Whoah. I didn't know The Power Rangers was based off a Japanese show originally. Craaappp. I LOVED that show back when I was kid.

Oh, no way. I wasn't a fan of any of the cast when I first heard of ROOKIES. Didn't even know who half the cast were. So it definitely wasn't on my watch list because of all the nice eye candy; my favorite type of Jdramas are high school ones, so ROOKIES was a certain for me around when it was announced. I wasn't too excited on the story if I have to be really honest, baseball has never interested me, nor' has sports dramas in general.
ROOKIES has completely blew me away, I really underestimated it. And it has nothing to do with how good looking most of the cast are. The story is really, really gripping. You have to admit, the plot, is nothing new. We've seen it done before in other dramas. Teacher, delinquents. You get the idea. But this series plays it out so well that you can't help but love it. It can be emotional, can be inspiring, touching and it can be hilarious at times, and every scene does it near perfectly. Combined with it's beautiful soundtrack, brilliant acting from all of them, it was hard not to love this series.
I won't deny that this series has made me into a fan of pretty much all the cast, and a fangirl of a few of em' AND that I really don't mind the eye candy but this series is a lot more than just that for me.
gonna' end mah rookies rant there; I've gone on long enough.

This is going to sound really dumb but somehow i find myself getting teary after every epi just when the Kiseki ending theme starts lol. Wsn't expecting Rookies to be great but tried it anyway cos of my soft spot of Ichihara Hayato and Ryuta Sato. Didn't think Hayato could pull off the Aniya role, i'm so ashamed to have ever doubted him now.
On a light note, does anyone realise Hayato is actually wearing a wig for the drama?

I also find myself crying when I watch Rookies. The only drama in a while that made me cry! Sure Last Friends was great and stuff but it did not touch me emotionally. Rookies did! I love it how it draws out these emotions from me!
Ichihara Hayato is amazing here! (As are all the guys but he's the top!)
And Sato Ryuta too! When he smiles with his trademark smile it makes me smile too!

I didn't realize that so many girls would be into this drama, what with it being based off of a nekketsu(?) shonen manga and all. Lol. But I don't agree with most of the audience being fangirls. I think the nature of the drama has a pretty good appeal toward male audiences, and so I'd imagine that the audience is pretty balanced. Considering how the ratings have constantly been higher than that of the first episode, it definitely has mass appeal.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this drama. A lot of it is waay cheesey, but it's so well-made that it doesn't really bother me. I also am one of those who get teary-eyed from time to time. There's at least a couple of moments every episode. Lol.
In most drama series, there is almost always one actor/actress who really stands out. For ROOKIES, it's gotta be Koide Keisuke. I've seen him in a couple of dramas before and never really thought much of him, but this drama has caused me to completely reevaluate him. Perhaps I feel this way because he gets all of the good scenes, but everything from his delivering lines to expressing some very minor facial expressions are top notch. He really brings his character to life, and has done a great job at showing how his character has grown throughout the series.

Totally didn't realize he was wearing a wig for Aniya! It took me a while to get used to, but I like this hair like that.
Nice sig, Love Angel. =)

But I think they grew on me and now I have this sudden attraction for the guy playin 'Aniya' 
I don't know what I like about him exactly ... I mean his eyebrows are shaped better than mine
