I absolutely feel the same. I find Honoka Miki's portrayal of Kotoko perfect! She's ditzy but not annoying, she's a cute and entertaining character. I like how they put in little signs of Naoki's interest in Kotoko as well, the develepoment in the Korean version was really bad...
I´m looking forward to it every week, I'm hoping it will get better and better. :)

I was confused about this entire thing, but now I'm REALLY confused.

No problem! You're welcome! <3

I have no idea what happened in the manga, because I haven't read it yet. (I'll definitely buy it though ;) )
I went through the first ep of the second season, and it seems there's no punching Fujimaru in it... Maybe it appears in the manga and you have lively imagination?

I don't recall the punching, but that might be just me. What certainly happened however is the part about him lying that he had stopped hacking, and that room full of computers.

lol, I see your point! Nice article. For me it's mostly the other way around. My age limit is guys who passed thirty. (Though some people will always stay legit even when they're close to thirty... (Matsumoto Jun, Song Joon Ki, Mike He, y'know... :) )
I might become a pedonoona in the future though, as I am and have always been into the cute type. Ehehehe... Though I try to avoid going to my younger brother's age, which is hard with a two year difference... (Kurihara Goro, cannot believe he's my bother's age...)
Anyway, many hugs! :D (random much)

(not sure if there's a spoiler in here??)

I'm getting so frustrated! I can see this version is done very well but the 3rd/4th time watching this story it's really not as interesting... So when the HECK does he admit he likes her too? I keep spoiling in further episodes, but does it really take until the very last ep or what?? Please, someone tell me!!
(Btw, am I the only one who's so turned off on Joe Chen... And I liked Jiro better to begin with...)

Ugh, I cheer for the bad guys a lot... But I get disappointed by them just as often... But then I blame it on the writers. (I've only seen 4 eps of RP, becaase I hated it that much, but I believe that girl should have gotten mercy by the writers.) I always want the bad guys to be understandable, I just can't believe someone acts a certain without a reason.

I have no idea why I like this so much, but I'm really enjoying it so far. xd

I agree so much on that. I can hardly watch old dramas because the clothes and hairstyles irritate me so much. (Sometimes even the make up is horrible...)
Especially in old Korean dramas it's horrible. I cannot watch any Korean drama made before 2008, for Japan it's 2005. For Taiwan it's usually even worse so I tend to just watch things and endure the terror because I still want to watch my favourite actors.

UGH. Agree. On. Everything.

Omg, Miura Haruma is soooo good looking in this drama... It's killing me! xd
Though I can already predict the entire storyline, I find this series very entertaining so far. :)

Ahaha, agree, agree. I would not want a guy who thinks he's better than me. I guess this phenomenon has to do with females becoming more equal these days, and the differences between men and women becoming smaller. Which is a good thing of course. Though I think most countries, espcially Japan, are still lacking in equality. Interesting article! :)<br /><br />Personally I might be even further into the flower boys than general people, I always dote on the cute guy. (I'm giving away too much with my avatar already... xd) Though I don't know if I'd actually like to date one. xd He mustn't be too passive either. xd

Ah, okay, that puts me at ease. :) Thanks! (though 35 eps is still a lot of commitment for me, I'll try it when I have time. )

Just on Dramacrazy actually. ;) http://www.dramacrazy.net/korean-drama/mackerel-run/
(but prepare yourself for it, the storyline has no point, it's badly acted and it's got useless sound effects...)

I absolutely loved it! It's also got political stuff, which I found intriguing. But the romance and friend relationships are amazing as well. The first few eps are so-so, but after it gets more serious it becomes extremely addicting. What I liked is how you knew (from the history, I looked up some stuff on Wikipedia xd) what would happen but kept hoping otherwise. Anyway, it's really worth the try! Tell me what you thought of it afterwards! :)

I'm actually thinking of watching "The Great Seer" now xd (I just happen to be a huge fan of political stuff, but if it's badly written I might not get through it...)

Oh and yes, there have been quite a bit of dramas that I watched solely because of the actors... (to name a few: Mackerel Run, Love Contract, Shabake ) But luckily there are always those dramas I watched for the actors but turned out to be so awesome I would have loved it without them in it as well. So I guess there's still a reason for the eye-candy syndrome to be legit, right? :DD (to name a few: Hyoten 2006, 11nin mo Iru!, Stand Up!, The Princess' Man)

Oh really? We'll just wait to see what it'll really be then. It won't be the first time the number of eps is changed along the way. Btw, thanks! :)

Ah, that explains a lot. I was thinking it was soooo weird... Shouldn't the number of eps on this page be changed in that case? Well, I'm enjoying the drama so far, so it doesn't matter. ;)

What I read is that it'll be about the year 1994 and it'll be about basketball. (which doesn't make me all that excited, but I'll watch it anyway of course xd)

Hmmmm??? This drama has 16 episodes? That's really peculiar for a Japanese drama... The longest (non Taiga drama) I've seen was 12 or 13 eps... Hmmm??? Is this true??

What. The. Heck. This whole thing is like watching a drama. It's so crazy, I cannot make heads or tails out of it... I hope the truth will come to light eventually, for now I'm not treating anyone as guilty. Though I still hope PSH is the wronged one here. I'll feel bad him if his career is unfairly ruined, because it already is now... (Also because The Princess' Man is one of my favourite dramas, how will I rewatch that now without thinking about this crazy stuff...)
