Taiyou no Uta is simple. I like the male lead. I noticed that he acted in Tiger and Dragon

Sorry, nobody who was in Taiyou no Uta was in Tiger and Dragon...least of all the male lead...

I have to catch up with Hotelier. They are releasing the subbed versions faster than I can watch them :beaten:

My Boss My Hero episode 3...

Densha Otoko marathon soon...

On Topic: Gonna start Waterboys today. I dunno if I can handle all the little boys in speedos... :sweat:

you haven't seen the movie have you? coz if you haven't, good for you...

Love Complex episode 6

Im gonna start another series which is Kikenna Aneki starring Itoh Misaki once again. :victory:

Good Luck epi 6. Excelent. Kimura and Shibasaki don't have the super chemistry that he had with Takeuchi in Pride. But it's the third best for him after Pride and Love Gen.
It's always a pleasure to watch Kimura with his trademark timing of facial expressions that so enhance the watching experience.

It was OK... I'd give it an 7/10, I suppose.

Even though I watched all 11 episodes in two days (shades of Wyn-chan), it seemed to lack something... I didn't really feel anything for any of the characters...

There were several emotional moments, but still... :sweat:

I usually give dramas that I feel similar to your review a 7 as well, so that's just. Jeez, finished it in two days? You make me proud. :hehe:

I think the best part of the drama was the end, when

she sees Kai off and speaks. The look in his eyes was brilliant

. It's one of the best romantic endings I've seen.

It's amazing how one can sit through a drama just because one's fav is in it. I have the feeling that Satomi-chan will be the only reason I'll sit through Waterboys 2.

I have... and I like it more than the first season so far.

I finished epi 3 of WaterBoys, and I now know why Eita always has big hair. It's to dwarf is abnormally big ears. He puts Will Smith to shame. :shakehead:

Maybe the aura Joze was still in my head, 'cause I kept drawing parallels to that movie, even though the drama was a bit lighter in tone: the beach scene, the ex-gf, Kai speaking in the background... Just felt like deja vu.

I somehow expected that to happen, though not at the end... It was a nice closing statement.

That's partly true... I sorta wanted to check it out before I gave it to my niece to watch... That doesn't mean I'm going to sit through Engine. :P

LOL! I think you should... just cause Juri-chan was so fab in it. You could always just forward to the scenes she's in... although I never forward myself. That's breaking code. :P

If you're talking about the big emotional scene from Episode 8(?), runpup already posted a clip of it for me to watch... Meh.

I can live without watching Engine.

LOL! erm, no, but she has A LOT of screen time. I mean, one of the first few epis is dedicated to just her story alone.

Hmm, maybe I'll sift through the episodes for that, then.

Like a Julia Roberts movie, I can't sit through a Kimutaku drama.

If I were Kimura and read that, I'd be calling Larry H. Parker! [/list:u] (For those of you that don't live in So.Cal. he's a lawyer that always running CM's on TV out here) [/list:u]

LOL.

Kimutaku (in Japanese): "Larry H. Parker got me 2.1 Million Dollars!" :hehe:

Just to stick my two cents in...

I've been pretty disappointed in Kimura's stuff since "Good Luck!!. (I thought he started phoning it in with that one, and he hasn't stopped since.)

But he's stared in way too many of my favorite series to ever dis him.

Long Vacation.

Love Generation

Hero

Beautiful Life

Chuushingura 1 of 47

One Million Stars fell from the sky

Nemureru Mori

Oda Nobunaga

Asunaro Harusho

The guy has done too much quality work to be dismissed as a pop star turned TV star.

He doesn't over act. He doesn't turn in a comic book performance like so many other Japanese actors who mugg for the camera trying to amuse the little children out in the audience. He actually tries to turn in a subtle, thoughtful performance. And I really appreciate that.

Nope, I didn't like "Good Luck!!" or "Pride". And I haven't seen "Engine" yet. But hey, Mickey Mantle didn't bat a thousand.

By the way. He's gonna star in the final movie of the Samurai trilogy that started off with "Twilight Samurai" and "Hidden Blade". My bet is, that'll get him out of his sleep walking phase.
