I can't believe Haru is going to go to Korea with Doctor... She's willing give up her life and happiness out of some deluded obligation to Doctor... What a dope. I'm just glad Nakaji was able to tell her how he feels before she left. Will it be enough to convince her to stay? Hmm, now that I think ...

I can't believe Haru is going to go to Korea with Doctor... She's willing give up her life and happiness out of some deluded obligation to Doctor... What a dope. Well she did fail the exam again. I'm sure that Doctor convinced her that she could teach at the Japanese schools in Korea. There a scene...

after watching the 9th episode, i have a conclusion that this drama plot is similar to Asunaro Hakusho 5 persons become friends, 3 men and 2 women, eventually being in love each other, the main male role had a girlfriend so he couldn't be together with the female main role, one is (supposedly) gay/...

condorjoe

They're probably going to kill him off but slitting one's own throat actually wouldn't be a very effective method of suicide. Most people wouldn't be able to handle the pain and complete the job (cutting all the major arteries)... but it doesn't matter since I know they'll kill him for dramatic eff...

condorjoe

^^Wow, talk about IMMATURE and rude.... get over yourself. says the pot to the ketttle. Watched ep 9: I think that is seems extreame for Linda to commit (attempt?} suicide over something so trivial as liking Nakaji. I know it must be confusing to realize he is gay, but Nakaji did not act repulsed o...

condorjoe

Watched ep 9 man that was heavy...really i knew Linda was gonna kill himself but that was just hard to watch!! That part with Nakaji and Haru with the sparklers was realy cute though! Cant wait for the subs. I wouldl say that was a pretty gruesome suicide. Slitting your own throat from ear to ear. ...

condorjoe

About Sunao, Actually Haru's having a hard time being honest too. I think anybody can tell she still really likes Nakaji. It's just that right now she's trying to get over him and trying to make her relationship with Doctor work. Linda would probably be the only one that his friends are completely ...

condorjoe

LOL. I'm having the assumption that we might be able to predict Sunao's upcoming episodes if Kitagawa really is recycling the plots. Nan chatte. :mrgreen: [/spoiler] I don't know if she's recycling the same plots. There are similarities but I wouldn't say the plot lines are exactly the same cuz the...

condorjoe

You're right that these kinds of dramas tend to be formulaic but that's hardly surprising. The key will be their handling of it. If you want to have an idea of what to expect, you have to watch some of Kitagawa's past works. Well, among Kitagawa's previous works, I've only seen Long Vacation, Beaut...

condorjoe

Eh??? You really think so? I always thought that Haru will end up with Nakaji no matter what coz...well...in most dramas, the heroine always ends up with the hero. *gets kicked for the lame excuse* xD Whatever it may be, I'm fine if Haru ends up with either Nakaji or Doctor. Both are good guys. I j...

condorjoe

That's where you lost me. The whole story is told in flashback that leads up to that one bad day. Remember, we really still don't know who it is and this was established in the first episode so there goes your glimmer of light. :roll In regards to these issues, I'm still not sure what you're talkin...

condorjoe

Well, the series finally did it. It left me speechless... Meaning, it's just so bad that I don't even have the will/strength to talk about it. I'll try in short though... Well, now I know what's happening... It seems every character is bipolar! NOW we understand! You see, these guys don't seem to h...

condorjoe

[ Interesting. I actually thought it is Kiriko's blood. We all know she is having trouble to accept and face reality. Nakaji rushing there whilst having this scared and worried look on his face made me think it is Kiriko. Peach, unlikely. She had her great suicide moment. She even had a miscarriage...

condorjoe

^ thanks for the info on ep8. jeez...I hope... the whole Peach staying a night at Nakaji's place isn't the reason why all of a sudden Haru wants to get to know Doc a bit more and even invites her in her house (though that's absolutely normal since they're officially together, but I hope they didn't...

condorjoe

You're very welcome. With Kiriko gone, it does allow Nakaji to examine his feelings for Haru more freely. If Kiriko was still in the picture, Nakaji would continue be her mistress. He had to witness that ugly side of Kiriko in order to see Haru in a different light. You're starting to see hints of ...

PREDICTION: we've said that the whole bloody sceen in the beginning was in a bathroom right?! Well for some reason I think its going to be Haru. I think its the girls bathroom in there get together place in the resturant, i forgot what they call it. I agree with some of the earlier posts that the w...

condorjoe

just watched ep. 8 About Peach They really are making Peach into the weakest person ever. At this rate it will be her behind the door , cause she can't be alone for two seconds. I do not think she slept with Nakaji, but seeing how hurt he was thinking Haru slept with Doctor (and from what I gather,...

condorjoe

Easy solution for those who are sick of the way the story is going: stop watching... If you can. :P I agree. It's amazing how much those people complain about this drama yet they continue to watch it. It's already halfway done, the poor bastards. And I wouldn't feel sorry for them cuz they are the ...

Just saw episode 7 I liked this episode. I'm still waiting for the subtitles but it's pretty straightforward. This time Haru was there for Nakaji when he was down. It was sweet that Haru gave him a a coffee can with a ganbatte she'd written. You can tell Nakaji was really touched. Nakaji was played ...

condorjoe

I think this is one of their first movie together.

condorjoe

I saw that movie starring Megumi and Juri....it's called Warau Michael . Really cheesy schoolgirl fluff. Worth watching for Juri lovers. Yup... I posted a pic on the previous page. :) Aww Eita and Juri are so cute together! I hope to see more of them even after Sunao! My sis said they look alike lo...

Gyabo!

Since they've done so many projects, wouldn't that be like giving her a grab bag of her own movies and dramas?

It has to be a cast and crew present. I'm just wondering which intern picked the present. I doubt it was Eita-san.

OMG. They look so young and very kawaii!!!

probably both.

Oh man, ep6 was boring and the preview for ep7 looks even more boring. What happened to this drama? I mean it started out really good but now it feels just its like going downhill. Well, hope coming episodes will be more exciting... Uh, why do you say it's boring? :scratch: Probably wasn't overly d...

condorjoe

I wouldn't say out of pity. Maybe out of gratitude. The point is Haru may be dating Doctor for the wrong reasons which could only lead to heartbreak. Let's not forget that Haru is trying to respect the boundaries with Nakaji especially regarding Kiriko. She doesn't want to lose him so she's trying t...

condorjoe

Exactly. At this point, there shouldn't be a need for those kind of facades. If I had to speculate... Again this is a theory. Doctor's sister telling him what she saw won't help matters. Perhaps the group finds out that Nakaji was dumped by Kiriko. This would only fuel Doctor's insecurities even mo...

Doctor tends to go overboard sometimes. His insecurities just are getting the better of him. He knows that he wasn't Haru's first choice and that she still has feelings for Nakaji. It would be a total 360 if they did turn him into a stalker. But he's not doing himself any favors if he's lying to th...

condorjoe

Episode 7 Synopsis Nakaji, is shocked because Kiriko told him to break up, and didn't even show any interest when Linda brought news that he could work as an assistant for a famous camera man. On the other hand, Haru is confused by Doctor's sudden exaggerative actions. In reality, Doctor had found ...

Just finished watching Episode 6. No subs yet, but I sort a got the gist of the episode... The last ten minutes were really good, probably even better when the subs show up. :mrgreen: You could practically see the forces pulling Haru and Nakaji together and also pulling them apart... It's a really ...

condorjoe

episode 6 is the best episode so far like most of you have mentioned before, haru started going out with doctor out of gratitude. it's obvious that she doesn't feel any true romantic emotions towards doctor. he tried to kiss her, but she didn't let him :-( (i've been wanting them to kiss, darn! :P ...

I agree with condorjoe -- it's still great watching Eita an Juri interact on screen though :) Though their characterisation is very very different from their previous characters -- somehow they don't sizzle as much for me, in this one. For Last Friends , for instance (I'm sorry we keep using the sa...

I really love Long Vacation and Orange Days.... but there's just something not right abt SuNare. It's just soap opera-ish, imho. LOL, aren't a lot of these types of J-dramas soap opera-ish? :P But yeah, there are a number of overly melodramatic scenes... Even the Doctor fight seemed rather cornball...

condorjoe

^ Wow, 1993? That was before I really started watching J-dramas consistently... Hmm, maybe it's not too surprising to see a storyline recycled 17 years later... Most viewers were probably kids at the time, if not even born yet... :sweat: Long Vacation began my love affair for Japanese dramas. That ...

condorjoe

It's great that you have these great memories of those past dramas but recycled plots are nothing new in any country. Sometimes they're well done. Other times...not so much. I rather judge a drama or movie on its own merit rather than what was done in the past. It would be easy to nitpick but also a...

The Eita's hair topic is pretty stupid. :roll I don't know about the King of dramas but the dramas he was a part of have been some of the most popular in the past. I do enjoy those performances. No doubt that's he's in demand of young Japanese actors working right now. IMO, Takuya Kimura still holds...

condorjoe

Ok, I will stop creeping and put in my 2-cents. Seems a liitle spoiler sensitive for a "discussion" forum, but to play it safe: IMO, Haru and Doctor are basically the same, both kinda naive and totally in love. But being so alike makes them a bad match in the end. Linda: Put aside the gay...

condorjoe

^ Can you stop BASHING Eita? He's gorgeous, sweet, amazing baby and I love him. His hair is so sexy and disheveled and hot. Everyone in Japan is in love with him because he's slim, slender and stunning, unlike a lot of guys there. So maybe YOU don't like him, but saying he looks like a cancer patie...

condorjoe

I really really am not liking Doctor (and other thoughts) Doctor seems way too desperate, to be honest. I mean, it's flattering and nice, but I think Haru wouldn't be doing anything but dating him out of gratitude and/or guilt. Seriously, that bit with him grabbing the knife? Some might say that's ...

condorjoe

Beating people up in a suit and with a briefcase is a WIN any day! :notworthy: Yeah getting your ass kicked by the same people instead of calling the police before playing hero is so sexy. It's a good thing Haru had enough sense to call the police to save Doctor's butt. That was pretty idiotic of D...

condorjoe

There's something pathetic about Doctor wanting Haru even though she may never really love him. Haru will be dating him out of gratitude for saving her. Plus, he's nice. I don't think this makes Haru a bad person but she's toying with Doctor's feelings. I think Doctor deserves someone who genuinely...

Regarding episode 6... Considering that Nakaji is dating Kiriko, why shouldn't Haru date Doctor?He adores her and she can't be with Nakaji. IMO, the whole drama is driven by the Nakaji-Haru dynamic. None of the characters are being truly honest with each other or to themselves. I'm curious to see wh...

The person at the beginning of episode one dying/committing suicide is probably Nakaji's dad, Nakajima Ryousuke. The apartment door even looks the same. Do the doors look the same? There was a door with an oval glass that Nakaji ran through before hitting the wooden one. The one at Nakajima Ryousuk...

Wow. Looking forward to episode 5. A few thoughts.... It looks like by the end of next episode that Nakaji and Haru will work things out. It sounds like we'll find out who's behind the bloody door by episode 5. It sounds like the safe bet is Kiriko. She is crazy. I kinda find it funny that the major...

condorjoe

There are other tidbits to the preview for episode 4

condorjoe

Just speculation on my part...It looks like Kiriko ripped Nakaji's pants. The ones returned by Haru. I wonder if Nakaji will find out the truth and call her out.

condorjoe

They came out the synopsis for episode 4 Haru had a fight with Nakaji and she goes home in the rain without umbrella.Then there is Doctor near her house. Instinctively, Haru hugged him. He confessed that he liked her.He noticed that she was crying, so he gave the bouquet to her and told her to cheer...

condorjoe

What did Haru say to Kiriko to make her fall off the deep end? That **** is crazy.

condorjoe

I do feel bad for Doctor though. His job and Haru in love with Nakaji. The poor bastard.

I can understand why Rinda feeling a bit defensive. At the same time, he does plan to write an article about them. I don't think anyone is aware of Rinda's intentions.

condorjoe

I don't know if Nakaji realizes the depth of Haru's feelings for him yet. Based on the first two episodes, Haru knows that he has a girlfriend plus she's always calling him out whenever he sends the wrong signal. Haru could easily deny her true feelings to his face and Nakaji would believe her. All ...

condorjoe

Just a few thoughts? I think Nakaji picked a long hair off Rinda's jacket. I don't think it's anything suggestive. Just proof of Rinda's boss sexually harrassing him. I think the secret is Haru's mom is having an affair with Nakaji's dad. Just a wild guess on my part...I could see the married woman ...
