I also agree that Konkatsu! is anything but slow. The pacing is actually quite elegant. So far I've only seen the first two episodes but I'm already loving the show. Aside from the great acting from all involved parties, the camerawork and editing is first rate too.

i don't want to say that ueto's character is stupid, but she is! hopefully someone can clear this up for me, but it seems like she is in love with kuniyuki's character? i dunno, i don't get it. that guy's about as interesting as tepid water. blargh.
is sato ryuta doomed to unrequited love? the same thing happened in utahime...and gachi boy...lol so sad

ep5.
Hidden:
Aw, I like Kuniyuki. Yeah he's a little boring, but I thought he was really endearing messing around with Makoto's kids. Also, I think it's a nice balance for a couple to have one hyper person and one laid back person.
That being said, Kuniyuki/Haruno has made NO progress so far, it's ridiculous! It was obvious since the first episode that she was in love with him, and he still doesn't seem interested in her. Maybe I just shouln't have assumed they would be 'the couple' in this drama.
Question: is the jerk in the glasses trying to close down the whole street, or just the tonkuni shop? Or neither?

I don't hate him, it's just he's so bland lol I can't even muster up any strong animosity towards him because I'm so indifferent to his character. The only person I really dislike is Yuko, mainly cuz I don't like the actress. Even then, I want all of them to find a mate and live happily ever after muahahaha
I agree about the Kuni/Haru relationship, not seeing any chemistry there. I'm guessing it's cause they're pushing the Kuni/Kyo pairing, which works much better.

I am more and more curious about takumi's bandage it's in a different position everyday. What is he hiding underneath that? he is very suspicious but funny?

Has anyone watched episode 8 yet? I just saw it
Hidden:
I'm liking Haruno a lot. Though I really don't see what she sees in Kuniyuki (you guys are right, he is pretty boring), she's a little childish and gets jealous, and adorable. Kuniyuki is pretty dense not to figure out why she is always upset...
The substory with ku-cho is just getting weird though... what was up with that attack??

Yeah I saw ep 8 too
Hidden:
And I thought the stalker subplot was a waste of time. I could care less what happens to that lady, but the big guy who works for her is funny. Can't stand the guy in the glasses, I don't get why Yuko is so into him.
I really liked the way they filmed Haruno waiting on those steps, surrounded by couples. And she looked so cute when Kuniyuki found her. Hopefully Kuni can get it together now that he knows she likes him.
And how sad is Shige position right now? And why do so many Jdramas have this love triangle, with the funny friend who doesnt get the girl, and the quiet guy who does? I like this drama's take on it more than most, just because Haruno's character is so refreshing. Kinda makes me wish Ueto Aya had starred in Hana Kimi . . .

I know, who gives a crap about ku-cho anyway?? She's just the employer of Kuniyuki, and a kind of overbearing and threatening one at that. Whatever. Somehow glasses-guy meets the requirements of Yuko, but I'm not sure why. He doesn't seem particularly rich or have good connections (after all, he works at the same office as Kuniyuki & friends, who she so outright rejected). The tall guy is pretty funny though, and props to the lady who kicked ass on the stalker.

Yeah this was really cute! Especially having lived in Japan, there are tons of places with stairs that people just kinda chill at like that -- sure they're not *all* full of couples, but to Haruno-chan, waiting for Kuniyuki, it certainly would have seemed that everyone else there was in a couple. Poor girl!

Hey, I would have done anything for a break from Horikita Maki...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the drama!!! Just watched ep4 with sub and I burst out laughing many times. The most interesting dorama in many many seasons I would say.

Well it looks like ratings are not that high and dropped off after the first episode or two, so I guess people aren't enjoying it that much... but I do have at least one friend there who is watching it, so I'm kind of surprised to hear that it's not that popular...

I can see why. It's an OK drama but can get boring in some scenes. i am watching it becasuse of Tanihara and i find Kuniyuki kind of boring guy. if this drama did not have any good actors, its rating would be even less. Sato is always a delight to watch and i think he is the one keeping the drama alive
Hidden:
it is annoying how kunyuki does not have slightest idea about how haruno feels about him.
but this drama, does have its good moments and that's why i am watching it.
