cori wrote:Watched episode 4 of Star no Koi. It's an ok drama, but it just isn't pulling me in at all. Maybe it's because I'm not too fond of Norika's character or SMAP dude either. I'll still keep on watching to see if it gets better. And to see if I warm up to them.

For me it's in the top 10 favorite dramas I've watched. I think Norika's interpretation of the glamorous movie star is just incredible not to mention that I have never seen her look so gorgeous. SMAP dude also plays the hapless salary man to perfection.
:woot:

Nah, I don't want you to kill your burner. :hehe: I'll add it to my wish list and see if something pops up.

You sent this one to me, and I'm still waiting to watch it. :doh: One more drama to go before I start Churasan!

Speaking of Oyaji and Norika, she stars in a new 'Oyaji' type drama this season called 'Oishii Gohan', w/ terminal illness to boot... :sweat:

Since I got some dramas from Eve, I decided to check Sono Ki ni Naru Made and I'm so glad to be able to watch this drama again. It stars 2 of my favorite actors (Sano Shiro and Akashiya Sanma) and I love that Shiro's playing a creepy sukebe-like type. :inlove:

Maybe it's just me, but she didn't look really gorgeous in that role. I do like her sweet, nonchalant attitude though. Quite refreshing to see a famous celebrity portrayed that way because normally they seem so self-centered and rude.

As for SMAP dude, if it weren't for my watching Koi ni Ochitara, in which he played virtually the same type of role, I might've cut him some slack.

I always enjoy watching Sanma's work. You give a good comic something worth doing, and they usually hit it out of the park.

He was amazing in "One Million Stars Fell from the sky". Eri Fukatsu and Kimura in the cast, and Sanma's tired cop was by far the most memorable character in that show for me.

That was a good dorama, in an unconventional sense...Sanma was amazing in that he must have smoked 13 packs of cigs a day on that show.

No wonder they call him Black Lung. J/k

Geez: I agree. Sanma just steals the spotlight from everyone in every single drama I've seen him in. He's just so watch-worthy, he makes everyone take a step back, despite their star power. With Sono Ki ni Naru made, he has some competition because a lot of the characters have their own oddities that make it interesting. Man, I'm so tempted to watch it instead of snoozy Star no Koi. Must...have...willpower... :banghead:

Tu: I thought it was a great drama, myself. Totally took me by surprise because I thought it was going to be one of those samey-type of dramas.

Yeah it had an element of darkness not normally associated with Kimura Takuya's characters....Sanma, Eri Fukatsu, Kou Shibasaki, and Kimura made for a great cast.

It was fairly suspenseful unlike some dramas that are entirely predictable after having seen a few dozen or so.

Nice to see something with a bit of grit instead of the lameness that prevails these days....

Currently watching Galileo ep 1 and Yukan Club ep 2...
very interesting story...i mean galileo.. :mrgreen:

That's why I prefer dark dramas--you never know what direction it'll take and there's usually a twist somewhere.

As for Kimura dramas, what about Nemureru Mori? That was another dark character he played.

On topic: I'm recording Aibou 3, episode 6 and damn! Harada Ryuji, another one of my Jdrama men, is in this episode! Now I have to rewatch this later. :inlove:

Quite right..that's the only drama that I have seen of his that compares to "Million stars." I liked that one as well.

ON ep 3 of Long Love Letter.
Absorbing.
The only good thing about being sick is that I have time to lay down and watch some drama.
