This is a great dorama! A age-gap nationality-barrier tale of love and attraction between a vietnamese student learning japanese in Japan and his Japnaese language teacher. The romance in this dorama is so so real and great, and you get to see japan from foreigners eyes. Not only does this dorama focus on the impossibilities of the difficulties faced when there is a huge age gap between men and women (esp. as in Japan a woman dating/marrying a younger man is a no no) but also a japanese woman dating/marrying a main land asian. You have to watch this! You get to see Shingo as different from his real charecter as posible.

The theme song Pride was the biggest singlle of that year!

A great baseball star suffers an enjury and can't play professionaly, a little boy writes to him to come coach their elementary baseball team, and his sister helps to make hetr little brother dream come true.

Great baseball dorama. Sorimachi overdoes it as usual at times, but Haegawa kyoko makes up for that. I find that you don't have to be really into baseball to be into this dorama. Its funny and endearing and a recommended watch.
