But I felt that was not quite right and had the line changed into this... Do actors have the power to change the script's dialogs just like that? I would think that only the producers or the director to have such authority. 'Cos if they don't (or least in the Japanese TV industry), then it would su...

Actually I think that Kimura was offered the taiga and he turned it down for this drama instead. He was heard to say on the set once..'I should have taken the taiga' ...

Not if he had a chance to do a taiga. Given that his fellow smap member, katori shingo, was given the lead for 2004's nhk taiga, i'm not sure why that offer wouldnt have knocked on his doors by now, given his status. Unless he probably didn't want to commit the entire year to it, and among other re...

Yeah, the pace of this drama is starting to pick up after Ryoma met Katsu Rintaro.
But in my opinion I feel that there should be more Yataro, aside from his narration.
He's such a joy to watch and sometimes I feel that he should be the one who should take the lead as Sakamoto Ryoma.

Think what k361 is trying to say that, it should be 'Mother(2010)'. It aired in April this year, didn't it?

Also, I think the pace of this show is just right, any faster and they'll ruin it.

Even in that "omae ga hoshii" scene, it doesn't look natural, and something was just not right about it.
In abstract terms, it's like down payment for the airfare/hotel stay, to later find that it doesn't accept NT$.
