I've always been spiteful toward all the roles Ryo have played, but he really won me over in Last Friends. His expression changes were great, and the conflict inside him was almost tangible. Does cardboard have any expressions? :scratch: I don't get it. How come you're always a dick to Ryo? My turn...

haha I have to agree with you vehemently on this one. I think I threw up a lil in my mouth when I heard the corny ass meaning behind the name. -___-

fayenatic

it sounds like a lot of you are arguing over Masami's and Juri's artistic abilities. Juri may be more of a natural, but I'm eager to see how far Masami's potential can take her. I think it's far more interesting to see an artist transform and perfect his/her abilities than having an actor/actress be...

the writer sure as hell got it right when it she/he(?) said, "oh so theres THIS kind of ending too". -___-

damn, i feel like Hikki's song got jipped too!

fayenatic

hmmmm looks like its about time for a second run through of LF!

fayenatic

i think its quite clear that LF's success isn't entirely based on the individual cast members as evident by the mediocre ratings of the drama in the beginning. A lot of people on this board are vocal about who they like, don't like, who made the show and who didn't -- but I think its a multitude of ...

yup, that's from 1 litre of tears. That was also my first ever Ryo Nishikido's drama i've watched. I never really can look at him the same way now...

hes a pretty good actor then if you cant tell him from his character

fayenatic

I agree with what a lot of you have said about Michiru's character. Sometimes, I just want to snap some sense into her whether its about Sousuke or Takeru or Ruka<3. Because of the indirect agony she's caused our favorite character, it's easy to overlook her saving grace. That despite her naivete, t...

Anyway, can't wait for THursday! Like many of you here, I seriously want a ONE on ONE private moment between Ruka and Michiru!!! PLEASE!!! :wub: yeah i know right! things have been pretty much resolved for almost everyone regardless of how shortchanged it really is(takeru's personal flimsy 3 minute...

fayenatic

I can understand why some of you may be disgruntled with the ending now....The final episode left some loose ends but also tied up some smaller details which was quite nice of them to remember. The scene between Eri and Ruka was note worthy esp. since it could be quickly written off. The same goes f...

fayenatic

nah i totally agree that Ruka and Takeru's relationship goes beyond that of lovers. :]

fayenatic

anyone know what the final ratings were??

fayenatic

lol im pretty dang sure that realistically only Eri and Ogurin could afford a place like that! There's no way that either Ruka or Takeru could make enough with their jobs to afford such a swanky place like that!

fayenatic

omg! this is so great that you guys are subbing filipino dramas!! im excited!! thanks a lot!!

i am one unsatisfied viewer XD and even if i'm still watching for ueno juri and eita, i think this drama had more potential than what was given, from about episode 6 they were stretching it without giving any actual conclusions to anybody. espeicaly takeru.

ruka and takeru are so similar...what they would do for the one theyre in love with....:\
you kinda want ruka to end up with michiru for ruka's sake...but u also want takeru to end up

Like many people have said, Manhattan is like any other city. There's the upper class section, the cool/hip section, and then you've got Chinatown and Little Italy and so on and so forth. WRONG! okay fine, partially you're correct. But NYC is like no other city. Most long time NYers(not trying to i...

fayenatic

A different opinion about the ending. As to Ruka, I'm afraid she is the one who will die, probably in an accident while racing. :-( If she were still alive, Michiru wouldn't have such inner monologues since the 1st episode :crazy: lets just pray that its not the ending the writer wrote! but thats b...

im quite sad to see the end of this dorama...what other one wud give us so much angst? :\

fayenatic

do any of the cast members ever mention in any interviews why they decided to do such a controversial dorama??

fayenatic

Nah, everyone is entitled to his opinion. I just think calling LF "weak" is a little too harsh. If I had to choose a word, I think ambitious is a better description.

Anyway! i Cant wait till tomorrowwwwwwwwww

fayenatic

if you think about it, theres really so much the writer can do within 11 brief episodes. you can't expect the writer to actually flesh out each of the 6 characters in one drama -- this calls for at least another 4-6 episodes. I think the fact that the viewers have grown to love at least three of the...

I think you're giving him too much credit... His character is totally dimensionless. I suppose if he were playing The Terminator, it would be fine, but the dude's a human being... Sort of. You gotta blame the writer(s) for making him this way... I wish I knew what their intent was, but the characte...

Michiru/Sosuke scene I find it a little weird the way Michiru just suddenly left Takeru and accidentally bumped into Sosuke like that. Even if Sosuke have been stalking her, how did he manage to get into the shop before her? And the important thing she wanted to buy was...umbrellas? Hmm...I think I...

I love Ueno Juri's acting as Ruka, but after watching four episodes... I don't think I can stand to watch the rest. DV is not acceptable, and although what Michiru does and feel toward Sousuke accurately portrays how some abused women are, I just can't stand watching her hug the dude at the end of ...

I tried to translate the preview from the official cite... I think I figured some of this out Conserning Ruka and Takeru: After the confession she will not tell anything to him. The moment was lost. But she will ask her coach to cover her. He will help her and tell everyone that they are dating. Af...

fayenatic

Way to homewreck, Takeru! Watching episode 6 and seeing the Michiru X Ruka interactions reminded me of any normal couple: the whole 'I'm not mad at you' but I really secretly am and the bit about the barrier between two people in which one is in love with the other. I, mean, its not Takeru's fault t...

fayenatic

Sure, of course I'll keep an open mind. But I'm still hoping Ruka's gender confusion is simply being caused by her being in Japan. Things are very cut and dried here. Even in the lesbian community there are only really butches and femmes. There's no middle ground and it's very disconcerting. One of...

fayenatic

I agree. The only person that can help Michiru is Michiru. Ruka just needs to better understand Michiru instead of soley trying to keep her away from Sousuke. The only thing Ruka has ever wanted to do was to protect Michiru -- even when they were in high school. That's what you do when you truly lo...

fayenatic

Ruka's voiceover is always said in present tense of the episode. Unlike Michiru and Takeru, we never hear Ruka from the future speak about the current episode.

I'm wondering about the 好き correlation from Michiru to Takeru as well. I really like how different the themes in this show are, so I hope this doesn't turn into some really bizarre love triangle (no pun intended). Wow, I can't believe that. It's actually completely bizarre to think of Michiru and T...

What I loved most about this movie was that it gave us the ending beforehand. I don't think the writer's objective was to just tell a love story - but rather reminding us to find the strength to live on for someone else.

I would like to think that Aki would become a picture book editor...and Saku? Maybe he'll be a writer...since he seems to have a knack for writing anyways....

I agree with the main message about moving on in life whatever life throws at you. I guess that is why i like these "slice of life" shows... Although I tend not to like shows that show the ending and then retell the tale, I believe that "death/destination" was not the main focus...
