Drama reviews 5

Guilty Akuma to Keiyakushita Onna 2010 · Fuji TV

The screenwriter is no Shakespeare

3 / 10

24 Mar 2011

Poor character development, poor romance development. Overall, Guilty is a poor drama. I couldn't take anything in this drama seriously, especially that joke of an ending. What a useless drama. I learned nothing from it and apparently neither did the characters.

Ningen no Shoumei 2004 · Fuji TV

Call me overly sensitive, BUT...

24 Mar 2011

This drama is too racist and too stereotypical for my liking. I just finished episode 2 and I don't think I can watch anymore. I find the writing too offensive and over the top.

Deep Love ~ Ayu No Monogatari 2004 · TV Tokyo

It could have been better

6 / 10

Eh...it was a "decent" tribute to the manga. I don't believe the screenwriter captured the full essence of Deep Love (unapologetic and hopelessness) but I have to give them credit for nailing the characters down. They were perfect IMO and because of that I can overlook the screenwriter's attempt at trying to make this a dark comedy. (when it clearly isn't)

If you're serious about watching this drama, I'd strongly suggest reading the manga Deep Love: Ayu No Monogatari beforehand.

Itoshi Kimie 2004 · Fuji TV

Nothing special

5 / 10

6 Feb 2011

Ugh. After hearing all the rave reviews, I was expecting a masterpiece.

I guess my expectations were too high?

I found Itoshi Kimie to be completely underwhelming. We've seen these characters before. We've seen this romantic set-up before. What annoyed me the most, overall, is that we have seen these plot points before. Rather than being touched by the inspiring dialogue, I found myself rolling my eyes at the unoriginality. Every aspect of this drama felt very contrived and forced. It was hard for me to make any emotional connection with these characters because they never felt like real human beings. It felt like they were just going through the motions, wherever the screenwriter would take them. As another poster said, you could have replaced his disease with any other life threatening one and you would have gotten the same result. And thatfsc.disappointing.

Sunao ni Narenakute 2010 · Fuji TV

Biggest 'WTF?' of 2010 so far

3 / 10

I didn't expect such sloppy work from Kitagawa Eriko. It felt like I was watching Last Friends, the awkward version. The characters were given dirty little secrets just for the sake of having dirty little secrets. There were too many subplots thrown in that left me saying "What was the point of that?"
