Long vacation [ロングバケーション] An amazing surprise [Rating: 9/10] I wasn't quite keen on watching this series but am really glad I finished it. The storyline is pretty straightforward but the character development of Sena and Minami is flawless. The acting is superb all round too, especially Takuya Kimura and Tomoko Yamaguchi. I thought they were perfectly casted for their roles. This is one of the best dramas I've watched (Beautiful Life is still no.1, IMO). There isn't much action (unlike Seikei Bijin where there's always something interesting going on). This series mainly revolves around the relationship of the 6 main characters. Can get quite draggy at times (which is why I didn't give a 10) but overall, still a good watch.
Great soundtrack too! I wanna download all the songs! | Seikei Bijin [整形美人。] What a thrill! [Rating: 9/10] From the first episode, I was hooked. The show is extremely funny, largely thanks to the immensely talented and beautiful Ryoko Yonekura (she's so beautiful I keep forgetting that she's a natural beauty). She portrays her character flawlessly and I fell for it totally. The storyline is pretty cute and every episode made me crave for more. I finished all 11 episodes in 1 sitting 0_0. That's how addictive this series can be. I like how the playful Honami and cool Ryusui are paired together. I thought it was a perfect pairing and appealed to the romantic in me ;P If only stuff like that happen in real life. Anyways, this drama is definitely worth a watch! |
