You think Pride was great?

on topic: Shiroi Kyoto season 2 episode 9

this is the best long-plotted twisted dorama i've ever seen

Pride is one of the best love stories I have ever seen. I mean, I wasn't a fan of the ending, but the way they played out the growing love was so awesome! And the chemistry between ALL the characters was perfect. Have you seen it? If not, WATCH IT!!!

I'm on epi 5 now of Beautiful Life. :thumbsup:

Eve,

Sounds exciting, Geez. Now Im excited to watch it.

If you hadn't been the one I got the show from in the first place, I would have been tauting it to you by the time I was half way through. I really think you'll like it.

Some quick notes on "The Time ofYour Life". Katsunori Takahashi (Salarayman Kintaro) is listed in the data base as a cast member. In fact, he just made a cameo apprearance as a guest musical artist. He did one song and was never seen again.

Two guys I want to mention for their strong performances were Furuya Ikko (the Father in "Dinner on Thursday" he again played the father in this one) and Ikkei Watanabe. Watanabe usually plays weasles, and it looks at the beginning of this series that he's up to his old tricks. But the writer asked for a whole lot more from him, and boy did he deliver. Two fine performances by two big time professional actors.

Watching Toshiie To MAtsu for the 2nd time around. Love it even more. My BF is completely hooked on his first time. We have to watch at least 3 eps a day. On ep 9 now!

Boy I did enjoy Toshiie To Matsu. I gathered up at least a dozen new favorite actors and actresses watching that one. Unfortunately (for me) it's still too soon for me to want to see any of it again. I watched it faithfully one episode a week for a full year... and that sort of takes it out of you.

It'll be interesting for you watching Matsushima in "The Time of your Life" now that you're rewatching "Toshiie to Matsu". She was a bit older, a bit more experienced, and a lot better as Matsu. A lot better. I don't like to rip young actors or actresses, but she was pretty much an empty space in "Time of Your Life."

Well I finished My Boss, My Hero the other day :jumpie: finally!!! Loved it!!! One of my faves (I like a good light hearted comedy)
Started Mukodono today!!!
I have lots of stuff to get through now!
I have Mukodono, 1 Litre of Tears, Brother Beat, Majo no Jouken ready and waiting to be watched.
I have To Heart, Kuitan, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, Magicians of Love (T-drama), Frog turns to Prince (T-drama) still on the way, OMG I have n life!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bleh: :metaldevil:

I'm watching Taiyou no Uta at the moment (episode 7)
<3

actually i have :mrgreen: . and i did like it. but it's just that sometimes i get the feeling that instead of hockey it felt like an undercover fangirl cultish kimutaku worshiper club. And the flying nude Takeuchi Yuko was way over. but i got hooked by Sakaguchi's character :hehe:

Just finished Shiroi Kyoto

Now i know why this dorama won best dorama '04! you have got to watch this everyone.

How great does a plot have to suddenly turn a medical dorama into a

Spoiler — click to reveal

a lawyer dorama, in the 2nd season

without being unexpected. (can be considered as or not as a spoiler, feel free to read)

Beautiful Life episode 1
the bomb hair was unbareable, glad it got rid off in the 1st episode.

I just finished Lunch Queen which had a bit of an anticlimatic ending, which left me kind of unimpressed, and moving on to Kimi wa petto, because of the lovely Matsumoto Jun. But I found the first episode somewhat boring and predictable and I don't know if i'll continue watching... maybe is just a post-kim sam soon melancholy... I liked that series so much that nothing can compare right now... :/

finished Nodame.
I liked it. It was funny, entertaining, and towards the end it was a good change of pace.

I think a 9.5/10 is what I'll give it :mrgreen:

Just started Golden Bowl....funny stuff.

It's always funny to see Takeshi Kaneshiro because my roommates in college know him because they went to high school with him.

Wow, that's really cool. I didn't know he could speak Japanese until I saw "Kamisama, Mou Sukoshi Dake" (hated this one, by the way. Especially the main actress, dunno her name. :bleh:).

yeah he's half Japanese, half Taiwanese, these kids i knew went to high school with him in Taipei, Taiwan. He speaks English, Taiwanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese.

yeah kamisama...another kyoko fukada disaster...two thumbs down...to the ground.

I just finished Umizaru Evolution. A show chronicling the lives, loves, and death defying adventures of a team of Japanese Coast Guard rescue divers.


Hmmm. So what to say about this show? Itfs rough, because Ifm not a chick. And Ifm not gay. And Ifm not 8. Soc Oh yeah, I know:

Hilarious!

There was no hoary old cliche this show would not embrace.

No melodramatic depth to which this show would not sink.

Watching this showfs attempts to manipulate its audiencefs emotions was like watching a particularly stupid five year old trying to manipulate itfs parents.

Sad, for the most part. But as long as youfre not the idiot childfs parentc sort of funny.

Hilarious, in fact.

Warning:

Do not watch this show alone.

Do not watch this show sober.

But if you and your friends are looking around for a show to watch while having an all night drunken snark festc this might just be the show for you.

LOL. Strike another drama from my viewing list. :hehe:

BMW

As long as you don't piss me off, you'll never find this one in your mailbox.

:rolly: Yea... it took me three days to watch. But last night I watched like four straight because I got hooked. I dunno... :doh: I think I'm wired. But I only have the weekend left before work starts up, so I wanna squeeze one more in.

That reminds me, I have to write my review for Beautiful Life. So grand.

one of my three favorite dramas of ALL time....beautiful life, long vacation and orange days...all written by the same screenwriter eriko kitagawa....

i really thought kimura takuya's performance as shuji was incredible...he made that character so REAL and believable and his pairing with tokiwa takako was spot on perfect chemistry.
