I just watched episode 1 of Orthros no Inu... I'm gonna admit when I saw that Tackey was in it I nearly didn't watch it (I don't mind Tackey in tv shows and singing with Tsubasa but I generally don't like him in drama), I'm not a huge fan of Ryo either so I was just like... meh!
But I really liked the sound of the story so I just put it on and ZOMG I loved it, well ep 1 was freaking brilliant anyway! And... I dunno if it's just me but... I actually thought he did pretty well :o I never thought he'd pull off a convincing bad guy, but I was proven wrong.
So can't wait for episode 2 ^0^ hope this shows continues as it started =D

I second that too. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
I was not expecting too much of it myself too but it was way below my low expectation.
can't get over its poor poor poor acting in ep 1 :bonk:
Well I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing but when I am watching something I tend not to notice anything but the actual story. So because I (Personally!) really enjoyed the storyline my Brain probably compensated for any bad acting... saying that... I love overacting XDDD melodrama for the win :P
Today I watched episode 3 of Koishite Akuma :: snickers :: it's terrible but I love it for it XD
Buzzer Beat ep 2... still a bit meh about it :S really don't like Aibu Saki's character in it... it's not been that exciting, but seeing as it's 1 ep at a time I'm sticking with it for a bit.
I watched episodes 1 & 2 of Mr. Brain... finally got around to watching it! I've not seen Gackt act before, he was one of the first Jsingers I got to know but I had never seen him act. He was only in flash backs but he was a really creepy bad guy! I wanna see him in a big part evil role now!
Kame face is in episode 3.... :S should be interesting ^^;
Really really good drama... I don't see how anyone can watch this drama and not get choked up.
Not a whole lotta dialog from Abe Hiroshi and yet his performance was just terrific... He shows that acting is more than just dialog. :applaud: And the little girl who played Sachi (Ohashi Nozomi) pretty much matched Abe performance-wise: you couldn't help but feel and root for her. :)
Spoiler — click to revealSomehow, I just knew it had to end tragically... In some ways, that plotline was stereotypical: the ex-con, pulls himself out of the gutter and makes himself better, only to die tragically... I suppose it was a lose-lose for the director and writers: if he lived, they would've been accused of the "happy ending" syndrome... What could they do?
I was disappointed that they didn't even touch on Shiori and her boyfriend's feelings after Haruo's death... It played out like they didn't give a damn about him at the end, even though it was the contrary throughout the drama.
I'm pretty sure the girl who played Shiori was the same girl who was basically catatonic throughout Love Shuffle... She was much more likable and animated ;), that's for sure.
Overall, I give Shiroi Haru a 9/10... Highly recommended viewing.
And be prepared to get a lump in your throat throughout the entire drama.
