Beautiful Life is the most touching drama I've ever seen. Kimura and Tokiwa have great chemistry, and both did great in their roles. (Especially Tokiwa, she was excellent as Kyoko.) You see their relationship grow throughtout the whole series, although the ending is sad... made me cry more than once. I also liked the sidestory with Masao and Sachie. Watabe was funny as Masao, he had such an awkward manner, very amusing XD. Overall, it's a nice, heartwarming love story.

I originally got this drama because I'm a Koyuki fan and I also wanted to see Sakaguchi, but I was pleasently surprised. The entire cast was great. It's a drama about a lasting bond of friendship between 7 individuals, and how it helped them through struggles in their life. There were many touching moments (I especially liked the part when the old people gave Satomi the picture) and I was glued to the screen from start to finish. The ending was sad and I was a little bit disappointed in the last episode, but overall it does deserve a 9 out of 10.

I've been putting off watching Summer Snow because I already knew the ending, but I just couldn't hold off any longer! But I did watch it with a sense of dread, because it is sad. But overall I feel satisfied after watching it. This drama was great, not the standard plot line, and pretty much unpredicable. I really loved all the characters. The acting from them, especially the main 5, was great, especially the chemistry between Natsuo (Dohmoto) and Yuki (Hirosue). It is definetly a drama I won't soon forget, and a must watch for any dorama fan.

I enjoyed Gokusen from start to finish. I never found myself smiling at the computer screen as often I did while watching this. Nakama Yukie was wonderful as Yankumi, and Matsumoto Jun was also great as Sawada Shin. ALL of the characters were memorable, and I loved the unity and loyalty of Sawada and his friends and the rest of 3-D. I could go on forever listing all the great things about this drama, but I have to stop somewhere. I'll say one last thing -- GTO ain't got nothing on Gokusen.

This is actually one of my favorites. Another great one for Kimura Takuya.

I liked how they showed Kimura's character interacting with his family, playing around with his brother and trying to get through to his father.

It seems like every character has something unique to add to the plot. I loved watching the subtle romance grow between Shinkai (Kimura) and Ogawa (Shibasaki), and Koda (Tsutsumi) finally loosening up and trying to start his relationship with Togashi (Kuroki) over. Then there was comic relief from Shinkai's crazy neighbor, and the pilot Naito Jane (Takenaka), who I really liked.

I found the flights and incidents interesting. This drama makes me think pilots are so cool! It's definetly one everyone should look into watching.

I loved this drama. Wakui and Sorimachi are both great actors, and I loved Takeda as Kazumi's Oto-san.

The scene in the hospital room with Kazumi and her father, with Kaoru in the background (after he brings her back from her mother's grave) was so touching! As were many other parts.

Also, the ending was just perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes love stories, this was really an excellent drama.

This drama was a lot different than any other drama I'd ever seen, it was pretty dark. But I loved it. I loved the interaction between Hina (Ueto) and Koga-sensei (Fujiki), they were fantastic in these roles. I liked the (weird!) plotline with Beniko (Sonim), Fujimura-sensei (Kyomoto), and Yuji (Narimiya) too. I think I should mention Narimiya played Yuji brilliantly. The plot was really unpredictable, it turned out to be so different than I had originally imagined.

I know that what Koga did was horrible, but he just wanted someone to understand what he was feeling. No one in the right state of mind would do that, and because of his fatal illness, he obviously wasn't. Anyways, a great drama, with a sad ending.
