The 80's was a great music decade. :victory:

They've been showing this on KXLA (unsubbed). Up thru episode 9 now. This could be the worst drama Yuki Amami has ever been in. And if you've seen Rikon Bengoshi 2 or Topcaster, you know that's quite an accomplishment.

Honestly, the only character even remotely believable/interesting is Terajima Susumu as Yuki's ex. If I had downloaded this, I would be hitting the FF button until I got to his scenes and skipping the rest. It's pretty bad. :shakehead:

I've watched up to episode 9 of Gold so far but haven't watched Rikon Bengoshi 2. Unfotunately you're right.

Up thru episode 10, Sorimachi had quite a bit of work in this episode and I was watching him thinking, "I remember when he used to be good." Kind of like watching a pitcher that used to throw hard stuff and just hasn't got as much zip on the old fastball as before. But this drama is so bad I'm not sure if it's him or the script.

And it's not good when:

Spoiler — click to reveal

Yuki is giving her son CPR and I'm hoping he doesn't make it.

^ oh no :sweat:
I had asked in the recommendation thread about this drama - and was told to give it a miss. Glad I did! But I must say the sysnopsis sounded interesting.

spot on.....its an amazing accomplishment to make it worse than Top Caster :sweat:

I really really want to watch this one streaming online because I am a fan of Takei Emi. Anyone know of a good site to watch this please? I don't like the current Viki player because you have to click 5-6 different parts just to view one episode. It's tiresome.

I just want to watch it on autoplay or continuous play something like Youtube or Hulu or DailyMotion players. Help please :mrgreen:

Best option would be to get it at DA, couple sites that I watch dramas online are the same way as far as cutting it up into 3 or 4 parts, think every site is like that. :grumble:

The nice thing about Youtube Hulu Veoh and DailyMotion is they allow you to create playlists and then it will autoplay every video in the list, the entire thing for up to 100 videos. Same as watching it on DVD.

It's just that some dramas are not available but I will start requesting some users to upload them. I did before and it worked so I'll try that again ;)
