Sugoi... she hasn't changed that much at all... :bow:

After two weeks, I'm FINALLY continuing Attack no. 1. I think I'm on epi 8... but I'm not sure. They're all the same. This drama gets first spot (pushing Boku blah blah Madonna) as taking me the longest to finish. I think I'm running a month here...

I know exactly how you feel right now. :pout: Of course, watching a really BAD drama doesn't get my mojo running to FIND the time, either. :sweat:

It's hard going from watching one drama in two days to watching one drama over the span of a month.

O, and I checked the epi's. I'm on epi 9 of Attack no. 1.

FINAL episode for Attack no. 1. I can see the light!
31 Jul 2007, 09:25 #13126
I finally finished Attack no 1. I couldn't find a thread for it, so I'll post my review here:

6/10

Attack no. 1 is almost exactly like Ace wo Nerae. The storyline is exactly the same, there are similar plot points, and both dramas share some of the actresses. Itfs like watching Ace wo Nerae all over again except with a different sport. Because of this, I found it really hard to enjoy this drama. It was painful to watch because it was so predictable and completely forgettable.

Ifm beginning to re-evaluate my opinion of Ueto Aya. I mean, I like her and I think shefs adorable, but shefs been coming in a lot of bad dramas lately and I feel she needs to take some sort of responsibility, instead of her fans squealing about how itfs the drama, not her, thatfs making the bad impression. After all, a really good actor/actress can make a really bad drama at least bearable to some degree. She failed to do so here. I found her character really annoying and frustrating to watch. I mean, Ueto has got to be the least athletic-looking actress out there, and yet this is her SECOND sport-related drama that Ifve seen. She was a little more believable as a tennis player, but a volleyball player is totally out of her league. Donft get me wrong. Shefs done great work in Attention Please and has already proven herself as a good actress. She just really needs to pick her roles carefully.

The coach of the Fujimi team also really annoyed me. His character goes through a roller-coaster without any depth or reasoning. He was too random and really ruined the gcoachh persona. Sakai Ayana was good, as was most of the supporting cast (in terms of Volleyball players), but I still found the drama hard to enjoy. It wasnft so much that it was utterly, devastatingly horrible. It was more that there was nothing exciting about it and turned out to be a manufactured plot with no soul. Unless youfre an Aya-fan and just enjoying watching her move about the screen, I donft recommend this drama at all.

Which makes you the hardsubber de tutti hardsubber.

I'm into mottos tonight:

Less is more... and ... right is better than fast.

As to what I'm watching tonight...

I was really excited this morning when I got up and realized I was gonna be able to watch the last, the final episode of Jodan Janai!.

It'll be over! I thought. No more having to watch good people wallow around in this driveling bit of hackery.

But Coach Walsh died today. So I guess I'll either watch the '81 NFC Championship game, or the '84 Superbowl.

Jodan Janai can wait.

I did get a laugh a while ago, while watching "Triple Kitchen". There's Yoko, once again playing a character that's all about the preservation of the traditional Japanese way of life... and it turns out her conversational English is better than mine.


For me the highlight of watching that otherwise forgettable dorama was Yoko Nogiwa's interview scene with the school selection committee. Her fluency in English as far as pronunciation, articulation, and understanding was obvious.

attention please was pretty fun....and her one episode in Tsubasa was cool....but yeah ppl have mixed reviews of her work in ace and attack, which i haven't seen...and most ppl say shimokita sundays was not good at all.

i dunno ppl seem to have a lukewarm response to Hotelier as well.

Like Toshi-kun said, I thought Attention Please was good, as was her epi in Tsubasa. Both of these are reasons why I won't bash her as an actress.

She was funny in Attention Please. She was at least well cast there and had the talent to pull off that role.
