Love Revolution 2001 · Fuji TV

No Big Deal

I don't understand why people think this dorama is so great. I fell for the hype and purchased it in DVD. It was just ok, I guess. It started out great, but dragged toward the middle, and toward the end it was almost excruciating. Also Ryoko Yonekura looks more cross-eyed that usual here.

Funny series

Like most sequels, it doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor though. Nice cast, funny story, entertaining overall, but nothing terribly exciting. Matsuoka Masahiro is adorable here though!

GREAT SERIES!

Easily one of the most romantic series I've ever watched. Too bad it's unsubbed...but even with my limited understanding of nihonggo, I HIGHLY ENJOYED this dorama! Great story, great cast, lovely soundtrack :) The premise is a little bit overdone, but they pulled it off beautifully. I'm purposely desisting from watching the 3rd & 4th sequels because I don't want to ruin the romantic image in my mind of Makihara and Asakura, lol. Matsuoka Masahiro was GORGEOUS here! It seems he had his growth spurt somewhere between Psychometer Eiji 1 & this series, hehe. In Eiji 1 he looked really young, he still had babyfat and a babyface. His mature (sexy arrogant young doctor type) character in Nurse No Oshigoto 2 is a pleasant surprise (since both series were done in the same year.)

Great story, funny and heartwarming. All the episodes were entertaining and exciting enough to keep me glued. Mabo was very very good here :)

Tengoku ni ichiban chikai otoko Season 2 2001 · TBS

Hmm...

I bought this because I fell in love with the original Tengoku Ni Ichiban Chikai Otoko. Same premise, alot of the same actors, but I was really disappointed cause Jinnai's character wasn't as interesting :-/ The whole time I was watching it I was waiting for the "Kuyashikamou"'s (sp) & the "kamaramou!"'s (sp,) hehehe. Mabo is 500% more kakkoii here though than in the first, so that's a plus. (*edit SPOILER* ok just finished watching it, and TENDO's crazy persona appeared briefly at the end of the last episode. Too bad they made him out to be some kind of lunatic though)

Psychometrer eiji Season 2 1999 · NTV

Great series!

Refreshing change from the usual mush (although I did like the chemistry between *ahem* mrs. Kimura (hehe) and Mabo. I liked the plot, each case was interesting and exciting. (As always) Mabo is very kakkoii in this!

The cast is stellar, the script wonderful, and the acting great. The soundtrack rocks too.

Blackjack ni Yoroshiku 2003 · TBS

WONDERFUL SERIES

I was kind of turned off by the darkness of the first episode, I almost didn't watch the rest. Now though, this is one of my favorites. The portrayal of life as a new doctor is so painfully honest, Saito Sensei was so earnest too. Tsumambuki Satoshi did an awesome job here. He's definitely one of my favorite actors ever.

Asunaro hakusho 1993 · Fuji TV

sad

21 Feb 2004

the story is really sad :( as always, watched it mainly because of kimura. Much to my disappointment he only had a supporting role, and looked really nerdy until the last quarter of the series (when they were all "grown up," lol) I skimmed through the last episode of this one, it really dragged.

Kyousoukyoku 1996 · TBS

so-so (wouldnt bother if it didn't have kimura)

I'm in the middle, the story drags somewhat; but Kimura is, as always, hot enough to keep me glued (despite the super LOW QUALITY copy I'm watching) :P the female lead has the most annoyingly whiney voice though, I hate it.
