2001 no otoko un [2001年のおとこ運] This show is cute. [Rating: 6/10] This was the first time I watched Kanno Miho and Oshio Manabu. The chemistry between them (as friends) is quite good. Quite a fun drama! | 29-sai no Kurisumasu [29歳のクリスマス] Slow! [Rating: 4/10] I didn't like the ending. A bit too realistic. I think dramas should have some elements of dreaminess and fairy tale qualities. |
Ai wo kudasai [愛をください] Quite a dark drama [Rating: 5/10] I like the ending but the process was a bit draggy. Ito Hideaki had to act the role of the reserve player. So poor thing! | Cheap Love [チープラブ] Very Dark Movie [Rating: 4/10] Not for those who like good endings. |
Coach [コーチ] Quite interesting [Rating: 5/10] For Asano's & Tamaki's fans. This is an all's well that end's well kind of drama. | Days A Drama for Nagase's fans [Rating: 6/10] Similar to Haskusen Nagashi. Not bad value for money. |
Gakkou no sensei [ガッコの先生] Good Drama [Rating: 7/10] This is one of the better dramas from Tsuyoshi. Not dark and quite funny. Takeuchi's character is quite tom boy. Interesting to watch the little squibbling between her and Tsuyoshi. | Hakusen nagashi [白線流し] Slightly overated. [Rating: 5/10] Nagase was not too bad in this drama but I think this drama has been overated as it was a bit slow in the middle. For those who like high school drama. Not for those who like happy dramas. |
Hanayome wa 16-sai! [花嫁は16才!] Good Drama [Rating: 7/10] Good acting from Tomosaka and other casts. Especially from the little boy (Nakayama's youngest brother). Good Ending. | Handoku [ハンドク] Bad Ending [Rating: 5/10] Had a lot of expectations for this show but fell short of a lot people's expectations. Why is Nagase always acting like a gangster? Was he ever a gangster? He is more convincing as a gangster than a doctor! |
Hatachi no kekkon [20歳の結婚] A good, light hearted drama [Rating: 7/10] I enjoyed this drama more than most popular dramas. This should be one of Oshio Manabu's earlier performance. A bit raw but the chemistry is there between him & Yuka. It's fun with a lot of family squabbles. | Hikon Kazoku [非婚家族] Slow Drama [Rating: 4/10] Can give this drama a miss. It's quite slow at times. A bit draggy. I thought Yosuke would end up with one of the ladies but he ended up with none. |
Hoshi no kinka Season 2 / Zoku hoshi no kinka [續。星の金貨] Quite slow & Sad [Rating: 5/10] Only for Yutaka's fans. Quite weepy and draggy. Get to learn some sign language but other than that...not worth it. | Imagine [イマジン] A feel good movie [Rating: 7/10] I actually liked this drama although some might find it slow. The romance between Fukada and Nakamura is quite sweet. |
Imouto yo [妹よ] Only for Cinderella Die Hards [Rating: 4/10] Watchable but a bit too fairy tale! | Jinsei wa joujoda [人生は上々だ] Dark drama [Rating: 5/10] Similar to Gift. Only for Kimura's fans. A bit of gannster type of drama. |
Kabachitare! [カバチタレ!] A not too easy to understand drama [Rating: 4/10] Only for Takako's fans. Quite difficult to understand at times. But interesting to watch. Not the kind of drama that makes you sleep. | Kamisama no itazura [神様のいたずら] Not A Bad Show [Rating: 6/10] This drama is about a guy (Mizushima Kenzo acted by Kishitani Goro) who is working in a matchmaking agency. He reunites with his daughter (13 years old) whom he has not seen for more than 10 years. The lady, Hatsuki, has just been jilted by her boyfriend of 3 years. Her sister signs her up with the matchmaking agency one day after Hatsuki's breakup. Kenzo eventually matchmakes her with an eligible doctor but ends up liking her instead. Does Kenso end up with Hatsuki eventually? Watch the drama to find out......... |
Koi ga shitai Koi ga shitai Koi ga shitai [恋がしたい恋がしたい] Worthwhile Drama [Rating: 6/10] This drama is worth buying. Quite interesting to watch. Kanno Miho actually acts cute in this drama but it's not bad. The other cast's performance is quite good. | Koi no katamichi kippu Only worth watching for Goro [Rating: 5/10] The only thing worth watching is Goro. Esumi's performance is quite bland in this drama. Goro looks a bit like Aaron Kowok (the nerdy look) in this drama. Quite handsome. |
Koi wo nan nen sundemasu ka? Not a bad drama [Rating: 6/10] This drama is surprisingly quite interesting. Ito Hideaki gave quite a good performance in this drama. It was a new change to see young guy falling in love with an older woman. The ending gives you a feel good kind of feeling. | Konna koi no hanashi [こんな恋のはなし] The theme song is good. [Rating: 8/10] Won't regret watching this drama. Nanako's performance is good. First time watching Tamaki acting and thought his performance is good. |
Konya wa eigyouchu [今夜は営業中] Good Entertainment [Rating: 6/10] Kimura's performance in this show is hilarious. Good for laughs. | Love complex [ラブコンプレックス] Worst Drama of All Time!!!!!! [Rating: 1/10] This is definitely not for those who like normal dramas. Dramas should be light hearted and not so heavy handed. Must be one of Sorimachi's worst dramas. Better spend your money on other dramas! |
Love Story A must buy [Rating: 7/10] A good drama. But I agree with the above reviews.Not enough love scenes betwen Nakayama & Etsuhi. Shingo and Yuka are good in this drama also. | Messengers [メッセンジャー] Fantastic Movie!!!! [Rating: 8/10] Very Funny and it's good entertainment. Very good performance from Kusanagi and Ijima. Must watch for everybody!!! |
Miseinen [未成年] Quite a dark drama [Rating: 4/10] Something like the Japanese version of Stand By Me. Shingo's performance of a low IQ boy is good. A bit gangster type of drama. What do you expect from Sorimachi? A surprising appearnce by Hamazaki Ayumi. She acts as a teen who gets pregnant. Rare sight!!! | Mouichido kisu [もう一度キス] Slowest Movie of all time!!!!!!! [Rating: 1/10] A good performance from the Korean girl (same as the one from Fighting Girl). BUT.......please give it a miss and spend your money on other better dramas. |
Mukodono! [ムコ殿/女婿大人] MUST WATCH!!!!! [Rating: 10/10] I have watched and re-watched this drama many times. Good beginning good ending. Just a bit sad towards the middle and just before the ending. Be prepared to laugh a lot. Many touching scenes. Best performance from Nagase. Started to like him after watching this drama! | Narita Rikon [成田離婚] A lot of quarrelling!!! [Rating: 3/10] Too much quarreling in this drama. The couple are seen quarreling from the start to the end of the drama. How frustrating! |
Oda Nobunaga [織田信長] Good performance from Takuya [Rating: 8/10] This is my first time watching Takuya in period costume. Good performance! Should watch! Not draggy at all. | Oishii Kankei [おいしい關係] Good Drama! [Rating: 7/10] Good chemistry between Karasawa & Nakayama. For those who like good endings. |
Omiai kekkon [お見合い結婚] Slow Drama [Rating: 3/10] Give it a miss. No chemistry between Takako & Yusuke at all. | P.S. Genki desu, Shunpei [P.S.元気です、俊平] Sweet Drama [Rating: 6/10] Not a bad drama but a sad ending. Why? |
Psychometrer eiji Season 2 Not a bad drama [Rating: 6/10] I get to watch Mrs. Kimura Takuya (Shizuka Kudo) for the first time. I think Matsuoka is quite cool in this drama. Quite interesting to watch. | Risou no kekkon [理想の結婚] Good Chemistry! [Rating: 7/10] I liked watching Yutaka and Takako in this drama. Their families are at loggerheads throughout the whole drama but they get to live happily ever after. |
Rocket boy [ロケット・ボーイ] Can give this a miss! [Rating: 4/10] A bit nonsensical. I think Oda Yuji is a bit too old to act cute. | Saigo no koi [最後の恋] Sad but good ending [Rating: 6/10] Not too bad. Good performance from Takako but a bit sad in the middle. |
Saotome Typhoon Only for Beach Lovers [Rating: 3/10] This show is definitely only for beach lovers. The whole drama evolves around the beach and about Nato (a kind of Japanese bean). Better to spend your money on other dramas. | Sayonara, Ozu Sensei [さよなら、小津先生] Quite interesting but a bit slow [Rating: 5/10] Not too bad for a high school drama. Good performance from the kids. For those who like basketball and watching Tamura. |
Seija no koushin [聖者の行進] Not your normal cup of tea [Rating: 4/10] Quite a dark drama. A bit like Miseinen. Not the main stream kind of drama. Not for those who like happy shows. | Seikimatsu no uta [世紀末の詩] HUH????? [Rating: 2/10] I never knew what went on in this drama. This is also one of the non mainstream dramas. Please watch it if you like Love Complex. |
Shiroi kage [白い影] Touching drama [Rating: 7/10] A bit slow but it's a good drama. Enjoyed watching Nakai & Takeuchi. However, the ending is very sad. | Straight news [ストレートニュース] Not too bad [Rating: 5/10] This drama is quite serious unlike Female announcer. It also stars Yonekura Ryoko. This drama features some unkowns but their performance is not bad. |
Style! [スタイル!] Give this a miss [Rating: 1/10] It's a bit like the British comedy May I serve you? It's about life in a department store. Its stars Motoki Masahiro and Takeuchi Yuko. Motoki heads a personal shopper's department. This department recommends shopper's what to wear at no extra charge. Some touching stories but too draggy. No romantic links in this drama. Makes it worse. | Taburoido [タブロイド] Can give it a miss [Rating: 4/10] All quite famous cast - Tokiwa, Tomosaka and Kashiwabara. But the storyline is a let down. Could have been more interesting if there were more romantic involvement. |
Tokyo daigaku monogatari Young Love [Rating: 6/10] Typical guy meets girl. Guy is head over heels with girl but unsure whether feeling is mutual. They all strive to study hard so as to get into the Prestigious Tokyo University. Viewers get to see a very young Takenouchi Yutaka (quite a funny sight). | Yome wa mitsuboshi [嫁はミツボシ] Quite a funny drama [Rating: 5/10] Quite a funny drama but what a sad ending. Why couldn't Yoshino end up with Morita. That would be quite interesting. A bit like Majo no Jouken. Ha Ha! |
