Proposal Daisakusen Eps 5..

I think I'm gonna take a break from watch Dramas and watch the Anime Paradise Kiss. (thanks Eve! :muack:)

Just done watching Gift. Interesting story, but it does nothing to disprove my impression that Kimutaku has a very limited set of facial expressions.

I just finished hHaikei, Chichiue-samah.

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Haikei%2C_Chichiue-sama

Truth to tell, itfs gonna take some digesting time for me to know how much I liked this series.

It was written by Sou Kuramoto, who wrote one of my all time favorites, hYasashii Jikanh. And itfs written in the same dulcet, almost lyrical style. (That means that if youfve ever said you kinda liked a show, but whined that it was hToooo Slllooowwwwh you probably wonft like either of these.)

I preferred hYasashii Jikanh. Itfs probably unfair to compare the two, but I canft help it, considering the fact that theyfre both written by the same guy, and feature many of the same actors.

This show was made for me by the side characters. Yachigusa Kaoru as the Old Lady Boss. Takashima Reiko as Yukino, Ippeifs mom. And Fukuda Saki as Eri.

Unfortunately the weakest characters in the show were Ninomiya Kazunari as Ippei. And Kuroki Meisa as Naomi. "Unfortunate' because Ippei is the central character in the show. And all the other diverse characters orbit around him.

For the show to really work, the gIppeif character really has to work. Hefs the touch stone for everything else you see. But I didnft think Ninomiya was up to the task. Basically, I thought he played Ippei as a dork. (Think a young Jerry Lewis playing Forrest Gump.)

And the actress playing his first love Naomi (Kuroko Meisa) offered nothing but a pretty face. The part might as well have been played by a department store mannequin.

And itfs hard to be interested in, and to care about what happens to a dork and a mannequin.

That saidc the surrounding characters, their lives, their stories, were mesmerizing. And as with all good shows, Ifll be thinking about, and changing my mind about this show, over and over again, for a long time to come.

Good Luck (third time lucky :beaten: what can I say... I like the show a LOT) I ordered a shed load of doramas the other day so this coming bank holiday weekend I am going to be a busy girl .... *has no social life*

Having recently watched this dorama, I have to agree with practically everything you say. To be somewhat fair to Ninomiya though (I can't believe I'm sticking up for a pop idol), while he is nowhere close to being a quality actor, his character in this series is a weak person, easily manipulated, often bemused, and not very smart. You're right--the supporting characters bring this show to life, which is not surprising given that most of those characters are portrayed by veteran character actors/actresses. In both this series and Yasashii Jikan, Kuramoto populates his scripts with middle-aged and older characters and portrays them as genuinely real people, not ridiculed cardboard cutouts like in so much of the youth-oriented dorama being produced.

You put your finger on it. He really has a hard time expressing emotions with his face and often uses these little facial mannerisms that get irritating after awhile. I thought he was okay in Engine. Maybe he's improving with age. I think Tsumabuki Satoshi has the same problem.

just finished Himitsu no Hanazono.....
now watching Kirakira kenshui

Engine... aired by my local tv station..
