Nobuta wo Produce

Spoiler — click to reveal

I don't know...but doesn't his popularity mean the most to Shuji? :sweat: man I hate his class.....a bunch of shallow, fickle-minded people....I think the next episode will be a continuation of the ending of ep 7.....Shuji being lonely and sad....poor Shuji looks so defeated sitting at the playground, for all his popularity, he doesn't have any real friends..all the supposed "friends" around him are making use of him too

minna,
thanks so much for the lyrics and loads of spoilers!!! GAWD! just by reading your spoilers, it brought tears to my eyes!! ep7 is one hell of a SAD episode!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!! it's sooo heartbreaking!!!! :(

But I guess HYD is quite more famous becoz there`s the Manga and the Anime, so of course...becoz it was so popular, people also wanted to watch the drama...and HYD don`t need that much PR, becoz it already has, through manga and anime...

Yeah, agree polarp....this boy is so adorable and such a cutie!! since Nobuta he has become so popular.... :rofl:

I guess "Nobuta. wo Produce" isn't as popular as "Hana Yori Dango" because of the things you said--but also because the storyline for "NwP" isn't nearly as interesting as that of "HYD"! Near the center of the series, the episode with the ghost teenagers coming from a different high school completely changed the mood of the drama. We're not sure what category to put the drama in anymore--comedy/teen romance/emotional drama or comedy/funny sci-fi...? The principal, Akira's uncle, and the bookstore seller are supposed to provide some diversion from the 3 main character focus, but they're not interesting enough to do so. The only other character outside of the "3" (Akira, Shuji and Nobuko) that we can actually understand is Shuji's "almost-girlfriend."

"HYD" has a lot more characters who are fleshed out, side characters who engage you temporarily and keep up at a fast pace. "NwP" kind of lags until something monumental happens. However, when "NwP" does have it's humor, it's very cute.

I hope to see more of:
- Nobuta's step-father
- Nobuta realizing she has a crush on Shuji, perhaps
- Nobuta realizing that Akira likes her for who she is
- Shuji's transformation
- Akira's life with his uncle
Overall, I want to see more than just Shuji and Nobuta grow--it'd be nice to see more growth in Akira's personality besides his eccentricity.

yah it's so hard to classify Nobuta no Produce...it's supposedly a youth drama but there are supernatural elements and mystery thrown in too... that's the reason why I like it....but I don't understand the part about the ghost teenagers too....
Nobuta is pretty thought-provoking at times, not to mention touching, especially when u are seeing the school through Shuji's eyes...I think Shuji has grown, at least now he's finally able to face himself and be who he wants to be instead of what everyone expects him to be...just my lil' opinion

I think everyone in this drama has grown...so they produced themselves...but not only Nobuta, as they`ve planned...also Nobuta produced Akira and Shuji a lil bit...I guess...

I really hope, that for there future it`ll turn out to be the right thing...

good good

ep2 seem so long ago...i cant rmb what happened! o i rmb.... the makeover and the yello paint... yes yes all the episodes have funny antics! haha nobuta did look freaky at the begining...esp her trying to smile...

^Your ava is so cool~ I don't remember seeing an crooked gif avatar before. Might have to steal the idea in the future :twisted:


I think a big reason for its lower popularity than HYD is because it's on NTV. They are not as famous for dorama compared to Fuji or TBS. This series, 16ish percent rating is one of highest rating for a non-Gokusen NTV series.

yeah, just started watching, as it finishes d/l'ing...
it's funny, a nice change from 1 litre of tears, which is also good.

ok, finished 1, now it makes better sense, and off to the 3rd one...

that main guy's friend, is quite wacked, like he's acting drunk, but he is hilarious. And the girl, despite her scaryness in the beginning, she kinda cute... :beatyou: :bonk:

haha..yeah.. Akira is really cracked up.....And Akira's character can be really annoying sometimes... But yet I love Akira's character.....haha... He's drunkeness is just way too adorable.. And to think.. Poor Yamapi has to act that like in every episode.. Must be very tireing trying to act drunk all the time.....haha

hahaha! on the contrary, yamapi might be enjoying his drunkard role/easy going type! hehehe..'coz he gets to play around in the set! hehehe..i just love any mannerisms he does in the series

minna,
hyd maybe more popular, but i dunno..i like no buta better! hahaha! weird me!

tk_iva,
girl! my friend will upload it tonight, hopefully i can PM you the link tomorrow :)

Nice, I really thinks Nobuta has great moments...and this drama is also like a charmaeleon, nobody knows what will happen enxt :hehe: Really, people watching HYD I think know all the storyline and the producers of HYD have to go after the Manga....

I dunno, but I think the change of Nobuta into a girl and the addition of Akira makes this drama really funny!!

But if someone would ask me I couldn't tell which I like better... :sweat:

really, thats interesting... i never knew that...never been to japan before let alone watched tv there to know... but i'll still stick to the HYD has the manga/anime following...

1 litre is really good...but its such a different kinda drama u cant compare them...they have differnet charms to them.

Yes Akira was really drunk/high and annoying in the first few eppies...but his character has grown on me and the really drunk acting as died down to just akriaism....<---a fan girl talking here..haha...if u catch up to eppie 7 u'll see the mood will change...this drama is unpredictable-ish...


jcrina its not just u. i'm actually more excited to watch nobuta... cus i have no expectations of how the story will go...HYD is good, but i had expectations and i feel its whizzing thru the storylines i my eyes its lost its charm. I loved the Manga and its always hard to live up to the manga.

Yes, unpredictable!! that`s a major part of it`s charm!! the unpredictability (does this word exist?? :mrgreen: ) And also HYD is a bit boring now, because really the manga is so famous and they made alreadu an anime!! :applaud: but really the actors are good....I mean in both dramas HYD and Nobuta!!! :dancing: So kakkoi!! But my fav above all ths actors is P, yes our cute stalker!!! :rofl:

I agree with you all that HYD loss out in terms of the surprises. I regretted watching the Taiwan version now.. I believe that Japan version is definitely a better version in terms of casts, plot, OST etc....

Back to Nobuta, I think it Akira is extremely kawaii. Totally change my impression on Yamap. I had watched quite a number of his dramas but did not leave much impression. I think this one should be considered as his best performance, at least to me.. Really like the hand sign - kiss followed by the "kon kon".. did I just wrote a spoiler?? :sweat:

Yah...i've watched Stand up, Dragonzakura and Long Love Letter and I really love his performance in Nobuta... :applaud: In my opinion he stole the show from Kame who's the main character....he really make Akira believeable and kawaii despite being a misfit....he's the underdog u love...and I think after acting in Nobuta, there are so many acting possibilities for him
