Anyone think the that Juken no Kamisama girl's really tight and mean? Like really, such an attitude, wanting people to bow down to her. That's disgusting! I'm talking about the character of course. PLease, no misunderstandings I don't think so. If she doesn't act this way, she'd be mobbed by parent...

One movie critic's review:

The 5 worst J-doramas (in order) that I've seen

1. Nodame Cantible. I thought it would be cool with the music theme and all but it just dragged on.

I think you'll probably get a lot of flak for this one
But too each its own...

BTW, is anyone else kinda surprised that the bunch of department heads are so dense? I thought the cardinal rule in marketing/advertising was to know your target audience and cater to their needs accordingly, and yet the bunch of department heads seemingly have zero idea about their own target audi...

I am so extremely disappointed in Rei and Ken. Ken is slow, and emotionally closed off the minute he can really do something to change their relationship. He absolutely fails at expressing anything he's feeling other than pain. Rei, on the other hand, is just as bad. She seems as though she is, and...

Sorry... but I seriously don't get what you mean. Even in the manga Akiyama suspected the real X becuase of the check thing. He also suspected different teams becuase of how calm everyone was. He didn't think sunglasses person is X because sunglasses draws attention and not takes them away. In that...

I just had to stop in and say how much I love this drama and the SM part cracked me up! Did anyone else notice that in ep. 4 that during the SM part, at 3:33 right before Akiyama told Nao that she should vote "No", that when Akiyama looked up from the ground, there was a quick flash of th...

orichan wrote:=) I think for people like us who read the manga, we have no choice but to keep our mouth shut until we get the drama-only stuff.

This show is a lot more fun when people get to keep guessing. So let's not ruin it for others.

Totally agree, no more spoilers from me from now on

Im so sorry to say that you are wrong...lol.... X did go to round 3.... Chinese subbed manga, until chapter 37 i tink its still round 3 there http://kifen.xo51.com/viewthread.php?tid=9507 I think a little courtesy is warranted for people who haven't read the manga; there's really no point in snicke...

wait a minute.... Are you talking about something in the manga or in the drama? coz in the drama, I don't remember X having 2.1 bil? And when did he say he's continuing to the 3rd round? So...you're talking about the manga right??? I didn't recall X saying he's continuing to the 3rd round either. I...

Finally finished Ep.4...since everyone's been discussing things freely in this thread, I guess I won't put spoiler tags :) Gawd how long did Mushroom go on for?! By the time he got to his 20th sentence I was like -yawn- Yes, yes, I know you formed three teams, and that you thought you beat everyone...

Not necessarily. Esp since I think the next game will only bring us up to ep 8.5. We have plenty of time to do one more game if they want, assuming this is 11 episodes. Yes, but there's not enough time to do the round 3 in the manga either as it's still ongoing, so the writers may have to come up w...

Actually, I am pretty sure we will get original material. According to one of the interviews posted on the official site, the author of Liar Game said one of the things to look forward for in the manga is a different ending from the drama. So looks like it may end after the next 'resurrection' roun...

Not only that, but then the part about what's his face telling Toda that he couldn't tell her either and his reason. It just dragged out so long on TV... if I downloaded the file, I would've just fast-forwarded through it. But, it's a late-night Saturday drama, so I know I shouldn't set my expectat...

Looks like ep5 will catch up to end of v2 of the manga. Hope my store has v3 already... v3 was published in Japan quite a while back; the Chinese version has just been published in Hong Kong. Also, there's chinese scanlations available on the web; it's up to ch. 37 (not sure if I can post links her...

I'm in the middle of the second episode right now... and it's sooooo cliched. I definitely didn't need a 10 minute explanation telling me that he switched cards. All I have to say is: もう一回～！ Really? I timed it and it was less than 3 minutes. Also, in what way is it soooo cliched? Sure, a lot of peo...

The manga is up to ep. 34 (or 35), just about 4 volumes. The 1st episode already covered half of vol. 1; at this rate, the drama may have to come up w/ original material after about ep. 8. As someone has already pointed out, the 1st 'game' is not very interesting but gets much better with subsequent...

so is there the raws available somewhere? i cant find it in DA. is the vcds or dvds released? if yes i might buy it. how many episodes are there in total? OK, this is my last post on the topic; I don't want to get pulled into a drawn out debate. If you're not a die-hard fan of the novel, by all mea...

You mentioned that 95 stayed true to the novel. I thought this version did a good job as well. The series added a few scenes but that didnt take anything away from the novel...There were so many scenes that were cut in 95 version as well but people still think it's the closest. 83' followed 1st edi...

The for sure thing will be that no other Miss Long will be as good looking as the one played by Liu Yi Fei :wub: :wub: I don't want to start a flame war; everyone has his/her opinion and I respect that. I just want to point out that not everyone agrees that Liu Yi Fei is the best looking Xiao Long ...

Alex Fong, we're talking about the buff and bodacious Alex Fong here and not the teen-booper swimmer turned singer/actor Alex Fong here right??...That and the fact that I really enjoyed TVB's adaptation of "The Fly Fox of Snowy Mountain 1999". Alex Fong is the actor that appeared in Derek...

Since I'm not a Jin Yong fan, I don't mind and don't know when the piece is being butchered....As for the characters, I don't see why Alex Fong should swap places with Anthony Wong. He did a decent job protraying an admirable martial artist, yet wholely pathetic man. If you've read the novels, you'...

I just found out that The Handsome Siblings 2005 (Xiao Yu Er Yu Hua Wu Que) starring Dicky Cheung and Nick Tse is also directed by Wong Jing. God, that series is butchered like hell and is utterly horrible. I only watched half of the series. Couldn't bear to watch any further. Now I'm convinced NOT...

Basically another piece of crap from Wong Jing. If you've read the novels, don't expect a faithful or even decent adaptation. If you're familiar w/ this guy's work, do expect a lot of sappy melodrama, cheap thrills, and illogical plots. Most of the main characters are miscast; Athena's character sh...

I watched the 1st episode and like it so far. I don't think the acting is 'fakey' if you're used to watching American sitcoms; this is a comedy after all. The comedic timing is very good and Keiko Mazusaka's great. She is not your typically mother-in-law in that she has good intentions but managed t...

I will try to be as objective as possible on my comments. First some background info so people know where I'm coming from. I was born in Hong Kong and started reading ROCH when I was around 11 years old. This is my favorite Jin Yong novel and I've read it tens (may be hundreds) of times. I still hav...
