This series was indeed very intriguing. the plot from the beginning to the end keeps you watching until you have finished. It makes you want to keep watching until you have sovled everything. Just finding the criminal in this is not enough. So even if you guess right, it is more than that o the story. It's about a mystery writer whose boyfriend was killed and ever since she has been trying to find out why and who did it because the police said he commited suicide. After that more murders happen and she has to connect them as well to one place. I do not wish to disclose more about the plot because I do not want to spoil it.

The acting was great. there is no mistake that Hiromi and Mari made a good combi. The rest of the cast as well played their roles very well and same goes for the younger girl who was a blind. This special was played out very well and everyone could definitely make you sympathize with their story.

The music is just about right for a mystery special.

Rewatchign this has no meaning unless you have forgotten most of the things about it. It is a suspence and mystery drama special, once the suspence ends and the mystery is solved, you cannot rewatch with the same feelings as before.

this was actually something that i did not know if i wanted to watch. basically i felt like i could predict who the killer is just by the synopsis but i gave it a shot anyway and then i came to realize that things were not as i thought. this drama, up to the last minute of it , it had me wondering what was going to happen. the plot itself is intriguing and makes you want to watch. by the end of it , this tells you something important about "destiny".

the acting was good. it was not bad. it was rather believable. i would not call it excellent since not everyone in the cast did a great job. Tsukamoto and maki yoko as well as sawamura were splendid.

the music of this was subtle. i think it went well with it. Rewatching it would probably make it lose it's suspence and intriguing quality.

Overall it was a very good drama special. The second part of it is the most intense.

This drama showed to the people that being a cabin attendant takes more than having a beautiful face. This drama's plot is about showing the maturity of a person who thought of becoming a cabin attendant not because she really wanted to and just because she was thinking that it would just be her serving food and drinks to the passengers. The plot was very fun and there was rarely a dull moment when watching it. It kept making me want to watch even though she was so hopeless and immature. The mild romance in this drama did not matter to me. I am not one who watches a drama to fulfil her need for romance.

The acting was very good. Sure there were some who did not do that well but mainly this drama had great acting. Maya Miki and Ueto Aya doing their best with their role and finally managing to show us that they both matured by the end. It was definitely refreshing to watch these two act together as well as the rest of the actors in this. Aibu Saki, was okay. The chemistry between aya and ryo was rather obvious but at the same time they were awkward because their feelings were also awkward.

The music was funny and very fitting to the story and the character of misaki. Rewatching this would definitely be as funny as the first time. I have already rewatched three times and enjoyed it every time.

One of the most motivating dramas out there is "attack no 1". Adapted from an anime , it certainly did not fail to portray the reality of the volleyball world and the feelings of the athletes. Being an ex-volleyball player I know exactly how it is to train the way the girls do. The plot definitely had a twist before the end of it. It has a lot of things to teach you concerning friednship and life and this is why I was unable to stop watching until I finished it.

The acting by most of the actors was really superb. Ueto Aya's acting once again managed to get me angry whenever she was being immature. Something that is rare in dramas, is character development, sometimes it just doesn't happen, but in "Attack no 1" you see that by the end of it they mature through the hardships and things that they are taught by their experience.

The music of this drama is sang by Ueto Aya herself and it is needless to say that it is very motivating. Yume no Chikara, the power of dreams, certainly complimented the drama. The countrack also was very fitting and it went so well.

I think that since this is a sports drama, rewatching it would still be amusing though, nothing is like the first time.

The plot of the drama is definitely something rare to find but at the same time it was a rather boring story that still managed to teach something by the end of it however I found the development really slow and I think that it is a drama that could have ended with less episodes aired. It was unnecessarily long.

The acting of the drama, I won't lie, it was certainly not convincing. If anything I would call it mediocre. Most of the actors in this, but mukai osamu, were not that great. Most of the time I failed to really sympathize with any of them. I think though that the writing and drama itself did not give a chance to the actors to show what they have. It was mostly about the main girl who certainly kept playing in an awkward way throughout.

The music of this drama was okay. upbeat in a way.

As far as rewatching goes, I think it is each to their own :3

The plot of ataru is clearly strange however there is more to it than just a savant syndrome person solving cases. there is a whole other premise behind it that reveals ataru's history and what he went through. by the end of the show you come to a more clear understanding about who ataru is and what he wants to do and how his childhood was. This drama is not just about the case solving and this is why it was a rather unique plot for me. Sure in the beginning you cannot believe that he can solve the crimes just for that but after you come go deeper in the story then you understand why he can do it.

The acting was superb. kuriyama chiaki is an okay actress but i feel her role in this with her other roles dun have much of a difference. However most of the other actors did a great job with their roles. You could definitely find them convincing.

The music of the drama, i do not remember it and it did not really bother me from focusin so i suppose it was complimenting it. As far as rewatching goes. Once you have watched it all, it would be hard to watch again with the same suspence.

the story of this drama is about a peculiar man who is different from the rest of the world in such a way that it completely blocks any chances of getting married. he meets people, and a dog and through his interactions he ends up making friends. it is a rather interesting plot for the time that it aired :3 however ever since i think various similar shows have been made that are kind of like this one. Like "Saito-san" and "Magerarenai Onna".

The acting was clearly very good in this drama. even the younger one, kuninaka did very well with her role. not excellently but very well. Abe hiroshi was at his excellence though. clearly he was by far the best in this.

I do not remember the music but i think it complimented the scenes in a way and it fit.

Since this is not a suspence drama and such I think rewatching it would still be entertaining. I have only watched it twice though.

This was a peculiar drama full of mystery. It kept me wanting to watch more and more and find the truth about everything that is happening with this mysterious case. i guessed many times and i was write only three of the times. the situation is crazy and this drama is like a series of things connected together in some way. The main protagonist had to connect everything together and find the truth behind the case. I find the plot to be rather different than most j-dramas and this is why i gave it a high score.

The acting in this drama was certainly unique and interesting. sure there were characters who barely managed to appear good but that is not something to be concerned much about since the main actors are all very good with odagiri, the old lady police woman and the crazy scientist were the most exceptional in my opinion. All the funny moments always manage to make you laugh, which is something good.

Music wise...it was actually pretty assisting to the whole drama in a way that it increased the suspence.

This drama is for those who like solving mysterious cases and even if by the end you know somethings I think that rewatching it would still be as entertaining as the first time. It would be better if you did not rewatch immediately but let some time pass so you have forgotten a few things.

the story of this drama is definitely not boring and not something that we see a lot. during the time it aired, i am pretty sure it was new for it's time. First of all, the fact that it is about someone who decided to become an "at home dad" because his wife had work and he was fired. All in all, he could not find a job so it was his last resort. by taking the role of the house-man though and making friends with his neighbor he matured into becoming a proper dad for his child.

the acting, needless to say , it was outstanding. all of the actors definitely did great in this seeing as most of them have had a lot of experience too. abe hiroshi was once again great and the friendship between the two male leads was truly amusing.

the music was okay for the drama, quite enjoyable and i think that rewatching wouldn't hurt. I think it would still remain funny.

The story of this drama is rather interesting andf as a plot rather intriguing with many things that frustrate and at the same time makje you more curious. In the beginning I watched only the first episode of this drama but because of a certain reason I got mad and stopped. However after a few months I decided to let go of my preconception and actually watch it and until now I do not regret it because it was an excellent drama. Deep questions about life were posed and at the same time you were the one who was left to answer them. This drama is definitely for mature thinking. It makes you go deeper than most dramas and it changed my whole views on life and the way we live it. In this drama, even though the teacher is supposed to be the one who teaches, it is the high school girl who gives a lesson to him. The acting in this was simply outstanding by every actor. Fujiki, aya, aoi yuu, narimiya hiroki etc. The music was calming and definitely suit it and this is a drama that can definitely be rewatched. The chemistry was also very good though at the same time the awkwardness was also there and perfectly suited. Somehow you were also becoming part of the story as you see it unfold. It made me want to be part of this drama and slap and punch various people in it.

This was the first amami yuki drama i had ever watched. in the beginning i thought that the theme of the drama didn't fit me but honestly, i think that as a story it is something that every woman who wishes to be independent should watch. By watching this drama i realized more about society and how society sees a woman around 40 who is not married yet. Life doesn't end when you get 40 and life doesn't end when you get married. However i will let you watch it and find out for yourself the charm of this defiitely different drama. Now as far as rewatching goes. I do not think it is a drama that you wish to watch twice.

First of all this drama is about a rich woman and a poor man meeting each other and falling in love. This pattern isn't as rare to happen in a drama however the story in general and the funny moments definitely added more points to it for me.

I watched this drama during a time that I wanted something that would make me laugh and it did. I watched celeb to bimbo taro in one go and rewatched it again 2 times already. This drama has something to teach you and it is a rather inspiring one for those who are interested in fashion.

The acting of aya was once again great, I could not find anything annoying to it. Thoughin the beginning alice was an annoying person. Unfortunately everyone's acting was great but the guy's who played Taro. Even the kids did a better job, which is why i gave a 9/10 to it.

The music was light, definitely went well with the theme of each episode. It is an easy watch in my opinion and I did not mind the slow pace it had when it came to the development of feelings. I like seeing and noticing how people fall in love rather than watch something where the leads fall in love out of nowhere.

I think this drama is very good however you must look past the romance in order to see the meanings behind it which do not have to do with "money won't bring happiness" . I think this drama wanted to show that by not being dependent solemnly on money you will have happiness. In my book, this is a "feel good" drama. I do not think that money will bring me happiness but I won't be an idiot who will not try to make money. Money are needed in order to not fall pray to those who have money. This is how i feel. Before this drama, I used to think that money were not important and that even without them I would be happy. However this is not the case. In order to live, money is a necessary evil. However waiting for others to make money for you , is wrong. You have to believe in yourself and work to earn them. This is when you will come to appreciate who you are and what you do even more. Definitely an inspirational drama which is why i give it a 9 overall value.

I watched this drama after watching the japanese version of it. Acting wise, this drama lacked more than i expected. Mainly Hye Sun was the worse actress in this. I felt like i was watching a robot sometimes. her robotic movement was totally out of place. The others did a good job, with lee min ho being outstanding. However I watched this drama not for the main couple but for Yi Jeong and Ga Eul. I was not interested in the main couple mainly cause I knew what was going to happen so I found it rather tiring to follow it. And it was also rather draggy. Generally I don't think this dramais the best korean drama ever. It was tiring watching it. of course if you are someone who loves romantic dramas of the same nature (rich bastard guy , poor girl , they fall in love, she tells him she doesn't care about the money lalalala familiar pattern that has been used for more than 20 years over and over by many telenovela scriptwriters around the south american countries ex: marimar, maria la del barrio, paulina, perro amor, luz maria etc. nothing new to it but then again if you have not watched something similar before it definitely strucks you). I would not rewatch this drama again especially since it's a drama that i won't forget it's plot so there is no point in rewatching. How ever watching it for the funny scenes again, i would probably do, which is why i have a 5/10 rewatch value.

This drama , misuzu kaneko monogatari was AMAZING. Honestly I think that whenever I will think about it I will cry… I was so deeply shocked by how amazing aya’s acting as Misuzu Teru was… honestly she nailed the role and her crying scenes were the best i have ever watched. I felt so conflicted whan watching it the whole plot is sad, it has something optimistic to it yet I cannot help but cry. Misuzu’s story is really shocking. her acting as a mother was amazing…Even the bad person in this guy acted so well that my hatred for him was too strong. It has been a long time since I had so much strong feelings after watching a drama. Some scenes were heartbreaking to the point that i could not stop crying throughout the drama. Bonus for this drama is the pure poetry of Teru. If you want to see a drama that is worthwhile then definitely watch this. I guarrantee it is not a waste of time. As a drama it has the 2nd place now in my top 10.

a truly interesting drama. it was very good, with inspiring stories. it has a completely new way of seeinginto things. this drama is about someone who will not stop until she finds the answer to a murder case that she finds strange from the beginning. this is why i decided to give it a try. besides i am somewhat a support of alysa as an actress and generally the acting in this drama from the guest stars and the regulars was simply great. i will not exclude the veteran actors that we keep seeing in dramas again and again. I like how she always found her hints in the reports and then she was going around gathering the details and investigating. This drama had quite some amusing moments as well so it is not just serious all the time.
