I couldn't get past the first episode. It's painful to watch how hard this drama tries to be "different". It lacks the subtlety and heart that Trick possesses that reels people in and makes the franchise a hit. Everybody is comparing this to Trick, so I thought I would too. Although, it's an unworthy comparison. | Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) |
Kiraware Matsuko no Isshou [嫌われ松子の一生] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) | Koi ga shitai Koi ga shitai Koi ga shitai [恋がしたい恋がしたい] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It was a good, not great drama. I agree with the user that said the drama lost focus. The writer wrote such meaningful dialogue, but failed to make the characters live by what they preach. It was a little discouraging and hypocritical to see the characters return to their old behavioral patterns time and time again. I think this would have been a slightly better drama if the writer had focused more character development and depth, (Why don't these characters have any friends!?) less on the love triangles. The plot and the characters ran around for far too many episodes for me to score this any higher than a 7. | Koizora [恋空] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) |

M no Higeki [Mの悲劇]
Ridiculous from the get-go. It was fun to watch for a little while, but eventually the cracks in the script became more glaring. Dropped it in the middle of episode 3. Bad script, bad acting, OTT cartoonish characters. If you're looking for a serious mystery, this isn't the drama to go with (my mistake). | Majo no jouken [魔女の条件] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) | MARS ~ Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru [MARS ~ ただ, 君を愛してる] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) |

Suna No Utsuwa [砂の器]
12 minutes into episode 3 and I have decided to call it quits. The storyline execution is too draggy and mind numbing for my liking. I really don't have a desire to wait around multiple episodes to see when and if the pacing does pick up. It's not a terrible drama, it's just not captivating enough. | Sunao ni Narenakute [素直になれなくて] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) | Taiyo no Kisetsu [太陽の季節] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) |
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [たったひとつの恋] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) | Tentai Kanzoku [天体観測]
Dropped it at the end of episode 5. I really really wanted to like this drama, but I couldn't. This drama is too cheesy and it portrays friendship in an unrealistic manner. Sometimes support from friends isn't enough to solve your problems. The fact that these characters were so easily uplifted and driven to turn over a new leaf by such simple means is very unrealistic. Human beings are not that simple minded, I hate that they're portrayed in such a way in this drama. I can understand why this drama performed badly in the ratings- the characters have no complexity or depth. It's clear the writer was rather young when he or she wrote this. That's the only thing that could explain the idealistic mindset of these characters. Real 25 year olds aren't this naive. | Tokyo Friends [東京フレンズ] Rating: 1/10 (Watched) |
