Dear Yuki,

You're welcome - glad you enjoyed "Saimin". By the way, did you catch the movie that precedes the drama?

Regards,
Jon

Hi Jon

No, I didn't watch that movie. Is it good? Horror or suspense?

Dear Yuki,

It's a horror movie. Generally, it's quite scary and certainly confusing.

Do take a look at it if you have the chance. Nevertheless, I think the drama is better in that there is more room for development and therefore less "huh?!".

Regards,
Jon

hihi
i watched itazura na kiss and think that it is really great too ! i loved sato's acting and the general pace of the show but i find the ending very abrupt...irie didn't give any hint of liking kotoko at all throughout the show but just suddenly changed his mind at the end of the show... i think the directing was very poor in that sense.

hi : )
sorry for this late reply.
actually, i don't know what TS stands for but i know that it's a name of a vcd shop that sells lotsa jap dramas. it has quite alot of branches all around singapore.

in terms of picture clarity and also the chinese subtitles..i think it's very good.
i've seen some dramas where the picture always comes out very dark..and this one doesn't.

gd luck with ur collection ! : )

Hihi
ya i agree with you as i have brought the itazura na kiss vcd too. It was so funny that i laugh until stomach pain. My friend started to use the word "BAKA" whenever i make any mistake. Haha. But the Drama is quite different from the comic.

doomo yuki-san,

I am very glad that you enjoyed Saimin. I think both the leads are casted well: Goro has this very mysterious air about him, and Seto can look vulnerable and manipulative at different times.

Did you understand what happened in the end though? Like how Seto's character died in the end and why?


Ja, Aoi

Hi cmeillim

Unfortunately I didn't understand the last part as how Seto's character died. In fact, I couldn't figure out why Goro tried to stop her from looking at the butterflies in the museum. That causes her death? How?

U've got any idea? Puzzle???

Ja ne!

Hi minnasan,
Just watched 'Aishiteiru to itte kure '(Say you love me)

Quite a nice show,and with a touch of humour.
The male lead 'Toyokawa Etsushi' really acted well as a mute and deaf character in this this drama.Worth watching!

Regards

Dear Yasuko,

Thanks for the recommendation. I was hunting high and low for this title, until I saw the Ri-Zun edition a few days ago. Inevitably, the presence of a handicapped character sparked off quite a few comparisons with "Beautiful Life".

Nevertheless, I am inclined to think that although "Beautiful Life" is Tokiwa Takako's mega-hit, "Aishiteiru to itte kure" still shines alongside with "Meguri Ai" as an early gem. What's your opinion?

Regards,
Jon

I know other ppl maybe didn't like IWGP, but I did. I thought it was quite fun and funky. Good direction and stuff (based on a manga, too, I think).

I also liked and agree you should get Ao No Jidai, Itazura Na Kiss (but it is *very* much like a comic book!), and Yamato Nadeshiko. I liked Shiroi Kage, but unless you are a big Nakai Masahiro fan, maybe you won't be impressed. I did not see Lucky With Men, gomen, and Kabachitare bored me.

I hope this helps.
Ja!
