Not the best but entertaining enough for me

8 / 10

24 Jan 2006

Detective drama is one of my dishes, so I don't want to miss this. Each of the stories told in this drama were different though not giving the edge of the seat suspense but it's entertaining enough to keep me watching it until the end, perhaps that's because of the comedy element included in this drama.
So glad that Koichi decided to take this role because it suited him very well. I don't think I have any comment on Kyoko Fukada's acting because she's being herself, cute and dense with her annoying scream. Ok, maybe most people find it adorable but not to me.

The theme song from Kinki kids was good and I really like it. It's pretty clear that this duo has powerful voice and none of them sounded like a frog. :)

Quite entertaining...but

I don't know how to put it as worst or good so I think in between. The action was half done and the script was bad for some good actors there (except Uehara Takako who did not impress me one bit with her acting, maybe Pinocchio would do a better Job). Katori Shingo and Ishibashi Ryo were mesmerizing which help me a lot to keep on watching this drama. The plot was rather complicated to explain here but to wrap up about what's this drama is all about, it contains Love, Revenge and Lust for Power. It's different and quite entertaining.

Kindaichi shonen no Jikenbo (2005) 2005 · NTV

surprising comeback!

I always love Kindaichi story from the first generation until the third one which was performed very well by Kamenashi Kazuya.
The casts of this special episodes did not disappoint me at all and the story line was quite gripping although I found it a bit predictable where it's near the end.

Overall, I am glad that Kamenashi was casted to play the third one, not being biased because I am also Johnny's jr fan but because he could act as Kindaichi very well as good as his seniors. This is what I called a surprising come back of Kindaichi with a fresh casts. I'm looking forward to see the series if the TV station has decided to make one.

Enjoyable

This is the kind of drama that I've been waiting for. It showed many aspects of early 30's women's problem. Ryoko Shinohara has done a great job. A surprising performance by Jin after Gokusen 2. He could act like a real young adult in this drama.
Anyway, this is a heartwarming drama that everyone should watch. Aside good story line you gotta see all the good lines of casting!!

they should replace the lead actress

Basically the drama is good but too bad..Fukakyon is annoying. She cannot act..(I'm just being objective here). I don't hate her nor do I like her.
It's a good thing that she was cast alongside with good actors and that save the dorama for being a failure

Woo..I got so glued on this dorama..I really got to have it once it's available on DVD or VCD..hehehe.. you really got to watch it.
So hilarious and unpredictable...too..the kind of love story that I like!! well done Yuko!
Never thought she has great chemistry with Uchino Masaaki.

Ningen no Shoumei 2004 · Fuji TV

It's a great drama

I was surprised that nobody has reviewed or at least make comments on this drama. Personally, I love this drama and it's not merely typical police-detective story investigating a murder crime. This drama also depicts many aspect of human characteristic that led us into some scene where you will experience many mixed emotion in the characters. You might be able to guess who killer is but the main aim of this story is not just how to catch the killer but how to deal with human who has complex character

The casting was great and everyone played their role really well. You will be able to see Takenouchi's ability to speak English in which I found it very surprising that he could do it so well.

Sugao no mama de 1992 · Fuji TV

Greatest Friendship drama I've ever seen.

10 / 10

15 Mar 2004

The story is simple. It's about two women from different background who loves the same man. They have to struggle over their conciousness to choose between friendship or sacrifice it to fight over the same man. The drama is very touching and the good casts compliments the story which blends into a perfect mix of love story and friendship. Highly recommended.
By the way, the soundtrack is so good.

Moto Kare 2003 · TBS

Drama abt retarded guy

3 / 10

20 Feb 2004

Well..basically, it's just retarded and not original at all...go watch mukashi no otoko at least you can see Osawa Takao, Abe Hiroshi and Norika Fujiwara...it's worth it. The only cast I like is Uchiyama Rina and the lady who teaches dancing (For those who've seen Shall we dance?..that's the same set and the lady who teaches also the same). Anyhow, just don't waste your time watching it. I bet those who love it only because they drool over Dohmoto Tsuyoshi, Hirosue Ryoko or Uchiyama Rina. The reason I watched it? ..OMG blame me..I just want to know what's so great abt it since it has created a big fuss..It's such a big let down.

Slightly disappointing

The only thing that made me bought this drama is Nakayama Miho. However, after watching it from one disc to another my disappointment has overthrown my excitement of watching this drama. What a let down. I just could not stand the character's stupidity. The one that save this drama is the cast other than that oh well just go watch it yourself.

What I like about J-drama is that there's always a novelty. This drama is the latest novelty. I like the story very much. Love and relationship can grow anywhere even in the worst part of the world. This drama teaches you something.

Good Luck !! 2003 · TBS

Memorable and Great!

This drama really deserves good credits. It has every bits of what a good story should have. This drama is really enjoyable. You can see the heroic act, family value and of course the romance. Good Luck is the great drama and memorable too. I personally think that it should be voted as one of the most memorable drama of this year.
