In many Maki ways?

yeah maki's performance was definitely poor but yamapi's performance was worse....so unbelievable that he was a professional con artist... he looked really believeable like a 3 year old schmuck with several hundred thousands dollars at his disposal ready to trick the world.....he would have looked more believable as the old man's gay lover.....

after nobuta wo produce...yamapi's performance was embarassingly bad

Yea, I think the casting director was on crack. I'm a fan of Maki's and yamapi's out of loyalty, since Nobuta wo Produce was my first drama and still one of my fav. But I agree with you, Kurosagi didn't deliver.

I don't think the sequel will redeem anything... :sweat:

Hai, I've seen your rants. That film is on my list of "must-sees". :victory:

As is Tiger & Dragon. Right now I'm in the process of downloading Orange Days and Hana Yori Dango.

Orange Days is one of my favorite doramas of all time.....top 5 probably top 3.....such a realistic, touching performacnce.....same screenwriter, Eriko Kitagawa, as in Long Vacation and Beautiful Life.
