The 90s have own charm. Everything is so... different. Almost I see another world. I've watched this film with pleasure, in spite that the main character is Akanishi. I never like him on stage, when he acts... I tolerate him only, because of great voice.

I suppose that majority notice Natsu, but I'm interested in Ryuuji more. I don't know why, but he was amazing under this lamp and at the seaside.

As to LANDS' songs... I don't like this style, but it suits to the movie very much.

I think about Gokusen success and I really don't understand it. I don't know why the dram has so big popularity, because I can't see nothing unique. There is a school, there are some students and there is a teacher. Nothing new!

I have the impression that all episodes are similar. There is funny sometimes, but nothing more. Even Matsumoto and Oguri with strange hairstyle can't help.

Maybe, the next seasons are better...

What happened... I've been bored the first time since I started watching action drama. It was horrible! no specific characters, bad plot, no voltage... There was only one thing which was interesting - the incredible bond between Hye In and Seung Won.

Aww.. I decided to watch it, because I was thinking what Siwon did in the drama... He is always perfect. Then I saw that many sigers played there. Even Choe Gang Chang Min had a small role!

I'm glad I'd watched IRIS earlier, because there were some connections, especialy at the beginning. It was ok! Though I wonder how they could destroy Athena so much.. It was sad. Sorry, but IRIS and Athena are on compeletely different levels, even there aren't the comparison!

I think it is really good film. We can see postwar Japan, when a technology aren't very developed. I don't know why, but always when I watch movies of this type I thing that life was easier. People weren't trapped in the schema and there weren't the rush...

The best scene with Tv and fridge...! totaly amazing! xD

I haven't seen such amusing drama a long time ago! Since the first scene in elevator, I've known it is hit. Love Shuffle has lots of comedy situations and epic quotations. Every character has distinct personality. The most lovable is definately Usami Kei, but I can't like Mei. She criticizes everybody and she is so selfish. Hmmm... Reiko acts like nymphomaniac. Kairi... I thing she has a problem with brain. I really don't know, how HE could fall in love with her!

It's really good drama. Hmm... Even more then good. I love detective stories with comedian and, of cource, romantic parts. However, I can't give the famous 5 stars, because there is the same thread again: 'me, it's not me', the same like in Green Rose. Dear Korea! I know you have more creativity. As to cast, Lee Jun Gi charmed me the most... his eyes... I've not seen him in any other production earlier, I think he is the good actor. Ahhh.. and this beautiful Thailand! Anyway... I recommend it!

The drama is neither happy nor sad, but it is full of reflection. The 14 years old girl in pregnant... It sounds terribly. Miki gave a baby, though everyone has objection. I see her future in black colors, but who knows... I admit she had exceptional parents, who could accept that choice. Especially mother. An oasis of calm. It was very unrealistic, but finally - it's fiction.

In Japan, at least the abortion isn't forbidden, so there always exists a rescue answear this situtation. Maybe it's not easy, but there is always better to have a choice.

Antique Bakery... Wow. It was really interesting. Of course, I did not look atdescription of the movie and what I saw..there was even yaoi a little. I was pleasantly surprised. Kim Jae Uk as a gay...Yaa.. It weren't the easiest scenes...

Generally, I though that the film was not complicated, but there was deeper sense. The three guys with own trauma in cafe...

I was not bored.

Ahhh! I totaly dislike horrors. I watch them only on day or with friends and then I close eyes... Luckily, this curse don't scare me. It is crazy story with this unborn baby synrome, but I understand at all.

There are some brutal scenes, but rather not to much. Aww.. and the most important! Film isn't disgusting, it means there aren't nasty scenes.

Thanks to the special episode, I'm sure the second season is better than first one. It is nice drama abstract with many many comments. I like the cast more as well. It's nice to see their natural side here.

My Girl is pretty good drama, though I definately prefer comedy scenes, where miss Yu Rin is in the spothlight. Then the stroy turns into a melodrama and unfortunately, there is sometimes boring too.

Dong Uk or Jun Gi.. I don't kno who is better here..

I wonder what the infatuation could be between Jin Gyu and the assistant. Mandarin sewing was glorious! xD

The love story between In Seon and Il Do needs a special episode... and this french background music from old film..

There was the only one thing, which I can't understand, why they havn't wanted to show the cousin's true face for long time. These shots were really strange...

The brilliant drama. I've watched it in very short time. Korea shows me again that historical threads are amazing too. Though the story is pretty sad, there are comedy situations as well. I was cheering on the main character all the time. I like Geom as coarse, crafty Yong and as misterious Il Ji Mae. Lee Jun Gi is wonderful actor.

The end of the series is ok, though I supposed Yong could have met her mother before death...

Anyway, definately RECOMMEND!

Liar Game definately isn't my favourite drama. I admit I evaluated it very low at the beginning. I was very despondent about stupidity of some characters. I don't understand such naive peopla like Nao, the character which is so annoying. Luckily, Shouta isn't wronged and he got better role. On the whole, when finally there appears Yokoya I start watching carefully. I love him! The unexpected action is the biggest adventage of this drama!

This film is wonderful. I'm delighted in the story. The beginning is calm and shy. It was very suspicious, but I didn't suppose that fate. I'm glad that the action is concetrated on Mika, who was abandoned. It's very fresh, because they often show suffering of patient.

What is more... the movie is typical school story and I like watching simple life so much too. Aww... and these beautiful uniforms...! How the Japanese look so good wearing it... Hmm.. and these love. The beautiful, clear love.

As to acting... they were ok. I was laughing and crying when the characters. I'm sure I will rewatch it someday.

I love sport in movies! I can watch it over and over.

Magic games, fire balls and Echizen's ambition Everything is ok. Unfortunately, I complain of unexplained threads again. Why Ryoom had to move... Who the misterious, mute girl and what kind of links she has with Higaki... Aww...
