Beautiful Rain [ビューティフルレイン] Well-handled treatment of Alzheimer's. The interplay between the characters was believable & key to the story. Incredible bond between father & daughter.
Fuyu no Sakura [冬のサクラ] The well written story made it a believable, if not predictable, drama. Enjoyed this one.
Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Even though the outcome was a given, this was a beautiful drama. Excellent story & the cast did a good job!
Boku to Star no 99 Nichi [僕とスターの99日] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) This drama was just above average: the story was so-so, although I liked the beginning. The supporting cast saved it from being a 5. My favorite 'star/salaryman' drama remains Star no Koi.
Dinner Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Good ensemble drama. Great job by the cast. The last scene with Eguchi's Ezaki was wonderful! Would love to see a special.
Mother Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Will continue to recommend this drama to my friends.
Nagareboshi [流れ星] Rating: 10/10 (Bought) Originally wanted to watch this because Takenouchi's the lead, but loved how the story developed. I couldn't wait to see what Goro's character would do next: he was SO convincing!
Star no Koi [スタアの恋] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) I watched it because it was supposed to be similar to NOTTING HILL. But then Kusanagi's character drew me into the story. VERY GOOD drama!
Marumo no Okite [マルモのおきて] Heartwarming Family Drama [Rating: 8/10] Very good drama! I started watching this because I'd just watched Ashida Mana in MOTHER & wanted to see this talented young actress again. She may have been why I started to watch this, but it was the writing and the cast (Mook too!) who kept me coming back for each episode. This was an enjoyable drama to watch from start to finish.
Star no Koi [スタアの恋] Good, good drama! [Rating: 9/10] I loved how the story/romance developed and how the characters, especially Nakata's office mates, interact with each other.
This was my first Tsuyo-chan drama & I've been hooked on his acting ever since.
