◎ My First Review 2008 Jdrama
1. SP ★★★★★
Absolutely fascinating! Great cast, great script, great music. Very entertaining. Can’t wait to watch 2-hour special in April!

2. Bara no nai Hanaya ★★★★☆
Better than expected! Yuko Takeuchi is so beautiful!! Sometimes she looks cute and has a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, but sometimes she looks so sad and beautiful. It is worth watching just to see her smile. Also, Shizuku is very cute.

3. Hachimitsu to Clover ★★★★☆
Bitter-sweet memory of youth…I thought Hagumi was better performed by Yu Aoi (the movie version) but Narimiya was really fit the image of Morita-san!

4. Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi ★★★★☆
This drama is based on a novel of the same title. Very intriguing story and I have no idea how this drama will turn out, unlike in other love stories or school life dramas. You’ll get to know more about Nara (where old…very old capital was located in the 700s A.D.) and see a lot of deer!

5. 1 pound Gospel ★★★★☆
It is good to see Kamenashi smiles and express his love openly. (He often plays a role of a cool loner who always hide his feelings) Very enjoyable drama with Meisa Kuroki playing a beautiful nun, Sister Angela.

6. Bombi men ★★★★☆
Totally different type of role for Shun Oguri. That is good for him! But sometimes he looks so stupid to get into such an unnecessary trouble in the first place. Oh well, that’s this drama is all about, right? Friendship over money?

7. Sasaki Fusai no Jinginaki Tatakai ★★★☆☆
The first episode already tell us how this story is going to end.

8. Daisuki ★★☆☆☆

9. Saitoh san ★★☆☆☆
Good script though it is too hard for me to continue watching…too much hardship for Saitoh-san.

10. Edison’s mother ★★☆☆☆

11. Ashita no Kita Yoshio ★☆☆☆☆
Too depressing. Can’t continue watching. The actor like Kohinata-san can shine better in a hero-type role, in my opinion… too bad for Kohinata-san. First main role in a long run… total disaster…

12. Koshonin ★☆☆☆☆
Didn’t care to watch. Same old Yonekura with TV Asahi drama program…

13. 4 sister detective
Didn’t care to watch.

14. Mirai teacher Meguru
Didn’t care to watch.
