I don't write as well as you, but...here goes. Watashi no tomodachi wa Nihongo o benkyo shimashita. Kanojo to anime o mite imashita toki ni, watashi wa Nihongo ni mita. Deiton ni kaermashita toki ni, honto ni Nihongo o benkyo wo hajimaritakatta. Ato de, 2008 ni Nihongo o benkyo wo hajimarimashita. Soshite, 2009 ni dorama wo mite imashita. Now, the language is a part of me. I actually followed what you were saying quite well.

Kamenashi Kazuya wa watashi no ichiban desu, watashi mo MatsuJun to Oguri Shun ga suki desu yo. Hiragana ya katakana ya kanji o kaku koto ga arimasen. :( Daigaku de nihongo o benkyo shita toki ni, watashi no sensei wa romaji o oshiemashita. Mai-nichi watashi wa romaji ni nanika o kakimasu. I'll have to try that drama. I like some detective dramas; I liked Tokyo Dogs especially. Gokusen no manga o yomimasu ka? Ii desu yo.

Arigato! My favorite dorama is City Hunter, but before I watched that, I was very partial to Gokusen as my favorite. I typically watch rom-com's (YAB, Rooftop Prince, Hana Kimi, etc.) but I have been known to pick up something random if it sounds interesting. Watashi wa ni-ju-go sai desu. How old are you? I also am a bit shy talking in Japanese, but I can try. Nihon-go o benkyo suru o doshite desu ka? What do you want to do with your degree, as it sounds interesting (and something I would enjoy doing if it was offered)?

Loving him in Rooftop! <3

He's seriously growing on me; I still love his bro. more, but he's so adorkable.

I agree that this is not YAB by any means, except for the pop group thing. Actually, it reminds me a bit of Coffee Prince. I'm loving WooHyun. His dimples are to die for.

I can't wait till WooHyun finds out she's a girl. Oh, and the love triangle that I think was hinted at in ep. 6...

I can't wait for next week!

Happy Birthday! Can I make a cake for you?

Just finished watching the final ep. (except for subs), but I hope that they will do a second season. As good as this drama was, it still feels incomplete without hashing up the complexity of Shang's feelings for Gong Xi and the relationship between Gong Xi and Lian.

Can't wait to see Jiro again!!!!!

I feel that I might have to wait and see the reviews before watching this one. Messing with the plot of Nodame too much may turn it into a drama that is completely unrelated and only associated by thin threads. I love Nodame too much to allow it to be ruined for me. That being said, the plot twist does sound interesting.

Happy Birthday! <3

I originally didn't think this drama would be for me. However, I recognized actors that I had seen in other dramas (Yamamoto Yusuke, Seto Koji, and Daito Shunsuke), so I decided to watch it. I am SO glad that I did! It gives so many wonderful lessons about friendship, teamwork, and finding yourself. I cried a ton during it, but for all the right reasons. :D

I know! Kuma is one of my favorite characters anyway, so it's good to see him and to see his growth from season to season.

When I got my dvd, my friend wanted to skip to ep. 2, but I told her she had to watch it. I was happy to hear that she watched it and liked ep. 1. Now I have her addicted to this drama.

HK was my first drama and has a special place in my heart, but Gokusen just is the ultimate for me in j-dramas.

I sort of understand this. When I watched ep. 3, I was unsure if I was going to continue the drama. Now that I've watched the 4th and 5th eps, I'm glad I stayed with the drama--they were much better--and the Love Triangle + the Real Ai Lin starts to heat up!

I'm having the same problem with the subs, too. The first three eps are not completely subbed, and ep. 4's timing is way off.

I thought that it would be exactly like YAB when I started watching, but I'm surprised that the female character doesn't act so ridiculously clueless. I like that she's rude and crude--the exact opposite of most female lead characters.
