Nodame Cantabile

From what you say, there's almost no way of avoiding it if they're going to be in Paris/Prague/Vienna...

And I agree: if they use Japanese actors to play Europeans, it'll be ridiculous... And most likely suck.

I forgot to mention this in my Nodame review: I love the mongoose...! :D :hehe:

I suppose... But Japan's not some backward 19th-century nation.

There's no way they could've gotten away with that stuff here in the States. :sweat:

Anyways, just trying to make a point. :)

Yeah, and in hana yori dango, they portray african-americans as
a) servants
b) thugs
c) bodyguards

:rolleyes:

Dumb. :shakehead:

Now I have even less interest in that drama... Not that I had any in the first place.

Only for like a couple minutes but still, very laughable.

I had enough trouble swallowing the guy who played Stresseman when he first appeared.

That guy (Takenaka Naoto) always plays oddball characters... I found him less annoying than the flaming gay guy. :bleh:

LOL. I thought there were 2 flaming gay guys. One had a fro and the other looked a little girly.

thanks.. right now im getting my copy of this in Silent Regrets.. but i will try this site.. arigato..

I finished watching it on Tuesday, I can't believe how much I enjoyed it. When I ordered it, I also got another dorama. The other one I watched right away, this one I watched Monday night because I was bored AND I immediately fell in love with it!
I thought 'why didn't I put this on sooner?' it really made me laugh and I didn't quite realise Tamaki was so cute ^__^ :beaten: <3 (makes me wanna read the manga, which I've picked up many, MANY times but NEVER actually got)

Yup.

The pretty boy gay guy looked like Yamada Takayuki with a bleach job.

I thought that WAS Yamada with his appendage removed. :twisted:

That pretty boy in NC is a few times prettier than Yamada. Have to admit Chiaki is the ultimate pimp. I don't recall seeing any drama/movie with a main guy who has 2 girls and 2 guys pining for his affection.
