Dokushin Kizoku [独身貴族] (Watched) | Dosokai [同窓会] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) one of the best dramas I've watched recently. I like adult theme dramas! Just realised the writer is really talented.. the lady behind many big productions like good luck, shiroi kyodo.. Kuroki hitomi was awesome in the show. She might just be my 2nd fav actress. Oozes so much sex appeal. This show has got me thinking about the whole concept of adultery. | Dososei ~ Hito wa, San-do, Koi o Suru~ [同窓生 ~ 人は、三度、恋をする ~] (Watched) |

Egao no Hosoku [笑顔の法則]
| Eigyou Buchou Kira Natsuko [営業部長 吉良奈津子] (Watched) | Engine [エンジン] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) though the plot revolving around the kids was touching, i felt there was no impact to the show. was quite a surprise when kimura lost the race in the last episode. and i'm still wondering how come kimura and koyuki suddenly just hit it off like that when there was hardly any hint of fondness for each other. i felt the racing theme could have been better explored. they should decide whether to have the children's home as the main theme or racing as the main theme. though Pride had other elements apart from ice hockey, the main and side themes were explored much better. the kids really made the show worth the watch though. |

Konna koi no hanashi [こんな恋のはなし] Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) I gave it a 7 not because it was not nice, but becase after watching 68 dramas, this is just another of those really sweet jap dramas that touches ur heart. I liked it nevertheless, though the cast was not the usual popular stars, with the exception of nanako. She looked so young back then. Like how the story evolved and emphasized on friendship. wat a time to watch this show, just when I got cheated by my friends who ran away with my goods. | Koori no sekai [冰の世界]

Mother Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Thought provoking and very touching. The theme on "mother-daughter" relationship was brought out really well, though I actually wouldnt mind if the series had explored each mother-daughter relationship even deeper. The cast was superbly outstanding. Been a fan of Matsuyuki Yasuko since Kyumei Byotou 2. She's got style, and did really well in this drama. Cant believe the little actress is only 5! She's amazing at her age. Tanaka Yuko portrayed the role really well too. The ending was a little sad for me, but I guess it's probably the most befitting ending to the show.. | Mother and Lover [マザー&ラヴァー] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) | Mukashi no otoko [昔の男] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) |

Suna no Tou ~ Shirisugita Rinjin [砂の塔 ~ 知りすぎた隣人] (Watched) | Suna No Utsuwa [砂の器] Rating: 5/10 (Bought & Watched) oh god.. i watched it only cos all the reviews said it was good. i had to force myself to finish the entire 8 discs and it really disappointed me. the acting was great no doubt, the scenery too. but it was so long and draggy and the last scene was such a letdown. i mean.. it was great directing, but... i like dark dramas.. i enjoyed sora kara furu ichi oku hoshi. i enjoyed california no yume. i enjoyed several others.. but this one.. only the part they revealed his past was well.. rather touching. i'm sure i'm not void of emotions cos i cry so easily at almost everything.. but this one really failed to make me feel much. the love between the 2 leads was so subtle i'm wondering if i'm imagining it! yes, matsuyuki likes the guy.. but did he like her?? and i thought i read she had her own past.. but hers was hardly well brought out. in fact, it was so briefly touched on i din feel anything at all. i wouldnt really recommend this show. the music got on my nerves after a while too. overrated to me. period. | Sunao ni Narenakute [素直になれなくて] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) |
