GTO 1998 · Fuji TV

Superb drama!!!

10 / 10

My all time favourite if i have to choose just one Jap drama (Mukodono come close).... this is the first jap drama that make me teared.... especially the last few episodes..... haha... i read the manga as well but i still loved the tv series better as it's more realistic and Takashi's Gto showed more concern for his students (i noe diehard fans of the manga wont agree wif me)... i loved the song "poison" (although i think the movie version of "poison sounds better but pls don watch the movie, it sux :) as well...

Mukodono! 2001 · Fuji TV

Best drama ever!!!

Another of my all time favourite (ranked way up there wif GTO)... this is one drama tt cannot be missed.... i was crying during nearly every episodes (as was the case wif mukodono 2003) and this show is funni like hell too... loved the role of yuichiro sakuraba (nagase tomoyo is way too likable in this role)... takuechi yuko is also veri likable and sweet as his wife..... i personally loved shinohara ryoko (too bad she's not tt popular in japan), so seeing her in this show was a big bonus.... lastly, the song "Hitoribotchi no Haburashi" is juz too nice!!!

Mukodono 2003 2003 · Fuji TV

great drama, although i have to minus one mark for the ending (a bit ridiculous).... watched both "mukodono"s and i really cant decide which one is better (although alot of ppl loved the original better)... i think mukodono 2003 showed a different part of sakuraba yuichiro... 2003 focus more on his longing for his mother, which i can relate to (the first mukodono, i cannot relate to him being devastated due to someone tt is not even close to him).... nagase tomoyo is great as yuichiro sakuraba, super convincing (as both the nerd and the star)and the bigger budget for this 2003 version make him look more like a superstar (the bigger amount of fans and security guards).... noriko sakai is so gd in her role (which is pretty different from takeuchi yuko's role in the first) tt i want to marry her n bring her home!!!haha... loved the song "Omae yanai to akan nen", such a romantic song!!! this is one drama tt made me cried during nearly every episodes.... P.s i really like shinohara ryoko too... she's juz so sexy....

Love Revolution 2001 · Fuji TV

Great show, although a bit nonsensical..haha, more like manga or anime than a drama... loved Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's character and of course, the lovely kyoko fukada!!! Innovative show with alot of funny and touching moments.... loved the theme song "lion heart" by Smap as well....

Beach boys 1997 · Fuji TV

Classic!!!

Classic of the Classics! It's the jap drama tt glued me and alot of Singapore fans to jap dramas... it also made me like Takashi Sorimachi... Loved the way they mixed laughters and tears together.... and who can forget the songs "forever" and "sing a love song for me"?

Remote 2002 · NTV

A view from a person who have read the comics

A pretty interesting drama although it could have scored higher if it was a bit darker. The first 7 episodes r too light hearted although they were all murder cases, only from the "hungry man" episode onwards, do the episodes get a gd balance of seriousness, excitment n fun. Maybe it is because i have the comics, that's y i'm pretty bored at almost all the cases as i knew the processes n endings to them. I do not understand y they changed some of the cases but the "hungry man" n the last 2 episodes were pretty entertaining although they were different from the comics. The cast have to be given credit for bringing alive the characters. dohmoto koichi n kyoko fukada r really like the characters in the comics n the guy who acted as bob is even more entertaining than the bob in the comics! Only the caretaker looked too stiff n weird for her role. So ppl, stop blaming kyoko for being whiny, tt's how kurumi is like in the comics, innocent n whiny.
