A pretty straightforward drama with no surprises or twists. But what I like about this drama is the realistic plot it has. It feels like an life-story that would happen to anyone around yourself. Didn't quite felt the struggle the female protagonist had & too much was focused on the treatment etc. It needs to have a little more dramatical elements. | Ace wo Nerae! [エースをねらえ!]

Ai no Uta [あいのうた]
Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched)
Thought that this drama is kinda under-rated. The story plot's not too bad...except for the unattractive male lead, so to say. Quite a heart-warming family-themed drama. Sadly, they really picked the wrong male lead. He looks too old to be a father of 3 young kids & for Miho to fall for him. Nonetheless, this drama is enjoyable. | Aikurushii [あいくるしい]

I've always enjoyed family-based Jdoramas. The Japanese producers are really good at winning tears from the audience. The values potrayed in the drama are simple yet meaningful. Excellent performances by the young actors & actresses. They really touched me. And Uta-chan is so cute!!!!!! I would want a daughter like her...hahaha! A nice & heart-warming drama. Highly-recommended! | Anego [アネゴ]
Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched)
What happens when you are over 30 years old & unmarried? Moreover, not attached & stucked in a working world of the men. This drama truly reflects the status of women in the society of Japan. A woman's happiness is to quit her job, get married & stay at home for good. Anego - Japanese for big sister. That's what 32 year old Naoko-san is known as among her peers. She's like a big sister to all in the company, providing her fellow colleagues a shoulder to cry on & a person to pour your woes to. So who does she turn to when she has troubles? Another excellent performance by Shinohara Ryoko. She brought out the exasperation of a 32-year-old single woman seeing her fellow comrades get married after one another. Dislike the plot where they made Ryoko fall in love with a junior colleague who's 11 years younger than her. Too over done. Like the idea of having Naoko-san "talking" to the audience at the start of each episode. Especially like the scene where all the female workers sent Naoko-san off on her last day of work. Girl power rules! |

This is the 2nd sport Jdorama I've watched & I must say it's better than Ace wo Nerae. Because of the same actresses in both shows, (Ueto Aya & Sakai Ayana) I couldn't stop comparing the 2 dramas & the plot. Thank godness there weren't too much similarities except for the usual fight-on-even-though-you-are-going-through-hell-in-the-training spirit that's hovering around all characters. But of course, there're bound to be cliches in such dramas & no matter what, you know for sure the team's gonna win & everything will go alright.

A rather cute drama with a very interesting plot. Somewhat like a fairy tale! Too good to be true. Thumbs-up for the excellent performance by Itoh Atsushi as Densha. He is so nerdy but cute at the same time. Got kinda irritated at the overly long scenes where the BBS participants chat & give their support & encouragement for Densha. Prefer watching Densha & Hermes-san together. Nonetheless, this is a refreshing drama that stands out. | Dr Koto - Shinryoujo 2006 [Dr.コトー診療所2006]

I thought it was one of those typical school-themed dramas again, but I was wrong! This drama's not about rebellious students (although somewhere near), but on a lawyer's attempt to bring 6 students from one of Japan's lousiest high school to Japan's top university - Todai. The drama went into details about Todai's entry requirements, exam tactics etc. Ahhh! It makes me wanna go back to school all over again! | Egao no Hosoku [笑顔の法則]

"Jiro! Jiro!", that's how the kids call out to Takuya in the show. Extremely love the role Takuya plays. You can sense the seriousness in him, though he appears nonchalant. He has got his gentle side, although he looks tough all the time. From hating kids to giving up his lifetime dream & career for them in the end, this drama is no anywhere near the tough boy racing show that of Initial D. It is instead, heart-warming - like a cup of hot chocolate taken on a balmy rainy evening. |

After hearing much about this drama, I finally watched it. Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. While certain scenes of the drama are funny, it's lame most of the time.

However, credit goes to Nakama Yukie for taking on such a nerdy yet cute role. | Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん２]

It made me understand the sport alittle more. |

This drama marks the 100th Jdoramas I've watched. A drama I've been anticipating & it did not disappoint me. Very thought-provoking & tear-jerking. There was not a single episode that I did not shed a tear. Like the little snippets of quotes from the real Aya & photos of her showed how strong she was struggling to live on despite her illness. This drama also has a superb theme song which is very aptly named - Only Human. We are all only human & precisely because we are human, we live strong & on.

I bought this drama with regrets, and watched it dreadfully. This drama totally lacks focus. Half-way through you'll wonder what is the storyline trying to prove?

This drama is surprisingly good & meaningful. A silly plot it may seem, but it has got lotsa underlying messages. About life, relationships & love.

Another breathe-taking crime thriller. I've always like Japanese crime thrillers & suspense dramas. They never fail to hook me. Same goes for Kao. Like the exploration of different cases in each episode it makes the whole drama easier to digest & anyone can just pick up the plot even if he/she watches it half-way through. Especially like it when Shishima tells Mizuho not to snatch his words before he can start saying them. And Mizuho will always reply "Ok!" with an earnest look on her face. |

It's all about love. That's what Koi no Jikan is about. Love in the adult world, love in the forbidden way, love in the family, love in its unexpected way. One may find this drama slow-paced, but the simple storyline with rich elements is what attracted me to the drama. Like the relationship between the 2 sisters, the jealousy they have for each other, the squabbles and the strong kinship. It's all so realistic! |

A nice look into island life & not forgetting the beautiful sea & back to basics lifestyle. |

Shiawase ni Naritai [幸せになりたい]
Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched)
A rather bland drama with no surprises. A typical act-cute role by Fukada Kyoko, not much of acting skills performed by her. A nice look into Japan's TV production system, and how as usual, woman over the age of 30, unmarried, suffers as they become chess of male bosses who're obviously more useless. Unless you're a Fudaka Kyoko fan, this drama can be missed. | Shiroi Kyoto [白い巨塔]

outstanding plot with excellent performance by the actors/actresses. but i sure hope the medical sector is not as horrible & corrupted as depicted in the drama. | Shomuni [ショムニ]

The drama fully depicts the sorrow of working in a big organisation. Very witty storyline. |

OMG! I simply love this drama! Another than drooling over dear Satoshi, I like this drama for its simple yet rich plot. It brought out the complications of love between a man & a woman & the subtle relationships between the characters in the drama. Taking things slowly will somehow let you see the beauty you've once missed & a second look at things which you once thought were right. Its OST is not to be missed as well. | Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni... [それは、突然、嵐のように…]

kinda disappointed in Esumi Makiko's performance. It's one of those typical forbidden love again... |

Japanese thriller/suspense dramas never fail to surprise me. Yet another crime thriller that left me sitting on the edge of the seat. My only disappointment was the complicated ending. Somehow, it's not convincing enough. The twists & surprises in the plot were very, very, very well done. | Umizaru [海猿]
Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched)
I was still contemplating if I should watch this drama. Since I watched the movie already, I thought it would be a rather similar plot. When I finally finished the series, I'm glad I didn't miss this good drama. It brought out the strong bonding between the umizarus, their struggles with family life & their spouse. The sacrifices they make, and the earning of understanding from the people around them. I was quite put off by the not-here-not-there relationship Daisuke & Kanna had though. And this drama has got hell alot of butt scenes. Hahahaha! | Unfair [アンフェア]
Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
This drama I've been waiting for lives up to my expectations! In fact, it went beyond! Excellent plot with a totally unexpected ending. Superb acting by Shinohara Ryoko. Japan crime thrillers never ever fail me! This is a must-watch. Thumbs-up! <3 |

This drama's story plot only deserves 5 points. A very typical story about a stubborn dad who refuses to let his daughter get married until he thinks it's the right time for her to do so. Especially like the way Nagatsuka Kyozo (Akiko's dad) shouts at his subordinates. He's fierce in a cute manner. Not much of a performance by Oshio Manabu. Akiko & Oshio don't behave like a couple who're about to get married. I think Akiko's love for her father is stronger than that of to Oshio's. Since the plot only got 5 points, the remaining 5 points that gave this drama full marks is of course, kawaii Akiko-chan! She looks extremely cute in her nurse uniform. This drama's highly recommended for Akiko fans! | |
