So am I... So are a lot of us here... And it's that much more disappointing when the drama doesn't live up to the high standards that she's set... :sweat:

Her performance is probably near a 9/10 or so, but the entire drama lost focus... I mean it's not over yet and they're still playing around the with episode count (WTF??? :shakehead: ), but it's just gotten tedious. :sweat:

Well then you should average the two... 7.5/10. :beaten:

good idea.. but there isn't 0.5 score in jdorama, right? :beaten:

anyway, i do enjoy watching this drama, for juri and for the different issues discussed in the show. however the lack of reality (in dealing with certain issues) is kinda disturbing to me.
personally, LF is definitely one of the best in this season, if not the first half of 2008. there wasn't a moment i felt bored while watching... and usually i was spellbound by the cliffhanger at the end of each episode..

Unfortunately not... The last episode (10, 11, 12??) will determine whther you want to round up or down... ;)

and usually i was spellbound by the cliffhanger at the end of each episode..

I hate that plot strategy: it's to suck in viewers/ratings.

If the drama isn't good enough to sustain itself based on the main story and/or characters and has to resort to cliffhanger tactics, what does that say about the drama as a whole? :sweat:

Depending on the last couple episodes, I'm giving it an 8 or a 9.

I don't know about you guys but I'm getting tired of hearing "Prisoner of Love" :bleh: . On the other hand I still cane the hell out of "Automatic".

true.. you have your point here.

but i think this drama sustain itself with juri-chan.. lol.. from what i read so far in this thread.. many are die-hard supporters of juri...

I'm sorry, but, where can I load the films ?? :sweat:

With that mentality, please tell us what you think about "Joudan Janai!" I'm sure both myself and BMW would LOVE to see what you think about that one. :beaten:

I'd give the series 7/10.. And definitely not a re-watcher as of now..

If the series has some superlative ending, I might consider giving 8/10..

This is the only drama that I have seen so far that has left me frustrated (esp. ep 9).. Maybe a 0.25 for that.. So 7.25/10 ;)

Yeah, I'm flip-flopping between 7 and 8... If Juri-chan comes back and beats Sosuke to a bloody pulp with a Louisville Slugger, I'll give the drama an 8. :mrgreen:

Hehe.. I'd also consider giving the drama a rating of 8 if it takes such a nice turn :)

Beat him to death with his own crutch? I'd give it a 7.

Beat him to death with the crutch AND THEN set him on fire? Maybe an 8, depending on the screams.

:victory:

Beat him to near death with the crutch, set him on fire, let him burn and feel the pain for a while and then rinse. Repeat the process, but have Ruka run him over with her motorcycle while Takeru stabs him with his haircutting tools after rinsing and then I'd think about giving this show a 6 :beaten:

LOL, no mercy for Sosuke...!

Die a thousand deaths, scumball... And one more for good measure...!!

OMG!!! The way you guys describe the death of Sousuke sounded soo scary... lol.. but I wished if there's some gang fight, michiru, ruka, eri and takeru all gang up and beat up sousuke..

That'll work, too... Mob violence to offset domestic violence sounds appropo. :mrgreen:

I think maybe just a big brawl where everyone beats the crap out of each other.. then they hug. :smack: :glomp: :victory:

That's the post-production party. :mrgreen:

Haha.. I thought that was where they set loose Sosouke and Ruka on the writing team.
