a good "sport"'s related dorama... go watch H2, Waterboys or even Attack No.1... Dandori is just BAD!!!! | Densha Otoko [電車男] Rating: 1/10 (Watched) One of the worst doramas i ever watched!!!!! If not the worst...
The whole dorama is just a waste of time.....
Maybe if u like anime and stuff u may like this dorama... otherwise.... its just terrible!!!! | Dr Koto - Shinryousho [Dr.コトー診療所] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) What an amazing dorama.... Really... first of all i hate medical shows.... doesnt matter if its like those sitcoms like E.R., Scrubs, House. Those "reality" shows 'bout plastic surgery... Nways I REALLY HATE MEDICAL SHOWS!!!
But Dr Koto - Shinryousho is wonderful... Its so touching!!! Heart warming!!! The plot and the casting r perfect... BtW.. i've seen that some ppl didnt like the main char. IMO he was the best... the writter really come with something different when they created the Koto's Char....
Nways... from making someone who trully hates medical shows to love a medical dorama.... Dr Koto has to get a perfect score. |
Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It starst really slow... (it takes 2 episodes for one to understand how this dorama is going to be...) and by the end it gets really boring.. (they really show the students taking the exams...)
But the plot is very original... i must say that it has nothing to do with Gokusen or GTO except the fact it's also 'bout high school life...
Well... imo its a good dorama...
I really like the ending... Very different... i mean... i dont know y all high-school life doramas have to end just like Gokusen and GTO!!! | First Kiss [ファースト・キス] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) Damn... First Kiss is all about cliches!!!! The whole dorama is full of them.... Its the most predictable dorama i've ever watched!!! I mean, one can predict the whole dorama just by watching the first episode... Well... at least for me it was really boring.
The casting is good... really good... But the rest is just boring!! Maybe its worth watching if one have watched many doramas... otherwise stay away from this one... =^^= | Gachi Baka ! [ガチバカ !] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Overall its not a BAD dorama... tough its far from beign a good one... there r good aspects in Gachibaka! But most of times it fails to entertainm the viewer. =^^= For those who liked Gokusen, GTO.. Gachibaka its just the same... no innovations whatsoever. But the main plot and casting were better in Gokusen>O... so even if u LOVED those 2... u still have high chances of disliking Gachibaka!
BtW.. the ending is worst than GTO's.... I really hated the ending... its just... Stupid... |
Gal Cir [ギャルサ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) What a lovely dorama!
And wat else can we ask??? Beautiful actress such as Yaguchi Mari (former Morning Musume member), Toda Erika (main role... u~huuu!!!!), Aragaki Yui (in a much cooler role than the one she did in Dragonzakura), Suzuki Emi.....
And not to mention that this one have one of the most funny casting ever!!! Namase Katsuhisa (the legendary head-teacher from Gokusen), Furuta Shinta (any relation with Furuta Arata???), Sato Ryuta (IMO he's the japanese version for Jin Carrey.. LoL).
And Fujiki Naohito plays his role really WELL!! The foreign accent he does is marvelous!!! He's really funny in this dorama...
Gyarusa is really silly... no doubts 'bout that... But its the funniest dorama i've ever watched!!! I gave a 9 out of 10 only because of that UNREALISTIC part in the ending... But i must say i quite enjoyed the ending of this dorama...
Really worh a try if u r looking for some laughs.... | Ganbatte Ikimasshoi [がんばっていきまっしょい] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) OMG... I hope that rowing isnt as boring as this dorama... In the last episodes i was really bored! (skipping some scenes... playing Solitarie while watching it.... and so on)
And all those "ya... ya.. ya..." really got on my nerves!!! I dont know wich region of Japan ppl speaks like that... but i hope that i will never end up there... ("GanbatteYA..")
I dont quite understand how so many ppl enjoyd this dorama... Nishikido and Taguchi's chars were so alike.. i mean... they could use one "cheerfull" char.. i know its kind of "cliche" but at leat it would make "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi" more of a watchable dorama... The girls were ok... no bad acting... but the again nothing special neither....
But the worst point of this dorama is the plot... or the lack of a plot... Go watch Waterboys... its much better than this one!!! | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) PERFECT!! So damm Funny!!! Just love it..... |
Gokusen 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Just like the first one.. with different students....
For those who liked the first one.... this one is good enough (well... i must say that imo the first one is waaaaay better than Gokusen 2) Dunno y but while i was watching i couldn't help thinking that the first one had a better cast... better stories....
If one miss Gokusen and Yankumi one will problably fell happy while watching Gokusen 2... still... one will problably miss the other actors.... (specially Itoh and Nakazawa...) | Good Luck !! [グッドラック!!] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) The actors are OK... but the plot really sucks!!! | GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 7/10 It would be much better if its not by that horrible song "Poison" |
H2~Kimi to itahibi [2〜君といた日々] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) I wasnt expecting much from this dorama... i mean... i dont like baseball... and i tough it would be really strange to have the actor from Sekai Chuusin playing a sport Dorama... But in the end;... i really enjoyed this one... is not the best... but its really good... if i think about sports dorama... this one is the best ive seen... | Haikei, Chichiue-sama [拝啓、父上様] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Haikei, Chichiue-sama is a good dorama... But probably most young ppl wont like it.... since they r used to those fast passed stories.. wich Haikei is not!!!
This dorama has a beatiful story... And it gets even better after some episodes.... The casting is also superb!!! U could even forget that Haikei is just a dorama... and start believing that those ppl really exists in the real world! And thats because all the actors play their roles with amazing acting skills.!!!
Haikei is really an awesome dorama... And its good 2 watch those kind of slow progress story's dorama once in a while... Thumbs up!!! | Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Hilarious!!! But sometimes it gets really predictable.... IMO Meteo Garden is much better than this... 'bout the casting.. i think it was just OK... the main actors r really good while the supporting roles r really questionable.... (some actors doesnt fit their chars. at least imo) Its a good dorama but it not one of the best... |
Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Pretty good (just like the first season...) I didn't like the last episode tough.... That "thing" that happen with Tsukasa over the 2 last episodes was really unecessary (at least imo...) it didn add nthing to the plot... and it was kind of silly and unrealistic....!!!
Well... in the end... Hana Yori Dango is a quite enjoyable dorama.. If u like the first season u ought to watch this one!!! | Hanayome to Papa [花嫁とパパ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) What a lovely dorama... Hanayome to Papa is really GOOD!!! The casting is superb... I love all the actor... but one of them really caught my attention... Wakui Emi.... OMG shes a excelent actress!!!
Tokito Saburo is really good in this doramas as well... 'bout the couple... well... they were OK... I mean.. They put a good show but it was nothing thaaaat special! Most young actors could play their chars. Btw.. imo Satomi~chan and Junno doesnt have a good chemistry betwen them......
Nways... this dorama is really good... and some parts r really funny!!! I really enjoyed Hanayome.... | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Good actors.. good soundtrack... nice scenarios... but a lame plot.
Eventough it has its original concepts the plot is pretty obvious... they could have pulled something much better with their idea... Anways... its enjoable but forgetable.... |
Hotaru no Hikari [ホタルノヒカリ] (Watched) Currently watching... | hoteriaa [ホテリアー] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) First of all... Do they really had to show Yon~sama so many times?? I know he got famous in Japan after Winter Sonata... but C'mon... there's a limit of how many times u can show the EXACTLY same scene in one dorama....
Nways... Hotelier (Hoteriaa) is an OK dorama... one of those that u can easily forget after watching it.... Eventough the casting is good... it fails on adding something spetacular to the dorama....
And that LOVE-"PENTAGON" is relly annoying... it almost made the dorama look like a Mexican soap opera... | Hotman [ホットマン] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) One of the best doramas ive watched.... The most heartwarming dorama ever... Yamauchi Nana plays her char. in an adorable way... u just can help falling in love with her....
BtW... The casting is superb! It seems like every actor really fits perfectly their respective chars. Im not much of a fan of these "family's doramas"... but this one really touched my heart... Thumbs up!!!! |
Hotman 2 [ホットマン2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) As most of ppl who have watched HOTMAN2 i was like "WtF?" when i first saw Shima... Actually i wouldn't mind if they had only changed the actress (Altough imo Konishi Manami is much better of an actress than Itoh Misaki) however they completely changed Shima's character as well...
Ryonosuke, Haiji and Hinata have the same personality they had on the first show... But Shima is less shy... less caring... Well.. i didnt like that at all...
Afterall i must say that i liked the first one better... But i gotta say that i think that HOTMAN2 is funnier than the previous one.
HOTMAN2 is a good dorama... but the "original" one is waaaay better than this!!! | Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) DAMM... everything about this DORAMA is PERFECT... Actors... Plot... Songs...!!!! Sawajiri Erika is one of the most talentous actress ive seen! Thumbs up for her! Nways... ive never cried so much while i was watching a dorama... it even painful to watch some scenes from this dorama..... Definitly a must-see!!! 1ritoru no namida has become one of my all time fav....
I JUST LOVE IT!!!! | Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) IWGP is one of the best...!!
The casting is marvelous!!
Seriously... i dont know how to describe how much i liked this dorama....!!!!
And the ending...GOSH.... its PERFECT!!!!
Definetly one of the best!!!! |
Ima Ai ni Yukimasu [いま会いにゆきます] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Very good dorama indeed.. but i must agree that u should watch this first, then watch the movie.... The dorama gives more details but if u watch the movie first probably u will find that the dorama is not that good....
BtW... i never tought that Narimiya would do such a marvelous job playing a "father"... but he DID!!! Thumbs up!!!! | Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu - Rosshukan no kiseki [いま、会いにゆきます- 6週間の奇蹟] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Really SAD!!! Much better than the DORAMA version... this movie is awesome... love the scenarios (OMG!! Where is that place.... its Freaking beautiful!!!)
The actors r superb.... OMG!!! Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu problably is one of the most touch movies ive ever watched (jap or not...)
And those "teru teru bozo".. Damn... those things will forever be in my mind.... The simplest yet smartest thing i've ever seen in a movie!!!! | Kaidan Hyaku Shosetsu [怪談百物語] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) One probably wont be scared while watching Kaidan Hyaku Shosetsu... But it has some pretty good sad stories and others that r really heartwarming.... I really enjoyed the last story (the one 'bout the "yuki no hana") and the ending was really nice...
BtW.. for those who r watching only the episode 'cause of Kobozuka... imo the "werewolf" story was the worst one...
IMO the best story definetly is "Ubasuteyama"... Its really sad!!! |
Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 2/10 (Watched) The actors r good... but the plot is a little bit boring.... it could be better made! =^^=
The ending is the best part IMO... | Kirakira Kenshui [きらきら研修医] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Dont know y so many ppl hated this dorama... I mean... i laughed a lot while wactching it.. (specially when the instructor were played by Papaya~san and Namase Katsuhisa...)
The actors were really funny... even Went Eiji from WaT surprised me and did a good job (his expressions were hilarious!!!) Altough i must say that Koike Teppei is waaaay better of an actor than him...
Konishi plays her character really well... (finally!! Shes the main actress of some dorama... just for that i give this dorama one more point...)
Well... i really enjoyed this dorama... I mean.. its easly forgetable... but yet enjoyable! | Kisarazu Cat's Eye [木更津キャッツアイ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Its funny... the actor r good... but i didnt really like the plot.... |
Kurosagi [クロサギ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) From the beginning i tough "kurosagi" would be a good dorama to watch... but after some time u just get sick of it...
The end is kind of silly too...
It could have been much better.... Thumbs up for Yamapi and Horikita Maki... | Long vacation [ロングバケーション] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) One of the Best Kimura Takuya's work... (the best one would be PRIDE... IMO)
Altough i dont enjoy ROMANCE doramas that much... this one is really worth!!! =^^= | Love generation [ラブジェネレーション] Rating: 2/10 (Watched) Its just like Pride, Good Luck!!, Beautiful Life... but IMO Pride and Beautiful Life r much better...
Didnt like the ENKA song... and the plot is really simple...
To make things worst... some actors doesnt fit their chars. very well... Uchino Masaaki is really annoying playing the older brother...!!!
Love Generation isnt bad.... its just too simple imo... |
Lunch no Joou [ランチの女王] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Really good actors... Even the support roles r perfect.... The plot was well made... But the ending could be a little better... If not by that i would have a 10 for Lunch no Joou | Majo no jouken [魔女の条件] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Overrated!!! I mean... Majo no Jouken is a good dorama... but i have watched much better ones...
The casting is good... the main plot is OK... but it feels like something is missing.......
Well... imo the dorama is just OK..... | Mison Ikkoku [めぞん一刻] Rating: 2/10 (Watched) ?!?!?!?! Was it supposed to be funny??? I didnt enjoy it at all... it almost looks like those Morning Musume's sketchs... without the Morning Musume girls... (so its not worth it...)
I dunno... i didnt like the casting neither... im not saying the actors r bad... but they didnt have anu chemistry at all....
Mison (Maison) ikkoku is just BLEH... |
My Little Chef Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Yada Akiko did a wonderful job in this dorama.. on the other hand... the Dorama appears (at least imo) that it doesnt have a main plot whatsoever...
Nways.. some of the stories r good... others not that much... well.. wat im trying to say is My Litte Chef is not the best dorama... (it faaar from beign that) its just OK!!! | Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A excelent dorama... I really liked to watch Okada Yoshinori as a teacher... (damm... he's soooo funny!!!)
And the trio (kuzuya, yamapi and Horikita) has an increditable chemistry in this dorama... they work really well together....
Very original... the plot is marvelous.... and the ending is also unexpectable...... Really nice...!!! | Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ−レ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Overall a good dorama.... Splendid casting... a nice plot and scenes that made me laugh my head out!!! But yes.. i must agree with those who say that Nodame Cantabile is a lil bit overrated..
I mean... its a good dorama (at least imo) but there r many other better than this.
IMO the major problem in Nodame is the ridiculous number of characters in the story (and its not like they appear just one episode and disappear.. they continue appearing on the dorama as the show goes on...) I found a lil hard to pay attention for the main couple, the two teachers, the maestro, the S-oke's members, the R-S member's, Chiakis's ex-girlfriend, the school director, Nodame's friends, the gay violinist, Mine's father, the reporter and his assistent... Damn... do they really need that many characters??? |
Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) OMG!! Orange Days has the best scene of "love declaration" EVERRRR!!! And the second best as well!!!
Damn... ORANGE DAYS is soooo heartwarming!! And it show how good is to have friends! The casting is marvelous.... Narimiya.. Shirashi Miho... the singer Shibasaki Kou... and of course.. Tsumabuki Satoshi! IMO Tsumabuki is one of the most talentous actors in Japan! And he did a marvelous job in Orange Days...!!!
Orange Days is my fav. dorama so far...!!! | Oyaji~ [オヤジぃ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Didnt like all the Dorama... But the last 3 or 4 episodes were really touching!!! But most of all i was really surprised by the chemistry betwen the actors... it is great..... | Papa to Musume no Nanokakan [パパとムスメの7日間] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Really funny... With a wonderful casting....
The show has some minors problems that annoyed me a lot... but in the end i loved this dorama.. So far one of the best that ive watched on 2007.... (loosing to Proposal Daisakusen)
Aragaki Yui's acting skills really surprised me... Altough Hiroshi~san really steals the show!!! He's an amazing actor... I really like to see more of his works. (looking for them right now... WOWWWW... he plays Oda Nobunaga!!! =^^=)
A really good dorama.... I wouldn't had complained if they made it a little longer... really worth a try.... |
Pride [プライド] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) 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!!! | Proposal Daisakusen [プロポーズ大作戦] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Almost perfect... Proposal starts really good, and then each episodes seems to get a little better thant the previous one.... But in the end it gets worst! Speaking of ending.. Proposal Daisakusen has one of the most predictable endings ever.. (at least imo) i could almost say everything that would happen in the end..
But overall its an excellent dorama.. The casting is superb, The songs are awesome (Ashita Haeru Kana by: Kuwata Keisuke is wonderful!) In the end this dorama is really heartwarming... and some scenes r really funny!!! If only the end of this dorama was a little bit better i would give a 10 out of 10... | raiaa geemu [ライアーゲーム] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Not a good dorama... and it gets really boring after a while...
Even Kurosagi (wich i didnt like) was somewhat better than this one..
Toda Erika did a good job playing her char. but the rest of the casting didnt help her... Matsuda Shota is really annoying (i mean.... he did a good job in HYDs... but i guess he didnt quite fit his char in Liar Game...)
Liar Game is a poor dorama... the casting is bad... The only i thing i REALLY enjoyed was the OST.!!! |
Ruri no shima [瑠璃の島] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Really heart warming...!!! Good actors... beatiful locations... (makes u wish that u could live somewhere like that island... well.. at least i did...)
The ending is really nice!!! | Sailor Fuku to Kikanju [セーラー服と機関銃] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) I kind like this dorama... Altough i tough it was a comedy (judging from what i've seen on the first episode) i was really shocked to find out that it was a tragedy...
And thats something unusual... Nagasawa Masami's character would fit a comedy dorama better. Nothing agaisnt Nagasawa~chan... but they could give her a character that would actually fit the plot. The rest of the casting is ok... nothing spetacular nor bad.
Well... i liked the plot... very original!! The only huge problem is the one mention before... tha main char. doesnt fit the story...
But overall its a nice dorama... | Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu [世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) SAD!!! But the idea of Sekai no chuushin is not really original... i mean.... i kind of tired of those (a girl n a boy falls in love with each other.... most of the times the GIRL has a disease... and both of them fight in order to have a happy life)
Each dorama changes a lil bit the plot... but in the end they r all just the same....
Nways... if i dindt watched other doramas before.... maybe i would have enjoyed Sekai better... ITS a EXCELENT DORAMA... Worth a 9 out of 10.... |
Shomuni [ショムニ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) One of a kind.... damn.. its hilarious!!!
Esumi Makiko really caught my attention.. Shes a good actress.!!! And all the other actors have done a excelent job as well.....
If u r looking for something different... i recommend this one... =^^= | Shomuni 2 [ショムニ 2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Better than the first one.. at least imo...
The last episode is marvelous...
Altought most of the times i dont like sequels as i liked the first one(e.g.: Gokusen 2... Trick 1&2.. and probably Hana Yori Dango 2) I really enjoyed Shomuni 2 better than the first... | Shomuni Final [ショムニ ファイナル/庶務二課] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) IMO Shomuni 2 was the best one... Shomuni Final starts really well. But the last episodes really sucks (speacially the LAST ONE) Well... but its still a good dorama to watch... really enjoyable! |
Summer snow Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Really good... but i didnt like the theme song... specially at the final episode... | Sushi Oji! [スシ王子!] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Quite a nice dorama.... "Sushi Oji" use the same idea of "KiraKira Kenshui" one main character going under the guidance of many instructors. But unlikely KiraKira, Sushi Oji dont waste time over trivial things (e.g.: support character's history... On KiraKira there's even one whole episode just for one of the instructors..) Well... afterall Sushi Oji is 3 episodes shorter than KiraKira.
Nways... the casting is pretty lame and the 2 JE's guys dont add much for this dorama. while i was watching the dorama i keep asking myself y would they cast "famous" actors as support roles... i mean... they totally steals my attencion from the main actor (for petes mama's sake... its been ages since Koichi~kun last appeared on a dorama... If it was not for the KinKi Kids i probably wouldnt even remember him).
Nways... except for the casting... Sushi Oji is a quite nice dorama imo.... | Swing Girls [スウィングガールズ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) A pretty decent movie... Im not really a fan of musicals... but this one is really good... And its really funny (altough its smart at the same time... not like Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle...) Its really worth to watch... |
Taiho shichauzo [逮捕しちゃうぞ] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) I didnt like this dorama very much.... Its... hummmm... strange!!
The fighting scenes r 2 horrible... some actors r terrible!! On the other hand Taihou shichauzo is really original...!! And i must say that i laughed really hard at some parts...!!!
I guess u can say that this one is OK.... | Taiyou no uta [タイヨのうた] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Good Dorama... The casting is ok! Altough i LOVE Sawajiri Erika, Yamada Taiyuki is far away from beign one of my fav. actors...
And i must say that i liked the movie better... IMO even the song from the movie ("Good Bye Days" by Yui) is better than the songs from the dorama...
Overall i really enjoyed the dorama.. I found it really heartwarming! In the end i liked it more than i tough that i would.... | Tiger & Dragon [タイガー&ドラゴン] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) At the beginning i wasnt expecting much from this dorama...
But i really changed my opnion after wathing the first episode...!! And it gets better and better!!!
Tiger & Dragon remenbers me of Kisarazu cat's Eye... not only because of the casting (Okada Junichi, Tsukamoto Takashi and Abe Sayado...) but also because the way the episodes are developed...
Nways... i really recommend this one for ppl who r looking for something differente... I had a good time while watching this one!!! Thumbs Up!!! |
Trick [トリック] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Its strange.... but good at the same time...
If u r tired of watching all these romance doramas and comedies... this one should do great!!!!
It remenber me of Scooby Doo... LoL... | Trick 2 [トリック2] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) The first pne was much better... altough i liked some stories from this one (the last one and the taxi one...) | Trick 3 [トリック3] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) The ending is the BEST!!! The stories are a little weak in this one... Specially the one where the old folks never dies... (the explanation for the trick is the worst from all series...) i still believe that Trick 1 was the best of all.... |
Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm [牛に願いを - Love & Farm] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) A good casting... a beatiful scenario (i loved the fact that now i can say that at least one dorama that i've watched dont take place in a big/medium size city*Osaka, Tokyo, Shizuoka....* or in some island in Okinawa)
Honestly "Ushi ni Negai wo" is quite funny. And the plot is not thaaaat bad (altough a little "cliche")
The major problem is the uncontable things that goes by without a explanation! SPECIALY the fact that one student keep appearing and dissapearing in a randomly way!!! And.. OMFG.. that love-square is REALLY annoying!
Eventough i kind liked this dorama... i cant give anything better than a 5 out of 10... | Wakaba no koro [若葉のころ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) The firs dorama ive watched....
Altough i dont remenber it really well.. (i was 11 years old back then..... btw... now im 22) i remember that it was pretty good!!!!
I really liked this dorama... i wish i could watch it again.... its worth a try!! | Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Great Dorama... Really funny (i couldnt stop laughing from the beginning to the end of this dorama!!!!)
Awasome casting...!!! An original plot...
Honestly one of the best doramas ive ever watched!!!!
Definetly a MUST-SEE!!! If i could i would give a 11 out of 10....
Seriously... ITs REALLY FUNNY!!! Funnier than Gokusen, Kisarazu, Tiger & Dragon, Densha Otoko, or n other dorama ive watched!!!! |
Water Boys 2 [ウォーターボーイズ2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) But for the ending... this dorama would get a 10/10 score..!!
In many ways its much better than the first water boys... The plot... the casting... the music (hmmm... the music?!? NVM... The first one had better bgms...) But the ending is REALLY disappointing... well.. at least imo...!! But overall its an excelent dorama!!! | Wonderful Life [ワンダフルライフ] (Watched) Currently watching... | Yamada Taro Monogatari [山田太郎ものがたり] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) First things first i didnt read the manga.... so i cant make any comparison (in fact.. i never read mangas... they give me headache)
Nways... its a lovely dorama... Nino and Sho r great actors, specially nino... but i must agree with those who say that he didnt fit Tarou's character really well.... But still he's a good actor and beside that problem he managed to play his char really well....
The relationship betwen those 3 main characters kind of remind me of Wakaba mo Koro (thnx GOD they didnt use a love-triangle situation!!!)
But if theres sumthing 'bout this dorama that really should be praised... that imo would be the last episode!!! Damn... Yamada Taro Monogatari has one of the best endings i've ever seen!!! Really touching!!!! |
Yan Papa [やんパパ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Its beautiful!!! Its really touching! The IWGP's couple is r perfect in this dorama... (altough the dont play a couple...) Also Goto Maki plays her char. really well.... Very good Dorama... | Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru [ヤンキー母校に帰る] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Its good... imo even better than Gokusen, Dragonzakura, Gachibaka! or GTO.... Much more original.. and the plot is really good. And for once someone didnt try that "New-teacher-worst-class" explanation... When the new teacher always end up in the class that school doesn't want...
But the ending ruins all the dorama!!! It could've been much better!! (Well.. i didnt watch the SP...) but i felt like i was missing one last episode....
Nways... afterall i really enjoyed Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru..!! | Yasha [夜叉] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Better than i expected (yeah... i wasnt expecting much on this one...)
Nways.. its waaaay to predictable... And it could be like 2 episodes shorter (maaaaany scenes r tottaly unnecessary...)
"bout the casting... the only actor ive see in another doramas before was Abe Hiroshi and hes amazing (no matter what role hes playing) and Kashiwabara Shuji (from Ace wo Nerae). Both of them r good in this dorama... but Ito Hideaki steals the spotlight!! He has some amazing acting skills.... *thumbs up for him*
Well... maybe if i liked a lil bit more those suspense dorama i would have enjoyed it a lil more...!!! But imo Yasha is just OK.... |
