Also, the correct term is "Japanese," not "Jap.." ...A lot of people (like myself) see that abbreviation as derogatory towards Japanese people, so please refrain from using it... sweating


i added my little "disclaimer" as someone has already posted their lengthy review way before me anyhow....

and i think whether it is derogatory depends on the person saying it... if i didn't mean it that way.... (and trust me i would never.) u can't say i did.... it's simply an abbreviation.

The fact that someone thinks it's derogatory means that you shouldn't use the term, whether it's intentional or not... sweating


Yea, that term is a racial slur that was used against Japanese people during WWII... I'd pick a different abbreviation. Even if you personally don't mean it that way, that's its history... and that's what people will relate it to. Made me do a double take. Blink


ah..really..I never knew Unsure (from now on I'll never use this abbreviation... Neutral From all these discussion about LF, I wonder how other dramas are if they were put into discussion. Will there be weakness? better plots? For me, thing seems pretty realistic on how the drama goes, but I'm not saying they are perfect the way they are. Many things in life remain enclose, people's interaction will not always be as clear as light. There are secrets and distresses which sometimes being touched on without making straight to the point. Life is just simple and at the same time complex like how "last friends" are. I have to agree the drama lacks development (and let we end that point since we all know about that, there's no need to continue on pressing on that anymore toward the drama ) Whistling

Gomen... It's from disappointment.

Juri-chan and Eita-kun pretty much act their asses off in this drama and the writer and producers sells their souls to the devil for ratings...

Haha, not just frustration but lots and lots of *angst* (thanks to Juri's and Eita's performances mainly - their characters really made this show for me Cool ). A good dose of angst goes a long way... I'm now addicted to angst and can't find another jdrama to replace Last Friends in that department...

Yeah, hated and loved how they put our hearts through the blender each week. Of course you wouldn't feel that way unless you're really invested in the plight of the characters. Something the drama succeeded in doing. We'd scream , shout at the screen or find our tears flowing after each episode...I guess you don't miss something until it's gone. Good angst is hard to find.

herachan: It's from the magazine TV LIFE(issue 5.24-6.06). I'm pretty sure you can find it somewhere in the first half of the almost 200 pages...Along with the other 'goodies' scattered among the serious discussions. ;)

Speaking of scans, one of my favourite would be Kaze to Rock featuring Juri, Masami and Eita. =D Someone translated the interview recently. For those interested, it can be found here. (kinda member locked tho...so either join or PM me). Cool

I don't know why, but I didn't like the ending. Maybe it was so happy, that I thought it didn't fit the drama?
I wanted Takeru and Ruka together!!! >_<

Guys! I found a few sites claiming that results of the 57th Japanese Drama Academy Awards are out!! I haven't been able to confirm this from the official website/yahoo etc so not 100% sure.

Check it out:

Some of us will be angry - and some happy...
