I've decided to use this page for Japanese movie and dorama review / rating. Only the series I saw to the end will be rated. I am more into romantic, dramatic genre in  Japanese media, so it might be a bit biased, but I tried my best to be fair. Personally, I think doramas with meaning is worth more than just comedy anyway. Of course, everyone has different tastes, but I think this page will help you decide which show is worth seeing! Anything with ratings of 9 or 10 is bolded.<br>You should definitely check them out first!!

|The original novel, a collection of letters sent by the main character, is considered the predecessor to the "TBS Junai (Pure Love) Trilogy" novels. This dorama SP does not disappoint. This SP is mainly about long distance relationship between two high school students who meets in a hospital in the '60s. Kusanagi's acting skills sure have improved, and it shows in this series. It's my first time seeing Hirosue Ryouko in a weak(illness) character role, but she did it very convincingly. Should check it out, if you like romantic series.

|The last and possibly weakest of ''TBS Pure Love Trilogy'' (TBS Summer Junai Trilogy) films, but I can tolerate YUI's music now thanks to this movie. The actors did a very good job, and the movie is beautifully directed.<br>Somewhat weak ending, and movie is probably too short for this story to be told properly.

If you used to be poor (and now doing better) this movie will definitely make you nostalgic.

Revision as of 00:13, 28 November 2006

I've decided to use this page for Japanese movie and dorama review / rating. Only the series I saw to the end will be rated. I am more into romantic, dramatic genre in Japanese media, so it might be a bit biased, but I tried my best to be fair. Personally, I think doramas with meaning is worth more than just comedy anyway. Of course, everyone has different tastes, but I think this page will help you decide which show is worth seeing! Anything with ratings of 9 or 10 is bolded.
You should definitely check them out first!!

Dorama Reviews

Formats: Please refer to DramaWiki Glossary of Terms for details.
- CpE: Conclusion-per-episode format, "Ichi wa kanketsu keishiki", 一話完結形式
- R: Continuation dorama format, 連続　「連ドラ」
- R-CpE: Continuous conclusion-per-episode... Proceeds like Renzoku, but every episode is concluded in some way, and
latter episode is greatly affected by previous episodes.
- Mix: Only first couple of episodes are CpE then rest are Renzoku.

愛と死をみつめて(Dorama SP)
Ai to Shi wo Mitsumete 		2006 Junai 9 The original novel, a collection of letters sent by the main character, is considered the predecessor to the "TBS Junai (Pure Love) Trilogy" novels. This dorama SP does not disappoint. This SP is mainly about long distance relationship between two high school students who meets in a hospital in the '60s. Kusanagi's acting skills sure have improved, and it shows in this series. It's my first time seeing Hirosue Ryouko in a weak(illness) character role, but she did it very convincingly. Should check it out, if you like romantic series. Dream Come True - Memai 8
