yeah, i'd sub it if my chinese skills were slightly better and if the timing for the rmvb is the same as the raw if it were out with french subs i wouldn't mind subbing, since dragon sakura seems to have turned out all right

Oh yeah... I remember seeing Shindou in the credits. I didn't know it was you. Thank you.

Tamaki Hiroshi was really hilarious and cute in Episode 3! Another enjoyable episode. It seems everyone is warming to Haruka now.

Next week the focus turns to Nao Matsushima's character.

This is turning into a "formula" drama. New scoop every week that gets resolved at the end. I like dramas where the plot carrys over from one episode to the next. And is it just me, or is Akiko Yada starting to play the same character from one drama to the next.

I thought this drama turned out to be same as Hero and that Akiko's character was somewhat the same as her's in Last Christmas.

I don't mind if this one doesn't get subbed.
Its fun and does have its good moments.
I like how most of the cast members I've seen from Last X-mas and other dramas

Episode 4 had its hilarious moments though the storyline seems rather lacklustre, or should I say I can't really get where its going from here, like its drifting along. A pity since it has a great cast. Yuki Amami is really good here.

Hopefully things will get better although it has been formulaic so far.

theey are showing this on KTSF where i live. Too bad i can't understand it

[jep]

I also see this drama now. I find it not bad only. But I kinda like the main lead trying to cover up tat she's only interested in getting top news rather than humanity.

Any news on who will pick up the subbing of this jdorama?

i thought they decided not to sub this series, unless there is new info on someone subbing it now?

I was goin' to ask about subs too, but guess I won't see them anytime soon I only got this drama b/c I saw Tamaki on Waratte Iitomo and thought he was hot XD Haven't even watched it yet (b/c I was hoping for subs ^^; )

Yeah, I was really disappointed in this, when I saw Amami and Yada were both going to be in it, I was really excited, but it turned out to be pretty average.

I see. So all this time I was waiting for nothing. I guess I should start watching this one now knowing that no softsubs is gonna be made for this drama.

Yuki Amami was the only reason I stuck around. By focusing on Amami's and Yada's characters, and having shallow, stereotypical characterisations for the rest of the cast (what did they do to Tamaki Hiroshi!!!!???!!!), Top Caster ended up doing itself in.

I thought the scriptwriters managed to salvage it a little in the last two episodes when the scandal erupted but other than that it was a rather mediocre outing when there was so much potential for it to be better. There seemed to be a lack of focus as well as a absense of urgency, excitement and some sense of competition that should come along with the scoops.
