soon, autumn season going to end. around 1-2 more episodes.
dakara, i'm really looking forward to see the ending of these dramas. i don't care about rating though.
coz i know J-viewers still watching.. either live on tv screen or downloaded videos like we did here.
one word: amazing!! true, it's a heavy drama .. but it's amazing. i kept recalling the world and business-economic history. world politic stability and trade business really correlated to each other, ne. same goes with the war, recession, inflation, globalization, open market etc. while watching those two trading companies busily with their 'buy-buy-sell-sell' activity, my mind just thinking about my late grandpa who was appointed by Japanese to manage and take care of the main warehouse in Malacca during WWWII. emm, yeah. i realized how important crops, sugar, rice, raw materials at that time. i kept imagined how he smuggled those out and passed it around to the villagers while at the same time, cover up and kept a good rapport with his employer [Japanese Army].
i fast-forwarded episode 1. paid attention to the introduction of iki-beniko-hyodo characters. then jumped to episode 5. back to episode 2 and kept on watching up to episode 9 now. i watched raw clips. and i re-watched again with english sub. i hope DVD for part 1 will be available soon. i love the retro setting. staff did a great job for that. all the casts gave a great performance. previously, there was a suggestion that if Iki Tadashi played by yosuke eguchi, the drama's rating might be increased. but to me, either karasawa or eguchi.. it doesn't matter about the expression and emotion as both are the great actors. but in term of physical suitability, i'll say karasawa is fit as Iki. reason why? since 1988, karasawa was starting his fame in trendy dramas and always got a rich-smart-good-looking-guy roles during his early career. i dunno about other people. but for me, i'm well-understand with Iki. i just hope the ending won't be so brutal, or else i'll be sad.
i've watched takeno in suit in many dramas previously. but still, he could bring his different way of acting as Hyodo Shinichiro. kakkoii.. love seeing him in angry and hardworking mode. on the other hands, don't you agree that amami is really beautiful and sometimes funny as Hamanaka Beniko. before the drama on-aired, i already know beniko's interest with iki and i thought 'oh, so beniko won't meet hyodo anytime anywhere, ne'... but after i watched the news and preview, i'm happy to see beniko was actually close with hyodo too [in whatever kind of relationship]. hehe, so whenever hyodo-beniko sharing a same scene... i was delighted! and whenever amami trying to get iki's attention, i felt sorry for her.. "poor beniko, iki already full with mrs. iki [wakui emi] and chisato [koyuki] ... why don't you just pour your heart to hyodo instead... go beniko go!" .. tsk, tsk.
there're so many interesting scenes... one of them is beniko and elevator scene - sadly beautiful .. painful. it's really beautiful, i felt like watching art movie .. not a drama. it's not unusual to see amami singing... but playing the piano, hajimete i think. amami could just let extra did it.. but she chose to do the piano scene herself. but no worry. amami is a quick-learner anyway. oh, another thing, that onna the typist in that red dress who made a cameo.. she resembles like yamaguchi tomoko [karasawa's real wife] .. eh, is that my only hallucination?
btw, i love iki's daughter [tabe mikako] especially the part when she talked about her marriage and asking his father to piggyback her. what a nice-melancholic scene. and in this drama, she's so cute. also the baby [iki's grandchild]. iki's son-in-law [ishida takuya] is a son of his enemy.. but i'm glad iki still approved and gave his bless for the marriage. beautiful black and white photos. maa, i want it too.
ishida takuya also acted in Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji Season 4 [nanako and eguchi] last time. and i just realized that the young boy in Semishigure movie [somegoro] was him. ishida and tabe already met before in a movie Yoru no Picnic. i should try to find that movie. coz in a short moment, i love this ishida-tabe combi. i'll talk more about ishida later. somehow he looks promising with his talent.
someway... emm, i don't have any comment for this drama. haha. because i love the script. i love the manga. i love their acting. i love osawa takao and nakatani miki. 'no love-no hate' with ayase haruka. but i'm glad ayase did a good job here. also uchiino masaaki as ryoma.
so far, i love ichikawa somegoro, eguchi yosuke and uchiino as the historical person; Ryoma. i've to wait and see how fukuyama masaharu going to suit with his Ryoma den drama next year. too bad, we can't get opportunity to see kimura as NHK preferred fukuyama rather than kimura. demo ne, can kimura be the Ryoma-san? that would be another question. my answer: although kimura did a good job as oda nobunaga, i've my faith with shingo or nakai more; to be ryoma. iyargh, talking about this.... when nakai-kun gonna be in jidaigeki taiga, i wonder.
back to JIN drama, i watched this drama in relaxing-mode without thinking too much.
my one and only wish:
please don't make the ending hang-in-the-middle.
or else i'll get frustrated and throw my laptop to the south-china sea at the back of my campus.
last time, i saw a glimpse of Jinno.. his mouth and the way of talking sounds familiar... eh, toru? he's toru deshou? and when i watched ep 9 ... yeayyyy, Nakamura Toru!!
nothing much to comment with the drama.. as it was a true police story.. so i dunno how to compare. just love it like the way it is. i was laughing, grinning, squealing, giggling.. sankyu for bringing the humor and cuteness and coolness.
i love the bickering between oguri and mizushima. next to oguri-toma's chemistry [in Hanazakari ni Kimi tachi e drama].. i love the chemistry between oguri-mizushima and toma-mizushima.
and yoshitaka yuriko is one of the great young actress. duu, how come she could give another different character and yet still wear that same lovey-dovey cute face. emm, if i still have my late younger brother, i would ask him to get me that-kind-of kawaii sister-in-law.
... now, tell me producers... when would i see my combi wish yoshitaka-osamu or yoshitaka-toma...
i still enjoying the drama. just follow with the flow and not thinking much about that dark underground group. [i'm already heavy with Fumo Chitai.. so i prevented my brain to do so with other dramas]. i like nakama yukie's clumsiness and comical...with my favorite guest like asano yuko, nakamura shido etc. i love seeing nakama in black and white stripe, polka dots and checkered clothes .. those are 'smap uniform'!
my favorite episode so far was episode 5 .. when nakama started falling in love with shido. i was cracked when nakama said, 'next time, i can do cooking, cleaning, blablabla...'. aaargh, what a proposal! wish nakai was there. exactly type of girl he needs!
eh, wait... nakai-kun could religiously watching other people's dramas and shows... most probably, he did the same towards his girl. and i was laughing when nakama kept spraying her perfume to build her aura [in front of shido? lol]... mwahaha.. back then, kuryu-amamiya were using Nina Ricci Edition Prestige... ne, can somebody find out what brand did nakama using?

i took a peek on first episode on this series... surprised.... i like it!. it's rare for me to watch any noriko fujiwara's drama... unless if there were my favorite actors/actresses in it. i don't hate her... it's just because in most of her works, people see her sexual appeal being exploited more than her true acting ability. probably Gyne drama considered her first drama after divorced and her big stress, right. congratulation! she should do this kind of challenging role much much much earlier. but, still not too late. i hope fujiwara will do more high-level dramas and movies in future.
the drama is about a Obstetrics and Gynecology department of a university hospital. fujiwara noriko as hiragi nachi; an obstetrician and surgeon for maternity ward who got some disordered and suffered from her own post-traumatic life.
my advice: please let husbands and boyfriends out there to watch this drama.. so guys would understand their moms and wives better.... and appreciate our sacrifice more.
LIAR GAME 2 and
OHITORISAMA .. i'll just wait for DVD...
and for
SAKA NO UE NO KUMO... i hope somebody could kindly sub and sharing it.. hukhuk, onegai~ onegaishimasu. i wanna see my miho-matsu, abe-motoki-kagawa ... oh, i'm also happy with the high ratings. yappari, during this rating's poor recession time... NHK channel still able to produce high-rating stuff... eg: Tenchijin drama [satoshi tsumabuki].
