Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Not a bad drama. Definitely not overrated. No tears shed, but I totally felt for the female lead. Kimura did a fine job. Leaves me feeling the same as I did after watching koukou kyoushi 2003. Defintely worth watching. | D&D (dangerous angel x death hunter) Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Still Watching | Friends [フレンズ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Even though this was only 4 eps. it took me a while to finish it. Sort of a like a movie that's too long. Anyway, I like it. Nothing special. |
Golden Bowl [ゴールデンボウル] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Not bad. A light-hearted drama. I just didn't get the romance between takeshi and the female lead. Oh well, he wasn't bad to look at so I'll let that go. The bowling games at the end of each eps. were repetitive, but the interested opponents kept me watching. | GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 5/10 It's totally overrated. I just got bored. It was a chore to watch the whole thing, but I did, so I'm very proud of myself. Now I just have to watch the special when I have absolutely nothing to do. Gave it a 5 because Takashi isn't so bad to look at. And Kobozuka Yosuke definitely boosted it up a few points. ^^ | Hakusen nagashi [白線流し] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Still Watching |
Hakusen Nagashi~Yume miro goro sugitemo Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Still Watching | Handoku [ハンドク] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Ok, the 6 points are all for Nagase really. If he wasn't in this, I'd give it a 1 just for the sake of giving it a rating. Gosh, the directing style was freaking, and all the characters were freaky. And wtf my Nagase DIED in the end??!!! Unforgiveable. The director tried to make it funny, but I just don't get his weird sense of humor. -.- | Kamisama mou sukoshi dake [神様、もう少しだけ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Finished 11/11/05 |
Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003 [高校教師 2003] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) I love this drama. All the characters are so mysterious, yet are portrayed with such depth. It's the first time I can pity, hate, and love a character all at once. Watch this. Highly reccommended. Besides, Fujiki Naohito is hot as hell ^^ | Long vacation [ロングバケーション] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Another overrated drama. It was a chore to finish the whole thing. Gave it a 5 because Yamaguchi Tomoko did a good job on this. Kimura was just playing his usual character. | Love and Eros [ラブとエロス] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) First of all, just let me say that I love every one of the characters in this series. Second, this is Nagase's most seductive role ever, and of course, just watching him in here is enough. Third, it's not ask dark as others have written. The relationship between 2 brothers who help each other. One, an orphan driven by angst and loneliness, and the other, revolving his life around one woman. The ending was sad bur fulfulling. Definitely worth watching. |
Mukodono! [ムコ殿/女婿大人] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) This is the 2nd jdrama that I watched. The only jdrama that made me cry. Although the plot gets tedious at times, Tomoya Nagase totally makes up for it. His role as Sakuraba Yuichiro was spotless, and it helps that he's the hottest man in the world ^^ | Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Kinda draggy, but loved the ending. | Otouto [弟] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Gosh, this drama. I watched it for Tomoya. He played one of 2 brothers, and I was so relieved to see that the other (played by Ikeda Tsutomu I think) is nearly as hot. Let me tell you, the people in this drama are very nice to look at, and except for nanakama yukie they can all act. It changed my mind about Kaito Ai, again playing opposite Nagase. I stopped watching after eps. 4 though because all the characters turned old. I enjoyed eps. 3-4 though...all that eyecandy ^^ |
Ring: Saishusho [リング 最終章] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Wow, an absolute thriller. This kept me on the cliff every episode. The lead isn't much of an eyecandy, but he's a good actor. Tomoya Nagase is just oh so hot as always <3. Dropped 2 points because Kyono Kotomi was too annoying, and Tomoya didn't have enough scenes ^^ | Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi [空から降る一億の星] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) My first jdrama ever ^^ It was drastically different from the hk and kdramas that I was used to, but I enjoyed it. It's a dark drama. Kimura played is usual self, but it fit this role. Over all nice plot, and killer ending. mwhaha. The cast was well chosen. | Strawberry on the shortcake [ストロベリー・オンザ・ショートケーキ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Perfect. A 9 because the ending was a bit rushed. |
