Koi ni Ochitara is a good show... SMAP guy surprised me with his performance.

To a point, I agree with you about  "Tokyo Love Story".  I found most of the characters  annoying, and the plot points frustrating.  But the ending was the final straw.  It just ticked me off.
 
Popular as it was (and boy was it popular) the whole show left a bad taste in my mouth.
 
Fortunately for me I'd seen Suzuki and Oda in other shows that I'd really liked before I saw "TLS".  So that one show didn't have much of an affect on how I felt about them.
 
Oh, and I agree with  Beemer.  "Koi ni Ochitara" was a fun show.

If not liking a show that other people say is terrific makes you an Ugly Duckling then I'm gonna have to lock myself in the basement and turn off all the lights. _________________ Manga is to Literature

I really enjoyed that one too.  This was one of my first Matsu Takako dramas and it made me a fan of hers, especially as a singer.  The supporting cast were great, but my favorite is Imai Masayuki, although Kubozuka is a close second.

I feel you on the Oda Yuji dislike.  The only drama I liked him in was Odoru Daisousasen.  Everything else either sucked or he did.

This was my first Suzuki drama (I think) and she really annoyed me in it, but after watching Kono Yo no Hate, I realized what a wonderful actress she is. _________________

re: Suzuki.  I haven't watched "Kono Yo no Hate" yet.  Seems a bit depressing.
 
But if you like Suzuki be sure to watch "New no Onna" and "Souri to Yobane de".  It'll give you an idea of just how broad a really good actress's range is. _________________ Manga is to Literature

Kono Yo no Hate was THE most depressing Jdramas I've ever seen.  I was depressed for several days after watching it.  But at the same time, I really enjoyed it.
 
 
I have News no Onna (have to convert them to DVD), but not Souri to Yobanaide.  I'm going to try getting that series in another trade.  Thanks for the rec.
