this reminds me a lot of Sex and the City (the three women friends remind me of three of the four friends there) and also a little bit of Bridget Jones. What a great change for a Japanese drama, and I am enjoying it so far.

sunflower63

thanks for the info nosnoop, it's a pity as I thought it did better. Yes I can see that the ratings are dropping and personally I am not finding the latest Jdramas as interesting as they were a few years ago...it seems that they are lacking creativity and focusing mostly on detective/medical type dr...

sunflower63

true, all these dramas were great but how come Rich Man Poor Woman is not listed? If I remember well it was the one with the highest share in the summer.

sunflower63

I absolutely loved Jin and Jin 2. They are Japanese period dramas and if you don't mind a few very detailed medical scenes, they are masterpieces.

sunflower63

Sham26, THANKS VERY MUCH INDEED !!!! I couldn't find them anywhere really...I am so thankful to your kind help. Have a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!! And also to everyone else here on D-Addicts. ;-)

sunflower63

Hi everyone, I have been searching desperately for the Eng. subs of this but couldn't find them on the darskmurfsub site or anywhere else. Can someone kindly post me the link please for them ? Thanks so much.

sunflower63

I think that the reason why it is doing so well is because it is about an unconventional woman surgeon who goes against all the rules and we know how attached to the rules are the Japanese. It reminds me of the American series Doctor House a little but I find it even more original as it involves a v...

sunflower63

@Peggy, no I haven't finished it yet as I am at Ep. 17 so I have no idea of how it will end. What I enjoy about these dramas (I am thinking of King2Hearts too) is that I get to learn a lot about Korean history which is something that I really had no idea about. I did study World history in High Scho...

sunflower63

I am loving this drama although I am only at Ep. 14 so far. I am surprised that there is not a long discussion about it on here. In any case whenever I think I have seen the most beautiful Korean drama, another one comes along which is even nicer and this happened now with the Bridal Mask. The story...

sunflower63

I download the episodes from here on D-addicts and there are the English subtitles too. This is a great site!

sunflower63

I have enjoyed the first three episodes so far. KT plays his role very well and very naturally as usual and I am appreciating this totally different plot from his past dramas. This is a drama that makes you think and learn not to take things for granted and I appreciate KT for choosing this story.

sunflower63

I read this long thread whilst I was watching the two dramas JIN and JIN 2 and wanted to say that I enjoyed all of your comments. I also found the subject of time travelling backwards and forwards a little confusing so I only concentrated on the main storyline of Jin being in the Edo era and trying ...

sunflower63

I thought Tamaki Hiroshi's hair in Guilty looked really good as it was long and sexy coupled with his moustache! In any case I enjoyed the second episode of Kekkon Shinai. I like the chemistry between the two female leads which is great...it's the first time I see two women living together and havin...

sunflower63

yes I also found this episode a little bit slow but then again most of the Japanese first episodes are so as far as many of the dramas that I have watched so far goes. I personally imagine the plot something like both the female leads falling in love with the flower man and him not knowing which one...

sunflower63

yes Peggy, I can see what you mean here. I also ask myself what I find so great about him as in many ways he seems just like an ordinary person and probably this is what makes him interesting for me. Besides the fact that his smile is absolutely charming I am sure there are much more attractive Kore...

sunflower63

Hi all, I enjoyed this drama and heard that they also made a movie out of it. If anyone knows of a link where I could find this subbed in English (also in streaming) I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

sunflower63

This was an amazing drama! I loved it to bits and it was the first time for me to see LMH and I have nothing but praises for him. The story of this drama, the acting, the OST everything was absolutely perfect and each episode left me emotionally involved and wanting to know more. IThis went straight...

sunflower63

This was a great, great drama for me and one of the best Japanese dramas that I have watched in a long time. The acting was great, the story superb, the settings very well filmed and the OST particularly suitable. I particularly appreciated the way they focused a lot on the friendship between Hyuga ...

sunflower63

Ahh how lucky Keikan!! Thanks I think I should wait and be surprised...I am Italian and live in Italy you see so the fact that it is shot in Rome makes me even more curious. I'll just wait a little longer and hope they won't take too long.

sunflower63

This show can't end like Kdramas as the next episode will be the last so they will probably declare their love to each other in the very last minute like it is usually done in Jdramas. In any case, I think she did the right thing to totally disappear and not answer his phonecalls as it was the only ...

sunflower63

I enjoyed this episode as it showed a much 'softer' side of Hyuga and how he slowly came to realize his feelings. Yes I was also upset that he met his mum with Yoko but if he had been with Makoto she probably would have made him confess that he was her son at one point so it is better for him to bre...

sunflower63

Thanks for the very useful info Keikan. I looked for the streaming of the movie on dramacrazy but couldn't find it. I will have to wait for it to be on download later on.

sunflower63

Hi all I am looking for this too...is it on-line already by any chance?

sunflower63

Hi all, I finished watching this and I agree that the plot was interesting until ep 12 and then it became cheesy and not interesting. I never really felt the chemistry between the two lead actors and the lead actress seemed quite different to how she was in Coffee Prince (her face seemed bigger). I ...

sunflower63

I have to agree that Makoto wasn't portrayed up to Ep. 8 as a very smart woman and this bothered me very much indeed, especially for the fact that she was running around after Hyuga like a puppy and being called idiot many times without reacting. However in Ep. 9 something has slowly started changin...

sunflower63

Hi, I just finished watching this. As I said above it did get better in the second half and I appreciated this drama in the end especially as it gives such a deep insight on the political world which is similar in all the parts of the world. The lead actress was absolutely the best for me as she und...

sunflower63

thanks for the clarification, however I posted my request on this forum after having tried many times to find it and I am thankful that someone helped me to find the right webpage. In my future researches I will try with partial titles like you suggest as I had no idea this worked too. One lives and...

sunflower63

Hi Keikan I have now reached episode 14 and as you said it did get better. The ball started rolling for me after ep. 10 as in my opinion it changed rather drastically from a rather silly and light plot to a much deeper and involving one. Probably this happens often in Kdramas but it is the first tim...

sunflower63

Hi, thanks so much for your help. Indeed I know how to use the research link as I have already watched more than 60 dramas thanks to D-addicts. The problem here was that I was looking for The Greatest Love (which is the correct title) and the search would only take me to the Spanish subs links, wher...

sunflower63

Hi I am looking for a Discussion and also the downloads with Eng subs for The Greatest Love, can someone point me to the right links here on D-addicts please? Thanks for your help.

sunflower63

...err, I am at ep. 6 so far and I am finding this drama a little bit silly (except for the tango dancing scene which was great!) and with no particular romantic sparkle between the two lead actors as yet. I am going to hold on and carry on watching it because I have faith in all the positive review...

sunflower63

I have just finished Big, which I enjoyed notwithstanding the negative reviews, and I now just started City Hall. I did not enjoy the first episodes so far but I am sure the best parts are still to come.

sunflower63

For me this episode wasn't too bad although I never read the manga of this. I only watched the first version and I think this one has a more up to date viewpoint and I am coming to apprieciate the main actor too.

sunflower63

Hi all, I am not sure what this discussion thread is really about as I found myself reading stuff that had nothing to do with it so I skipped many postings. However for what concerns this drama I can say that I agree with the fact that the story is not particularly appealing or believable, however G...

sunflower63

I agree that this was a great episode (although I read somewhere that it had the lowest ratings in Japan?) as I thought the acting was absolutely superb. It was almost possible to physically feel the tension between the two male lead actors and this is what good acting is all about. I am hoping that...

sunflower63

Keikan this review is really encouraging for me. I am going to start watching this in a few days and I am now really looking forward to it.

sunflower63

Hi all, I just finished watching for the second time Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy and I just started watching Big. I have to say that I am noticing some great similarities in the plots (high school student falling for his teacher) but we will see how it develops. It is also strange to see Gong Yoo...

sunflower63

Hi all, I agree with this last post...the fact that she takes all the comments like 'you're stupid' and so on without blinking is really a little overwhelming. I have noticed this so often (mostly in Jdramas) that the lead female character always seems weaker and has to chase the lead male character...

sunflower63

ahh, I only just read this. I am sorry to hear that this drama is not so convincing. I somehow figured this out by seeing that the percentages of the Japanese viewers was getting lower and lower as the show moved on. I still would like to judge for myself if some kind soul would finally pick up the ...

sunflower63

great news!! I will look forward to this new drama.

I look forward to seeing him in his new drama this fall called Priceless.

Can I join the club of the addicted to Gong Yoo? I watched Coffee Prince and I am watching twice Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy, next on my list is Big. I hope to be able to stop soon...

sunflower63

Hi all, I am about to start watching this after Coffee Prince, Secret Garden and Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy. I hope it is as good as these three as I really enjoyed them and will certainly rewatch them all again.

sunflower63

I just finished watching this and I really, really enjoyed it. I had seen Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince and initially it was a little weird to see him a little younger and in the role of a student. However, little by little he really conquers the viewer and it is impossible not to be deeply touched by a...

sunflower63

Hi Peggy, thanks for your recaps and I hope you are feeling better now. There are still no signs of anyone picking up the project of subbing this drama so it seems we will have to wait a long time to be able to see it. I saw that the ratings in Japan have been going down slightly and it is a pity as...

sunflower63

thanks Issy,
I will check the link that you posted, infact I am looking mainly for romantic comedies as I have already finished watching almost all the Japanese ones available. Thanks for your help.

sunflower63

thanks for your encouragements, as I have almost finished Coffee Prince I wondered where I could go on from here? I have to say that I much prefer Jdramas (I have watched 60 so far) and will carry on mostly watching those, but if I wanted to watch a second Kdrama where would you suggest me to go on ...

sunflower63

I am watching my first ever Korean drama which is Coffee Prince, I am at Episode 13 and so far so good. I am enjoying it...

sunflower63

I agree that it all seems out of the blue compared to the first version, however the acting in this drama is also pretty good and the actor playing Onizuka is believable in his role. I think this will be mostly appreciated by the new generations who haven't seen the old one and maybe they will decid...

sunflower63

Hi everyone, I agree that this was a great drama but I wonder if anyone thinks that the special, and the film in particular, were quite disappointing? I couldn't seem to find the same chemistry as in the drama and the story to me just dragged along especially in the film.

sunflower63

Hi all, I totally agree with this discussion!!! I have watched all the possible Japanese romantic dramas until now (past and present) and I have noticed exactly the same as you all about the fact that most of the new dramas are detective stories and romance is totally lacking. What a shame as the pa...

sunflower63

Thanks so much for this K361, I had searched in the torrents files but couldn't find it. Thanks to you I could get the right link. Arigatou.

sunflower63

Thanks for your recaps Peggy, I was very sorry to read about your eye surgery and I hope you are getting better now. By what you say the role that Shota Matsuda plays sounds great and I am not surprised as he is a very good actor indeed. I found out that the character played by Tamaki Hiroshi will n...

Hi, where is the raw of this episode here on D-addicts, please? Thanks for your help.

sunflower63

1. Nankyoku tairiku
2. Hotaru no Hikari
3. Nodame Cantabile
4. My Boss My Hero
5. Long Vacation

sunflower63

I am waiting for a link with subs too...please let me know if anyone has it.

sunflower63

Hi Auvers, for what concerns your remark to a part of my comment I agree with what you state that Japanese acting is generally quite over the top in all their comedy dramas but in most of the ones that I have seen and appreciated (My Boss My Hero, Nodame Cantabile, Don Quixote, Mukodono etc.) this t...

sunflower63

Don Quixote (2011) is a comedy Jdrama that was pretty successful, I watched it too and thought it was pretty good.

sunflower63

Thanks so much for this clarification. This means that they were not related 100% and I personally did not find this relationship so scandalous as it was made out to be. I quite liked the ending as they persevered and decided to move to a totally different environment where they could live their rel...

sunflower63

Nodame Cantabile and Hotaru no Hikari have some funny moments, maybe they are not all RFLMAO but they are still light comedy dramas and very much worth watching.

sunflower63

Hi, I personally enjoy your summaries very much indeed and since we are stuck at Ep. 5 with the subbing, by the time I manage to watch all the episodes I am sure I will have forgotten many of the details. It sounds like the story is becoming really intriguing...I am so sorry to see that the share of...

sunflower63

I watched this drama quite a few months ago and I was also left with the doubt that they were not really related but that he had been adopted by her father. In this case the whole story would not have been a scandal though, so I don't understand why this was stated in one of the first episodes.

sunflower63

Thanks again for your kind updates. At least with these updates we can get a gist of how the story is going which is why they are so precious. I wanted to ask you about the character of Minamoto Yoshitomo of the Genji side, played by Tamaki Hiroshi, how is he getting on? Thanks very much indeed for ...

sunflower63

Thanks again Peggy, I have a lot to look forward to and I hope some kind soul will pick up the subbing again soon.

sunflower63

Peggy, thanks so much for the updates. I am still stuck at ep. 5 as I am waiting for the subs to be posted on here. I wish there was a way to get hold of the American subs somehow. In any case it sounds all very interesting and I look forward to watching it all very soon.

sunflower63

I'm afraid I don't agree with the post above as I think that it is the character of Ataru that makes the whole drama so original. I think there have been plenty of dramas that dealt with chemistry between detectives, but it is the first time that such an unusual person is involved in the story. I ag...

sunflower63

Thanks for these interesting ratings, I hope Ataru won't go down too much as it is good. The third episode infact was a little bit weaker compared to the first two but I am sure it has a lot of potential for the coming episodes.

sunflower63

Hi, I seem to be the only one so far who didn't enjoy the first episode of this drama. The acting was waay over the top for me and Komikado did absolutely nothing to raise my interest or make it fun. This is one of the few dramas that I will not carry on watching as I deleted the second episode whic...

sunflower63

thanks so much Jinzhi, you're an angel and this is why I love this site so much!! Everyone is eager to help eachother. I am so happy that I can finally watch the first episode of this drama.

sunflower63

Could someone kindly send me the link for the subs on d-addicts as I can't find them? Thanks so much

sunflower63

Does anyone know if these episodes will be subbed in English soon? Thanks for your help.

sunflower63

Thanks for your updates as it is really frustrating for those of us who are still stuck at ep. 5 of this taiga drama. We will have a lot of episodes to catch up with once the subbing gets going again if it ever will do so.

sunflower63

Hi Peggy and Verbish, thanks for your replies. Yes I am in Italy and I am downloading the raws with subtitles when they are available. It is good to know that in the US many more episodes have been already subbed in English. I wonder if it is possible to find these episodes with subs anywhere on the...
