actually i do think PD is a very good drama - plot and casts are fantastic but just that the story develop at such a slow pace something you get so frustated...but i guessed that's part of Kenzo's characteristic. overall, i think it's a very good show because of the plot and moral behind the drama. wonderful.

Probably late to the party with this, but I banged this out in a few hours, so don't judge too harshly. Smile

I loved the music from this show a lot, enough to arrange one of the themes a little bit.

Kibou (arranged)

I'm not a great musician or composer by any means, but I do hope you enjoy it.

I wanted to like this, but I found that after a couple of episodes, it became repetitious and an effort in frustration. Ok - Ken can't express his feelings when he's with Rei. I get it. I would like to have seen some additional plot development other than the endless scenes of Ken standing around looking morose.

you guys didn't like the drama?.. I thought it was pretty good. I've watched a couple of jdramas and so far the really good ones that I really liked was this series, which is Prodai, and the HYD series, and maybe First Kiss. They just kind of make sense and not super cheesy and they dont have a weak plotline. But the other dramas was just funny to watch but the plot was just wasn't good. Unlike this one, where it's kind of funny and at the same time, I like the plot.

Well what I liked about this drama is its plot. I kind of like the idea how he goes back in time. but it's true that he fails most of the time, but atleast, he has changed something. And that's the point. He can't just succeed in the first time. It's a working progress too, cause at least he changes things bit by bit as he goes back to time, cause if he succeed like all fast, there's no more story, and the thing is, he goes back in time to realize the mistakes that he've done, that's why he was able to say it at the end, and at the present time.

I love how yamapi is all cold. and i like how kenzou and rei always gets into arguments. Idk. I find it sweet. hahah.

I also love their frienship. Like their group bonding. I envy it a lot. I wanna have friends like those and just hang out in a single place like after school and whatever

Anyway, I thought it's one of the best dramas out there.. and that's never gonna change at all.

Apart from this drama being soo repetitive and episodic, the thing that really made it watchable with this drama was the plot...
The fact that Ken basically redoes an entire lifetime to win Rei, but the fruits of his hard work? We only see a thirty minute sequence in which Rei FINALLY realises that Ken loves him (and Tada-san was totally wrong in the first place) ...that kinda pissed me off- Ken does soo much- but Rei will never know...

There is a Canadian show currently running called "Being Erica". The main character is this girl (in her late 20s?) who has some regrets in her life. She happens upon this guy with the power to send her back in time to "right wrongs".

Sound familiar?

Every time they get to the point where he sends her back, my wife and I yell "Hallelujah, chance!!!"

Well, actually, the ending is pretty clear. She does go after him. And if you watch the SP, you understand everything.

The SP is really funny, Kenzou is more grown-up this time and knows what to do to make things better. And the big ring and shoes... OMG... ok, i'll stop, no more spoilers...

Generally speaking, I really enjoyed this series. I didn't think that it had a slow pace, and every time it was something different, so I didn't think it was repetitive. The plot is really different and interesting Smile

, but after all, everybody has the right of opinion...

I really liked the insert song, Chiisana Koi no Uta, and when it was first played, when Kenzou had to buy her coffee milk, my mind was filled with lots of memories and enjoyable feelings.

does anyone know how to play that thumb game in the episode where the group spends at the mall? when they're trying to decide who gets the last takoyaki.

sorry if this has been answered already

Hi there,

I crashed the Horikita Maki forum sometime ago, and now I've come here.
I just finished ProDai + SP last night and I have to say I LOVE IT!!!

It is the most enjoyable and satisfying love story that I have watched...
I mean I liked the ending the most. I like the interactions and the characters -- I love the emphasis on weddings, the love was innocent and deep and really tangible.

Tons of things I liked about this drama -
yes I agree with some of you, that it was getting repetitious half way through where I really felt like slapping Ken and say, "confess already!!!!!"
But it was intended that way - I thought the plot and story was so masterfully written. The ending was the best, the SP was the best Smile

I liked the conflict set up in the story - best childhood friends, have a barrier to say these words, how ironic because the love they have for each others are deeper than anyone else's, but yet they cannot utter those words.

I liked the mutuality in the end - where not only Ken, but Rei shows a change in character, both of them broke out of their shells.

I loved how the SP portrayed - a realism, you can't just crash a wedding like that, steal the bride and go happily ever after without consequences! It was very real, their conflict of being afraid to talk about weddings.

Loved the main actor and actress - yamapi and nagasawa masami. I thought both of them were adorable and really good looking - I just loved them.

@ the thumb game: I'm not sure, but it looks like everyone holds their hands out, and when a person says a number, people decides to hold their thumbs up or don't hold - and if the number of thumbs up is equal to the number you shouted out, then you win!!
So in the end, Mikio said ZERO! , and nobody held their thumbs out - so he won.

I loved the ending, and the insert song too ---
If anyone wants a recommendation for a love story - I would definitely recommend this first.

I haven't watched HYD though...quite put off with the TW version.

Been getting into jdramas lately. After watching: DenshaOtoko, Nodame, Nobuta, HanaKimi, Kurosagi, ProDai ----

I would have to say ProDai has the best ending of them all - it left me with the greatest closure, and satisfaction of them alllll. I was really happy with that, and for this I give it really high points and commendation. It probably is my most favourite drama now...

I wasn't happy with Nobuta ending at all,
HanaKimi ending was OK - but SP sucked bad
Kurosagi ending was ok...but short, the Movie was ??SDF?@!@#% - no Tsurara x Kursaki at all
Prodai ending+SP --- A+++++++!!!!

Cheers!

@ika-chan: I'm like you, I just finished watching this yesterday and can't believe I missed it. It's become one of my favorites because of the reasons you pretty much summarized. The story is well written and the acting is very good. The ending is very very satisfying. YES WATCH THE SP, because the ending of the series is obviously a cliffhanger to prepare you for an SP.

As for HYD, I highly recommend watching it too. Don't get put off by the TW drama (hated it to no end so please just forget about that one!!). Do watch HYD S1, S2, 2 SPs and Final Movie (so many because the story is soooooo good). And if you still aren't tired with the story, go watch the Korean version of HYD called Boys Over Flowers, which recently came out this year.
