Tukata

Takuya Kimura might have been the most popular actor among many other Japanese fans, however, in my personal opinion, in all his TV series which I have seen, I can only saw "Takuya Kimura" himself but hardly the characters he acted in. Acting is such a challenging career and it proves your skill to "act". For me, he can't be counted as a good actor. He is always his own self. Honestly, starting from the first chapter, just seeing his hair style, I wonder whether the 'Executives' in the late 60's in Japan, in particular, would wear that Takuya hair style ? ...... needless to say more...

The plot however, is very interesting. It shows how people could be so ruthless and cruel...c'est la vie... bad guy lives....

I love this drama. The best part of it is a strong chemistry between Wada & Nakama which leads to a beautiful and touching love story....

I only had a chance to see this drama only recently and I have to admit that I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything is perfect both the storyline and the acting of the whole ensemble. My thump up for the talented Yutaka Takenouchi whom I have never been disappointed, such a great acting from him. After watching this drama... I kept on asking myself... where have all the good things go.. how come ... I can hardly find any drama of this kind anymore ... then I realized that .. yes, there was one .. ''Rondo" of which Yutaka was also there... a big hand for him for choosing the be in only quality drama... thanks ! and thanks a lot !

I do love Yamapi but just wonder why he always ends up acting with the same leading actresses, I mean now twice with Masami Nagasawa, and twice with Maki Horikita... Gosh...it's boring to see him act with the same girls...

also wondering what would he be thinking that he always be with the same actress especially in Nobuta and Kurosagi... it completely kills the chemistry... huhhh..... perhaps mine, not his...

Great production, good acting, very educative, however it's too unrealistic and too heroic ! Japanese dramas are always overloaded with this extreme heroic roles....

By the way, I hate the ending.. in Thailand we have only great and world-class doctors,..... there is no place for Dr. Nogouchi... :-b .... but we would welcome someone like... Ryotarou Asada.... and Ijuuin (most wated ha ! ha ! ha !)

Oshio and Yada are now married !.... wow !....

This is only a so-so drama, never understand why people praised it so much. Despite the fact that I really love and adore Yamapi, I feel that this is only the same old theme which Japanese dramas always hook to. Most shocking to learn that this drama got the best drama award... gosh... why not one liter of tears.... and Kame.. best actor... my goodness.. how could it be! What a dissapointment... huhh... sorry for the fans.. but this is my true feeling about this drama...

A warm family-valued theme drama .. never out of date..lots of laughs though. Good acting from all the ensembles. Something to watch when you feel bored. It can lighten you up. Nino is cute, just want to twist his cheeks... ... how come all these years he has never changed ! ... always looks young.. very boyish face... up til now... love him..

Thanks for a great drama and an interesting change in the J drama storyline, for once. Yutaka... what a great actor..thanks for wonderful acting. You are gorgeous. I love this drama and Yutaka.....

The story is quite interesting but casting of the leading role is a disappointment. Despite his good looks, Tackey is not a suitable actor to act as a samurai. He is too short (sorry !) and his face is too pretty. The last scene also proves that he is far priettier than the princess bride ! What a pity! huhhhh....
