[Discussion] Pride

First, let's try not to let out any spoilers, for the others. Smile

A friend of mine suggested this series and I have taken quite a liking. Being a former hockey player myself, it just kinda get's me amped (even if I do have critiques of their performances). This series is partly the reason that I am going to get back into hockey (the other reason is supreme motivation lately to chase down anything I want). The storyline is ironic also, eerily similar to a situation I myself am in at the moment, even with that type of girl. Suprise

And the music, hahahaha, it reminds me of all teh times I went to professional hockey games. clapping

Anybody else taken to this series? For reasons of acting and storyline, or can you personally relate? cheers

i LOVE this drama. Big Smile

it's a feel good drama with sadness and a lot of REALITY, meaning the characters are all developed so well. i've seen two other versions but its disjointed, but u get the general picture. i've downloaded jtv's version (ep 1 and 2) and am currently getting the 3rd (just released today!). i'm loving it so much more because it has supppppppaaaaaaa subtitles and it shows all the scenes (more of yamato! w00t

). i cant say enough about this drama. w00t

It's not a discussion if you don't fully talk about the show, its twists, and afterthoughts. So quote the spoilers and set the font white.

I'm still waiting for the HQ releases... Crying

Almost ready to watch ep3. thumright

Discussion later tonight, after I go through that other thread on the front page to learn how to do text in white, and after a few hours of research paper writing (and the onset of the burnout). Big Smile

LOL, I just saw ep. 4 also. Rented it on VHS from a video store (I'm really stoked on this j-drama Mr. Green

). I must say, the difference between JTV's "Dvd quality rip" and the video store's "I recorded this on my VCR off the TV" is night and day. On the video the colors are so dark, there is much I miss from the scenes. The sound is also very plain. Basically, I'm reminded of "The young and the restless" replaying in the daytime from 1975, it's really bad quality. JTV's on the other hand is so crisp and clean, it very much adds to the enjoyability of the show. So, JTV (and Kamui Tongue

)

As for my spoiler discussions, those are yet to come when I have more time to sit still and write, opposed to research papers, study, work, study, papers, finals, finals, papers, study... Wink

this drama is definitely not a typical love story. infact i wouldn't even call it one. its about a team, the members' lives, their friendships etc. its also about values. i've seen the whole drama, but realizing how much of the story i missed due to poor translations. thats why i'm so happy that jtv is releasing it now. in the uncut version they are releasing, it seems like we can understand all these relationships better, like the previous coach and halu, yamato and yuri's relationship.

question: hate or love yuri? Big Smile

Um.. I was talking about the remaining Pride episodes after FOB's ep07, and JTV has only subbed up to ep03. As much as I am tempted to dl from DA, I refuse to watch dramas in LQ. Even though the story may be the best, HQ makes the experience better.

Yay episode 4 is available on JTV! w00t

Ok, I have a few questions (that come about from watching later episodes non-subbed), but these aren't spoilers.

Where is this taking place? Is this some small town up north or what?

This drama....no spoilers....ok, I am just....with the translated versions I will be able to get into their heads and see the reasons they do things, so I am very anxiously awaiting.

And I see the post above says ep. 4 is out. Yay! Mr. Green

i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course the bad engrish subtitles were a tad annoying but they were decent enough that i understood everything. i'm just so grateful for jtv for subbing their version of Pride.

Takeuchi Yuko and KimuTaku outdid themselves at Aki and Haru/Halu. they are my number one on-screen jdrama couple~ Beating heart

and i'm heading over to jtv's tracker to see if episode 5's out yet. Thanks Kamui for the advanced notice~ Wub
