raise hand, question: Isn't Beginner multi-leads? Think the producer said all 8 ppl in the cast were leads? Not only Joe & Mimura
dun think all 8 of them r leads.. judging frm the amt of lines each of them has (esp Take & the old man (sorree, cant rem his name )) when i was watching Beginner, the impression tat i had is the lead is Mimura, judging frm the amt of lines & the role of Kaede in the drama. Only until Drama Academy tat i realised tat Joe is also the lead
but hoh... Tsuyoshi may hve contributed more than 80% of KoiOchi's ratings
argh.. i still wan to see him as a lead in a drama leh.. getting sick of his cameo appearance in KoiOchi

u might be rite; the whole script of Beginner did seem to be developed around Kaeda...
yaloh, Tsuyoshi is definitely the reason, but for us lot here; Shin chan has to be the focus
I am v. content with the finale; not that becoz it's believable, but becoz there are LOTS of Shin chan

yes yes yes.. theres lots of Shin chan in the last episode
& think his performance is
MINI SPOILER FOR KOI OCHI FINALE
.
.
.
i like the part at the bench, where he sat soooooo closely to Nanami & finally, Nanami put her head on his shoulder.. its very subtle but yet, its soooooo sweet
.
.
.
END SPOILER
btw, been watching Clip again (most parts lah coz fell asleep in the later half of 1st disc )
this is wat i understand abt the story~
at the courtyard in the beginning, where Rufas was holding on to some Clark Gabriel photo & he mentioned the handbag... tats is supposed to be the handbag of the lady boss whom Pipi tries to impersonate in the 2nd half of the story. I dunno where Erendira gets the bag & how is Erendira related to Saruma
Rufas then called the real lady boss abt the lost handbag & probably try to get some money off her?
rem the part where Naifu has his leak? & Pipi walk pass, think they r talking abt their scam.. abt her impersonation of the lady boss coz Naifu mentioned something abt Rufas calling the real lady boss.. but the strange thing is, when Pipi looked into the mansion, she suddenly decide to quit until Naifu offered her a high enuff price, then only she agreed..
When she reached the mansion & saw Erendira, she thot Erendira is Saruma... m quite sure tat Pipi all long, thot Erendira is Saruma
& when Pipi arrived, think she secretly kept the diary which Rufas is supposed to return her. This way she's able to threaten Rufas to perhaps compensate her for losing her diary, perhaps this is the scam?
.. so, tat point in time, Rufas & Erendira were discussing in the courtyard how to deal with this problem...
this is the scene where Erendira starts to cry when Rufas told her abt the story of Dona
abt tat scene, this is wat i gathered...
1st he asked her wat she thinks of some photo? whether tat photo looks like a happy family?
Erendira hesitated & Rufas was suspicious for a while coz he said tat anyone who looked at tat photo will think of a happy family. Then he went on & told her tat his mom was not in the photo, instead the lady in the pic wass his dad's lover.
Then he went on & told Erendira abt Dona being said to hve killed her dad & lover. He said his mom told him tat his dad died not coz of murder but sth else. But he said he knew tat this was not the truth.
Think he said tat he then asked Dona abt this & Dona asked him wat does he think. Then Rufas told Erendira tat he believed tat Dona is innocent, he believed his sis.
If i rem correctly, think he said tat he believed tat its his mom tat killed his dad & his lover. He continued to say tat tat's why Dona was married to Naifu, who is the son of the lawyer who defended Dona, think its some kind of deal.
Think its at this point tat Erendira starts crying but denied when Rufas asked her. She said tat its coz of the rain, not tears.
At the same time, for some reason, Naifu decided to ask Pipi to stop the scam. Think at tat point in time, Gara is suffering frm some mysterious headache.
Think the play did sort of give indication tat Naifu still luvs Dona? He married Dona not coz he's asked to, instead its coz he loved her.
Nearer to the end, the policeman decide to go down to the basement & chk out the body tat tat Doctor was talking abt. At tat point in time, Pipi flipped thru the policeman wallet & realised tat he's a policeman. So, she decided to leave. B4 she can leave, suddenly the stage goes all crazy & they she said if its coz Saruma is angry..
i suspect the body in the basement belong to Saruma coz at the last scene, think the policeman said tat Erendira locked tat whoever in the basement & let her starved to death? then it cant be their mom, coz think Rufas poisoned her...
btw, Naifu went to visit Rufas to build a grave for Dona? but think Rufas still believes tat his sis is alive & thus, didnt want to hve a grave for her.

that scene is by far the best visual expression of Nanami's feelings & support for Toru; always by his side, yet not nagging, but understanding, patient & lovingly care for him....ahhhh, I LUV that scene.
I LUV Shin chan in the finale; this is the best performance he has delivered in the series...so many facets of Toru's personality & Shin chan is capable of capturing each & every move with military precision! Always expressive, yet he never overcooks it! Ahhh....sugoiii
Gals, I think he's forever our No. 1 MAN
nikyy-sama U have understood this much; I usu. give up after the backturn & switch immediately to the last scene . Just reading the way you describe the action is taihen & thanks for writing out these signposts for this directionless play

i also happen to like the Toru vs Mariko scene
& yes, the restaurant scene with Sakuraba
actually, i was quite when Toru got angry ..
but hve to admit tat i dunno wats the project abt , some security thing, i gathered... too lazy to read the blog tonite
nonetheless, tat part definitely remind me of the "Yoshitake scold client" scene in KoiChikara
& the phone call part reminds me of enpitsu nezumi miracle

nod, very Koi NO feel & manga-like tale, that Bright Light miracle is just too good to be true liao...but we can't think too much of its plot.
I also like the tadaima scene where Toru chan said that to Toyota, Toru chan is completely transformed
Also like that Toru told Sakuraba off scene Shin chan really shows Toru with lots of guts!
When Toru gets angry & shouts at that poor guy, he seems to have tears in his eyes?

hehe.. there's enuff of expressive Toru chan to keep my mind off the script in ep 11
yaloh, its the 1st time i see Toru chan soooooo worked up & agitated .. normally he's pretty cool & calm
well, its his beloved Shimao being hammered mah
soreeee..forgot wat u asked me just now liao
maybe can answer u tom after i read the blog
argh... i m going to miss Toru chan...

yayaya, 100% correct...
I esp luv Nanami's line (I think this is what she said, dun me if I am wrong ah); in the wedding reception, i think Mariko asks what will happen to Nanami & Toru & Nanami says "well, let's leave it to (your) imagination" (?)
I got so fixated in that shoulder scene; but does it remind you of Koda vs Noriko (where to go for vacation scene) in GL?

Ok, need to dive a little. Ganbatte kudasai
hmmmm... Koda vs Noriko, u r rite
but this one is much much more subtle -> only action & not a single word uttered
i was when i saw Kamiya & Miyazawa's hairstyle in the last scene (plus tat dreamy touch )

hi, plumpymomo, I am just being curious: how big are Japanese dramas in Thailand? Are there huge followings? [/quote]
Hi! dorama
Sorry for reply so late . I'm very busy during this week la.
There are big fans of Japanese dramas in Thailand (BUT it seems Korean dramas' fans are much more now Even though Shin-chan is not the most popular Japanese actor in Thailand but I think he is well-known from Yamato Nadeshiko and Good Luck!. In GL, my sister begins to like him more than KIMUTAKU. Ahhh! I will go to Japan Foundation today. Hope to find Shin-chan film there la

ya, just the shoulder to shoulder thing
I was not only but actually when I saw their hairstyles!
yayaya, that dreamy tint on the screen
But Toru doesn't change his hairstyle?! Even Nanami seemed to have hers a little
Actually there are quite a few funny moments in this finale. Miyazawa & Kamiya are some clowns. Rem how they screwed up Shimao & Kaori's first kiss?
& Ryuta, when he first met Fujiki, the black tower, in that Japanese eaterie? He went all drooling & tongue-tied & Mariko kept her eyes on him tightly
& of course, Toru! when they returned to their office after Toru went all crazy & angry, Kamiya asked why he lost his temper (?), he said "gomen" so softly & nodded, just like a kid asking to be forgiven
& that long "Hai" when Shimao told him that he needed to work hard also!
Geeez, I think just this epi, it's enuff to award our Shin chan some Drama Academy awards liao
I miss Shin chan already

wow, Korean dramas seem to have defeated all! So Yamato & GL have been shown in Thailand!

yayaya...
& the last scene... Toyoda is the one who's gotten tat bouquet of flowers (wat is tat called?)
& yes, i luv tat "Hai~"
also, after he apologised & Shimao revealed tat Toru lost his temper at Miyazawa co, he tried to hide his embarrassment by turning his back towards everyone else
rem his expression of "i cant believe wat i did " in the bus after he gave at whoever a piece of his mind? its soooo funny
but hoh... Shimao's stare at Toru in tat scene is ahem.. kinda
the last scene?
think the employee told Toru tat Suzuki Neji has lodged a patent application for a new OS for mobile (think its mobile phone OS or palm OS, sth like dat lah..)
then Toru told his staff to watch Suzuki Neji's every movt & do not think lightly of Suzuki Neji's ability...
