Aishiteiru to Ittekure [愛していると言ってくれ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) | Beach boys [ビーチボーイズ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I watched the MV first even before I watched the real deal. It's a good friendship story, with lots of life lessons involved. Two different characters that can become good friends, it's hilarious and touching at the same time. Strictly for Yutaka Takenouchi and Takashi Sorimachi's fans, although if you like stories about friendship, you'll love this one! | Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) OH, MY GOD! It's the first time I saw Kimura-kun in a pretty serious role. His scene in the last episode where he cried at last was really stellar and it broke my heart! Takako Tokiwa did a good job as well. Good script and great acting, though slow at times, but really worth it! Go watch it! |
Bijo ka Yajuu [美女か野獣] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I'm currently watching it, and I'll come back to give my overall view. But so far, it has been pretty good! | Boku no Ikiru Michi [僕の生きる道] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) I have conflicting feelings watching the dorama at first. Its mood is a bit weird as it deals with death but played out in such a light-hearted way that I couldn't help but smile in the end. That's how I felt when I finished watching it. I cried when Nakamura Sensei died, and that tells me that it's a fine dorama, no matter how slow the pace can get. It's an inspiring story that should be watched by all! Good job from Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, I would never doubt him again afterwards! | Dekichatta Kekkon [できちゃった結婚] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It's a good series, but not really my cup of tea. However, Ryoko Hirosue really shone in this one! If you're a Yutaka Takenouchi and Hirosue's fan, you'll probably love it! |
Double score [ダブル スコア] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I totally love Takashi Sorimachi in this one! Manabu Oshio did a good job as well. Although the cases are pretty ordinary, but the chemistry between all the actors made up for it. Sorimachi and Oshio as Tachibana and Kawamura really had it going as partners! | Friends [フレンズ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) I have no idea that Won Bin and Kyoko Fukada have good chemistry in this dorama. They really click! While Won Bin was OK, FukaKyo was actually really good. What impressed me the most, however, is Lee Dong Gun who played Won Bin's best friend. It's a pretty romantic series, and I pretty much like it. | Good Luck !! [グッドラック!!] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) |
GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 10/10 This is probably only the second dorama that I rated 10/10 besides Long Vacation. What can I say, I REALLY LOVE IT! Takashi Sorimachi and Nanako Matsushima really have great chemistry on-screen, and I can even imagine that they are falling in love while filming this dorama. Lots of life lessons involved, and the actors who played the students did well, too! Overall, a great dorama if you ask me! | Hero

Long vacation [ロングバケーション] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) Definitely one of the best doramas of all time, even if it's an old one! Great chemistry between Takuya Kimura & Tomoko Yamaguchi, good plot & storyline...A definite MUST-SEE!!! You can just watch it over and over again without getting tired of it...TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! | Love generation [ラブジェネレーション] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) Pretty good storyline, kind of dragged a little bit, but still quite enjoyable...Good chemistry between Takuya Kimura & Takako Matsu, definitely one of the on-screen couples of all time. RECOMMENDED! | Love Revolution [ラブレボリューション]

Renai Hensachi [恋愛偏差値] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) Story 1 is definitely the most touching. I really love Story 1, it's something different from any doramas that I've seen! Miki Nakatani was really good in this one and Junichi Okada looked kakkoi! Story 2 is about life lessons, and Goro Inagaki suits the role Natsume perfectly. I also like Story 3 because it deals with friendship which is totally my kind of story. The chemistry between Naomi Zaizen and Kou Shibasaki is great! Overall, it's a pretty good watch! | Saigo no koi [最後の恋]

Tomoko to tomoko [智子と知子]
| Virgin Road [バージンロード] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) I've never expected how good this dorama would turn out to be until I've watched the first episode. It's really, really good! I got hooked to it, wanting to know what would happen between Kazumi and Kaoru next. It dragged towards the end, but it's still a good watch. Emi Wakui and Tetsuya Takeda did a fine job, while Takashi Sorimachi really looked kakkoi! Watch it, you'll love it! | Wakamono no subete [若者のすべて]
