I agree and I think you were too kind with your rating XD I pretty much disliked Yui with all her selfish decisions and her obsession (or as shoujo manga would say, "love") for Wakagimi.
I have to check them out! The only young actor who called my attention is my sweet boy Kaneko Daichi.. I hope he gains popularity as well! He is attractive but most of all, very talented. I like that these young actors don't look like 12-years-old XD
Thank you for this article - I'm hoping to use it as a springboard to look at a new generation of actors and their…
wow now that you mention it... i tried to remember Daito Shunsuke's face and I couldn't because I kept getting Kentaro's face... yep, they do look alike, around the eyes probably
I can't say I agree with Girls in the Dark since I've read the book and I think it ends perfectly. I even think the movie added a couple of unnecessary scenes at the end... I agree with Bleach! I wouldn't mind watching a 2nd (and a 3rd) movie at all XD Luckily most of the dramas I thought deserved a sequel had them after a couple of years. Right now I am waiting patiently for the SP of "The Confidence Man JP" and "Okusama wa, ToriAtsukai Chui" ^_^
True, true **nodding enthusiastically while reading your review". Your review is actually much nicer than mine since I hated the Heroine and I had SLS (meaning, Second Female Leading Syndrome).
I am happy for both actors in Ossan's Love getting their recognition :) but honestly I didn't like the drama that much (I hated it toward the end) and Unnatural was just OK for me, a bit overrated. Kahoko and Confidence Man were great! I am glad Confidence Man got an award, it was a very unexpectedly good drama. I love Lemon, I may have listened it on repeat for months. Waa no recognition for Rikuoh and Yakusho Koji :((
I strongly recommend the books which Confessions and Girls in the Dark are based on... they were amazing and left me with my mouth wide open. Better read the books before watching the movies, imo.
I liked Pride (except for the last 2 episodes). A couple of days after finishing this drama I went to my first professional hockey on ice game XD it was amazing! I also liked Tori Girl, and I am currently downloading the last episode of Golden Bowl to start watching it soon.
I love Drama/Movie sports and there are tons in Jdramaland. My last ones were "Mix" (very good) and "Cheer-Dan" (MEH)
Is "Shoot" subbed? I know you are part of the SMAP lj community so I am taking the opportunity to ask u ^_^
Nice (and a bit sad!) article :) I miss Narimiya, he was so good and charming... I´ve just read that Hiro is going to be a guest in a drama starring Inagaki Goro, so he is not entirely retired :) Another actor that seems to have retired is Yamamoto Yusuke (Tamaki from Ouran HSHC) He was an awesome actor! Funny and over-the-top but in a nice way :((
Do they get together again? There is some suggestion I think, if so the ending is more positive and the overall…
according to the manga, they do get together after a couple of years. It is true the ending is not a see-in-your-face happy ending but I liked it. But I'll like it more if they added (or add, in a near future) an extra episode ^_^
I enjoyed the movie; I had low expectations since I think Sota is over-pushed for his face, but I was pleasantly surprised. Hana was the best. Still, I've only read the first volume so I can't say I am a fan, but is it so disappointing that the characters don't have the same color/length of hair? I think the acting and that characters have the same personality as in the original work are more important than how the hair looks :S
