I have watched several episodes and i really like this show especially the main actress.
It is a love story between a 35 year old career woman(Fashion line) and a younger guy.

Imai Miki looks good in the show. The supporting case is quite good too. You'll stick around for the ending.

Hi yvetsh Wink ,

Thank you very much for your infos and recommendations about "BRAND".
I'm glad to get different opinions about this show because previously I got kinda' of "not so recommended" opinions about this show. Big Grin
Well,..I just wanna give another try to get other views about this show.
Thank God, you gave a good review about this show that makes me re-considering to "will watch" this show.

And yes, I'm eager to see Imai Miki in this show. I don't much about this artiste but when saw her picture on the internet, I get interested.
She's pretty. Big Grin
Oh yeah,..does she looks like the Singaporean artiste, PHYLLIS QUEK ???
Atleast, that's what I assume when I saw Imai Miki's pic. Because I never saw Imai Miki before at TV, maybe my guessing is wrong.

Thanks

enau

Hi enau,

Glad that my comments has been helpful :)

You are right, Miki Imai does looks like Phyllis Quek,
both of them are very charismatic.

yvetsh,

Wow ! Never thought that my guessing was right Big Grin
Yeah,..Phyllis Quek is charismatic, she looks gorgeous in "Legend of Eight Immortals" (the kungfu series) alongside Jacelyn Tay. ;)

Thanks

I thought this was pretty good. It was only the second time I'd seen Somegoro Ichikawa, the other time was in Pride and he was real good in both. Applaud

Well this is really an oldie but definitely a goodie. I loved this drama. I truly admired Somegoro playing this role. such restraint and finesse which I think came from his stage training. I liked the story basically, but Somegoro made it for me. When he changed from modern dress to his tea ceremony scenes he had a different persona altogether.

Recently saw a lovely picture of him and his father and his very young son. I think the little boy is maybe four years old. He had just made his debut with his father and grandfather in the Kabuki company that Ichikawa Somegoro now heads. Quite a long family history with their clan.

Somegoro does not have much time away from the Kubuki but when he does he is always memorable. Loved him in "PRIDE" with Takuya Kimura.
They are good friends. He is Matsu's brother.
