its serie of the week over at d-addicts.....another KimuTaku drama..... :sweat:

It seems too dark. I dont think I'm in the mood for that.

I heard mix reviews about Good Luck and Beautiful Life
Beautiful Life - heard it was slow
Good Luck - .. well I heard some stuff about this too
But I think I'm gonna watch both. Maybe I can finally understand the fuss about KimuTaku (I havent seen anything spectacular w his acting)

will DL soon and burn TY!!

Dark?? really.....him in such a drama. interesting.


I find Good Luck to be good.
If you've seen Attention Please, you'll find its similar to that.
KimuTaku's character is trying to go from Co-Pilot to Pilot is pretty much what it is.

I think he's a good actor, I give him that...but I still think Takeshi Sorimachi is better :mrgreen:

Everything that has Nagase Tomoya in it is usually good....

You've gotta watch Tiger and Dragon, the story, soundtrack, and the ending was really good... :applaud:

Ikebukuro West Gate Park english subs aren't finished yet? I actually watched it with Indonesian text...Those guys who did the subs did a good job but they lowered the quality... 12 episodes in 8 CDs. pretty good story, gangsta...

And why should you watch Ikebukuro West Gate Park? Hmmm... Things that happen in this dorama you wont be able to find it ( i think ^^ ) in other doramas with the same casts... Nagase Tomoya, Kenji Sakaguchi, and Yamapi in one title with such story... Yummy...

I'm dying for My Boss My Hero

Anyone seen double score???

Would recommend it???

Also....anyone know where to get this?

My Boss My Hero
Last Christmas
Shotgun Marriage
Wedding Planner
Attention Please
Kinpachi Sensei
Tiger and Dragon
Kisarazu Cats Eye
Pride

Just to name enough to keep you busy until end of year

okay looking at your pf
you didnt like Last Christmas?
I really enjoyed that one
and you didnt like Kou Shibasaki from Orange Days? :shocked:
so.. youre looking for a drama with a good eyecandy and story?
since you like Jun Matsumoto.. maybe you should try Kimi Wa Petto
for a sad one.. Sekai No Chuushin (probably as good as Diar w/ Tears)

if u like Yamapi, u should watch DragonZakuea n Lunch no Joou
and if you like MatsuJun, u should watch Hana Yori Dango..

n if u like Yukie (Yankumi) u should watch Trick

and u should watch Mukodono
it's funny
esp with Nagase is in there

lol, i think he went thru different stages, i liked his acting in GTO, virgin road and Over Time, but his more recent stuff in Hotman, Hotman 2 and that disaster Sengoku Jieitai wasn't as good i felt :sweat:

takuya's pretty consistent across his doramas

he is still japanese television's golden boy.

After the likes of Attention Please and My Boss My Hero (both REALLY good)... I need a really good comedy... Watched thru the first 20 minutes Tiger & Dragon Special and found it really boring... Does the series get better??

Also a good drama like Kurosagi would be nice...

Tiger and Dragon is really good. The humor is there.......maybe you don't haev much love for Rakugo or something...... :sweat:

Have you tried Kisarazu cats Eye or Stand Up??? These are supposet to be funny. I know KCE is :victory:

Maybe I need to spend more time with T&D. I've only seen the first 20 minutes of the 90 min special. I dunno but I just don't quite get the jokes. Or maybe you're right... Maybe I can't appreciate Rakugo...

I guess I need something laugh out loud like My Boss My Hero. I guess I'll try Kisarazu...

sleeping forest: TRULY amazing!!!
kurosagi: funny and witty
Nobutowoprodusu: Beyond awesome! Also a thinker.
I have more drama's that I've seen but those are really my favs.

I recommend Gokusen, you'll like it.
I heard it was a little similar to My Boss My Hero.
But instead of the student being the gangster, the teacher is the gangster.
I haven't seen MBMH, but Gokusen is really good.
You might also like GTO (similar to Gokusen except a male teacher)
Hana Yori Dango was pretty funny
Orange Days and Last Christmas are both funny and "romantic"

Nobuta wo Produce, 1 litre of tears (SAD) would be some of the more popular ones here. and Densha Otoko
Read the plot/synopsis of those and see which one you want to see.
They're all available for DL

If you're a fan of the Kai "dude from Orange Days" He's in like the last 2 eps or so. Not that bigga role, but he's in it
