Thanks to "Iris Zephyr" very much for sharing so several details relating to "Nankyoku Tairiku". I love this drama and hope that people will watch it thru each actor's ability more than just "a current popularity". When I was watching this drama, I saw"Kuramochi&qu...

After rating was up from 13.2% to 19.1% last week, I was so happy for Nankyoku Tairiku's teamwork because I personally think that it is a very good drama. So, I was looking forward to see how the rating would go this past Sunday. When I saw 13.4% on dramawiki today.. I fainted!! Drama Prime Time Rep...

Was it only an eye reflection or Ren's tear when Maemi confessed him? I think it was his tear knowing that he was loved that much. I had a question to myself why Maemi decided to confess after seeing XM's writing on the window. At first, I thought she wanted to win him back. But then I realized Mae...

Finally, I can watch the last episode with sub. Personally, I like the ending. I think it's perfect. It's not too unrealistic sweet and not too dull either. For me, the last wedding scence was saying that Ren wasn't back to Maemi because he wanted someone to heal his heart but because she was his &q...

I watched the last scene of last episode (raw) more than 3 times! Although I don't understand any contents (I have to watch with sub), I came to understand clearly why they claimed about this drama in the beginning that it was Kimura's true love drama after his 10 years. It's sad that audiences misl...

I also think that the ending has been planned since the beginning about Ren/Maemi. The last episode is telling us about the meaning of adult love. It's not about tiggling jiggling feeling finding in a young couple. It's about respect, comfortable, and soul mate relationship. I, personally, really lo...

And when Maemi told him not to do anything weird to her at the night they were togeter at the workshop and Ren said he would not do anything.. What did he intend to tell her? He meant he didn't think anything to her or she would be safe with him.. I'm not sure about this one...but for some reasons,...

I don't understand what Ren meant by that.. When Ren talked about the moon, did he mean about himself or Maemi? He did talk about Regolith then mentioned about the moon.. Did he mean that he was noticed because of Regolith, or he meant that he realized about Maemi existence when he lost Regolith? I ...

I really like this episode. It is warm and I think it is because they can communicate with their hearts [since the beginning but now is when you can see it]. They know each other so well and hopefully he will realize that Maemi always remembers everything about him. I don't know why I have the feel...

On "Moon Walker" blog, there will be scences at Mt. Fuji, a log cabin, and at the river (sorry, I can't read Japanese language), all seem back to the nature. I remember that XM mentioned about living with the one she loves in a small villege, where water striders are living in clean water....

But when Ren saw Xiu Mei's first batch of Onigiri left in his office by Maemi, he thought it was made by Maemi and he ate them even though those were not mentaiko. That's why he told Maemi during their tempura dinner to improve her cooking skill. He just acted tough in front of Maemi and acted like...

At first what do we have? - a perfect cold blooded a.s.s.h.o.l.e/businessman ( KT) - an honest worker enthusiast and caring to her subordinates ( SR). in the scene of the onigiri, we can see that she knows him perfectly and that she knows exactly his needs. So my guess is: who can turn him into a g...

Actually, I see the Ren/Maemi romance comming since the first episode. Really? I mean I saw a very comfortable and easy feeling between them more than between Ren/XM but I wasn't convinced it was a romance feeling because Ren seemed to have a distance somehow. When Ren was with Maemi, I could feel ...

I couldn't remember exactly where I read, somebody said that the new drama will be aired on Jul 19. Since next week will be skipped, that means 3 weeks left. So, it is possible for total 9 episodes, which I can have hope for Ren/Maemi, can't I? Well..I have to hold my breath!! Regardless which direc...

I finally can watch episode 6 with sub. If there will be only more 2 episodes, I want to predict that Ren/Maemi supporters will be very unhappy with the ending. It is a normal pattern of loving, seperation, and then making up, isn't it? It recalls me about "Pride" somehow. This is what I g...

So do I, I enjoy watching this drama so far. I watched epi 6 without sub and think that Kimura, again, gave the excellent performance. I like the way he shows his eyes expression. It tells all about his heartache both of work and his love. I have the same feeling that he might go after XM because he...

yanie wrote: Trust me, it flopped because of the story... Adding to the fact that love stories dramas are not so popular anymore in Japan, the story is pretty much in the "mediocre to bad" category. Thanks!! yanie.. that helps me feel relieved a lot because I am sad to see this drama is l...

Ahh.. Kimura can't save this drama after all.. I feel very very sad for him. Personally, I still think that he has done a very good job on his character. I am sure he doesn't expect this low rating since he is normally in drama only once a year..and his previous dramas made a fine rating so far. It'...

Another few more days, we will know whom Rensuke asked the question to in the preview of episode 6. I am really looking forward to it. Rensuke seemed to be sad and surprised when he asked the question.. so, Is it possible that question will be for Maemi about her leaving Regolith? If it was Kazami, ...

After reading all comments, I watched episode 4 and 5 for the second time !! .. and I found myself really like this drama more than watching the first time. Soannie wrote : I think that nothing happened in the hotel room between Rensuke and Xiu Mei. kimutaku144 wrote: Has anyone considering the fact...

I just watched episode 5. Interesting!! I am not sure if Ren really falls for Xiu Mei as a true love. It doesn't sound about "love" for me. I would say it was about "a passion affair" because Ren always thinks that there is no one "wanting" him either his mother or frie...

I have tried not to bias to all characters.. but have to admit that I really don't want the story has been progressed the way it is. I haven't watched epi 5 but from Yanie's comments..ahh.. I may not surprise anymore if the rating is going down from now on. I wonder if the director is satisfied with...

I felt broken heart with Maemi.. I remember reading somewhere that this drama will make people want to love.. I wonder how since Maemi was with tear because of love..wonder..wonder.. really.

I agree that age is not a matter as long as those people can act, they are good. It's sad to hear that some actors or actresses have been "anti" just because they are aged, married, or too famous. Some young actors can't really act at all, while some are really have a very good potential. ...

Just finished watching episode 3, I think it's pretty good and explained a lot about Rensuke's behaviors. I wonder how much loneliness one will have in one's heart until reaching the point that one can do anything in order to be recognized. Is it worth for not being able to love, or to be loved, or ...

Wow!!..I surprised that the rating is dropping so fast from 22.4% to 15.6% in only 3 episodes.. Fuji TV will be very disappointed with the rating comparing to cost spending in this drama. Is Kimura's charming not working any more or going to be faded that so soon? I wonder if it is because of his ag...

Geezzz.. Renzuki's eyes were creepy and tricky when he kissed XiuMei. He kissed her only to convince her that he had a feeling for her.. but, again, his big manipulation for his own interest. He might be attracted to her beauty but the way he looked at her.. just like only want to control her. I thi...

I agree with crazypilovee that Kimura has done very well about his character. I watched him as Rensuke, not as Kimura or his previous works. His eyes showed much about his manipulation when he looked at Xiumei. On the other hand, I saw his softed heart when he looked at Maemi. Last scene with his sm...
