Woah, didn't know the drama spawned so many sequels. We'll see--the original season should do the... trick. :hehe:

It's worth the effort, IMO... No degradation in storyline or quality (like my favorite whipping boy, Gokusen)...

And the Abe Hiroshi-Nakama Yukie pairing is gold.... Gold! :mrgreen:

:rofl: Hahaha! I always thought that "Beemer's Favorite Whipping Boy" award was a tossup between THA GOKUSENS... and anything YamaPi ever starred in. But, er, thanks for setting the record straight. :naughty:

Really, huh. ;) He seems a tad too old for her, but whaddahell, I love Abe Hiroshi, so I might as well. :dancing: Apart from G2, I'd only seen Nakama Yukie in that tiresome, torporific SHINOBI movie :bleh:, so I'm suspending judgment till after I've seen TRICK. :victory:

Abe Hiroshi pairs up well with anyone, really... Even with that eight year-old kid in Shiroi Haru. :victory:

Just watched episodes 1 & 2 of Shiroi Haru....wow, after seeing Trick, quite a character change...

I gotta keep watching! :shamefulcry:

Ruri no shima, ep. 7.

Told ya. :victory:

Just spent the day watching Shiroi Haru, episodes 3-7...now I must wait, those are the only ones subbed.

This is a great drama....I love the characters, you really get into the whole story of their lives and wonder what will happen!!

Recommended by runpup, watched the first two episodes of Osen: http://jdorama.com/drama.1276.htm. Nice change for Aoi Yuu.

Hanayome to papa slowly working my way through ep2.

It's not my usual type of jdrama. In fact I'm only continuing because I enjoy watching Ishihara Satomi. The plot is a little farfetched and difficult to get into.

Spoiler — click to reveal

why would a girl with as much spunk as Aiko chan continue to stick with an unrealistic overbearing father? That makes the plot uneddible for me.

Well, let's see if I can make it through all the epis. :banghead:

That drove me mad! I had to quit after episode 2.

Guess you can start on Osen now. :victory:

No worries, I saw the next 2 episodes should be available soon.

Episode 6 of Orthros no Inu oooooh it was good, where did that cool music come from??? Also this ep made me cry a little bit :o it's come a long way, I love it =D

Cool.

It'd be a tragedy if you couldn't finish that drama after watching the first seven episodes... :sweat:

Once again I'm in the minority for the Trick seasons; The chemistry everyone raves about between Hiroshi and Nakama Yukie flew way over my head. I was only able to watch the one season shown on ch18 and suffered ADD in trying to keep my interest up for the duration of the drama.
Hiroshi is certainly one of my favs... IMO he should stick to Kekkon Dekinai Otoko and Dragon Zakura type roles.... Natsukawa Yui is the perfect co-star as well as Hasegawa Kyoko.... (and Kuninaka Ryoko :mrgreen: ).

Poor Nakama Yukie after having reached the heights in Haru e Natsu only to be driven into the ground with Gokusen... and saddled with endless repeats of Trick :shamefulcry:
I still think she is one of the greats and hope she will get another stellar role as in Haru e Natsu. I love her too as MC in the Red/White contest. :sweat:
OK. Before you all jump on me, I have not seen many of her dramas and my only criticism relates to Gokusen and Trick. :grumble:

^ I just hope the Gokusen series didn't ruin her career: she Joshi Deka! between seasons and it was just plain awful as well... Though it was more the script/story than her... I hope. :sweat:

Koishite Akuma episode 9 :o not long left now it seems!

I also got to watch ep 5 of my fave 'Take Care of the Young Lady' (Kdrama) I LOVE viikii... the ep was only aired in Korea last night... it's already been up subbed on viikii for hours :ooooo

Sadly, Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta! wasn't that great either, although it wasn't Yukie's fault. It wasn't bad, but could have been better.

OT: Ruri no shima, ep 8 & 9 (last night). The episodes have just flown by! Only 1 (and the Special) to go...

Watched the first two episodes of First Kiss last night. Inoue Mao was very good in this.
