Well...i just picked up the series because of boredom...and I think I won't watch further than Ep4...seriously, this series could've been so much better without this "Tama no Blah"-Girl...she's annoying...well, she's cute in some way but in most of the scenes she just looks like an idiot...I'd continue with the series if they could make her...disappear...o_O
It's a good series but the main girl annoys me as hell...so I think I won't continue to watch this >.<

I'm so confused. Are these like filter episodes or something? I don't remember much of what happens in episode 5 and the next that were in the manga. Mizukawa Asami will guest star in episode 6, but who is she suppose to be?
Well at least, there's some progress with Keiichi. They are, in fact, going to drag Takako's character out. I feel bad for her unrequited love.

Episode 5 was good!! haha.... and Takako can still amused me!^^
Waa...Mizukawa Asami stars in next episode! Love her! Her character is Kotani, and she likes Taro. wachi, can you remind me from which volume this character in the manga? There were so many characters in the manga, I forgot this one xD
yeah, you're right, the drama gets more and more straaayed from the manga x)

Who is Kotani? I wish I can tell you which volume, but I don't remember her. I'm not sure if she's even in the manga.. wait, I'm really bad with names. BBL with answer.. I'm pretty positive it might be her.
yanie: It could be volume 4&5. About their trip to Shanghai? Takako & her were the two competing for Taro's love or some sort. It could be her.
So we're already half way through the drama.. I'm not quite sure where they're going with this, but stay on the manga a little please.

Because I can't bear the thoughts of her getting Mimura after she just fallen for tarou and the dad a few days before XDDDD And because in the preview at the end of episode 4 there's no sign of Yoshiko at allwachi wrote:So everyone was freaked out by the thoughts of Takako & Mimu-chan as couple? Really? Why? It's not likely possible.
@salz Nurse? I dont think he has played a nurse. Do you mean when he is a preschool teacher? If that is the one then its called Yoiko no Mikata and Stormy team is subbing it also. Check out Aibakaland forum.

I watched 5 episodes so far and I'm soooo disappointed with this drama.
I'm a great fan of the manga. I began to read it near 10 years ago and it's definitly one of my fav. So I had great expectations with this adaptation.
But absolutely nothing is respected.
Maybe if you haven't read the manga, you can like it but to me, the actors are totally out of character.
To explain in a simple way, Yamada Taro has basically two expressions : happy or sad. In the drama, even when he's smiling, his eyes are sad... Not at all my vision of Taro.
And what are they doing with Kazuo and Ayako? Absolutly no emotion!
And where is the Sugiura plot (the funniest of the manga)?
Why is Takako everywhere? She's not that important in the manga.
And so on...
Maybe it's my fault. I was expecting too much... Maybe this manga has too many parts (Maria's story, 15 years old father, yaoi plot...) that can't be shown on TV. So what's left are only cliches, already seen in lots of drama (reminds me a lot of Hana Yori Dango). To my opinion, Yamada Taro Monogatari deserved better than this adaptation. I can't find the original spirit

The thing with manga j-drama adaptions is they tend to go off the plot of the original manga quite a lot. It makes the drama unpredictable and original. I can understand why your angry as I had the same feelings about Hanazakari no Kimitachi e to begin with but ive gotten past that stage and am enjoying the drama as an original now and i guess thats what needs to be done with this drama too.
I havent read this manga so luckily i dont have that issue here as well ^_^

All dramas' rating dropped weirdly last week (including HanaKimi). Hmm, maybe most people are not home, enjoying the summer vacation?? x)ojouprincess wrote:episode 6 is my favorite episode so far! i love all the tarou-takako scenes! i've always liked takako (even though she became annoying in the some episodes), and now i love her even more!
but sadly, the ratings for the drama dropped to 11.1%. a huge drop, ne? i wonder why.

I read somewhere on the internet the ratings dropped "due to Hadashi no Gen SP"

I started watching the drama today, and it's really good. Just one character I really really really don't like. Ikegami girl her character is horrible. I can't like her at all. Understandable that she wants to find a wealthy guy, but she I'm watching ep 4 and she falls for another guy so easily who she thinks is rich. It makes her so money hungry. I just hate watching her parts in the show.
Other than that the other characters (excluding Aaron, right now he's acting so much like a spoiled brat he is) are fine and makes the show enjoyable to watch.

It appears most people felt this at first but are slowly growing to like her better as the series goes on and her character changes and growsperson wrote:I started watching the drama today, and it's really good.

I THANK GOD for this drama because I found Mitsuru Matsuoka(his dad) and fell madly in love. He's simply brilliant and my god is he beautiful. And you are right, he looks like a fairy tale character, reminds me of a fox too! <33333 *swoon*karz000 wrote:anyway, i think the dad is very weird-looking. kind of like those characters in the fairytales. lol. hahah.]
I'll be watching ep. 6 when ever it's done downloading, i hope my opinion on the girl changes too, cause i'm really starting to despise her. Grr.... Im so glad SHo told her there was no chance of them hooking up! I love Sho! hehehehe....
SO exited for the ep based on his parents! More Misturu for me to drool over... <3333
Haha! Yokatta ne! And you changed opinion pretty fast tooperson wrote:^ Yep I've changed my opinion about her. At the time I wrote my reply, I hadn't watched episode 6 yet. I've finished watching episode 7 and it's really good. Can't wait for episode 8.
Love_Child, you better watch Hito ni Yasashiku (Be Nice To People) then, Matsuoka Mitsuru stars that drama, and it was an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT dorama... and SUPER-HILLARIOUS. It will make you laughing like crazy in the beginning, and cries buckets in the end. As much as I love Yamada Taro Monogatari, I have to say "Hito ni Yasashiku" is 10 times better than Yamada Taro

Yanie: Did it already! Hehehe. Trust me, as soon as I saw Matsuoka in Yamada Taro I searched him down like crazy, turns out his band has become pretty much my FAVORITE JROCK group - ever... And also, HnY is so amazing, i've cried every episode and also laughed SO hard... I'm almost through with it and I am pretty sure that it will become my FAVORITE dorama in the end. Thank you for telling me though hehe, cause if I hadn't found it already then you would have been a savior!yanie wrote:person wrote:Love_Child, you better watch Hito ni Yasashiku (Be Nice To People) then, Matsuoka Mitsuru stars that drama, and it was an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT dorama... and SUPER-HILLARIOUS.

eh, everything's so slow today(torrents..) YT ep 6 is at only 37%.... Been going forever!
Good eye! Yes it is!Lancalot wrote:Does anybody know if one the girls in Tarou's class is Kojima Haruna from AKB48, because one of the girls looks just like her.

Hmm... Just looking on the official site, I'm surprised that they were allowed to use Nino and Sakurai's image there, even though it is a drawn version. Usually you have to put something that doesn't look like a person. This means that they might be allowed to post Johnny photos on wikipedia if you just run it thru a photoshop filter?
I was surprised with that too at first. I think they did that for Matsumoto Jun's dramas but took it off the site after sometime. The jimusho haven't allowed any of the photos before (like what they did to Toma in Hanakimi). I guess TBS have a "special" relationship with Johnnys/Arashi.auroragb wrote:Good eye!

It's also interesting to note that Matsuoka Mitsuru's character in Hito ni Yasashiku is named Yamada Tarou. Coincidental?... Maybe.yanie wrote:Haha! Yokatta ne!

Its confirmed that a member of Arashi will be guest starring in YTM but the identity is still not revealed yet..
I'm betting on Ohno Satoshi. From the buzz, its him. Some girls with connection been hinting its him. I'm hoping its HIM!
Some questions for the manga readers, what character would suit Ohno the most? Or what characters do you wish to be included in YTM?
