Akimahende! [あきまへんで!] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) funny sometimes.. also about kinship and a wierd obachan.. i like daiki..and suzuki an can act, although she's only 11 at that time.. the thing this drama lacks is the touch of reality in a family drama.. | Big wing [ビッグウイング] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) kassy was good in it.. i liked uchida yuki since then.. but still not as memorable as itazura na kiss.. all the substories were great.. made me cry like hell.. | Bijo ka Yajuu [美女か野獣] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) a superb drama.. i can't believe how much i enjoyed it.. masha looks really kakkoii and nanako is beautiful.. all the episodes are good.. i can say safely this is the best of 2003 as of yet.. |
Bokura no yuuki ~miman toushi~ [ぼくらの勇氣 ~未滿都市~] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) i didn't like the starting few epsiodes.. until when all of them got together to make that radio thing then did i start to enjoy the show.. kinki kids did very well.. and mtasujun and aiba tooz.. kohara yuki was real good.. cho kakkoii.. | Brand [ブランド] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) i loved the theme song by imai miki.. the show although focused on the lead actors.. gave an insight of the work done at these kind of designer houses.. | Double score [ダブル スコア] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) this 8 is for oshio manabu, who looks great in the drama.. the stories are rather common for a police drama.. and the ending not superb.. especially love the episode where kitajima's gun was stolen.. that was touching and unique.. sorimachi was funny too.. |
Fire Boys [ファイアーボーイズ 〜め組の大吾〜] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) woah.. i loved it..! filled with touching stories.. and also reality.. i loved the cast.. especially amakasu!! tsuka-chan kakkoii.. yamada takayuki did a great job.. katsurayama shingo looks good here too.. | Food fight [フードファイト] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) a show i watched when i was young.. obviously i liked seeing him eat in those competitions.. lion heart was the reason i got into j-pop.. | Friends [フレンズ] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) wonbin.. i like him in the show.. his smile and everything.. kyoko was still as cute.. storyline was great.. applaud the actors for learning each others' language for this show.. |
Furuhata Ninzaburo Season 2 [古畑任三郎 2] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) not as great as i expected it to be.. sometimes when the answer gets too easy to guess, the surprise element is not there anymore.. also i got a little sick of furuhata's voice and way of talking.. ^^'' | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) i loved matsujun in this show.. probably the best show of 2002.. nakama yukie was funny and the five guys complement her.. sawada shin left a great impression on me.. matsujun ganbatta.. | Golden Bowl [ゴールデンボウル] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) nice.. but hitomi looks a little old for takeshi.. nvm.. the show's nice because of the bowling competitions.. kuroki hitomi rocks man!! she's so successful.. |
GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 7/10 okay... but takashi sorimachi was a little too not good-looking for the teacher role.. matsushima nanako.. in a non-serious role.. wierd but refreshing.. | Hatachi no kekkon [20歳の結婚] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) yuka... one of my favourite geinojin.. she's good in the show.. maybe a little shouty.. but oshio manabu and yonekura ryoko complement her.. eiji kakkoii!! | Hero Rating: 8/10 (Watched) what i liked about it is the kimutaku is hopelessly gorgeous.. and matsu takako can act well no matter what the role.. the cases are interesting too.. |
Hito ni Yasashiku [人にやさしく / 3ピース] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) great.. as i liked shingo in it.. and the kid is realllly cute.. made him cry everyepisode.. and sophia's mitsuru in his first drama role was impressive.. | Home & Away [ホーム&アウェイ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) a great performance by nakayama miho.. what a beautiful drama.. the stories were all touching and the cast was perfect.. miho-chan did really well as kaede.. thought the last ep was a bit rushed though.. | Hoshi no kinka 1 [星の金貨] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) to be honest i likes shin.hoshi no kinka better.. at least it had an ending i liked.. but this was good because as the show goes on.. you'll like the main actor more and more.. and pity sakai noriko so much.. |
Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Rating: 6/10 (Bought & Watched) scary drama.. the story is packed full of stuff.. so much so that until the last episode i was really tired from keeping up with it.. but nagase tomoya was convincing and the rest of the cast good... though too many dead people scenes made me a little uneasy.. | Itazura na Kiss [イタズラなKiss] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) great show.. arghz.. takashi kashiwabara is good.. i loved the storyline.. for the hopelessly romantic.. sato aikoreally did fit the image of someone hopelessly in love with irie naoki.. go kotoko!! | Itsumo futari de [いつもふたりで] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) a love story.. haven't watched one in ages so this one was a breath of fresh air.. sakaguchi kenji, usually don't think of him as romantic lead-type, but in this drama he did great.. so was matsu takako.. katsurayama shingo did well in replacing the ever kakkoii kassy.. |
Jinbe [じんべえ] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) boring.. i thought.. hiro-san disappeared from the scene in 3 eps.. and the storyline was not to my liking.. i can't stand non-traditional relationships.. matsu and tamura..?! no way.. also tsuyopon was not impressive.. | Kabachitare! [カバチタレ!] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) the banter between the two women is fast and witty.. takako and eri did a really great job in convincing viewers about their roles.. yamashita tomohisa looks great in the show.. and tsumabuki satoshi was refreshing.. | Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) woah.. matsujun..!!! another defining role for him ne.. the plot, though not really realistic on the whole, managed to stay probable because the development of the cast was somehow right.. koyuki and matsujun was a great combi.. |
Kindaichi Shonen no Jikembo Season 3 [金田一少年の事件簿 3] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) i liked it better than the first series with tsuyoshi probably because i like matsujun.. he's really cute as kindaichi.. an-chan was great as miyuki.. many actors cameo in this series.. | Kindaichi shonen no jikenbo Season 2 [金田一少年の事件簿 2] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) the theme song is good.. and whatever it is domoto tsuyoshi is THE kindaichi who can pull it off.. matsujun though cute is a little un-kindaichi | Kisarazu Cat's Eye [木更津キャッツアイ] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) okada junichi did really well in his first leading role.. bussan kakkoii..!! sho was really great as bambi too.. everyone in the show was funny and the plot was interesting.. can't wait to see the movie.. |
Long Love Letter [ロング・ラブレター〜漂流教室] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) nice show with .. with takako and yosuke collaborating for the first time.. yamapi was as usual cool and yamada was great.. but the story was a little on the science fiction side.. and the ending a little to not what i expected.. | Love letter Rating: 7/10 (Watched) okay but.. a little confusing.. kassy doesn't appear much really.. but the last scene when the girl opened the book really broke my heart.. :sobz: poor kassy desu ne.. that was so sweet.. | Manhattan Love Story [マンハッタン ラブストーリー] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) super funny dorama deshita yo..! loved all the main cast a lot.. but tencho was the best, just with facial expressions he can make me laugh so much.. shinobu-kun saikou..! |
Marusa!! [マルサ!!] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) a 8.5.. great drama with hilarious parts as well as emotional parts.. love the cast as well.. tommy! ^^ i like watching the methods they used.. though the plans could be more explained in the drama.. | Messengers [メッセンジャー] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) interesting plot on cyclists.. love kyono kotomi here.. though rather predictable, it gets to the point that i'm watching for the pleasure of seeing them succeed.. a must-watch movie if you want to feel good.. | Mukodono 2003 [ムコ殿2003] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) okay.. i was skeptical.. i never thought the sequel would be anything close to the first one.. but in fact, this one was equally great..! this time, concentration on the family instead.. the script was one of the best i've seen.. loved it..! |
Mukodono! [ムコ殿/女婿大人] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) this was the best drama i watched in 2001.. i really liked sakuraba yuichiro.. every episode made me cry.. aiba was sweet.. as takeyama ryo-chan da.. interesting scenes of family.. | Namida o fuite [涙をふいて] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) another great drama... every episode made me cry.. credit should go to all the children.. nino, ueto, tatsumi and kamiki.. they were good.. eguchi yosuke was really funny as katsuo.. and the rest of the cast kanpeki.. | Netsuretsu Teki Chuuka Hanten [熱烈的中華飯店] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) quite a good drama.. everyone in the show left an impact on me.. sad parts as well as interesting scenes sprinkled thoughout the drama.. suzuki kyoka was good.. so was nino as nanami kenta..!! |
Never Land Rating: 7/10 (Watched) okay.. i watched it for ken and jr.tachi.. a little wierded out by everyone having their problems.. a plot with too many things due to to many leads.. | News no onna [ニュースの女] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) cant remember the storyline anymore.. but whatever it is the lead actress was really good.. and takki.. argh.. cute.. | Ningen shikkaku [人間・失格] Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched) twisted story.. a little scary you know.. as i cannot stand watching the guys being tortured.. arghz.. |
Oishii Kankei [おいしい關係] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) i loved it! karasawa toshiaki is so kakkoii back then! great chemistry between oda and momoe.. and the other cast members complement well.. an interesting storyline.. | P.S. Genki desu, Shunpei [P.S.元気です、俊平] Rating: 6/10 (Bought & Watched) it wasn't really grest.. asaka seto looks way too old for small little koichi kun.. i did not really enjoy it.. | Pride [プライド] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) wow!! a really great kimura drama.. i loved seeing halu being so in love with aki.. the scene where he threw away the pink ribbons broke me up.. takeuchi yuko and kimura both did great jobs! |
Renai Hensachi [恋愛偏差値] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) one of the best shows i've watched.. everyone in the cast did a great job.. nakatani miki and okada junichi, inagaki goro and tokiwa takako, zaizen naomi, shibasaki kou and kassy.. the concept was great.. | Rookie! Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) better effort than p.s genki.. i liked the stories incorporated in the story.. and koichi was convincing as a police officer.. his partner was really funny.. | Sekai de Ichiban Atsui Natsu [世界で一番熱い夏] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) not a drama of my type.. but i give credit to the plot... i really liked kazama shunsuke in the show.. very convincing |
Shin Hoshi no kinka [新・星の金貨] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) i liked tatsuya in the show.. hoshino mari did her job well.. although it had a little too many sad events happening in the show.. it's still good as my fave character was hiroto.. | Shomuni [ショムニ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) as i watched shomuni 2 first so when i watched this.. was a little impatient in the starting when everyone had to know everyone first for the show to continue.. but it was good.. kyono kotomi really shone in the series.. | Shomuni Final [ショムニ ファイナル/庶務二課] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) i've always loved shomuni evey ep has a happy ending style of drama, and this final addition is good! i love maekawa shacho to bits! ^^ all the returning cast did a great job, especially toda naho.. a drama that provided a lot of laughs.. |
Shomuni Season 2 [ショムニ 2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) funny.. that's the only way i like esumi makiko.. other shows like love revolution made her seem wierd.. but she's really suitable for this role.. | Shota no sushi [将太の寿司] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) it wasnt my favourite kassy drama but it was good.. all those sushi competitions were why i watched this show.. and this show introduced me to kaneko ken.. | Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi [空から降る一億の星] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) actually i dun know what rating to give.. didn't really enjoy it until ep8.. but the last episode was so poignant that i just kept crying for yuko and ryo.. both did a great job.. so did kanzo and yuki.. |
Stand UP!! Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) yappari ne.. with all my favourites actors.. and it didn't let me down.. nino, yamapi, nari, ogushun, anne-chan.. yatto ganbatta ne.. an interesting plot with great acting.. perhaps it would be the people in the show that i will remember.. | Strawberry on the shortcake [ストロベリー・オンザ・ショートケーキ] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) okay.. but takki was really not at his best.. kubozuka yosuke and uchiyama rina stole the show.. and let's not talk about kyoko.. | Suekko chounan ane san nin [末っ子長男姉三人] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) okada-kun looked so kakkoii in it..! and the storyline was just right for a sunday drama.. harada tomoyo was beautiful and koyuki did great..! mainly about the family, but somehow it works for me.. ^^ |
Summer snow Rating: 9/10 (Watched) one of the best shows.. tsuyoshi was funny but sweet and hirosue ryoko really fit the image of pale and sickly.. the other people in the family was good like the sis and bro(oguri shun) of natsuo and imai tsubasa | Tengoku ni ichiban chikai otoko Season 2 [天国に一番近い男 - 教師編] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) kato ai was good... and sakurai sho was really convincing as toudou ayumi.. i liked the show because the storyline was good and unusual.. | Trick [トリック] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) a little bit hard to understand.. esp the last episode.. but whatever it is.. abe hiroshi did a great job.. he's so funny.. nakama yukie was really good too as naoko.. just the person for that role.. |
Trick Season 2 [トリック2] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) i liked it.. but this season ueda plays a bigger role in solving the cases.. a bit kindaichi-like.. hilarious scenes were still obvious in the drama.. and the stories are more gory than the first one.. with more murder cases.. the main cast of nakama, abe and namase were good.. | Trick Season 3 [トリック3] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) i would never have given the drama this high if not for the ending.. i LOVED it..!! this time, more emotion given to ueda and kikuchi, although not ishihara-like, gets funny after a while.. a great drama i thought.. nakama yukie mo kirei..! | Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) i really enjoyed the show.. haven't laughed this much in a drama for ages.. moriyama-kun did great.. and so did the rest of all the guys.. it showed how the guys progressed.. their changes in thie beliefs and attitude.. eita kakkoii..!! |
Yamato Nadeshiko [やまとなでしこ【大和撫子】] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) nice to see nanako becoming from a flirty only-money-matters girl to someone who was willing to give up her dreams for love.. | Yan Papa [やんパパ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) nagase-kun has done it again.. made me cry i mean.. i didn't expect it to be so good.. and the addition of anime in the show was really brilliant.. though the ending was expected, it didn't spoil the whole drama.. the kids did well.. esp sakurako.. goto maki was good too.. | Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru [ヤンキー母校に帰る] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) a great drama.. never actually watched takenouchi yutaka in action, but this time i'm sure of his acting skills.. another good story with a superb cast.. it's a real story ne.. makes me feel i want to go there.. |
Yoiko no Mikata [よい子の味方] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) this is a great drama.. sho as taiyo really rocks.. and all the kids are just soo kawaii.. you learn a lot about children and how they think.. kenta-kun kawaii..!! | Yome wa mitsuboshi [嫁はミツボシ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) i've never watched kimura yoshino before this and i have to admit she's good.. loved satoru to bits! however the story is rather similiar to others, and only watching it in 2004 made it all the more obvious.. | |
