Ryusei no Kizuna (Meteor Ties)

Wow.. High rating.. anyway where do you all get the news so early? 0.0

The drama is nice and i hope the rating will keep up there.. :dancing:

I think the first episode is okay. Let's just wait and see how the story progresses and hope that it will be good til the end. :fingerscrossed:

Mika Nakashima, Orion PV. Featuring Toda Erika and the Ryuusei no Kizuna earrings.

The song is lovely. Toda stare right at the beginning of the clip kinda made my heart skipped a beat. No wonder Ryo seems smitten by her.
I've just suggested the clip in the Jdorama page. Hopefully it'll get a quick approval :hehe:. The song isn't listed in the theme song yet though. Its just "Beautiful Days"...

I've really enjoyed Kudokan's past dramas (IWGP and Tiger and Dragon are two of my favs) so when I heard he was writing this one, I had to give it a shot.

Ironically though when I sat down to watch it all I could remember was the dark sounding synopsis and was thrown off by the really cheery opening (seriously, the opening reminded me of those campy 90's TGIF sitcoms- I half expected to hear the theme song to "Full House" as the cast flitted around the restaurant.) and all the humour coming through- then I remembered the writer and it all made sense.

So far so good, I'm not ridiculously blown away, but I was sufficently entertained and highly amused at some parts. I'm hoping it will only get better.

huwow!!!!!! that's amazing!! :applaud: hopefully the high ratings will be sustained through out the drama.

it was the first time i tried keyhole last friday. i saw that there were around 900 viewers on TBS. hahhahaa. a lot of people were anticipating RnK huh. :mrgreen:

It starts off fine, though storywise, Kaze no Garden is still winning in my book.

I'm glad it's winning the rating though. Let's hope it can be sustained all throughout the series.

Same feeling here! I wasn't fully convinced, but it was good enough to check out episode 2.

tofuuuuu wrote:^ no, we are all bias :twisted:

Its too early to judge anyways..

There's a lot of great dramas you'll miss by trying to evade the rich sea of glorious JE like Tiger & Dragon, Yasashii Jikan, Nobuta wo Produce, 1 Litre of Tears.. Maou (ok.. slightly bias for my adopted drama :sweat:).. but yeah. Sorry, for your lost.

ironically im a JE fan myself.. but too much JE is :bleh:

i'll try to watch ep 1 to see..

I can, but I won't say it's good. The overall story for episode 1 is enjoyable, and the comedy is acceptable. I'd say it's okay. Can't beat Maou's (no, I am not bias, go watch it yourself.) idea and intensity though.

so its a feel good drama? ok.. give it a shot...

anyway since its comedy.. i wouldnt see Ryo-chan glaring all the time

...in other words you are in the "cool" crowd :hehe:

good luck finding the dramas then. try asadora. no JE working in those (except for Ryo-CHAN when he was small..). I haven't watched a lot of dramas but most of the JE populated dramas I've seen are great without even the need to be biased.

....finally got to watch ep 1.
imo....ep 1 was beautifully scripted, giving the audience the heart wrenching backgound of "we will definitely kill him". love this deep drama with the cynical comedic twist thrown in. can't wait for ep 2. :applaud:

the part where young nino, ryo, and erika were crying in the park, regretting sneaking out of the house the day their parents were killed, made me cry :puppydog:
i love ryo's fun and loving character in this drama.
so different from his sousuke character.
i can't wait til friday when episode 2 comes out!!! :woot:

I was watching K8's new PV over and over again last night and I can't help but notice how similar Taisuke is to Kanjani8's Ryo. :hehe:

another reason to say "he's just playing himself" :beaten: (OT: I really like Maru in that PV :mrgreen: )
maybe NEWS's Ryo is like LF's Sousuke :hehe:


RnK tonight! :dancing:

Loved Ep2 more than Ep1!! :dancing:

Yeah I thought it was better too.

Spoiler — click to reveal

I was wondering who the hell that was passed out on the counter in the background? I figured it would be Nakashima Mika.

I just heared this drama and I'm really glad that Ryo is one of the casts :love_eyes:
I'm currently downloading the first episode, I'm so freaking excited to watch it! :jumpie:
