1 Pound no Fukuin [1ポンドの福音] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I am not a fan of Kosaku's character. I found him really annoying. Being Catholic, this story really didn't make much sense. But I enjoy watching Kame and Meisa is so gorgeous, especially in the last episode with normal clothes. and Katsumi-kun was so cute with his hair clipped up. It was entertaining. | Antique [アンティーク〜西洋骨董洋菓子店] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Antique is VERY VERY funny~ It isn't one of the addictive drama that you have to watch in a row... one episode a day just cheers you up!! and I don't think there is a plot much.. but more like stories of three guy that just work in the same place. Something to enjoyable to watch when you are down and bored =) | Attention Please [アテンションン プリース] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) It was entertaining. Aya is really cute in Misaki's character. It is too bad they didn't pair up Shouta and her. I want to become a cabin attentent now. lol |
Bambino! [バンビーノ!] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It was okay I guess. Didn't really like how Jun smiled every two second or for no reason at all. The food looks really yummy though. | Bara no nai Hanaya [薔薇のない花屋] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) best drama of the season :) i am not a fan of Shingo or Yuko, but i have to say they are both wonderful actor/actress. it's been a long time since any jdorama have kept me so excited before. Shizuku is the cutest kid character ever. | Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) If I watched it when it first came out, I would have rated higher. Since I watched 1 Litre of Tears already, the whole handicap theme was watched before. It was touching, but not extremely that made me cry. Plus the plot was quite predictable. I gott admit there wasn't a lot of chemistry between the leads compare to the newer dramas of Kimura. I still enjoyed it though. I really like the beginning, than as it got to the end, it was too 1 Litre of Tears. |
Bloody Monday [ブラッディ・マンデイ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It's a decent drama, but it's a little depressing for me. The plot really throw me off a couple of times, which exciting. Miura Haruma was the reason why I watched and I liked him in there. His acting is admirable. I will definitely look out for his work. | Brother Beat [ブラザー☆ビート] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) My kind of drama =)
3 hot/cute boys. it was enjoyable. tatsuya is really hot and i wish my mom can be open minded like haru-san. | Buzzer Beat ~ Gakeppuchi no Hero [ブザー・ビート] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Exactly what makes a good jdorama. Jdorama needs more refreshing romantic drama like this. Go Pi <3 |
Byakkotai [白虎隊] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) I really like war themes, so I enjoyed it even if I couldn't watch the whole thing as once. I cried, Yamapi is great, but I do admit he still needs to improve. The elderly actors/actresses are always great and Raise You Up is a nice touch. | Byakuyakou [白夜行] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) This isn't my favorite type of drama, but I loved it. Nothing can beat the Yamada Takayuki's voice over. Many parts were confusing, only because my Chinese skills sucks. The ending was sort of predictable, but his son was too cute. =)
I also give mad propz for the 2 kids who acted the young ryo&yukiho. I enjoy that part the most. Overall, *yay* the drama is finished. | Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei [コード・ブルー] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) bland. i'm a big yamapi fan, but the whole idea of this drama just isn't very good to start with. there was no msg to the drama. the plot was weak & characters were weak. i enjoy medical dramas a lot and this one didn't impress me at all. |
Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) There was so many bad reviews about this drama, so I wasn't sure if I should watch. REVIEWS ARE WRONG! Dragonzakura BLEW me away!!!! I was so surprise b/c it was so different from GTO, Gokusen, Gachibaka. It was amazing. The whole concept made a lot of sense to me. The ending did kinda suck b/c everyone likes happy endings. Reality is reality. Education is extremely important as well as friendship/feelings/family etc. The students was such eye candies too... especially YAMAPI&TEPPEI =) | Egao no Hosoku [笑顔の法則] (Watched) i watched a couple of episodes of this at my friends house and i thought it was quite funny~ | Friends [フレンズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) two really good actor and actress together. too bad it was so short =( but i still love it a lot... it just makes me think that there is possiblity that something like that can happen to me^^ *blush* especially picturing the guy as wonbin =DD |
Gachi Baka ! [ガチバカ !] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I love the teacher and student theme & NEWS. haha. Very similar drama to Gokusen & GTO. But i guess it is very different in many ways. The issues in the drama is more recent. I really like yuuko~ she is very cute and her problem touched me =) | Galileo [ガリレオ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A perfect and interesting drama, other than weak plot. | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) i wish this drama would never end... i love both yakumi and sawada's character very much... they had such great chemisty... i just wish that they could have made them together at the end... but this drama is so funny & the cast was awesome!! a must watch!! |
Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Although I enjoy watching Gokusen2 a lot, it cannot beat my obsession with Gokusen~ Maybe because I watched G2 right after G1. I thought it was quite boring, even though the cast of G2 are all so pretty^^ kame + teppei =) G2's got good-looking cast, BUT gokusen got the better actors. | Gokusen Season 3 [ごくせん 3] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) well what can you expect after 2 seasons already. its entertaining and i like how they didn't make Yankumi's identity an issue this season. | Good Luck !! [グッドラック!!] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) My first finished drama by Kimura Takuya. I guess I am kind of disappointed. I thought he was suppose to be super good, maybe because I am not really into planes, I didn't really connect. But otherwise, Kou did a great job. I keep thinking she is suppose to be mute (from orange days) and koda-san's character was powerful. It was an okay drama. |
GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 10/10 Many people compared Gokusen with GTO. Having watched Gokusen first then GTO. I loved both equally. Even though the storyline is similar, but it gave me a totally different feeling. It was equally funny and meaningful. In GTO, I loved the romantic relationship between main characters. In Gokusen, I loved the cast and Yankumi. Highly Recommand this drama. | H2~Kimi to itahibi [2〜君といた日々] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) H2 was very entertaining and touching... a great sport based drama!! It is not at all based around baseball, but friendship and love too~ and I really liked the fact that hiro and hideo was not like enemies enemies... but just like friends-enemies, that adds a deeper meaning then just some childish I-am-better-than-you type thing!! | Hachimitsu to Kuroba [ハチミツとクローバー] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I didn't even realize the ending was the ending. It feels incomplete, but it was a nice drama. I really like the paintings that 'Hagumi' paints and the art directing. Other than it relating to me being in an art school, I thought the story was lacking. I love the Ayumi-Mayama-Norita triangle though. The closing video is always fun to watch. |
Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) HYD is the best jdrama out there!!! The storyline was awesome to begin with, then with the great acting of both mastsumoto jun and mao... it made it 458724687654 times better!! Even though it was rushed... i think the actors did a great job!! it was touching funny and a drama that you can watch over and over and over again^^ | Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 It was awesome. Everything is amazing bout it. I lost interest in it in the middle, but close to the ending. It went back up. I love it. Jun makes the best Tsukasa =) | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I read the manga and watched the Taiwanese version and I was very much attached to the relationship between Sano and Mizuki. That is why the Japanese version was quite a disappointment to me. The comedy between the dorms was very entertaining, but I just wish there was more romance. I mean as much as friendship is important, the story is kinda bout SANO&MIZUKI. Other than that, props to Toma (Nakatsu)! |
Hero Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I enjoyed watching HERO. The OST & the cinematography added so much more excitement into the characters and plot. It made all the characters more humorous than they already are. It was just hilarious. The storyboard and all the editing was great. The Tv shopping was a nice touch. | Himitsu no Hanazono [ヒミツの花園] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) This kinda reminds me of Brother Beat with the whole brother theme. The chemistry was good and the story was interesting. Shaku Yumiko just needs some acting lessons, but I think she is pretty and I love all the clothes you wears. Definitely entertaining to watch. My favorite character was Satoshi and Hinata. | Hotaru no Hikari [ホタルノヒカリ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) A totally worth watching drama, especially if you like Fujiki. It was definitely entertaining, but they really watered down the romantic stuff. Teshima and Amemiya's relationship was just awkward and painful to watch, which was probably want they wanted to portray. |
Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) i love sad drama/moives and this is definitely one of my favorite tearjerker. but sad thing is i watched it with my sister. and she wouldn't stop making jokes about it. and it totally ruin the mood... one day i will rewatch again. ryo & erika had awesome chemisty!! | Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) This drama is underrated. I haven't watched such a good drama in such a long time. Even though it was too violent and bloody for me, it was awesome. My favorite boys were in there. The storyline is entertaining. There was a lot of randomness, but I enjoyed that. Nagase is truely a wonderful actor. | Iryu [医龍 Team Medical Dragon] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) First medical jdorama! I loved it. It was exciting in terms of the plot, characters and even just cardiac surgery in general. I also loved the ending song Ai- Believe :) |
Iryu Season 2 [医龍 2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) As good as the first one, since I watched it back to back, it just seemed like one whole series. Although Noguchi was getting a bit too much, but I am glad he is gone forever now, hopefully. The kids they cast are always so adorable and the stories are so touching. I thought some parts was a little bit too much, like the traffic accident with the heart transplant, just a little bit unrealistic. I enjoyed it though. | Kamisama mou sukoshi dake [神様、もう少しだけ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A great drama to show the problems with HIV & AIDS. I must say I was disappointed with Fukada's acting, she really didn't convinced me as a girl who was positive & strong. I didn't really feel connected until I think the last episode with the baby, I started crying like no tomorrow. Overall, I loved it. Kaneshiro did a great job, very very cool his character =) The song "In The Sky" is really good, which made me get into the drama more^^ | Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) After watching KWP, haha JUN YOU ARE THE BEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD!!!! Jun's got skills!!! This drama is not exactly realistic... but it is so enjoyable!!! I cried so many times because it was so touching!!! Great plot great actor/actress!! I liked the kiss scenes too, different from the peck-on-the-lip-thing in usual dramas^^ |
Koishite Shinitai [恋して死にたい] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) My first jdrama!! ahhh I loved it... this is how my obsession with Japanese boys and jdrama all started. I remembered being obsess with Dohmoto for weeks!! To Heart~ is crazyly funny b/c of Fukada and I loved the whole idea of innocent romance... the theme song is great too.. makes me want to cry =.=" | Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003 [高校教師 2003] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) (7.5) It is definitely not the typical jdorama and it is also not my liking. Everyone is pretty messed up on the head. A pessimistic dorama, with characters with no hope in life. Glad everyone was happy at the end... I disliked the doctor the most. | Kurosagi [クロサギ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) this is going to be the best drama of the year~ i can feel it. yamapi <3
FINISHED>>
It was good. Some parts was really boring, but I really liked the ending so that makes up for it. Maki & Yamapi are amazing. I love them both very much. Great job Pi for taking on a diffcult role. HE IS HOT in here. If you are Pi fan, watch! If not, you might not like it. Meh, watch it either way =) |
Last Friends [ラスト・フレンズ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) 7.5... It really was quite good in the beginning then I think after episode 5 or 6 it just started going down hill. I agree with a lot of people saying that the topic of the drama is the only good part, but the storyline and just character development wasn't good enough. It was too wishy washy for me. Prisoner of Love is a great OP for it though. | Liar Game [ライアーゲーム] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I enjoyed the drama, even though I got the message of the drama from episode one. They just had to exaggerate everything and used extreme cases, which sometimes in very unbearable to watch. Other than that, it was really entertaining to watch. I am definitely more of a Nao-chan. BUT I'm just stupid, not pure. lol | Long Love Letter [ロング・ラブレター〜漂流教室] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I JUST finished this drama and it left me with mix feelings. Half the time when I was watching it, I felt extremely uncomfortable. This survival theme drama is definitely not my favorite. I think manage to watch it all was to see if they ever got back to the future and for Satoshi, Yosuke, Yamapi and Yamada. I really really dislike Tokiwa Takako. So it was a pain to see her with Asami. I hope this doesn't happen to earth, because I plan to live pass 2022. lol |
Long vacation [ロングバケーション] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) i haven't been able to finish this drama yet. for some reason i couldn't get pass the first couple of episode... hopefully one day i will get the chance to finish it
>>my computer crashed. so i got my chance to finish long vacation. i gotta say once i got pass episode 4. i couldn't stop. minami-chan is a really funny. i loved her character. i understand why ppl love this drama. it is very good. i loved the ending too. kimura was quite convincing as a pianist. i really liked momo-chan, really good comic relief. the whole cast was great. as for the sound track... ahhh i am in love. i never fast forward the open theme song, not even once lol~ | Love generation [ラブジェネレーション] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I hate romantic dramas when after they fight. then it take them FOREVER to get back together. so the last 3 episodes was really painful for me to watch. Other than that, I loved it. Some parts just made me go crazy. I love the sound track and the story line was good except for the ending bit. | Love Shuffle [ラブシャッフル] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I just love how this drama is so witty. The puns they use are so funny and smart. The OST is great, it gets a little bit dark somethings, but every episode made me actually laugh out loud. aiai and usatan. YAY PANDA :) |
Lunch no Joou [ランチの女王] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Everytime I watch this drama I get hungry. I love how such a small thing as eating can be so happy, I love eating!! The plot is really funny and the cast is all very adorable! (Satoshi and Yamapi especially) | Mei-chan no Shitsuji [メイちゃんの執事] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) It's been awhile since I rated a drama 10. I have the admit the drama is completely silly, but I was deprive from a good drama for a long time that Mei-chan totally blow me away. It was such a surprise how much I liked it, despite of its silliness. This drama turned me into a Hiro fan, he is just such an eye candy. :P | Meitantei Conan: Sayonara Made no Prologue [名探偵コナン- 工藤新一への挑戦状] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Oguri Shun was the only good thing in it. |
Mop Girl [モップガール] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) it was entertaining! i love watching kitagawa keiko. she manage to do airhead, yet adorable. great opening song :) | MR. BRAIN Rating: 9/10 (Watched) You can't really go wrong with Kimura, although I thought the beginning was completely random. In the end I don't really know why Tsukumo changed after the accident, other than the magazine with Yuri's face on it. I guess I'm looking too much in the science sometimes to actually enjoy the drama. Nevertheless, it was entertaining and I enjoy seeing different actors and actresses in each episode. I was on the floor laughing when Shingo was at the veryy end. | Mukodono! [ムコ殿/女婿大人] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) My #1 favorite thing is the soundtrack. It is really touching. Nagase Tomoya is a great actor, playing two totally different roles. His artist look is so cool & hot. I would have been one of those crazy fan girls. As for his home look, he is such a cute dork. I enjoyed a lot. Something didn't make it a homerun for me though. Maybe it is because I never saw the power of Yuko's acting yet. It is still a highly recommanded family/comedy/romance drama. |
My Boss, My Hero [マイボスマイヒロ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Nagase Tomoya is amazing, especially in the last two episode. I love him crying because it is so real. Overall, great drama. Highly entertaining. It is funny in a very retarded way. lol | Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Another great drama!!! I loved the plot of the story. it really gets you thinking~ It critizes the society today about people putting on masks and etc.. really touching... great cast shuji X AKIRA xP | Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ−レ] Rating: 9/10 watching and loving it... makes me want to learn the piano again. (finished) its highly entertaining. chiaki-sama is so charming and cool. and nodame is awesome =) |
Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) another perfect drama. i think i can watch this over and over again. i love the sign language, i want to learn now!! i love the actors and their acting. everyone did a great job and made the drama something you can really relate to and it was not at all fake, but something that seems like a real story... i want a bf like kai-kun^^ | Pride [プライド] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I wouldn't say it is a MUST watch drama, but it's very enjoyable. I must say, I am proud to be Canadian lol. But still I hate hockey. It is a very violent sport. Kimura.. um. everyone says he is good, but i don't quite see it yet. his character is the same as Good Luck. or as least similar. I don't like Yuko that much. I gotta admit that the ending did suck. Everything was realistic until the end. I really dunno how i feel about this drama. I am confused lol. It is good, but in a weird way. | Proposal Daisakusen [プロポーズ大作戦] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) It was awesome in every possible way. The romance chemistry was perfect. The friendship chemistry was top notch. I was so jealous of their friendship. The OST is made perfectly for the drama. The acting was great. YAMAMI =) |
Sapuri [サプリ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I admit Kame's acting is pretty convicing. His expression is very natural. I dunno what Itoh's though, but I guess her character is kinda like that. The side story with Natsuki and Enjoy man was nice. I loved Natsuki, she is adorable. The work theme was boring when I first watched it, but I got used to it and I can relate to it now. So it got a lot better. One complain, LEARN HOW TO KISS. The kissing scenes for me was a real turn off. I didn't believe they were in love. | Slow Dance [スローダンス] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I liked it. It was really slow in the beginning, but it gets better. The story was believeable. One of those you-can-relate-to & have-to-think-about dramas. Ahhh I am scared to grow up now. lol. The acting was actually really good, so real and so deep. I liked it, but I probably won't rewatch it. Satoshi is the cutest =) | Stand UP!! Rating: 9/10 (Watched) the plot was okay~ quite funny... i watched b/c i wanted to see yamapi act more~ and after watching yamapi is truely a cute&hot boyy^^ im in love with him now~ the other characters acting was great too... good friendship and message to the story... despite the dorky horny scenes... yamapi's appearence made it up for me =) |
Summer snow Rating: 8/10 (Watched) i enjoyed it, but that is about it. i didn't fall in love with it. maybe its b/c i watched it 6 years late. i gonna say dohmoto tsuyoshi is really a great actor. even though natsuo is not my favorite character, tsuyoshi did a really good job. the storyline was a little too predictable. but it was really touching. between 8 & 9... 8.5! | Tantei Gakuen Q [探偵学園Q] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) 8.5! It was refreshing to watch young potential actors/actresses, especially Yamada Ryousuke and Shida Mirai. I am definitely too old to be fantasizing over Yamada, but he is the cutest boy ever. I see a lot of potential in him. Mystery was never my thing, but it was definitely enjoyable. Great acting, great plot. | Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [たったひとつの恋] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) I thought it was quite dreadful to watch even when I only needed to spend 45mins each week to watch it. I couldn't imagine the pain it would have for someone to watch it all at once. Other than that, Kame's acting has improve. All the characters in this drama are slighty boring and lack chemistry for me. |
Teppan Shoujo Akane [鉄板少女アカネ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) I thought it was quite dreadful to watch. The plot wasn't that strong and some parts were overly cheesy. BUT it made me hungry every time. | Tokyo DOGS ~ Saiaku de Saiko no Partner [東京DOGS] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Entertaining, I like Oguri Shun's haircut here :) I dislije Hiro's facial hair, but I loved his goofy acting. Awesome ending song too! | Utahime [歌姫] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I give Utahime a 9.5. Seriously, ratings lie. Utahime is definitely worth watching. Usually I get really annoyed with settings in history, but this is my first and I looooved it. Tomoya Nagase is a wonderful actor. His other dramas don't do him justice. This one definitely is his best. If you are a Nagase fan, watch it. Best in the season. |
Voice [ヴォイス] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I enjoyed it, Great cast with great chemistry, especially Eita and Satomi. They have acted together before and are just so cute together. I think the theme of the drama, very different and interesting. Definitely a great message and meaning, maybe a little bit too deep for me, but still understandable. | Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I watched WB2 first, but WB1 is equally as good. I really like Yamada's acting. He really has his charm just like in H2. The ending song was also great. This is like the only exception for speedo wearing. | Water Boys Season 2 [ウォーターボーイズ2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) i fell in love with ichihara hayato and koike teppei in waterboys2. i loved this drama. it is funny and something to sit down the whole day and watch the entire series... the swin team has great chemistry together... for me it would have been perfect if there was more of a love plot |
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge [ヤマトナデシコ七変化] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Wallflower is one of the only manga I enjoy now-a-days. So the original story and characters, especially Kyohei holds a really special place in my heart. When I found out Kame was playing Kyohei I was pretty bummed out, because Kame didn't fit the physical part. I honestly don't think Kyohei exist for me in the real world. But I'm a fan of Kame, so I decided to watch it anyways. It was entertaining, even though they changed the story and character quite a bit to fit a drama length. Kyohei being so emotional is totally not cool with me, but I think after the 2nd episode, I saw it as a separate story than the manga. Other than that, the kiss was done really well at the end. Kame, Tegoshi and Uchi was such eye candy :) | Yuukan kurabu [有閑倶楽部] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) it was kinda entertaining. other than that just eye candy (with jin only) pretty pointless and goofy. | Zettai Kareshi [絶対彼氏] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Entertaining to watch, I really liked the Ayaka's Okaeri. Hiro as Soshi is just so hot, but I do think Mokomichi is hotter when he isn't a robot. Night is hotter in the manga and Soshi is hotter in the drama. lol |
