Beautiful life 2000 · TBS

A fantasy romance story

9 / 10

25 Jul 2008

Another sad ending romance story. One of the fantasy story telling which will NOT happen to real life. Great casts and theme songs. Urge everyone to watch it......just for the fantasy sake. :)

GTO 1998 · Fuji TV

GTO is definitely one of the classics.

This is the 2nd dorama after Love Generation that i ever watched and loved it. Like the uniqueness of the story and hard to imagine to have a teacher like that. GTO is definitely one of the classics.

Hero 2001 · Fuji TV

Entertaining

One of the best detective doramas. Again...with kimura in the casts, nothing seems too bored.

Cheap Love 1999 · TBS

A so-so drama

6 / 10

25 Jul 2008

This show is neither too romantic nor too action packed. Kinda leads you wondering. Watched it because of Sorimachi. Slightly entertaining.

Beach boys 1997 · Fuji TV

One of the classic show.

Very strong and attractive casts. Nice songs too. Definitely one of the classic show.

Water Boys 2003 · Fuji TV

Funny dorama

8 / 10

25 Jul 2008

One of the most hilarious dorama i ever watched. Didn't guys can do water ballet too. Recommend everyone to watch it.

Koishite Shinitai 1999 · TBS

Great casts

25 Jul 2008

Watched it because of the great casts. But isn't one of the most touching romance story. Great theme songs though.

Kamisama mou sukoshi dake 1998 · Fuji TV

Theme songs are nice.

25 Jul 2008

It is kinda weird for a schoolgirl to buy concert tickets just to prostitute herself. Afterall, there are alot ways to earn money. Nonetheless, i was attracted by the theme songs and the last few episodes are kinda sad. Good casts. Worth watching.

Pride 2004 · Fuji TV

Nice story

Kimura. Everything seems perfect with him in the show. Great casts with nice story plot.

Orange Days 2004 · TBS

Overcome all obstacles

8 / 10

25 Jul 2008

One of the best dorama based on physically disabled. The flow of the story is quite ok from episode 1 to the last. Neither too dull nor too slow. Just right! It also shows the perspective of a deaf person how she interpret her world in silence, love life and her attitude towards music, as well as her difficulties of making friends, studying and working. Definitely must watch it.

Slow Dance 2005 · Fuji TV

Weekend Entertainment

7 / 10

25 Jul 2008

The initial episodes were abit too slooooooowwwww...but kinda get more interesting towards the end. The main message is.. NOT TO GIVE UP your dreams no matter what happens. Even you start late, doesn't matter. So long you carry on to do what you wanna to do.

Summer snow 2000 · TBS

Life is unpredictable

8 / 10

25 Jul 2008

A heart warming dorama. A caring brother and lover, Dohmoto Tsuyoshi seems to portray well in the character. Unfortunately ends with a sad ending. Life is unpredictable. Cherish people around you.

Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu 2004 · TBS

Everlasting love still exists in the web generatio

7 / 10

21 Jul 2008

The same old dying-from-illness dorama but the story was touching when a guy couldn't let go of his past love for 17 years! Everlasting love still exists in the web generation??? Entertaining though.

Medaka 2004 · Fuji TV

The female version of GTO.

21 Jul 2008

Typical and expected story plot, but Mimura's acting will keeps you entertained. Nice theme song.

H2~Kimi to itahibi 2005 · TBS

Baseball fan probably like this.

7 / 10

21 Jul 2008

The story doesn't have much twist, not much humour, not much emotional scenes, not much in-depth love story. But still interesting to watch it. At least it get me hook on baseball games whenever they have competitions.

Last Christmas 2004 · Fuji TV

Captivating show.

8 / 10

21 Jul 2008

Unlike other dying illness dorama, this one ends with a happy ending. With the 80s music, the happy mood floats around you. Best time to watch this dorama is around november or early december. X'mas will never feel the same.

Engine 2005 · Fuji TV

Engine without much power.

7 / 10

21 Jul 2008

The whole dorama doesn't show much racing though. Somehow the title kinda misleading the audience. Was expecting more racing scenes and storyline to that....but the expectation was totally different. However with kimura in the cast, you can't help it....to like the dorama too.

CHANGE 2008 · Fuji TV

Good political dorama.

8 / 10

21 Jul 2008

Kimura is slowly moving more complex roles other than those typical romance characters. A political dorama is hard to entertain but somehow, with kimura's magical acting, it attracts the audience. Unfortunately, the ending doesn't seems complete...and madonna's song Miles Away doesn't really gel with this dorama.

Itoshi Kimie 2004 · Fuji TV

Good show but.....

7 / 10

21 Jul 2008

One of those doroma that focus on human illness to evoke viewers' emotions. However, something is lacking in this drama. The plot doesn't seem complete though.

Moto Kare 2003 · TBS

Nice theme song!

7 / 10

21 Jul 2008

This show reflects those frickle-minded and undecisive people. Be more truthful whom you love. Besides the great plot, you will definitely enjoy the theme song too.

Good Luck !! 2003 · TBS

Entertaining.

The success of this dorama inspires HK TVB to make a similar drama based on airline industry! Not the best of Kimura shows but entertaining enough to keep your wkends.

Stand UP!! 2003 · TBS

Stand up to watch if you feel bored.

A Dorama specifically created for the teens. 4 virgin schoolboys trying to ditch away their virgin status, by trying all means and methods to get bed with girls. However, it always ends up nothing and i guess this is a moral dorama aiming at youngsters out there. Having casual sex with strangers or one who dont love is kinda morally incorrect. Guess nowadays youngsters take casual sex too lightly and that is probably why, this dorama is ever produced! Educating through dorama is simply one small step!

Food fight 2000 · NTV

Watch it only for the theme song!

6 / 10

21 Jul 2008

The only attraction of this dorama is the THEME SONG. Other than that, none of the story interest me. Kinda expected ending for every episodes. You will definitely knows who will win for every competition. Story plot kinda dull and lucky for the theme song, that makes me watching it till the end.

Love complex 2000 · Fuji TV

Complex Title, Complex Story

5 / 10

21 Jul 2008

As its title says.....Love complex....if you love complex story telling. Other than that, not much emotional or laughter happening in this show.

Taiyou no uta 2006 · TBS

Chase your dreams while you can!

8 / 10

21 Jul 2008

Erika Sawajiri is getting too professional in acting dying roles. From her 1 litre of tears experience, i guess she had perfected the emotional scene. The only difference between 1 litre of tears and this is....one seek to live while the other seek for her dreams, her ambition of being a singer. Both dramas motivates ppl...but somehow this drama seems a bit of lacking. Kinda a fantasy that you know, won't happen in real life. Not the sickness but her luck meeting an understanding b.f and a music producer willingly to release her album. Nonetheless, the core part of the drama is the music. 2 excellent piece of songs sang by Erika Sawajiri. Not fully polish but great to listen.

Ichi Ritoru no Namida 2005 · Fuji TV

Your heart shed tears for her.

In this drama, it reflects how cruel our society is. When Aya is down with the deadly disease, you can see how friends keep away from her. You realised how fortunate to be a healthy person and the ugliness of public perception at those disabled. You can see how her 1st boyfriend shun her despite that he knows that she suffered from the disease. You realised friends are NOT forever to help you, they will feel 'tired' one day and give up on you. You will understand the strength of a family support. That kind of strength that support till the end and never ever give up on you. This is really a DRAMATIC drama, you can't help it but feel sad for Aya. She really motivates people with her strength and quotes. Favourite quote: "While other people struggling for their future, I'm struggling to live."

Love generation 1997 · Fuji TV

Knock Out!

One of the most fantastic love story that ever created. It seems so real, nothing whimsical, that one can relates to own experience. Misunderstandings that often ruin one's relationship.

Even after watching the 2nd time, it still gives you the lovey dovey feeling. The show is so memorable and Matsu Takako character in the dorama seems like a perfect partner that one ever wish for.

Indeed one of the best dorama that you should watch. No regrets even it is an old one. Simply mesmerising story.
