I think she's really pretty with very unique features...

i;ve seen quite a few of her dramas and she's really good in acting...

It looks like Misaki has been cast in the lead female role in the upcoming live-action Maison Ikkoku.

hmm, is it just me or does Ito Misaki seem to play the same types of roles? No question about her prettiness but it seems from the doramas I've seen with her in it: Hotman 2, Tiger & Dragon, Densha Otoko, Gokusen all seem to cast her in the same light

i might actually get Sapuri, i know i know - older woman/younger man again, probably gonna be disappointed again but i'm curious to see how she handles that type of role given that Shinohara Ryoko and Koyuki both shone in Anego and Kimi wa Petto respectively

go for it...but i do remember reading frequent criticism of her acting by those who have seen it...so be prepared!

hehe, i'll keep that in mind. i still have quite a large number of doramas i've collected that i haven't watched yet (as you may have noticed from the blank reviews under my doramas ) so sapuri will likely not be that high up on my to-watch list should i get it

the large cache of doramas that remain unwatched is definitely not something limited to you....i can't watch them so quickly anymore...because the quality is not uniformly exceptional....as with anything...truthfully, i think i've seen most of the best ones already....alot of the new stuff is ho hum.

producers have turned doramas into vehicles for young stars often times to the detriment of substance

yes, that thought is rather depressing

i mean when you look at some of the older doramas...you don't see so many young actors/actresses...at least not they don't seem so young, or perhaps it's because they had more mature roles.

Hey all....

Itoh Misaki appears to be a really popular actress. (I mean she is somewhat up there in the top 50.) But her thread doesn't seem that popular. As her fans, we should do something about that!

I became a fan of hers after watching Densha Otoko. She was awesome as Hermes-san. There's not a lot of info on her. Anyone know anything interesting about her?

I finished watching Sapuri! I recommend you all watch it. She did a grand job!

Yea, at the beginning I was ultra annoyed with him, wanted to smash his slobbery face in the nearest wall, but then get used and somehow managed to finish this dorama. Storyline is really good and the Darth Vader theme is absolute killer .

Now, now...lets be nice! But I have to agree with you! A funny, and truthful way to put your "distaste"! And the Darth Vader theme was sooo funny! It really added to the drama!
Probably wrong section to be talking about this stuff though!

no malice intended....i loved densha otoko and the pairing of densha & hermes...but i must agree the whiny character of densha takes a bit of getting used to....

Yes! I know what you mean! I think anyone who has seen Densha knows what you mean!

BUT....Itoh Misaki makes up for his whimpy character! <----like my leeway back to the topic?

Definately! That's the drama that got me hooked!

Hey all....

Have you heard? Misaki is going to be starring in a new drama next year called Maison Ikkoku. Apparently it's based on a manga! Misaki will star as Kyoko. Looking forward to this one!

I was just wondering....is it true that her nose is really fake? lol
