Yucan Club!!!!
Wooww! I'm really happy. I voted too. I wanted to support them and LOoooLLL they won! :) This is the fan's power! Yeeeah!
I'm sure they are very happy now and have confident.
Personally I voted for YC and the boys but I think Galileo, Iryu 2 and SP were much better :)
I think Galileo will win on the Academy Award (YC and its cast has no chance) cause there will vote not just readers (fans) but journalists and judges too.
Anyway congratulaton to YC and the boys.
Btw do you know anything how will vote readers for Academy Dorama Award? Could anybody vote via net?
Yuukan Club winning is the dumbest thing ever. Hopefully the Dorama Academy Wards is more reliable. :grumble: Now that Junno also wins, the J-dorama world has really come to an end.
