I haven't watched this for the longest time. But since I'm getting my husband into J-dorama etc. etc. it's not a bad thing to rewatch again.

DO IT! I watched it a second time with my cousin not too long ago. I had forgotten just how grand this drama was. I'm sure it'll hook your hubs... unless o'course he hates hockey. I find that's a turnoff for some people...

Wynter <--- Canadian, so I have no probs there.

Since it's not about golf, I thought it would be a complete turnoff. Was I ever wrong. The hockey portion is so minimal that it's almost in the background. Even little as it was I began to get a little enjoyment for the sport because of the power of the story. I've watched it 3 times now and have added the ending to my great endings compilation. Every one should make one so you can just spend a couple of hours watching those endings that are so memorable one after the other. Yippee.

Yup! Tho I have to admit, I

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

didn't like at all that Aki had to wait another two years to be with him. The thought of the female always hanging on annoyed me, even tho I understood the significance of it. I mean, Halu had to leave in order to find himself and mature into the man he was meant to be. Only then could he fully give his all to Aki and their love/relationship.

I DO think it's one of the best love stories of all time... at least in the way it was handled. It was nicely placed and the love grew into being, instead of being slapped into place. You can actually see it grow, which is really hard to do!

Yea, there hardly was any hockey in the show. And the hockey that was shown really sucks, or so says my brother, who plays hockey. My brother was wondering how

how Halu ever made it into the NHL when he played like that.

Even though I told him that was not the point of the story, he didn't listen. But I don't really care because the story was very compelling.

One of my favorite KimuTaku dramas.

I think this was the first Kimura drama that I have watched. So go figure. My allegiance is to Yuko and Kimura.

I think that the hockey stuff is just a backdrop for the romance between Aki and Halu. LOL I don't watch hockey normally, but I didn't hate it so it was pretty cool to watch a bit of it, I guess.

This was the first Kimura drama that I watched too. I luved it! Yuko and Kimura make such a cute couple! Did they star in any other drama together?

I don't think so, but they're planning to reteam them again.

Same! Tho my brother says he loves the kimura and kou pairing now that he's watching Good Luck. I don't think my preference will change tho. I tend to stay loyal to my likes.

ahhh!!! maji? I never really liked the kimura-kou tandem or the kimura-koyuki tandem... that's just my preference though

Kimura hardly starred with an actress twice..the one whom I know would be Matsu Takako, Hero and Love Generation.

Anyways back to this, I would love to watch another time apart from Love Generation.

Matsu was with Takuya in Long Vacation, Love Generation, Hero and the Hero SP and hopefully Hero Movie.

There is also Inamori Izumi who was with him in Long Vacation and now Karei-naru Ichizoku ... But she isn't a lead role (for now..)

kimura's been in two dramas with kou shibasaki. the first one was Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi. then there was good luck.

he also acted with fukatsu eri twice. first time was chuushingura 1/47 and the second time was Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi.

not really a starring role but koyuki did play his ex-girlfriend in beautiful life and then acted with him again in engine.

but matsu takako really takes the cake in number of dramas with kimura. there's actually 3 more dramas she's acted in besides the ones listed already. the first one was in a smap drama sp called Boku ga boku de aru tame ni, then chuushingura 1/47, and a drama sp called Konya wa eigyouchu

i wish he would collaborate with yuko takeuchi again though

"I was born to love you" is by Queen. You can hear it on 'my space' link below the 2nd song in my list.
