Fan reviews: Yamato Nadeshiko

ester_grace · 24 Nov 2010

Nanako was adorable and ellegance as a yamato nadeshiko. Nice chemistry between her and tsutsumi.

One of my top 2 all time favorites. Amazing cast and chemistry. Over each episode you really care more and more about everyone of the characters and the develop so deeply as well. The music was fantastic and story was so touching and Nanako Matsushima was so beautiful in this drama.

My favorite Japanese love story drama. I love it. Tsutsumi Shin-ichi is so appropriate as a humble but intelligent guy. I love him!

Matsushima Nakano gives the perfect performance in this heart-warming love story as the "perfect woman" aiming high and falling low. The elegant look of this drama works really well.

Funny and touching series. The story is kind of predictable, but great acting by the whole cast. Definetely recommend it.

I was surprised though, that I still don't like Misia after this... It's very rare for me that a dorama ballad doesn't grow on me. I have no idea why there's so many Misia fans around.

I'm not sure why I loved this show so much. The Main character did piss me off at times, but the chemisty and pace was just right for me. Plus yada Akiko is very cute ;). In addition the opening song is very great. It's certainly one of the best romantic comedies i have ever seen.

Matsushima Nanako has perform a great acting on this drama!
I was inspired by her characters and her role in this drama to make me realized how good of acting she is..

Keep up the good work

So-so though some scenes are very funny. For the first time I prefer the lead actor to be with the supporting actress rather than lead as she's so annoyingly materialistic and face-conscious!

Shindou · 12 Oct 2005

Shinichi and Nanako certainly make an awkward pair, haha ^_^ Anyhow, Nanako's performance was hilarious as an airline stewardess and shows off her great acting ability. Shinichi plays a somewhat convincing math genius though I like his performance in Good Luck!! more. All in all, a pretty entertaining jdorama to watch.

Some great supporing roles in this drama, Osuke's friends were great. Lots of manic and funny moments and also the sad ones.

Kitchen · 29 Aug 2005

Im only 3 eps in but im enjoying it, very funny and the characters are all great and well acted, hard to get emotionally attatched to it at the moment though because im still numb from watching majo no jouken last week. good stuff though. EDIT: Great series and really funny like i said with a great supporting cast, i didnt get all teary eyed like i did with majou no jouken (thats a real killer) i wasnt too keen on the ending even though it was good and i did like it, it was played out a bit too quick and not dramatic enough for my liking, excellent acting once again from EVERYBODY who appeared, more like 8.8 that just a plain 8, good stuff but no tear jerker like majo no jouken. Great music too EVERYTHING is an amazing tune and up there with my favourites.

Another great drama by Matsushima Nanako... I'll liked how she played her role in going to gatherings and looking for richer men. It was very long and hard for me to get a hold of this series, but in the end, it was worth it!

Tu_triky · 31 May 2005

not a bad drama but it took me quite a while to get into it...i left it on the shelf for a long time after the first episode and then finally proceeded to finish watching it much, much later. the character of jinno sakurako is the ultimate gold digger....i mean the ultimate....she's plays fools like michael jordan...she punks 'em. i won't give this a 10 as many did...i think that's being too generous....the ending was very conventional as well. fun to watch but i wouldn't call the entire work exceptional...the one thing i did enjoy was the healthy dose of comedy which i found helped carry the show more than the purposeful romance at times.

Takumi_Fujihara · 7 Mar 2005

This is a very interesting movie to watch... I like how they directed this movie by adding a little comedy in it... Great on overall...

miriya52 · 2 Mar 2005

Nanako is just a beautiful actress, undeniably. However, she has to hold up this gold-digger stereotype that seems kinda forced quickly into the story, and then she just has to keep putting it up. Also, doesn't seem like she has much chemistry with the main guy.

chep ammar · 20 Nov 2004

one of the greatest j-drama i ever seen. a great character with a great act. man, i don't know how to tell you how great this drama. my dad also like this drama. its hard to believe it man but that is a fact. this drama teach me that girl love money and i learn much from that.whatever it is this drama is really great!

kawaii_kinki · 16 Nov 2004

i watched this dorama coz my japanese friends recommended it!

i liked it right away, from episode 1! im a girl yet, im Nanako fan! she is great! i cannot imagine anyone else who would play the role of sakurako better than her! i couldnt hate her at all, even when she was treating Osuke badly, coz the show explained why is she being so into money and rich guys! the show shows that behind that facade, there was actually a pure and kind person. Nanako was so cute and classy!
Osuke was so natural and his acting was Superb! i was almost believing that he was not acting and this is his genuine personality!
all other characters played really well! the OST was great and the theme song "Everything" by Misia really suits this drama!
i could go on and on and wont finish describing how Great this drama was!

kikkuman · 3 Oct 2004

overall, i found this to be a very funny and light hearted. matsushima nanako portrayed sakurako beautifully, shallow on outside with hint of caring on inside. I never felt she was completely superfacial but always hiding her feelings. the whole cast was excellent and made me crack up frequently. the show never became too heavy, always lightening up the mood with comic relief.

only complaint is the ending, i felt really bad for yada akiko, maybe she'll marry the rich guy and find happiness ^^

kaonashi · 10 Jun 2004

Great dorama! One of my top 3 favourites! Stylish fast paced and funny with good plots and great cast. Stylish
The only minor complaint is the ending which I found predictable but a bit disappointing. Up until the very end I was hoping that he'd choose Akiko Yada instead.

niko2x · 3 Jun 2004

It was pretty good up until the end, which was kind of mediocre, and just decent. I'd give it a 6.5, but there are no haves in this scale.
