Fan reviews: Food fight

popdod · 21 Jul 2008

The only attraction of this dorama is the THEME SONG. Other than that, none of the story interest me. Kinda expected ending for every episodes. You will definitely knows who will win for every competition. Story plot kinda dull and lucky for the theme song, that makes me watching it till the end.

This is a rather weird J-Drama, and I wouldn't really recommend those who are on diet to watch this drama, as you'll be influenced to eat and eat until you popl. This J-Drama is rather a disappointment, its not the best, but not the worst. Its OK and average!

It's one of those feel-good doramas that's predictable but still made me go awwww everytime Mitsuru pulls through and wins the eating contest. BUT he really put me off the food by the way he stuffed himself during the competition. I was full everytime I watched the dorama!

The only surprise was the crow. Being the typical baka that I am, I didn't realise that it was Takuya Kimura who voiced it til ages later after I've finished watching the whole dorama. He's good as the annoying but lovable crow.

Great show, although a bit nonsensical..haha, more like manga or anime than a drama... loved Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's character and of course, the lovely kyoko fukada!!! Innovative show with alot of funny and touching moments.... loved the theme song "lion heart" by Smap as well....

In food fight the whole drama was based around this eating contest and this orphanage. every episode a the contest takes place with differnt people in the contest agianst him. The owner is going out of his way to make Mitsuru loose but his love for the children his what keeps him going basicly every episode is the same but the ending was something that i didnt expect. this is a very good drama to watch and I think that it is funny that they got some one like takuya kimura to play a crow. All and all this was a very good drama. This drama is a must see.

It's a alright show. Certain episodes are really touching. One main reason I enjoyed the show is the food.
But it's a rather predictable show.

The "Food Fight" was an interesting topic for the show to revolve around. The occidental janitor lovers, challengers, and main characters made for a wonderful blend of sincerity and humor all done in very good natured taste. Watch this with your friends, family, or by yourself as it can be viewed in many different flavors.

This jdrama was very unique to me because to me it was a new concept, and the food that they used in the contests looked yummy. As for the drama quality itself I felt that when doing a drama about a food contests that this drama was put together pretty well with a central storyline which was pursued through the 11 episodes. The drama may become stagnant sometimes because of the similar structures of each episode, but it was still fun to watch regardless.

I am a huge fan of food and Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, so I asummed this dorama would be perfect for me. The first few episodes weren't too bad but as I continued to watch on I felt myself becoming bored with the next new episode. All the episodes are the same with Kusanagi having a food challenge at the end of the episode and helping a kid out of a jam. Some of the stories are also pretty unrealistic. Very disappointed in this dorama!

A fresh storyline miles away from dramas that try painstakingly to portray students' troubles/ problems or map out a beautiful love story, this is one dorama that stands different with a new script and a fresh combination of actors. Deprived of childhood happiness and family love, Kusangai feasts on food to satisfy his insatiable appetite, while every competition symbolizes, also, a triumph not just on the battlefield of food but of love, kinship, morals and values. I admit it- I became a fan of Kusanagi right after the first three episodes- albeit not sublime acting, there's an unspeakable charisma that the skinny smap member exudes which is alluring. Though every episode can stand on its own, the linking factors; Kyoko as the love interest, Kimura as the adorably annoying crow, and the story behind the masterminds of the contest; all serve to unravel a semi-mystery about Kusanagi's past and post expectations for his future. Comments about its lack of realism are not unfounded but who cares?? There is a winning formula of novelty, wit, humour, tears, feelings, friendship, love and food in this show. It may sound terrible but there is a gout of sadistic pleasure to be derived from watching a skinny person devour all that food and then still claim, deadpan, that his stomach is as huge as the entire universe. A cannot-miss, even for those who insist that they are only addicted to sops like Love generation, beautiful life, etc!

y is there a crow in this drama?

cherytwinkle · 23 Oct 2001

i just can't love it more. although it has unrealistic bits and boring ways to end the competition (always win by one point), and stupid explanations even sometimes, the portrayal of characters and the depth of the show to read into the thoughts of the children, the competitors, Mitsuru, etc. are simply great! tsuyoshi and kyoko look really good together too! i love tsuyoshi's expressions, and i'm not bored watching the drama over and over and over.

Its ok at the begining, but the story is abit to unrealistic ... and after, the way he wins contestants start to be kinda similar to each other ... but its still a drama that is good to watch ...

I want to give it a 9.5
but it only got 9. so......
i will suggest that u must watch this one even though u got business to do. i love the storyline and the ending of it.
It's really touching and it makes me cry too. However, i dun really get the love relationship between the male and female main characters, becoz it's kind of ambiguous. Dun understand why Ihara Mitsuru can hear the voice of Fukada Kyoko, who is way out there.
