Aoi Tori [青い鳥] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) by far one of the best dramas ever created.. it's so touching and the acting is superb.. the scenery and the music to this drama is well-set.. definitely a top 5 material.. must see | Ashita ga arusa [明日があるさ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) it was aiite.. matsumoto hitoshi was soo funny.. he just would appear for a minute in every episode and makes the scenes so hilarious.. it was good | Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Watching this drama, made me realize lots of things in the outside world. Very good romantic and sad drama. Definitely Tokiwa Takako's best drama. |
Double kitchen [ダブルキッチン] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) very funny drama.. i can't believe it's been over 10 years since watching this drama.. pretty good storyline and sano shiro brings laughter.. | First Love Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Fukada Kyoko will probably not act anymore..she should only be displayed for magazines or something.. too many random things happen to make the story longer.. | Furuhata Ninzaburo Season 2 [古畑任三郎 2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) i really like these kinds of detective programs.. even though it always solves the mystery after every episode.. it was very interesing in each of them.. plus furuhata ninzaburo.. the acting of him..was wonderful |
Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) To me, it seemed like a female GTO version with a little more intense yakuza. I thought it was really funny and the producers did a really good job. Definitely watch it. | Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Surprisngly good but similar to the first. Rather than an 8, I give it an 8.5 due to the phenomenal cast. Nakama Yukie presents well, Kamenashi Kazuya is going to be a star in acting soon (calm and dramatic face expressions are well done). Regarding the plot, it is exactly the same as the first one. I like the fact that they brought Kuma again and present his lifestyle after high school. What would amaze you is that this drama had a TV rating of 27.83? Although it is a similar drama, it still produces and gives a laugh or two and a lesson too. | Good Luck !! [グッドラック!!] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) It makes me want to be a pilot. Of course, in Japan, many teens have watched this drama and has inspired them to become pilots. Tsutsumi is really good as an actor. He has impressed me a lot in Good Luck. And Shibasaki Kou will go far. Although I usually don't like the idea that theres always a solution in every episode, I liked the ideas they brought. Solid drama. |
Good news [グッドニュース] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) not bad, I thought it was gonna be a corny one.. but it was pretty funny and the roles for each person were good.. sano shiro does it again.. | GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 10/10 this is probably the best drama I have ever watched before. I really wish there would be teachers like him in the real world. One thing to notice is that a few of the actors like Kubozuka Yosuke and Fujiki Naohito are in it as side characters. It amazes me that how they're stars right now. I want to have a class with Onizuka. LOL | H2~Kimi to itahibi [2〜君といた日々] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) a 6.5 I give this drama based on a manga series. I like the characters but the characterization is flawed. The characterization was rushed in the last two episodes of the drama of the four main characters. Yamada Takayuki's talented acting skills were wasted. I'm sure the younger generations like watching this drama though. Although I have been negative, it is still a reasonable baseball sports story but it could have been better. Above adequate. |
Hitotsu yane no shita 1 [ひとつ屋根の下 1] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) this drama is definitely a top 5 material.. the characters and the story are done well. There are laughing scenes, sad scenes, relaxing ones.. it just makes it into a complete well-done drama. | Hitotsu yane no shita Season 2 [ひとつ屋根の下 2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) what a great sequel.. it just dominates one more time.. and brings lots of family warmth.. and of course, wonderful acting | Ienaki ko 1 [家なき子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) very amazing..script well done.. adachi yumi is hella great actress at that age.. very sad drama but it is one of the best dramas ever |
Ienaki ko Season 2 [家なき子 2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) definitely top 10 material.. it's one of the popular dramas in japan.. i wish some ppl would look back to the olden days and watch this drama.. Hopefully i can watch it again in the near future.. very good.. | Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) magnificent story..the acting is fabulous especially Kubozuka Yosuke. He is one of the most talented actors in the world. And I was really surprised to see Sakaguchi Kenji in that role. Very good plot and done well. Superb. | Kabachitare! [カバチタレ!] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) i didn't care for it.. it didn't seem funny to me at all.. was quite disappointed.. it didn't seem to have that spark to make it into a good one.. |
Koibumi [恋文~私たちが愛した男] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) another different drama..the main character leaves all this to live with a former girlfriend so that he can help her as she battles with illness. He has decided to stay with her until the end. Wakui Emi is a pretty good actor.. | Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003 [高校教師 2003] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) ueto aya brings a great performance.. and narimiya is very versatile.. script and plot is impressive.. not just a teacher-student relationship..theres more to it.. i haven't watched the original yet, but this is one to consider..9.1 | Long Love Letter [ロング・ラブレター〜漂流教室] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Disappointed. I was expecting to be a great one but it seems too unrealistic. The ending was terrible. I believe they tried too hard to make it different and as a result, it did not turn out well. |
Love Revolution [ラブレボリューション] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) it was good i guess..nothing special.. it's nice to see a former student in California, Oshio Manabu, is now an actor.. this drama did not seem to have a spark.. it seemed too plain | Majo no jouken [魔女の条件] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) nanako and takki did very good job on their roles.. another touching, love drama.. i liked it from the beginning to the end.. very addicting.. i remember i was waiting to watch it every sunday night to see what will happen.. definitely a watch | Otousan [おとうさん] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) it was all right.. a family show.. more of a lesson to families to show how its done.. |
Pride [プライド] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) I heard many good things about this drama, but it turned to be a slight disappointment. It was too predictable, and it was not one of Kimura Takuya's best dramas. Acting is good. But story was mediocre. | Saimin [催眠] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) quite surprising.. acting is very good in this program.. each episode gave a lil suspense and brought lots of questions and twists.. nice drama about hypnosis | Satorare [サトラレ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) this drama is very different.. I thought it was kinda stupid in ways and it coulda make it better.. but still it was enjoyable and pretty good acting.. |
Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu [世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Staff, cast, story, splendid. Very touching. From beginning to end. Phenomenal. | Taiyo no Kisetsu [太陽の季節] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) I liked it, shows the life of trying to fit with the rich people enviornment and meeting with a handicapped girl.. Pretty smart drama. | Tengoku ni ichiban chikai otoko [天国に一番近い男] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) i really liked it.. it's so funny and jinnai's personality makes it really good.. it may be a bit stupid in ways..but i really enjoyed and the ending was pretty good as well.. |
Tengoku ni ichiban chikai otoko Season 2 [天国に一番近い男 - 教師編] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) I was disappointed in the second one.. it's basically like the first one.. but jinnai doesn't bring the interesting behavior in this one.. i thought okina megumi is better than kato ai in this role.. it still was good to watch.. but just not like the first one.. | Toshishita No Otoko [年下之男] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) it was okay.. a very different drama..very dark family.. shows how their lives change for each person but i was kinda disappointed with the ending.. i was expecting something more.. i felt it didn't solve much.. | Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) this drama has impressed me so much. It makes me want to try synchronized swimming and also makes me want to act in a possible future Water Boys 3.. hah |
Water Boys Season 2 [ウォーターボーイズ2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) the characters are so much bonded in this one.. and i say that this is better than the first series. I also think the characters make it even better as well, but the storyline also makes it much better. I was expecting not to be as good since usually sequels don't do that great of a job..but the producers did an excellent job on making this series definitely to watch every single detail of each episode.. | | |
