Hello and thanks for the polls! I wonder why Matsuyama Kenichi and Fukada Kyoko (Daiki and Nana in Tonari no Kazoku wa Aoku Mieru) are not on the poll in the "Best Couple" category... I counted 9 votes for them on the preliminary round, like the couple from "Survival wedding" so I don't really understand why they are not here. I also wonder about Ishihara Satomi as Best Actress for "Unnatural". It seems to me she was quite popular in the preliminary round (but I may be mistaken). I know it's very hard to count, so I don't blame you at all and I know you can't change anything now. I'm just disappointed a bit...

I hope I'm not too late!

Thank you!

I have seen 8 episodes of the Japanese version so far and no, there is nothing about a serious killer.

I'm really looking forward to part 2!

Hoshino Gen's song is good too! I like to hear it in the morning before going to work.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention BTS song in my comment. I like it too.

My favorite one is "Lemon" by Yonezu Kenshi (米津玄師). This song was used in the drama Unnatural, and was a huge hit in Japan. Yonezu's voice is smooth and the song is catchy.
I also like "If ～また逢えたら～" (from the Japanese drama Repeat) by the Korean band DAY6. I was really surprised to discover they were not Japanese, as their Japanese is perfect.

It was a fantastic drama, very sad sometimes, but full of love and hope. I particularly liked the Wataru & Saku couple, they were so cute. I cried a lot watching this drama.

The first episode was really average, it almost made me drop the drama but from episode 2 it was really good. I highly recommend this one.

Yes, this one! ^^
I'm looking forward to it!

He's so handsome! Did you know he will be the lead in a drama during the spring season?

Appartently, they will adapt the scenario of Byplayers 2 and finish the drama. This is what the family and the cast want.

He was such a familiar face in Japan and he didn't have any particular health troubles, so his death surprised everyone here. I liked him a lot.

Thanks for writing this article. BG is a nice drama to watch, not only for KimuTaku but (mostly) for the actors who are working with him on this one. Just a comment about the ratings: if I undersand correctly, the image of the ratings you put in this article is for the Kansai area only, not for Japan. For all Japan, average rating is around 14%. But I agree that this is still high. ^^

Sorry, I didn't know there were no subs. I watch my dramas in Japanese, without subs.

The first episode was not as good as the first season, but the end of this first episode was good! I'm also glad to have 10-FEET again for the opening song and Takehara Pistol for the ending.

The problem (for me) is that a better drama was made last season about the dark sides of the media (Black Revenge). So I couldn't help but compare the two, and Final Cut was boring.

I tried for 3 episodes but unfortunately, I could'nt get in the story. I couldn't empathise with any of the protagonists, they're all boring. Also, I felt uncomfortable with the main character getting sentimentaly closed to two sisters. As a revenge drama, "Black Revenge" was way better.

Same for me! The second ep. was better in my opinion.
