Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
Heart-warming drama about Miki, a 14-year old girl who gets pregnant from her 15-year old boyfriend. Shida Mirai is my favorite child actor and plays the role of Miki perfectly. Tanaka Misato is convincing as a mother who supports her child no matter what. Namase Katsuhisa plays a dramatic (yet sometimes unintentionally hilarious) role as Miki's father. I thought this was a really great drama and highly recommend it. | 35-sai no Koukousei [35æ³ã®é«˜æ ¡ç”Ÿ]

Ai no Uta [ã‚ã„ã®ã†ãŸ]
Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
The beginning of this drama had a lot of potential--a woman who wants to forget her abysmal past has the chance to change her life by pretending to have amnesia. Despite the title, I was hoping that it would have a slightly darker element, but it turned out to be more of a family drama.
After living with Kataoka, the cop who takes her in after thinking she has amnesia (and his family), the main character Ai changes from a troubled woman to a kind, loving person.
The result (without spoilers): I was thinking that someone would die and kept on waiting for that tearjerker moment, but it just ended abruptly as the characters lived day to day, waiting for the inevitable to happen. Not much of a closure to me and I should rate it lower, but I thought the rest of the drama was decent and the actors did a pretty good job, so.. | Ai wa douda! [æ„›ã¯ã©ã†ã ]

I wasn't all that enthusiastic about watching this drama at first since I'm not much of a sports (or bowling) fan, but after I started on the first episode, I realized that even though the drama was mostly set in a bowling alley, it did not center around bowling at all. This drama is about the relationships that the bowlers and regulars had with each other. There is a slight romantic subplot in this drama and many other conflicts going on. I think this is a must-see for those who like old-school dramas. |

Because of the manga/anime tie-in, I didn't expect much, but this was a surprisingly good drama. While I thought this would be one of those cutesy/silly dramas, thankfully that wasn't the case here.
F4, short for "Flower 4" (ridiculous name if you ask me), are 4 cool guys who rule the school. Enter tough, poor girl Makino Tsukushi, who slowly wins their friendship and heart(s).
The whole cast was pretty good, but I have to say that Kato Takako (Tsukushi's boss) was my favorite. it's cute how they refer her as "okami" like they did in the Onsen e Ikou series. | Hana Yori Dango 2 [花より男å]
Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
With all the misunderstandings and lack of communication between the 2 main characters, this series gets tiring. The inclusion of a couple of female characters are another factor that comes between them. Throw in some Korean-style amnesia and we're in for a frustrating time. Still, this drama wasn't bad, it was actually pretty decent. Though with all the eye candy here, I'm sure that a lot of people (female) rated this series higher than it should be. | Hanamura Daisuke [花æ‘大介]

This drama is a real tearjerker, but sometimes I had the feeling like it was trying too hard to make the viewer emotional. Parts of it may seem slow-moving at times because it focuses on every little detail like Aya gradually not being able to do the things that she used to (walking, picking up things, etc.) There is also focus on relationships between her friends and how things changed between them because of her illness and also how her family copes with it.
I found this to be one of the more realistic Japanese dramas that I've seen. No flashiness, no excitement, just an interesting drama that focuses on a well-told story. | Ichiban Taisetsu na Hito wa Dare Desu ka? [一番大切ãªäººã¯èª°ã§ã™ã‹ï¼Ÿ]

This is the first drama that I liked Fukuyama Masaharu in. He plays a man who is still in love with his high school crush. Unfortunately for him, she still has a crush on his best friend. This drama is revolved around love triangles, one-sided loves, and lots of heartbreaks and is a must-watch for those who love romantic dramas. Only drawback was the lackluster ending that had me wonder, "That's it??" |

So far, this is like a bad ripoff of Double and Triple Kitchen. Nogiwa Yoko and Ito Shiro were the main characters in this too. Esumi Makiko was also in Triple Kitchen, so it all seems like a horrible remake and it's such a shame that these talented actors had to resort to reprising their roles in a lackluster drama.
The only thing that saved me from giving it a lower score was Sano Shiro's presence. Sure, he was only there for a glimpse at a time and his role was cliched like the others, but I don't care. |

Very amotional drama about a high school girl who contracts the HIV virus from selling her body.
What I really liked about this drama was that it didn't preach, it just told the story about the girl, her wrong choices, and the outcome. After a while, the main story focused on an unbelievable romance between her and a famous songwriter and the HIV/AIDs part took a backseat. Though it was far-fetched, I thought it was a great drama for its time and I enjoyed it a lot. |

Great drama! As many have said, it's very much like Sex and the City without the R-rating.
I found it to be a very fun drama that reminded me a little of an up-to-date version of Hitonatsu no Proposal. The characters were likeable (with the exception of Hosho Mai, who I have never liked), but at times, I found the indecisiveness and people not being open with each other really annoying, even though that's how it sometimes is in real life. Highly recommended! |

This drama had me angry, sympathetic, and smiling--such an emotional ride. Though I wouldn't consider it a favorite of mine, I found it to be a really great drama that really made me wonder what I'd do in a situation like that. As I'm around the same age as both Etsuko and Kyoko, it was easy to relate to both sides of their story, and although it was wrong of Shoichi to leave his wife to be with his terminally ill ex-girlfriend, it was understandable why he wanted to do all that he could to make her happy.

This is a dark story of a high school teacher who falls in love with one of his students. There are scenes that were hard for me to watch because it felt like I was prying into the secret lives of the people in this drama. Though this drama made me uneasy, fearful, and hateful at times, I thought it was well done. Fans of Nojima Shinji's screwed up stories will eat this one up.
Most noteworthy was Akai Hidekazu as Shinjou sensei. Though he seemed like a typical jock-turned-PE teacher, he proved to be a much more complex character by being a caring father and friend and also a protective teacher to the point where he got into trouble. |

Boy meets girl and falls in love. Problem is: the age gap is about 25 years and it's awkward to observe...at first. After a while, I found myself rooting for Chappy (the 60-year old man) and Kaede (the 35-year old woman) to get together.
The highlights for me were the songs in this drama. "Wasuremono" was a great theme song and "Psyche na Heart" was a catchy tune heard throughout this excellent series. | Musashi [æ¦è”µ]

I found this to be a very satisfying drama with the perfect blend of comedy and seriousness. It was really touching in some scenes as well. That's why I'm giving this drama a 9. |

This is a really great drama about friendship despite the difference in school status. Popular Shuji befriends not-so popular funny guy Akira and Kotani (Nobuta), a strange, withdrawn girl who gets picked on constantly by her classmates. The strong bond that they have between them starts off from Shuji and Akira deciding to be Nobuta's "producers" in order to make her popular. What started off as a game of sorts, results in a true friendship. | Nodame Cantabile [ã®ã ã‚　カンタビ−レ]

This is one bitchfest of a drama full of deceitful schemers who fight over the properties bequeathed by their deceased father and associate. Not only are the women evil, but most of the men are evil as well. Fumino (the mistress) seems to be the only sane character in the mix, but she also has a few things up her sleeve as well.
Recommended for those who need to take a break from silly happy dramas and want to see a dark drama with vindictive characters instead. |

Originally an ugly duckling, Honomi gets a full-body makeover including a new face, new chest and liposuction. Though her outward appearance has drastically changed, her brash attitude and immaturity still remained. But through a series of events (becoming a model, making friends, finding a love that's reciprocated), Honomi slowly grows up and becomes a pleasant, considerate woman who thinks of others instead of herself. Though predictable, this was a pretty good Cinderella story. |

A dark drama of a rivalry between sisters, each finding ways to make the other suffer. It's amusing to see Nagasaku Hiromi (ex-ribbon member) in such a role because she looks so innocent, and yet, is pursued by two men. Nakamura Tooru was cold, but dashing at times, and Abe Hiroshi was quite a dud back in the day.
Overall, it was a great drama, but a bit tedious to see the bitchiness go back and forth between sisters. Still, it was worth to see a drama full of popular actors. | Slow Dance [スãƒãƒ¼ãƒ€ãƒ³ã‚¹]

Part Majou no Jouken and part Shall We Dance, this drama is about falling in love with someone even though you are married. Only that someone just happens to be a dance instructor still in high school.
I understand why some people thought that this drama was immoral, but from a woman's point of view, I can see something like that happening, especially if life gets into a comfortable (albeit, boring) routine. When someone interesting pops into your life, it can suddenly get exciting, and though most people would choose not to do anything, there are some people who give in to temptation. This drama has a realistic approach to that scenario and I thought it was a good drama. | SP [エスピー]

I did not see the appeal of Fujiwara Norika's character nor could I understand why the (male) drama fans are obsessed with her. I just think she's average and not as appealing as everyone says. And her 80's looking clothes bothered me. Perhaps it was the trend at the time, but it looked really outdated. Mr. SMAP dude was his usual wooden-self and had no appeal, but maybe he just did what the director told him what to do.

I never expected this to be such a great dark drama. Tatsuya was deliciously manipulative, yet he had a vulnerable, human side as well. Eiko was sweet, innocent, yet strong and gains independence from her overbearing mother thanks to Tatsuya. The supporting characters were wonderful as well, especially Tamio, the scary maid at Eiko's household. | Taiyou no uta [タイヨã®ã†ãŸ]
