1 Pound no Fukuin [1ポンドの福音] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) HMMM ok lets see:
POSITIVE: its very very veeery funny! and kame's charmy smile
and his flirting makes it even more lovely to watch this drama.
NEGATIVE: hmm there is just something that is missing..its like
when you watch the first episode it is really sweet and funny
but later nothing really new will come.. every episode is about
another box fight and how kame tries desperately to catch
attention of sister angela..its like every episode is like the other
one. thats kind a boring you know.
Kamenashi Kazuya: First of all I love Kame and obvisously he is
the star of this dorama so if you are not his fan do not watch it
LOL Kame plays the naiv,cute boxer (who is like ALWAYS hungry
XD) with alot of passion and you believe him..especially his love
to sister angela. He acts very good and shows also some of his
boxing skills. BUUUT I have to admit when you compare him to
the original manga character he does not suits physically to this
role. he is waaay too skinny and you just DO NOT believe that
he is 60 kg because he looks MUCH slimmer. Boys like Massu
(boygroup NEWS) would suits better to this role..he is slim but
has more muscles and a chubby face. BUT HEY never mind!
Kame still did a great job and I love him in this role so its
worth watching. ^___^ | 3 nen B gumi Kinpachi Sensei Season 6 [3年B組金八先生] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Very good Episode! I think all the young actors like Aya Ueto or Katoh Shigeaki made their job really good. The story was also pretty interesting. Especially Aya-chan's character was really hard to play. Her role of a girl who actually wants to be a boy was extremely controversal. But Aya-chan was so fabulous. It's not surprising that she became such a huge star after her acting debut. I am kinda sad that Katoh-kun didn't appear in movies or dramas as much as other Johnnys. I think he is a very talented actor.
If you always liked the junior high school stories of "3nen B gumi Kinpachi Sense" then you gonna love this 6th part,too. | 3 nen B gumi Kinpachi Sensei Season 7 [3年B組金八先生] Rating: 2/10 (Watched) Ya-ya-yah boys acted very well ..but I think in Kinpashi sensei 6 the actors played beter ( like Aya Ueto and Kato-kun). |
3 nen B gumi Kinpachi Sensei Season 8 [3年B組金八先生 8] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) gosh finally Kinpachi Sensei is back ^^ the newcomers are not that special..I always liked the cast in the past but those actors are kind a boring >_< | Anego [アネゴ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) The story is very much like "Kimi wa petto": A 30s year old hardworking woman and a young handsome guy who felt in love with her. But here its more about japanese modern women and their life style and less "love story" if you know what I mean. Funny, sassy and Jin looked very attractiv, delicious,stunning here ^^ the theme song "KISS or KISS" is such a good song with a nice playful flair. | Attack No.1 [アタック No.1] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) Well, I loved the manga/anime and I had high expectations for the drama...but sadly it wasn't as good as I expected.. However, I think AYA-chan made a good job! she was a good choise! |
Bloody Monday [ブラッディ・マンデイ] Rating: 7/10 watching.... | Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) OH Very funny drama about lazy students *ahahaha* Well, it's intersting to see how their new "teacher" finally change their attitude ..
Yamapi's role of a macho doesn't REALLY suit to him *lol* I think he was cuter in Nobuta wo produce ^^ but teppei is kawaii like always. | First Class [ファースト クラス] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) It's all about strong career women in model business. Erika played good. Short dorama with a good plot but a very weak script.. |
Ganbatte Ikimasshoi [がんばっていきまっしょい] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) This Drama is like the female version of Waterboys ^^ I really liked it! Suzuki Ann proved again that she IS a great actress..and Ryo-chan played the role of a sexy-mysterious guy veeery hawt *aww*..Of course it's sad that Uchi couldn't stay and they had to put Junno on his place..but Junno did a good job ! | Gekidan Engimono - Ie ga Tooi [劇団演技者 - 家が遠い] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Very simple made drama with most of my favourite NEWS boys..well, their acting was not bad at all. | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Ooooh the very first GOKUSEN seasons ^^ Well, most of my favorite actors played there (Nakama Yukie, MatsuJun, Nari and my dear Oguri Shun-kun).
Exciting and funny drama about a teacher who is trying to control her rebellious class with her strength and sense for justice. Give it a try, you gonna enjoy it! |
Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Nakama Yukie showed again her talent! I liked Gokusen2 more than the first one..maybe especially because of the new actors! Kame, Jin and Teppei are belonging to my favourite entertainers | Gokusen Season 3 [ごくせん 3] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) ok..about the dorama:
NEGATIVE: ok seriously.. its like everything repeats all over again!
everyone who already watched Gokusen 1 and 2 will not get
surprised at all when they'll watch Gokusen 3 *LOL* the storyline
did not change at all.
POSITIVE: ITS STILL FUNNY ^^ there are so many scenes where
you just cannt help yourself but to laugh really hard XD
..about the actors:
Takaki Yuya: ok ok he is a cute guy, thats true..BUT he tries
WAAAY too hard to be "the next akanishi jin".. in each episode
he copied jin's behavior/acting/face expression and at the
begining it was sweet but later it got on my nerves.. because I
am pretty sure he can act better than that and he do not need to
be a copy cat. AND SERIOUSLY who can ever be like jin or even
replace him??? that's impossible ;)
Miura Haruma: what can I say? I love him since "KOIZORA". He
is very handsome, talented and he CAN act. He do not need to
copy anyone because he creates a new and own character when
he plays another role...its like you see a totally different person
in each movie / dorama and thats what acting is about. To be
honest he was the main reason why I did watch the 3rd Gokusen
season till the end XD..he was like the star in the new
season..he made at least more interesting for me. | Hachimitsu to Kuroba [ハチミツとクローバー] Rating: 1/10 (Watched) well becaus I like Toma and Nari I started to watch this Dorama. The 1st episode was not that bad, but it did not really touch me. I liked the movie version with Sakurai Sho and Aoi much better!! |
Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) I love this Drama ! It has an awesome and interesting story..Shun looks damn HOT and SEXY there..MatsuJun kinda surprised me in a positiv way..he was good in Kimi wa petto, but I didn't expect him to act THAT well. And Mao-chan showed that she is definitely one of the best actress of her generation. | Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Yes, I do love this Dorama..I could watch it 1000 times and do not get sick of it. Oguri Shun is the most charming and sexiest guy, he knows exactly how to handle his role, MatsuJun plays the role of the rebel perfectly and Mao Inoue ist just a unique and great actress. The 1st season was awesome and this one becomes even better! You can expect a lot of surprises and new characters ! MUST WATCH IT! | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) its very very very funny
its interesting
it has a great story
..and super actors Like Shun, Hiro and Toma!
One of my favourites of 2007 <3 |
Hyoten 2006 [氷点] Rating: 4/10 (Watched) well it has 2 main parts and I prefered the 1st one especially because of the twist. Very dramatic. Ishihara Satomi was good, actually its the first time she really impressed me. Tegoshi was charmy and showed that he also can play another type of guys and not only the depressed outsider like in movie "Shisso" or dorama "15 Sai no Blues". Iijima Naoko was awesome and Nakamura too..they are just professionel. | Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Yes...the story is very touching...and you can't handle it and have to cry when you watch some scenes..Ryo made a great job as actor, Erika was not that good ..ok she looks fine but she is not the best actress and sometimes its seems like she forces herself to cry.She just tried too hard and it didi not looked natural but there were some scenes where she played ok.
All in all it's a sad and touching drama (and has an awesome soundtrack) but the actors cry way too often. | Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) One of the cutest romantic comedies I ever watched! I even liked the soundtrack! The main actors played their roles very charmy..
MatsuJun makes a very cute and sexy petto ^^ |
Kindaichi shonen no Jikenbo (2005) [金田一少年の事件簿] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) well it was ok.. Kame is a great choise anyway ^^ | Kisarazu Cat's Eye [木更津キャッツアイ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) It was very funny here and there. Good acting, halarious dialogues and a strong cast. I laughed so much while watching it.. And Bamabi (Sho-kun) was very adorable ^^ WEAK POINT? The story is lame. But the humour saved it :) | Kurosagi [クロサギ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) very interesting story with some twists. mostly every episoe is exciting. yamapi is damn good-looking BUT not the best actor BUT he improved himself A LOT in this dorama. maki shows another side of her acting skills. its not one of my most favourite doramas but it still worth watching -- I give it an 8 ! |
Kyuto [キュート] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Science fiction, romance, high school drama with an anime touch.
It was al right, not bad, but I wouldn't watch it again. I watched already WAY too many doramas, movies and animes about cyborgs and robots and I have to admit Q10 brings nothing really new. EspeciIt had some fun moments and alos boring moments so I wasn't completely enjoying this drama. I watched it mainly because of Sato but Maeda did a really good job as a robot. It suited her well because her face looks generally expressionless. Perfect to play a robot/cyborg. This drama is ok and you can watch if you got nothing else to watch, I guess. | Last Cinderella [ラスト シンデレラ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) AAaaahh that's the kind of JDrama I like. It's a mix of Kimi wa Petto, Anego and probably any other "older woman + younger man" drama you ever watched. BUT this one also has its own charm. The love scenes between the main characters look so natural and not "artificial" and "forced" at all. Miura, one of my fav. actors since his debut, looks sensual and very dashing as the "young rebel dandy". And I guess we all love Shinohara Ryoko. She acts so delightful and is funny as hell! Love her in this role! Yes, I definitely recommend this drama. I watched it so many times :)) | Last Friends [ラスト・フレンズ] Rating: 9/10 Well, "LAST FRIENDS"...its awesome.. its so mature..its exciting..its dramatic..its shocking...its touching...its intense..its
definitely one of the best dramas I ever watched! Love the actors and the
story. Every episode is great.
Ryo-chan (Sosuke):
Ok ok..Ryo-chan was since "NEWS" debut (2003) my favorite member..so
probably I cannot be really fair when it comes to his acting skills BUT I
watched all his dramas and he extremely improved. I have even more
respect towards him because he decided to play such a HARD role like in
"LAST FRIENDS".. its not easy to play a guy who hurts his girlfriend in
such a horrible way. The most Johnny's boys always play the lovely or
cool character in dramas..but you have to be very brave to take a
negative role as a brutal bad guy because Ryo-chan could lose a lot of his
japanese female fans because of the role he is playing in LAST FRIENDS.
I think Ryo-chan does a great job, I did not expected him to be THAT
good, so I cannot agree with people who says that he is not a talented actor.
Ueno Juri: What can I say.. SHE CAN ACT. The best actress of our
generation. I just love her since "Swing Girls" and "Nodame Catable" and
now she again proved what an amazing and talented actres she is.
Juri and Ryo-chan were the main reasons why I started to watch
"last friends"..and I really do not regret it. They easily steal the show
from other actors. The main focus is on them.
Nagasawa Masami (Michiru): Well not bad..I watched her in 3
Doramas so far and I am very impressed by the way how different she is
in ever role. The most actresses can only play the little cute girl but
Masami can also play mature characters. |
LIFE [ライフ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Awesome..one of the best doramas about bolliying I ever saw. and one of the best doramas of 2007. I spent the whole night to watch all the episodes because its so interesting, touching, shocking etc. The main actresses are great, I did not expect that especially Fukuda Saki and Kitano Kii would play their "evil vs angel" roles THAT good. WORTH TO WATCH IT! | Majo no jouken [魔女の条件] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Well, well�c famous JDrama about a 26 years old teacher who falls in love with her 17 years old student. Very controversial but also SO romantic! Hmm of course it's a very scandalous and serious topic and all the actors, producers, director and screen writer were very brave and CRAZY to be part of this movie. The interesting thing is.. You really want the main characters to stay together and to show their love in public even if it's wrong and a crime. Maybe because Takki is so premature and Nanako's character is so lovely and kind of naive, you really believe that they love each other in a pure way. But there is also passion... especially when you watch the library scene. Wow, that scene was very touching and sensual. BUT there are also moments where I thought Michi is extremely selfish and she should control herself! She is a mature and grown up woman, she should take responsibility and end this relationship. Well, like I said a very very serious topic and it's hard to write a bias review about it. PS: "First Love" by Hikaru Utada was the theme song of this drama and it became huge hit. :)) | Mei-chan no Shitsuji [メイちゃんの執事] Rating: 2/10 Ok, what should I say? Another drama about rich , spoilt kids who won't accept the normal "bimbo" girl in their elite school. Oh ok, but here they have sexy butlers. Hmm yeah, thats it. NOTHING interesting is happening at all! They could at least make it different... Ok I ONLY WATCHED 1 EPISODE. But I don't think I missed anything I didn't see already before in 10 other jdramas. The cast is great, really, but the drama brings nothing new. Ahhh... I am bored. |
Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Shuji to AKIRA!!! KON! I enjoyed this drama a lot..2 guys try to make an outsider like Nobuta popular! You just want to watch EVERY episode till the end.. YES it's worth WATCHING!
Nobuta Power ENTER! XD | Osen [おせん] Rating: 5/10 Well it's cute, indeed. Uchi played a very LOUD character but I am happy that he is on TV again *haha* and his romance with Aoi is really sweet. OH and i LOOOVE the theme song "Odore" by Micro from Def Tech. Amazing voice and the beat of the song is just breath taking. | Proposal Daisakusen [プロポーズ大作戦] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) very cute story.. and its actually also interesting..but its not THAT exciting like Yamapis previous doramas..I miss that "something special" which always bind me to a jdorama. ANYWAY Yamapi is worse watching it ;) I just can't resist his charm.. |
Ranma 1/2 [らんま1/2] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Well it wasnt't really a drama .. I think they seperated it in 2 episodes? I don't remember anymore, I watched it 3 years ago XD Anyway, it was ok.. good cast. But I think it was too short. They shoud've made a drama out of it with 10 episodes. Because otherwise the characters hadn't the chance to develope themselves. | Sapuri [サプリ] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) It took me forever to watch this drama till the end. Weak points? No chemistry between the main characters, plain plot, nothing really happens and its very slow... Why did they need to make 11 episodes? 9 would be totally enough. Ok, there are few sweet moments and yes, Kame is so sexy but his charm and his playful personality does not come through here. I wished the main characters would flirt more in the first 7 episodes but it�fs rarely happened. Towards the end it gets more interesting. The relationship between those two finally started to progress. I liked how they showed the typical problems of a career woman in Japan. Ito�fs character is a successful career woman and she can�ft decide between the younger guy, who she actually love her and the successful rich guy, who has the same status and age like her. The society expects her to marry a rich, successful personality like herself. So she is in this kind of dilemma and has to decide between love and society�fs expectations. I liked this subject in this drama that's the reason why I gave 5 points. I just wished there would be more energy and fire. I think it's the fault of the main actress. Ito�fs acting is really lacking energy. She looks great and everything but I wished she wouldn't act so out of place the whole time.
There are some good quotes in the dialogues like "A child pushes their love on the girl they love. An adult makes her realize her love for you." NICE ONE!
Well, I think it's an average drama. And Kame's fans like me will probably watch it anyway. :P | Seigi no Mikata [正義の味方] Rating: 8/10 Very funny comedy with a good cast! An evelish older sister who let her poor younger sister do all the work At the end you'll see that she actually loves her younger sister even if she never says so. |
SHARK Rating: 4/10 (Watched) Oh gosh, it started so well! I liked actually the plot but sadly it wasn't as good as I hoped. Yes the boys are cute and the songs are not bad. But first of all is the main character SO DAMN ANNOYING. Hirano Sho is one of the cutest Johnnys Jr and he looks great in that jrock look but his character spend his whole time with screaming aroung, beeing arrogant and extremely annoying. It's so hard to like him. The rest of the cast is al right but I don't see anyone who acts actually good. And why do they ALWAYS have the same outfits? Like in every single scene? Didn't they have enough budget to buy the boys some clothes? WEll, anyway. And some of the conflicts are so forced and unreasonable. There were still some good moments and like I said the eye candy and the music make it easier to watch it till the end. And yes, it's very short.Every episode is just 20 min. long. Anothe rgood thing? SHARK second season. MUCH BETTER. | SHARK Season 2 Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Better script, better actors, better story. Just MUCH BETTER then the 1st Shark season. And the biggest credit goes to Shigeoka Daiki (Johnnys WEST). I was totally surprised how good and authentic he was! I hope to see more of his acting in future. But his co-actors were also very impressive. Especially Yasui Kentaro, his role was so annoyed and spoiled but because of his solid acting you totally understand why his character developed like this. Yasui himself is part of Johnnys Jr. and 22 years old, which suprised me because he looks so young but that would explain his mature acting. The rest of the cast was also good. Kaede's (Egirls) character was playful but still strong. I like Kaede a lot. Even though she is young, she plays a cool , confident and sexy female character in a dorama. I totally suport this image.
The story was moving and exciting , you always wondered what gonna happen next. Of course it's kinda predictable but the mature play of the main actors, the settings, the jrock/pop songs and of course the eye candy (all of the boys are very cute) makes you fall in love with this short and exciting drama. And yes, it's definitly better then the 1st season. Thanks God. | Sprout [スプラウト] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Light, short & sweet JDrama about first love, summer feelings & pure high school years. Ah I enjoyed every second of it. Especially because it has this wonderful summer flair. And Chinen Yuri. Wow he is such a delight to watch! You totally understand why the girl fell so deeply in love with him. He is kind, cute, pure and respectful. You just enjoy watching him doing.. anything haha Well, yes! I am in my twenities now but I liked this teen drama so much! So I can recommend it ;)) |
Stand UP!! Rating: 10/10 (Watched) STAND UP!! my most favorite JDrama of all the time (probably because it was the first jdrama I ever watched when I was 16 years old). It is funny, entertaining and cute JDorama with very good actors! Every episode is interesting and the actors are just so unique (Nari, Ann, Shun, Yamapi and of course Nino who played awesome and proved that he is a great actor). YES, like I said, BEST JDorama I ever watched ! | Suikyu Yankees [水球ヤンキース] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Highschool-sports-jdorama with a lot of fun,joy & a very talented & handsome Yuto Nakajima. I was very surprised how good his acting was, very natural and charmy. He really grew up and now he is a real man. His firgure is sprty, fit and stunning. Perfect choice for this role. The rest fp the cast was al right but no one really stood out.
The story is not deep at all but still very entertaining. | Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [たったひとつの恋] Rating: 10/10 A poor boy fisher boy meets a rich girl from a wealthy family backround. They fall in love but their families are against their love relation ship. To make a long story short: Romeo and Juliet meets Cinderella Boy.
My opinion? A Wonderful and very romantic jdorama. Definitely one of the best of 2006. The chemistry between Kame and Ayase is so sweet and breath-taking. You believe them. You believe that they truely love each other. I am not such a huge fan of Ayase because even so she doesn't look fragile at all (she is quite tall and has a sexy curvy body), she still acts extremely fragile here and sometimes it's kinda annoying to watch. Her apperance just doesn't match her behaviour. On the other hand she shows her strong and powerful personality here and there (even though sometimes her charakter seems a litttle bit too SPOILED). So at the end she was not so bad. Kame is my favorite Johnnys Boy from the start so probably I can't be bias here. But it's one of his BEST acting performances. He is so manly and strong. Every each of his expressions took my breath away. Even if it was just the way he smoked. They way he talked to Ayase and the way he protected her, just everything was right on point.
About the story: I love rich + poor romance. I am a huge Bollywood fan and it's a common theme there. I think this dorama was adorable and I oved every episode. It wasn't boring OR repetitive at all. The most jdoramas get boring after 4-5 episodes because every episode seems similar to the previous one. But Tatta Hitotsu no Koi is different. Just lay back and enjoy the innocent, pure Romeo and Juliet romance. ;) |
Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Handsome and crazy boys in a damn crazy JDrama! You have to watch it! | Yamada Taro Monogatari [山田太郎ものがたり] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Another extremely cute story from a popular manga.
Firstly I thought that Nino absolutely do not suit to this role of a handsome "prince" because he is more the guy next door and roles like in "STAND UP!!" suits him moor.
Still he proved again what an AWESOME actor he is ( I have to say that he is one of the best actors in Johnnys Ent. FOR SURE!) and played this role very good.
Sho is suits perfectly to this role, I mean, he IS good-looking and it seems like he improved his acting skills a lot.
All in all its a totally cute jdorama BUT when you compare it to similar jdoramas like Hana Yori no Dango..well then I have to say that Yamada Tarou Monogatari is MUCH weaker (especially the settings are not as good as in Hana Yori no Dango). Nevertheless, great actors like Nino or Sho are worth to watch it. ^^ | Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge [ヤマトナデシコ七変化] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Funny, romantic and a great cast! Johnnys overload! I liked the manga and I think the live action dorama was as good as the manga was. Especially because of Kame's playful charm. |
Yuukan kurabu [有閑倶楽部] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) Ok... The first episode was very impressive. But the rest was boring.
I love the settings,.. the places suits perfectly to this jdorama.
The story of the dorama (original from a popular manga) is sometimes exciting and interesting.
ACTORS: I was actually very surprised how good Yokoyama Yu (Kanjani8) suits to his role because I normaly saw him as a weak actor. He shows a totally different side and looks very good here.Normally he is always the genki and funny guy but here he plays the kind a mysterious+serious role very good.
AAAAND LASTT BUT NOT LEAST: Akanishi Jin (KAT-TUN). He is sexy..he is good-looking.. and thats all..lol.. | Zenkai Girl [全開ガール] Rating: 9/10 I just love ambitious and strong women ^^ I am glad that Yui finally played this kind of role. It suits her! And on another hand Ryo-chan chose a very unsual role.. it's not the typical "dandy-bad-boy- role" he usually prefers to play . He played a very grounded/normal/cute guy and it seems like he kinda enjoyed it to be dominated by his co-star *haha* fact is that they are a couple now ;) I am glad because Yui and Ryo-chan are a cute couple and they look good together. Ok back to the topic, an ambitious young woman who only thinks about her career and doesn't think about love and marriage untill she meets the very sweet and down to earth young man and his adopted son. Well, the only think I criticize is, that they changed her strong attitude at the end because *spoiler* she is marrying him in the last episode. But, why not? A woman can have her great career and still fell in love and marry. It's not like she is giving up her career for love. She should get the best of both worlds :) | Zettai Kareshi [絶対彼氏] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) One word : LOVELY. I wouldn't watch it again, but it was entertaining. |
