A pretty straightforward drama with no surprises or twists. But what I like about this drama is the realistic plot it has. It feels like an life-story that would happen to anyone around yourself. Didn't quite felt the struggle the female protagonist had & too much was focused on the treatment etc. It needs to have a little more dramatical elements. | Ace wo Nerae! [エースをãらãˆ!]

Thought that this drama is kinda under-rated. The story plot's not too bad...except for the unattractive male lead, so to say. Quite a heart-warming family-themed drama. Sadly, they really picked the wrong male lead. He looks too old to be a father of 3 young kids & for Miho to fall for him. Nonetheless, this drama is enjoyable. | Aikurushii [ã‚ã„ãã‚‹ã—ã„]

I've always enjoyed family-based Jdoramas. The Japanese producers are really good at winning tears from the audience. The values potrayed in the drama are simple yet meaningful. Excellent performances by the young actors & actresses. They really touched me. And Uta-chan is so cute!!!!!! I would want a daughter like her...hahaha! A nice & heart-warming drama. Highly-recommended! | Anego [ã‚¢ãƒã‚´]

What happens when you are over 30 years old & unmarried? Moreover, not attached & stucked in a working world of the men. This drama truly reflects the status of women in the society of Japan. A woman's happiness is to quit her job, get married & stay at home for good. Anego - Japanese for big sister. That's what 32 year old Naoko-san is known as among her peers. She's like a big sister to all in the company, providing her fellow colleagues a shoulder to cry on & a person to pour your woes to. So who does she turn to when she has troubles? Another excellent performance by Shinohara Ryoko. She brought out the exasperation of a 32-year-old single woman seeing her fellow comrades get married after one another. Dislike the plot where they made Ryoko fall in love with a junior colleague who's 11 years younger than her. Too over done. Like the idea of having Naoko-san "talking" to the audience at the start of each episode. Especially like the scene where all the female workers sent Naoko-san off on her last day of work. Girl power rules! |

This is the 2nd sport Jdorama I've watched & I must say it's better than Ace wo Nerae. Because of the same actresses in both shows, (Ueto Aya & Sakai Ayana) I couldn't stop comparing the 2 dramas & the plot. Thank godness there weren't too much similarities except for the usual fight-on-even-though-you-are-going-through-hell-in-the-training spirit that's hovering around all characters. But of course, there're bound to be cliches in such dramas & no matter what, you know for sure the team's gonna win & everything will go alright.

He is so nerdy but cute at the same time. Got kinda irritated at the overly long scenes where the BBS participants chat & give their support & encouragement for Densha.

I thought it was one of those typical school-themed dramas again, but I was wrong! This drama's not about rebellious students (although somewhere near), but on a lawyer's attempt to bring 6 students from one of Japan's lousiest high school to Japan's top university - Todai. The drama went into details about Todai's entry requirements, exam tactics etc. Ahhh! It makes me wanna go back to school all over again! | Egao no Hosoku [笑顔ã®æ³•å‰‡]

"Jiro! Jiro!", that's how the kids call out to Takuya in the show. Extremely love the role Takuya plays. You can sense the seriousness in him, though he appears nonchalant. He has got his gentle side, although he looks tough all the time. From hating kids to giving up his lifetime dream & career for them in the end, this drama is no anywhere near the tough boy racing show that of Initial D. It is instead, heart-warming - like a cup of hot chocolate taken on a balmy rainy evening. |

There was not a single episode that I did not shed a tear. Like the little snippets of quotes from the real Aya & photos of her showed how strong she was struggling to live on despite her illness. This drama also has a superb theme song which is very aptly named - Only Human. We are all only human & precisely because we are human, we live strong & on.

Another breathe-taking crime thriller. I've always like Japanese crime thrillers & suspense dramas. They never fail to hook me. Same goes for Kao. Like the exploration of different cases in each episode it makes the whole drama easier to digest & anyone can just pick up the plot even if he/she watches it half-way through. Especially like it when Shishima tells Mizuho not to snatch his words before he can start saying them. And Mizuho will always reply "Ok!" with an earnest look on her face. |

This drama took my breathe away. Though many may think the whole drama's just dwelling upon one theme - the will left behind by the late father, I think it brought out all that bitterness, selfishness & evil that live in everyone. Like Yonekura Ryoko's strong character in the show. She really shone. Money is not the root of all evil, human beings are. | Okusama wa Majo [奥ã•ã¾ã¯é”女]

Interesting relationship between Kimura Takuya and Takeuchi Yuko. Although it's expected that they'll end up together for sure. Love the way Kimura says "Maybe?" Drop-dead gorgeous! I love the theme song too! | Primadam [プリマダム]

Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
I was so wrong to think Rikon Bengoshi II is one of those heavy-themed & slow-paced drama. It's entirely the opposite! This drama is so funny! Unexpectedly funny. Especially love the gangster restaurant owner. Takako sensei herself is a funny character too. Her cold & strong exterior vs her funny antics at certain scenes. I love her to bits! | Rookie!

Simple story about a small & simple-minded island & its people, yet full of complicated struggles in life. Never knew such problems exist in a wealthy country like Japan (well, maybe it's fictional to a certain extent). A nice look into island life & not forgetting the beautiful sea & back to basics lifestyle. |

Shiawase ni Naritai [幸ã›ã«ãªã‚ŠãŸã„]
Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched)
A rather bland drama with no surprises. A typical act-cute role by Fukada Kyoko, not much of acting skills performed by her. A nice look into Japan's TV production system, and how as usual, woman over the age of 30, unmarried, suffers as they become chess of male bosses who're obviously more useless. Unless you're a Fudaka Kyoko fan, this drama can be missed. | Shiroi Kyoto [白ã„巨塔]

outstanding plot with excellent performance by the actors/actresses. but i sure hope the medical sector is not as horrible & corrupted as depicted in the drama. | Shomuni [ショムニ]

The drama fully depicts the sorrow of working in a big organisation. Very witty storyline. |

OMG! I simply love this drama! Another than drooling over dear Satoshi, I like this drama for its simple yet rich plot. It brought out the complications of love between a man & a woman & the subtle relationships between the characters in the drama. Taking things slowly will somehow let you see the beauty you've once missed & a second look at things which you once thought were right. Its OST is not to be missed as well. | Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni... [ãã‚Œã¯ã€çªç„¶ã€åµã®ã‚ˆã†ã«â€¦]

Japanese thriller/suspense dramas never fail to surprise me. Yet another crime thriller that left me sitting on the edge of the seat. My only disappointment was the complicated ending. Somehow, it's not convincing enough. The twists & surprises in the plot were very, very, very well done. | Umizaru [海猿]
Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched)
I was still contemplating if I should watch this drama. Since I watched the movie already, I thought it would be a rather similar plot. When I finally finished the series, I'm glad I didn't miss this good drama. It brought out the strong bonding between the umizarus, their struggles with family life & their spouse. The sacrifices they make, and the earning of understanding from the people around them. I was quite put off by the not-here-not-there relationship Daisuke & Kanna had though. And this drama has got hell alot of butt scenes. Hahahaha! | Unfair [アンフェア]
Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
This drama I've been waiting for lives up to my expectations! In fact, it went beyond! Excellent plot with a totally unexpected ending. Superb acting by Shinohara Ryoko. Japan crime thrillers never ever fail me! This is a must-watch. Thumbs-up! <3 |

Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
This drama's story plot only deserves 5 points. A very typical story about a stubborn dad who refuses to let his daughter get married until he thinks it's the right time for her to do so. Especially like the way Nagatsuka Kyozo (Akiko's dad) shouts at his subordinates. He's fierce in a cute manner. Not much of a performance by Oshio Manabu. Akiko & Oshio don't behave like a couple who're about to get married. I think Akiko's love for her father is stronger than that of to Oshio's. Since the plot only got 5 points, the remaining 5 points that gave this drama full marks is of course, kawaii Akiko-chan! She looks extremely cute in her nurse uniform. This drama's highly recommended for Akiko fans! | |
