Finished watching this a while ago. I loved it. I like hockey well enough and Queen is one of my favorite bands so I guess those were pluses. I also thought that the two leads had excellent chemistry. The interaction between Halu and his friends/teammates was also entertaining to watch. I was wondering what all the Wub

about Kimura Takuya was about. Now I know. The guy's simply cool.
Not that I've watched all that many dramas, but Pride was the first drama ever that I had the wish to re-watch.

I'm so in love with this drama. Oh my God I just love the sound track it goes so well with the story line and theme.

I love how they develop the love story with the meaning of their name Aki and Halu.

To me, Pride leaves an impression of a group of friends in a neighbourhood living their lives. It has an "enclosed" feeling. Firstly, it is winter in the drama. Secondly, it's because the scenes involve little places, Faceoff, Aki's place, the rink, the bridge, to name a few. Thirdly, on a few occasions, Halu & friends always have the inside jokes that people who understand Japanese culture will understand. This enclosed feeling makes me feel "inclusive" to the drama; a warm fuzzy feeling? Fourthly, it's the backdrop of ice-hockey.

I like the interaction & the jokes among the guys. Queen's songs playing in the background added to the warm fuzzy feeling. And Checkers "Namida no Request" played in one of the episodes too. The OST is my favourite too. The names chosen, Aki, Halu and Natsu rest nicely.

The director tend to zoom in/focus on the objects around the chars too.

When I first watched Pride, after the episodes of Natsu came back, there was a knot in my stomach. That's to be expected tho - the sweetness in the earlier episodes followed by bitterness. And i was like, O_O;;; It involves going to prison too.

oh ya, of course Kimura, Kenji and Yuko Big Smile

ya ... all these factors make Pride one of my favourite dramas.

i've only recently discovered kimura takuya after watching change. i have since watched many of his other dramas and pride is one of them. I think pride is a wonderful drama and i agree with many that i love the play on the seasons for their names.
thought the ending was great and really loved the characters of the show and not just the main characters but the other hockey players as well

There are so many good things about this that it's hard to describe them all. Good story, good dialog and a wonderful cast. I'm not at all a hockey fan and found myself cheering. Icemen! When I saw this about a year ago, it was the first time I'd seen Takeuchi Yuko, and I've been searching for everything I could find ever since. Comedy or drama, the Lady NEVER disappoints. Even bit parts when she was still a teenager were great, a natural.
