THERE'S A SECOND SEASON!?!

Hell to the YES! I loved the first season. It's the only J-drama I've watched more than twice. I hope this doesn't disappoint.

JC

Say what you will, but as frustrating as this drama was, it's still nowhere near the train wreck that Last Friends was. I'm going to have to roll with Last friends . I actually burnt that to DVD. I haven't even bothered to download Sunao ni narenakute . Last friends was a mess too, but it compelled...

JC

So, I just watched episode 9... So it was Linda behind the door! I did NOT see that one coming. Episode 9 was a decent episode because it finally dealt with who I thought from the start was one of the better characters. Linda always seemed decent, caring and didn't annoy me how the others did. He s...

JC

A decent drama with a horrendous OP and ED. I wish they'd stick with 'Great DJ' by The Ting Tings but that's over. And whoever supervised the music in this production should be fired immediately. I agree. The handling of the music does get slightly better (unlike the story). But the music was a MES...

JC

*LMAO!!* The only thing missing from that was "Gyabo!"

JC

Watching episode 7 and... ...Damn. Dr.'s an a**hole! I can see him abusing Haru at some point. Either emotionally with his clueless pig headed comments, or by introducing his 5 fingers to her face at the realization he doesn't have her heart and never will. It would be another plot line into an alr...

JC

I agree that Eita's character in this drama is annoying. From the start I just didn't like Nakaji. He comes off like an bum hole. He's one of the least likeable characters for me. More so than that spoilt brat and sour faced b***h in Haru's class. It's just crazy how Nakaji does the smallest thing,...

JC

I really am not in love with this drama. I cannot help but feel like such a good cast is being wasted. But I will stick with it to see how it all ends. I can't help but wonder about Linda, who seems to have gotten himself into a right pickle... I can't imagine him ever confessing to Nakaji. It's go...

JC

[quote]Yeah, his hair (and ears) seem to be his trademark... You'd think the makeup/hair department would do something to make his hair less of a standout than the actor himself.[/quote] It didn't stop the folk in Nodame cantabile 's wardrobe department dying it blonde and styling it. [quote]He is ...

JC

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 patient...

JC

Pity dating!? Hell nawwwwww... Haru to start dating Dr. out of pity? *shrugs* Well, I guess we need some catalyst for Dr. to turn psycho and become as f**ked up as the other characters. Having his head be slammed against a whiteboard, water poured on his head by his boss at work, having his work be...

JC

What Dr. did should have had Haru take her forehead to the floor and ask for marriage. I mean, Damn! Women have asked for marriage for less in other dramas. I also think she owes it to Dr. to hit up HMV and Tower records and buy the entire of Tohoshinki's discography

JC

I'm not liking how Nakaji is being made the centre of everybodies attention within the Twitter crew. Haru loves him. Linda seems to lust for him. Kiriko clings to him. Dr. envies him. And I'm betting Peach is going to develop feelings for Nakaji too now. Although I hope not. Peach went up in my lik...

JC

This drama is depressing. I usually watch J-drama's whilst eating dinner, but I'm afraid I might slash a wrist with my knife in a momentary moment of depression, and wander the streets for school kids with crack. Every happy moment comes with somebody get s**tted on right after. And there's only so...

JC

I HATE Eita's hair. It's like producers give him free reign with his style. Because he seems to always look the damn same in every drama these days. The last drama I saw him in with hair that look some-what styled and a set of clothes that didn't look like they were from a flea market was Sapuri.

JC

Like I said, Nodame is so ingrained in everyone's mind... Anyone unfamiliar with the Nodame character wouldn't be making that association. Of course they wouldn't make the association. How would they if they've not watched Nodame cantabile in the first place?! Juri's role in this drama reminds me o...

JC

[quote="yoda smgee"]I think I'll like this drama more than Last Friends simply because Nagasawa Misami or however you spell her name isn't in this one. She was so annoying that I almost liked seeing her get hit[/quote] I'm glad I wasn't the only one :lol But as annoying as she was in Last...

JC

It's really odd about Linda. It never occurred to me he was gay Oddly enough, I actually thought he was gay from the first episode. Something about this look... http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6835/onit.jpg ...made me think "Hold up!" :lol And then of course when Nakaji brushes somethi...

JC

I think Peach and Linda are going to end up together. Linda being gay won't mean jack. He'll probably end up with her to be a Father to the child, because ***** sure as hell isn't going to return his feelings (unless ****** decides he's gonna put his fingers in as many pies as possible - and even i...

JC

Okay. I have to give my 2 pence on Tetsuji Tamayama's character... [spoiler]I'm wondering what the deal is going to be with "Linda". Even at this stage, it's looking like we're going to get cop outs where his 'sexuality' may be concerned. In episode 1 there was a hint that "Linda&quo...

JC

Am I the only one who hates Takashi Tsukamoto's character and thinks Masato is a pr**k? I really cannot stand him. He's so damn selfish and keeps playing Saki for a b***h.

I really hope she doesn't end up with him in the end

JC

I'm LOVING this drama so far. The fight scene in the 4th episode has to be one of the best fights I've seen in a J-drama

JC

I think they might have played the whole of The Ting-Tings album within the first 10 minutes of this episode.

JC

*LMAO* @ this topic.

JC

I really like Ueno Juri's hair style. It's boyish, but she carries it well. Only so many women could rock a hairstyle like that and still look sexy and own it. She reminds me alot of Hikaru Utada. I thought she looked like her at certain moments in Nodame cantabile , but now she'd adopted the same b...

JC

I'm not too sure. I love Eita and Abe Sadayo, but I've never thought about them in lead roles. Some actors just make brilliant secondary characters and Eita and Abe Sadayo do just that.

JC

I'm loving this drama so far. Tamaki Hiroshi and Ayase Haruka are both awesome. The last 2 dramas I watched (and loved) were Nodame cantabile and Hotaru no hikari , so I'm thrilled to have a drama with these 2 as leads. It's great that it's being subbed so quickly too. :D Tamaki Hiroshi looks so gau...

JC

At whoever said Ikuta Toma and Tamaki hiroshi look alike - it did cross my mind a couple of times too. It's their faces, cheeky grins and also their deep voices. Plus they're not afraid to make complete arses of themselves in the roles they play. I first saw Tamaki Hiroshi in Remote and we was reall...

JC

Holy frick! This looks awesome.

*hits link and downloads*

JC

He was funny in Kakure Karakuri. I personally think it's his best role because it showed a different side to his acting. His character was so much more goofy and animated in comparison to the cool, laid back, passive characters he normally plays.

JC

Hmmm... This is difficult. And knowing how indecisive I am, I'll probably change my mind. But regardless, Stand up!! would always be in the list.

1) Stand up!!
2) Hotaru no hikaru
3) Nodame cantabile

JC

I'm watching this now and I'm liking it so far. That Mino is a **** for going to Kagoshima with Eisuke though. I couldn't stand her from the start and I flat out hate her now. She's so rude and annoying. I hope she ends up alone at the end.

JC

That last girl looks scary.

JC

Hey! A place for UK dwelling D-addicts!

JC

I'm not a huge fan of Ayumi Hamasaki. Dare I say it, I find her overrated. And her face scares me. She looks like an android.

JC

I just got done watching the 4th episode and I have to say, it was a load of bull****. It was a bit too much. The whole doll with powers and that woman coming back from the grave did nothing for me. The acting is usually pretty bad in this show, but this episode took the biscuit. I was cringing at m...

JC

Liking the hell out of Yukan club so far and I've only watched the first 2 episodes!!! :D I was wondering. Near the end of the second episode when Noriko says to Bido "But you weren't of any use at all" it looks like everybody breaks character and laughs. http://img441.imageshack.us/img441...

JC

Yuri was well cast. The girl looks EXACTLY as she does in that picture. I'm currently watching episode 2 and I pissed myself laughing when Miroku started to cry and sing to his Dad on the phone. I rewound that bit so many times!

JC

Even though I haven't watched it all, First kiss is a bore. It's the only drama that I've watched where I've felt nothing for the characters and couldn't care less where the story goes.

JC

* :lol @ the Nodame outtake* You can tell in that scene that Tamaki Hiroshi wanted to laugh. You can see a smile creeping across his face. This is such a cool drama. I've only just started watching it. ( :thumleft: to SARS for hardsubbing it!) Nodame gets beat up so BAD! She got punched, thrown and ...

JC

I wasn't too keen on this series to begin with, but I'm slowly growing to like it. The problem I'm having getting into this drama is that none of the characters seem all that likeable. I've only just started watching Nodame Cantabile and cannot BELIEVE the difference between the roles Koide Keisuke ...

JC

It's wierd. But I forget sometimes that Ashiya is a girl pretending to be a boy. :lol Horikita plays the role so well that during the moments in episodes where she's in full on boy mode, I tend to forget. I also thought that hair cut was a wig until I saw her on a TV show out of character and realiz...

JC

im sad cuz the tv ratings are gradually dropping every week=(... but I STILL LOVE IT:) Really? I dunno how ratings for this show are dropping when it's SO GOOD!! I love it. I think it's so funny and the acting is over the top without being annoying. This is more Getsukyuu material than First kiss i...

JC

I'm just watching episode 3 and I can't believe...

JC

This drama is the s**t!! It's so funny. I struggle to get through episodes as I'm constantly rewinding parts. :lol I can't wait to see how Nakatsu will react when he finds out Ashiya is actually a girl. D'ya think we'll get a "HOMO JA NAI!!! HOMO JA NAI!!!" http://img339.imageshack.us/img3...

JC

First kiss isn't rubbish. But it just isn't grabbing me. It seems so slow. Gekidan Hitori and Abe Sadao are great, but everything else just seems lacking. I'll stick with it, but I really do find myself switching off whilst I'm watching episodes. I found it difficult to get past the beginning of th...

JC

Also, that fat kid in the dungarees makes me laugh. He's probably gonna end up popping up in every episode as a running gag. When I saw him come off the escalator in the 3rd episode I pissed myself laughing, thinking to myself "Oh, it's HIM again!!?"

JC

In that case, it'd be cool to see him take on a more energetic role. I can see him getting typecast as the laid back, quite stoic characters though. He has that look about him. Regardless, there's something likeable about him though.

JC

Yuta Hiraoka's acting? Yeah his acting isn't very good in this series... It's kinda on and off for him I suppose. I dunno whether it's intentional for him to act all awkward and mismatched or if it's just the actor playing him funny. He was cool in Proposal Daisuken though. I thought he played the ...

JC

I'm not too sold on this drama yet. Everytime I ty to watch the first episode all the way through I lose interest. I'm gonna stick with it until the end though and am downloading the second episode as I write this. I think Abe Sadao and Gekidan Hitori are awesome. I also love the theme song. I LOVE ...

JC

I just finished watching Bambino! The ceremony was really touching. Once again Oda-san set me off.

Ya gotta love Oda-san!

JC

Ooooooooo okay! I've just begun watching the final episode now. Oda-san has just smiled again and it's already set me off!

JC

Funnily enough I liked how this drama started despite many others hating it at first. The Dad gets on your nerves initially, but you warm to him. I think the drama gets good after episode 3 because the characters aren't so over the top. The acting was WAY to cheesy in the first couple of episodes. I...

JC

I love the theme song! It's by the same guy that did the theme to Sore wa totsuzen arashi no you ni isn't it? I LOVED that song and this one sounds the same. :D It's also cool to see Gekidan Hitori and Abe Sadao back in a drama together. I also tend to like the characters these 2 play and it's great...

JC

Awwww, don't tell me the ending is all emotional! I've just finished watching episode 8 for the 2nd time and that sapped me out of emotion. :lol Oda-san's smile did it for me. I loved episode 8. I can't wait to see how this drama ties up. This has been a pretty solid drama so far - I've really enjoy...

JC

I only started watching this Drama today. Not even through the first episode and I like it already. That head chef dude is Shinohara Ryoko's husband isn't it? :O The dude is so OLD!! Also why is it when white people star in J-dramas that their acting is always terrible? Those white folk in Roppongi ...

JC

The girl that plays Rei is alright. But the characters she plays can be annoying sometimes. I know she got on my nerves in Sailor Fuku to Kikanjuu . I think Rei in general is just an annoying character. With the way she's always putting Ken down it's no wonder he gave her the cold shoulder on severa...

JC

This drama gets a thumbs up from me purely because I saw a Wii remote in the first episode!

JC

His acting seems cool. He fits in with the rest of the cast. Really camped up, emotive and almost cartoon like. Hanayome to Papa is a really cool show, I like it. I haven't seen any other dramas which feature Junnosuke, so I've got nothing to compare it to. I saw one episode of that Rowing boat dram...

JC

Hana Yori Dango 2 is alright. There was something about the first I preferred, but 2 is cool. I like how other characters are getting more screentime. Like Yuki, Nishkado etc. It's just the whole skirting around the issue thing is getting old now. Makino also doesn't seem as strong as she was the fi...

JC

The music in the second episode reminded me alot of Kurosagi. A bit of a random thing to say, but it did.

JC

Hana Yori Dango 2 seems cool so far, but I'm not feelin' the depiction of the black dudes in the 1st episode. The thief and the thugs were all black, throwing the word "f***" around every other word. I felt uneasy about that, because it gives the impression to those who may be watching in...

JC

Yeah, It's been on yesasia for a while. I only saw it for the 1st time in a cellphone store on Saturday, but it's exclusive to this ONE particular store for the time being and they've only got it available in pink and as fly as the pink looks, I'd rather have the black. Shame it doesn't come in whit...

Ah well. His loss.

I love me some Namie Amuro. Her music is hot. Can't wait for some new material from her.

I want the Sony Ericsson Z610i . It's such a Japanese lookin' phone. Not sure when it's out in the UK though and knowing my luck - it won't launch on my network and I'll have to wait months until it's available on it. I'm due for an upgrade and want this phone NOW! *lol* The phone I need in my life ...

Hikaru Utada needs to be my wife.

I'll be waiting in the wings if she ever divorces.

Yep! I'm still down!

JC

I think it's GREATLY underappreciated. :x Probably because the drama came up around the same time as the likes of Sapuri and Kekkon dekinai otoko . Any drama with a Johnny's in it always seems to attract attention and get a topic go up with 100's of posts related to the starring Johnny and not the s...

^^^ I never said I wanted Akira's family to be up in arms about it. But they didn't even seem shocked. At least an "Ehhh!?!?" woulda been cool. For comic relief if nothing else. At least from Karou who perhaps wouldn't understand how two men can actually love each other. But I do think it ...

JC

^^^ Hmmmm. I guess so. Either way. As I mentioned before - I felt their relationship was the most interesting because of the way it affected the 2 of them so greatly. The way Pinko had to deal with knowing he may not win Akira's heart. And Akira not realising how deep his feelings were for him. It's...

This is a great show. I can't remember why I downloaded it, but I did. And after watching episode 1, I got hooked and then downloaded the rest in in quick succession! :lol All of the characters in this are likeable except Soari or whatever her name is. The chick just annoys me. :glare: I do think th...

JC

I agree wid ya mizune. And I definetely agree with ya zhongie about Pinko. He surprised me too. He started off as this really over the top and stereotypical gay character, but he began to develop into a meaningful force who was detrimental to Akira's development as a person. I personally felt out of...
