This drama can have that effect!

I'm going to start Good Luck today!

:victory:

I haven't watched a Japanese drama in awhile so I started a new one today. I'm currently watching Ima, Ai ni Yukimasue. I'm only on Ep. 4 but I'm really starting to love this drama. It's so sweet and touching, but also a lil sad at the same time. And Hiroki Narimaya is starring in it so that's a definite plus. :hehe:

My Review: 8/10

After having seen the first season, I was a little disappointed with some of the episodes in this drama.

The first episode was fine, if a bit heavy. It was interesting to see Ishihara Satomi in a serious, angst-ridden role. I thought she pulled it off nicely, although her innocent face belied the harshness of her character. The second and third episodes were not as good. I found them rushed and filled with too much plot. The actresses werenft the problem; it was moreso the actual storyline and female characters for both episodes. In this second season I noticed that there was more of an element of surprise, where the stories would twist to reveal new and interesting information. In the second and third episodes, this surprise was lost in all the events the writer was trying to pack in. Both episodes quickly lost their appeal, not helped by the annoying, selfish female characters.

The one saving grace for this season was the last episode. It reminded me vaguely of a more dark, serious version of the drama Seikei Bijin. This was my first time seeing Karina and I was thoroughly impressed. The moral behind the story was solid and appropriate, and the talent was perfect. The plot played itself out beautifully and I truly felt for the female character. This episode alone excuses the disaster that was episode two and three.

Although I wasnft impressed with this season as much as I was with the first, it did have two episodes worth watching again.



I didn't know you had watched any except Juri-chan's episode!

On Topic: Obvious, finished Tsubasa. I'm gonna need a comedy now to keep myself sane. Waterboys is next...

since you're a Satomi fan, I suggest you go for Waterboys 2...but watch the movie first. after you've watched the movie it doesn't matter if you watch waterboys 2 first. :mrgreen:

I've watched four straight episodes of Orange Days, going on five: like the idiot I am I stayed home today in anticipation of receiving Nodame from DHL...

So far nothing.

DHL has now joined FedEx on my official Delivery Shit List.

Bastards. :grumble: :grumble:

I feel your pain *nod nod* what's worse is when they come when you're out or in the shower and they leave one of those freaking re-deliver/ collect cards *twitches*

I really wanted to watch NC again the other day... but it was like 11:30pm and I had work the next day so I thought I better not... if I'd put it on I probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep :sweat:

On Topic: Next will be Episode 7 of Karei-Naru Ichizoku.... Daisuke and Aiko really nark me off *grimaces*
I wanna know when the bomb's gonna drop (metaphorical bomb) I've been waiting since the end of episode 1 for Teppei to find out :doh:

Better than I thought it would be so far...

Seems like the lead Tsumabuki Satoshi and Shibasaki Kou are playing near-identical roles to those from Joze to Tora to Sakana Tachi...

I enjoyed this one with the help of Konishi Manami's sign language. :mrgreen:

Kou is the handicapped person.

Satoshi is the guy who falls for her.

Manami is the jilted girlfriend.


I chuckled when I saw Juri-chan and her pigtails... This drama is right around the time she hit it big with Swing Girls... :victory: :inlove:

LOL.

Like many of the subs I've seen in the past, they're overdone: too much info on the screen: I'm not gonna stop the DVD player just to read the side notes at the top of the screen... It's an unnecessary distraction... LESS IS MORE, PEOPLE. :sweat:

Yea, but their actual roles are different. I don't find any similarities with the actual character traits.

On Topic: Gonna start Waterboys movie :sweat:

Except we don't get a full frontal of Shibasaki... :twisted:

I said near-identical.

If you're definition of "near" is "not even close", then I agree. :beaten:

On Topic: Just finished the Waterboys movie. Excellent view from the back, HUGE disappointment from front. :shakehead:

I can't see why you don't see the parallels in the basic story that I pointed out... :headscratch:





I give up.

*shoots self in head*
