One of the more heart warming dramas there is. It has everything to scary moments to laugh out loud moments. The ending was also magical....

Comical, the 3 older actors really made it worthwhile to finish watching.

Another one of Kimutaku's better dramas. It's a sad ending with aother great performance from Kimutaku. Great soundtrack also.

I can't believe I actually finished this drama. I didn't like how Fujiwara always ended the episodes by slapping somebody and making a terrible speech about how to treat women. Miyasako Hiroyuki however was very funny in this drama.
Densha Otoko [電車男]
Rating: 9/10 (Bought)
One of my favorites. It's really a great drama for the family to watch. The lead actor was a little annoying with his stuttering and crying. Nobody cries that much, I understand the nervousness part but the crying is a little too much.

This is one of my least favorite Kimutaku's dramas. I thought Shibasaki Kou would help but there was no chemistry between the two. The story was not that interesting either.

Rating: 9/10 (Bought)
I don't know where they came up with the Meteor Garden as the English translation for the title. I guess it's the Taiwanese that did it. However, JDorama translated it as Boys Over Flowers which made sense in a way but the title was from the popular Japanases proverb which literally meant "dumplings over flowers." It has a deeper meaning to it but Makino and Hanazawa Rui talked about it briefly during their trip in a car towards the end of the series.

This is why I like Matsushima Nanako because of performances like these. She's really great in this drama. She showed how she can portray 3 different yet similar roles.

Sawajiri Erika could have had a better performance. She was better in Taiyou no uta. It's a good thing she had a great supporting cast. Nishikido Ryou was fantastic and Narumi Riko was adorable. The soundtrack was great too. Konnayuki is one of my favorite drama songs ever.

It's a little disturbing how the characters liked messing around with each others head. However this drama is when I first noticed Ueto Aya for her cuteness and Fujiki Naohito's talent.

This drama is over rated but I still give it high points because of horikita maki's performance. Toda Erika even had a litte role in the drama as poor mariko.

This is the first time I saw Shibasaki Kou in a drama. Her character was annoying at first but I'm really amazed at how she played her character all the way through. I like watching her movies also.

I thought Sawajiri Erika did better in this drama than in 1 litre of tears but she can sing a little bit. Yamada Takayuki was better in Sekai no chuusin... than in this one.

Hana Yori Dango [花より男子]
Will you read this? [Rating: 9/10]
First I was hesitant to watch this dorama. I thought it was just another high school cutesie drama full of overrated young actors who are only popular because they're cute. Much to my surprise I was wrong. It's one of those I almost had to watch all the way through. I had to work the next day which prevented me from staying up all night to finish the series. There were some really funny parts in the movie and I really like Inoue Mao's expressions...they just sem to come at the right time. One of the reasons I wanted to watch the drama was because Matsushima Nanako is in it and of course she didn't disappoint me. I was also hesitant because the main characters were mostly guys but there were a lot of cute girls in it. This is the first time I saw Inoue Mao and I thought she did an excellent job portraying her character. Everybody seems to think that Matsumuto Jun is so kakkoi but I don't see it. He did a good job though I gotta give him that. That whole F4 thing was kinda ridiculous but thank god the story focuses more on Makino Tsukushi but I wish Matsushima Nanako had more part in it though. The OST was OK but then again I think I've grown over that boy band thing.
Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子]
totemo omshirokatta [Rating: 9/10]
The drama picks up from the last episode of season 1. It's actually a 2 hour seaon opener which explains why the first seaon had only nine episodes. It starts with Makino lost and alone in New York being robbed and about to attacked until her hero comes to save her. Could it be Tsukasa or somebody else? Another excellent performance from everybody especially Inoue Mao and Matsu Jun. They got into their characters really well. Of course a few characters and guests were added into the series that made the drama more interesting. I liked Shigeru's character and how she always played an innocent villain all the way up to the end when she finally stabbed Makino in the back by lying to her only to take it back right away and play the heroine. They could have made Umi's character a little more evil but I guess they don't want her to be as annoying as Sakurako's character. I was hoping they would have gotten deeper into Akira's background and maybe developed a sort of Gokusen story out of it. Instead they focused more on Shouichiro's love story. I was hoping they'd lay off Domyouji's violent scenes but I guess family entertainment is quite different in Japanese standards than that of American Standards. Seriously all these headbutting and beating up a group of guys by yourself gets ridiculous and redundant after a while. Because of my limited Japanese skills, I had to watch it in subtitles and was kinda disappointed with the translation sometimes. One of the funniest parts is how Domyouji is always using the wrong words or phrases in Japanese and I know it's suppose to be funny but it's not as funny translated. Overall, I'm sad the series ended I kinda wanted to see more. the ending was the usual fairy tale ending but quite nice. HYD 2 is not a sequel but more of a continuation of the whole story so I suggest you watch it if you liked the first one. It's longer than the first one so you wouldn't be disappointed.
Long Love Letter [ロング・ラブレター〜漂流教室]
WTF?! [Rating: ?/10]
The title does NOT say anything at all about the drama. In the end they mentioned something about the relevance of a long love letter but that was in the end. I was hesitant to watch the drama but I heard some good reviews so I said why not see for myself. It starts out as a typical romantic story. Boy meets girl in the beginning and by some chance lost contact with each other. So a year later boy becomes teacher and girls works in a flower shop. Boy had some interesting students who had love stories of their own. During winter vacation boy asks some of his students to come to school for remedial class. That day it so happens Girl goes to school to deliver flowers and bumps into boy again. They have a little catching up and ends up in a quarrel about each others personalities until girl walks away only to stop and speaks to boy about that day they met a year ago. Their romantic story is about to start again until a quake happens.... This is when you find out that the whole school disappeared and warps into the future somehow. Interesting story, kinda reminds me of LOST, a TV series in the US. Everybody learns how to fight for survival in this new futuristic world while the love ones they leave behind cope with their loss. I like how the creator of the drama envisions a totally different future not of technological advancement but instead the end of the world because of technology and global wars. The whole story makes you wonder that it is possible that the world can end up that way. The ending was open to interpretation, it wasn't a happy ending nor a sad ending. Throughout the series not everybody survives and some of my favorite characters dies. But does anybody survive at all? Like I said the ending is open to interpretation.
Nemureru mori [眠れる森]
Could be better [Rating: 6/10]
The pace is slow and there's no build up to the climax. I do admit that I couldn't figure out the suspense and just had to take guesses which were right in the end but I was sure it wasn't the obvious. There's a few things didn't like in the drama. 1. Why did a few characters have to die unnecessarily. 2. Why throw in a some characters like Keiichiro's mom that will leave you hanging. 3. What is up with that ending? The two can't end up together so one of them died? How did that person even die? I'm so disappointed at that ending. It's similar to the other Kimutaku drama "The smile has left your eyes". At the least the tragedy in the end was more fitting and justified.

Keeps You Guessing [Rating: 8/10]
This is one of a kind drama. After watching the first 2 episodes I wondered how else are they going to prolong the story? Somehow they did and made it even more interesting. I understand how they fooled Toda Erika's character the first time and even the second time but the third time? That was kind kinda poorly written. I guess after the third time, it explains how she eventually willingly volunteered to enter the 4th game. Also they could've expanded more on the story behind the game's creator. Matsuda Shota's main purpose in participating in the games is to find oout who is behind all this and finally he meets the guy and then what? Lame... I still enjoyed the drama more because of all the games they played with all the twist and turns.
