Fan reviews: Bus stop

Wynter · 13 Jan 2012

A scripted drama, to be sure, but it was just what the doctor prescribed.

It was light, corny, and romantic. I love Iijima Naoko in any and all roles, and without a definite reason, I was strangely attracted to Uchimura Teruyoshi. Instantly. I was also not-at-all annoyed by Uchiyama Rina. Perhaps it was her young age that actually made her endearing.

The one iff I have is that the end, although necessary, wasn't convincing. I still didn't truly believe Natsuo's affection.

As well. Still a heart-warming drama that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Though it is a bit unlikely I really enjoyed this story. It can be a bit slow but not terribly so and the cast is delightful. I really pulled for them to become a couple.

I am so surprised that many people did not rank this very high so far. I thought it was very good.

Iijima Naoko, Teruyoshi Uchimura, and my favorite Uchiyama Rina were all wonderful in this story.

A story of love and changing of views on what is most important in life.

A bad remake of an overused theme. This unfunny comedy is like a shirt washed too many times: a sad-looking thing, discolored and misshapen.

Iijima Naoko is beautiful beyond belief in this dorama, which is a modern interpretation of a crossing between the Cinderalla fairy tale and Miyamoto Musashi story.

All of the actors and actresses did a good job, not taking anyting away from their performance skills, but it was too predictable for me, especially at the end, and I can unfortunately see elements from other dramas in this one which is something that I dont like to see in stories. Other than this it is an ok dorama to watch. Quite funny in some areas.

The modern version of "101 proposals". I loved this drama from start to end. The lead male character Uchimura Teruyoshi may not be much eye candy, but his energetic acting more than makes up for it. This show is touching because of him. His unrelenting determination will surely touch anyone, well at least those who can bear with his looks for a few episodes. This show has humour, love, touching moments all packed together in one. Iijima Naoko and Uchiyama Rina both looked and acted great in the show. And the theme song "not found" sounded fantastic and totally blended in with the show, driving both the plot and emotions on. To anyone who can bear with a non good looking male lead, GET THIS SHOW. You won't regret it.

Simple story line but with great acting jobs from the member of the case. Naoko Iijima looked amazing in the show.

This drama is quite nice though I presumed it to be boring, it's not. Uchimura may not be the dashing kind of actor but he's a great actor. He brings the role to life. Iijima is also good in acting out the role of a working woman caught between two guys.
