Sawajiri Erika [沢尻 エリカ] I've never joined any forum before, but Erika is just such a good actress that I couldn't resist to join this forum, and thats why I vote for her.
Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Absolutely worth watching and recommended. [Rating: 9/10] I've watched the Taiwanese version, Meteor Garden, of Hana Yori Dango before. I have to admit I didn't liked Meteor Garden at all (unlike most people). Before I watched Meteor Garden I was full of expectations, because I'd heard it was one of the best drama's or something like that. But when I actually watched it, I felt really disappointed. But Hana Yori Dango in controversion was absolutely great. I think it's because of the cast is way better than the ones in Meteor Garden (no offence to anyone who loves Meteor Garden). It's just that Hana Yori Dango was way more realistic than Meteor Garden. The F4 in Meteor Garden wasn't that scary at all, I'd think alright a red notice, so what? But in Hana Yori Dango all the students would help F4 out and F4 really punches the students very hard and they stuff they did were way more awfull then the F4 did in Meteor Garden. Only too bad it was so short compared with Meteor Garden.
Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] You'll regret it if you don't watch this one [Rating: 10/10] My sister looked at me with red eyes, all swollen up, like she'd been crying for hours, and recommended me to watch this drama.
I bet I would've never known what the feeling is to cry during a drama if I didn't see this one. It was amazing. From the begining to the last few seconds it was just awfully good.
I watched this one not because of someone of the cast or because everyone has seen it and I don't wanna miss out, no. I watched it out of curiosity. With no expectation at all. But then after 1 or 2 episodes, my jaw dropped. It was unpredictably good.
After I finished it, it made me angry at the fact, that with all the technology we have, we're not able to cure such a damned disease. It made me think about how cruel people could be. It made me realise how grateful I have to be, just to be able to walk.
Even days, weeks, after I finished this drama, it still makes me think about it. Not only the sad events, but also the great acting, remains in my memory. And will not be erased.
Taiyou no uta [タイヨのうた] 'having a big smile on my face without knowing it' [Rating: 9/10] Erika Sawajiri looks really great in this drama, she'd replaced her extremely cute image with an extremely hot image. And once again I got totally astonished by her superior acting skills This time Erika got another disease, but it isn't so sad as 1 Litre of Tears was, although it made me shed a few tears at the end. Actually it deserves a 10, but I compared it with 1 Litre of Tears (wich I actually shouldn't have done). But in this drama there were more scenes wich made me having a big smile on my face without even knowing it. The music and the songs were super great too.
Finally I want to say that not only Erika, but the other ones in the cast were very great too, but Erika just made me love her even more...
