[Discussion] Binbou Danshi
Well, the reason why I find his character is stupid is because he doesn't seem to realize many things.
Anyhow I can see some similarities I have with Koyama too, but not to his degree. I always find it hard to say no. If friends need help, I always try to help, even if I have my own things to do. Or if people ask me to work their shifts, I would do it too if I could help out. Even if that deprives me of my own play time.
But what I learned is never to deal money with friends unless I can trust them to return it. It will just turn a friendship sour if money is involved. I've had a co-worker and classmate who borrowed from me, they never returned it. It wasn't a large amount, but I wasn't too happy about it.

I know exactly what you're talking about... a friend borrowed a few hundred dollars and it took him over 2 years for him to payback...and during that time he brought jewelry for his gf, took trips and brought expensive clothing. I was ticked off at him for a long time...it almost ruined a good friendship. And I really dislike having to ask him repeatly to pay back. I learned my lesson...I will never lend money to a friend unless it's a life and death situation.seirin wrote: But what I learned is never to deal money with friends unless I can trust them to return it.

As for Shun's character, there are some people who will pay for everything even if they can't afford to...it's their way of buying & keeping so-call friends. I knew one of these people, he was in debt and didn't care as long as he was part of the in crowd. Go figure.

I completely understand this sentiment. However, I was quite pleased with how Koyama has chosen to deal with this issue whether he can truly afford it or not.seirin wrote:But what I learned is never to deal money with friends unless I can trust them to return it.

On a personal level, I never loan money to friends. If I have it to spare, I give it away because money isn't worth sacrificing a friendship. Thankfully, they are my friends and the return is always far greater than the cash I gave.
I guess the word I would sum up for him would be "selfish" ^^;

I didn't mean to imply I didn't like him as a person. As a rule (with two rare exceptions), I try to avoid knowing personal things about actors. Besides, Britney Spears is enough to cure any curiosity I might have had about high profile people.seirin wrote:About Shun though. I don't think he's too bad as a person? Well, he's a typical Japanese guy and workaholic.
Seriously, Oguri has to be a workhorse. He has no choice in the cut-throat business of Japanese entertainment. A guy like him is easily replaceable. Maybe if this works out for him, he'll get better roles. Maybe he can break the cycle and be one of the few who actually make it. Then maybe I'd watch something because of him rather than despite him being in it.
I hope everyone will enjoy this drama.
Well, if anything, he will always have his butai I find he gets much better and interesting roles in his butai than his movies and dramas. Not to say they're not good but the stage plays are more interesting ^^; If you want to check some of them out, I'm uploading them to the sharebig link in my signature.
oh and shun and toma pairing cracks me up whenever they're together

wow some serious conversation going on here
heres my part in it
Koyama isn't the type to expect to get paid back.
Everybody is getting annoyed at those "friends" for never paying him back but Koyama seems to be the type who just wants to give and not recieve in return.
This is where I find myself similar to him, I am in no way saying I am a selfless person like Koyama appears to be and I wouldn't go as far as him but if I know some one who is in need of money if I have it spare I will give it to them and specifically ask them not to pay me back, if they really want to ill just tell them to do the same for someone else one day
As far as Shun himself goes. I wouldn't say he is that easily replacable.
Not that many people even in the entertainment world have his kind of drive and talent.

Let's hope Shun makes it for his sake. I certainly like to see people work hard and make their dreams come true.Yorokobi wrote:As far as Shun himself goes. I wouldn't say he is that easily replacable.

As for Koyama, I completely understand where he is coming from. The writing AND Shun's acting has made his motivations very very clear!!!
NanaTorigawa-chan, Miura-kun is indeed very funny. He's absolutely adorable and I'm really happy to see him back on television for awhile. I am still debating whether or not to brave our current blizzard to see the opening of his current movie tomorrow.

No! Shunbaby, you should comment because off-based or not, it's all in good fun. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to correct you in a bad sense. Most of the stuff surrounding the sprouts (?) was a joke, so I wanted you to know that Koyama was the attraction... In this country, where pretty men go, women will follow (especially middle-aged housewives)...at least, that's the joke!Shunbaby wrote:
lol, guess i was way off base. i shouldnt comment until the subs come out. thanks sapporo for epi 2 summary.
My husband always teases me about my interpretations. I used to get angry until it hit me that these dramas are made for Japanese people who don't need explanations and who know most, if not all, the inside jokes.
Part of me wishes I'd volunteered to sub this drama instead of Daisuki because Karina is making me cry constantly. Shun and Haruma-kun have people alternating between laughter and tears.
I'm looking forward to next week's episode!
Edit!!!! Yikes! I missed a ZERO in "Nancy" debt! I really should pay more attention!!!

Actually, I found barahana more interesting to watch ^^; Maybe cuz the subs aren't out yet so I don't get why they act the way they do. Course...I don't get how some people act the way they do. I can understand shouldering debts (I am in one myself for mortgage) but if you can spend frugally, at least it would partially help the problem.Sapporo Girl wrote: Part of me wishes I'd volunteered to sub this drama instead of Daisuki because Karina is making me cry constantly.

barahana's good but i missed some of the first epsiode and after that was only half paying attention cause i was busy so i dont really get the connections between some of the characters
hachikuro is dissapointing me not because of the acting but because i cant get into the storyline
surprisingly im finding Saito-san quite refreshing even though i hate kids
but my top three at the moment in no particular order would be Binbou danshi, 1 pound gospel and Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai
I guess i like the funny ones ^_^

I can't seem to get into hachikuro either for the same reasons.
I think my top 3 this season are BaraHana, Binbo Danshi and 1 Pound Gospel.
I'm enjoying Binbo Danshi at lot more than I thought I would. Seems Shun can take any role and pull it off with perfection.
He made me laugh too much first episode. Haven't got round to watching second episode yet.
Plus Miura Hamura.
Yum >=)

him and shun are the reasons why im watching the drama

You should watch episode 1 of barahana. The kid is so smart and cute ^^; She doesn't act like a kid at all cuz she's so understanding, observant and so sweet. Shingo has some really touching lines too. He made me cry cuz it was so sweet. I love the mask the kid wore hehe especially when the new kid showed up in class and pulled it of her ROFLYorokobi wrote:barahana's good but i missed some of the first epsiode and after that was only half paying attention cause i was busy so i dont really get the connections between some of the characters

Even the nanny was funny too with her "what?? are you blaming me??"
As for hachikuro, I was totally bored watching first episode. I don't know if I can even last second episode once the subs come out.
Binbo I gotta wait for the subs to come out cuz I'm not exactly sure why Koyama does what he does and why he hangs around those loser club friends. And I don't understand the reasoning behind the huge debts the lady and the policeman has. She seems to be a compulsive shopaholic and I dunno how the policeman got into debt...doesn't seem like a gambler.

I have a mortgage, too, however because I live near the subway, I've convinced myself it's an investment. Seriously, I think most Japanese dramas have one recurring theme presented in various ways: recognizing what is truly important in life. What Nancy and the policeman need can't be bought with money, but Koyama can and is giving it freely. Only those two characters are living desperate lives and while they recognize what he is offering, they aren't yet strong enough to accept it.seirin wrote:Actually, I found barahana more interesting to watch ^^; Maybe cuz the subs aren't out yet so I don't get why they act the way they do.

I absolutely love Koyama's influence on ShyBoy It's so heartwarming! Because of the two of them, I've felt positive and at peace at the end of both episodes despite the upheavals. They make me laugh, they make me cry and they make me feel that somehow, someway, it'll all end good.
I am awaiting the next episode!

mo! i saw "binbou danshi" on the recent topics bored but i didn't read the [Discussion] bit so my heart was like "YATTTA!!!!!!" with backflips and all, then i saw it and i was sad. (this is probably because i totally wanna see this drama and that, in conjunction with the fact that i'm running off two hours of sleep and five sodas worht of caffine and sugar makes me a little insane <_>) but it really is a very anticipated show this season, ne?

the kanji for the title reads binbou danshi so you can leave the titleNanaTorigawa wrote:I was wonderign should i cange the name... i heard from a Japanese freind.. that is called Bonbi Men....Or Bonbi Danshi....
its just that they put a katakana reading over the kanji when advertising it which said bonbimen so most people know it as that
the 3rd epsiode was good last night
as much as im enjoying this series the problem with it is that all the episodes are about on the same par as each other
there are no great ups and downs, no huge tension cause it follows the same basic plotline each time

Ithink Shiroi Bombimen is some side story for Bombimen, just like they do in some manga <ex>.
I wonder when it aired??
I just started recently. I think they release 1 file a week.

They certainly do! I have every confidence that his character is extremely central to how this "war" between Koyama and Omuomu will be resolved! I adore this kid! Why isn't he legal?!Rori wrote:They need to show Haruma more.
Haruma and Shun have such good chemistry, so much so that a friend asked me if they were involved (in the show, not the actors). I said yes...either it's something akin to father/son or big brother/little brother. They don't have a civil union. She was disappointed.
