me too..
love mother very much!!!!!

you are not alone dude, I also just finish it around last weekend.
4.9/5 for me.

No Toda Erika

^im a big fan of Liar Game

Toda Erika is a perfect cast for Kanzaki Nao. but the show definitely need a refreshment.

hopefully the new character will be total different, not just a different face.

If refreshment, I would want new character all over, maybe new game also.. but oh well.. I haven't read the manga, so this game is new to me anyway

OK already finish watching GOOD LIFE..
Sappy drama ..full of tears when it coming to end...
This drama like a wake up call for all daddy who working so hard and forgot to spare some time for their families..
I find it the storyline parallel with the title .. what actually a GOOD LIFE is..it different experience for different people..
Love is not about only giving or only to receive but it also an effort from both we give and take...
I love the chemistry between dad and his son..Sorimachi definitely great actors no doubt..bias from my POV..but the son also done a good job..got stiff here and there but with support from Sorimachi the act still acceptable for me..

Overall a good drama from Sorimachi..

Rating will be 3.5/5..

for autumn 2011.. i've a high hope for this 2 dramas..

Nankyoku Tairiku
The story is about 11 members who were sent to the South Pole for the first time in February 1957 in a national project to explore Antartica. They were accompanied by a dogsled of 19 Sakhalin dogs. When they left for Japan a year later, they were forced to leave the dogs behind due to the bad weather. In January 1959, Kuramochi Takeshi and some others joined a third expedition to ascertain the fate of the dogs Taro and Jiro.
Main Star: Kimura Takuya as Kuramochi Takeshi, Ayase Haruka as Takaoka Miyuki, Sakai Masato as Himura Haruhiko
Airing Date: 2011-Oct-16

star studded, high budgeted, based on true historical story.. what could go wrong? but we know Kimura Takuya works lately always go south.. but still, i have a high hopes..

Kaseifu no Mita
In the drama, Matsushima plays a mysterious housekeeper named Mita Akari, whose age is a secret and who is completely unsociable. However, she is perfect in her housework, and through her work she resolves hidden issues among the family members of the homes she is dispatched to. Despite her clients’ eventual wishes to keep her as a permanent housekeeper, she always moves on to the next job, where a fresh set of domestic problems await.
Main Star:Matsushima Nanako as Mita Akari, Hasegawa Hiroki as Asuda Keiichi, Aibu Saki as Yuki Urara
Airing Date: 2011-Oct-12

i always have soft spot to Matsushima Nanako. the first JDrama drama actress i ever admire. this probably woman-ish drama..

Hi, baru habis je habis tengok drama Freeter td.
Satu human drama yang bagus.
Banyak nilai2 murni yang ada.
Penganggur2 kat Malaysia ni patut tengok drama ni.
4/5 aku bagi.
Cuma agak bosan pada episod yg awal dan soundtrack agak kurang sket tp main theme best.

After
Now



Anyway, heard Hiroshi Abe also have new drama..playing detective iinm.. Looking forward to that..

LOL at Aragaki Yui's hair. It's really a fresh look for her.

==============

For new season drama, I watched the first episode of "Nazotoki wa Dinner no ato de" and "11 nin mo iru", both are comedy-ish.

Shinzanmono was adapted into a Movie..

When watching Shinzanmono, I sometme feel its dragging, maybe long-winded, but it make sense, thats how the story is..it's not a one-off, standalone episodes. I wonder how its movie will do..

ive watched the series, but not the SP. the SP any good? involve a new case, or continuity to the series?

the series are so-so.. Hiroshi Abe is the only reason i watched it, if other actor, i dont think ill put any interest..

The movie will be released only next year.. Subbed? Probably months later?

Just finished watching Soredemo, Ikite Yuku yesterday..
what I love about this drama about the message that they try to deliver to society the feeling of the victim family and also the perpetrator family.
We as bystander always jumps into conclusion and blaming here and there without thinking the consequence to the families..
With all the actors and actresses i can connect with their character.. This was first time i watched Mitsushima Hikari acting and I like it very much..as Futaba the longing sisters that believe her brother not guilty.. how she developed the character with the darknest, happy , cute and saddy act i really enjoyed it..she make me remember about horikita maki a little bit on her acting..
Overall the flow of the story in the middle pace not so slow and not very fast..if it really slow to take it just fast forwarded but warning maybe some of the details u will be missed it...

I learn a lot from this drama and I will recommend it if you love watching human drama..if u like to watching idol drama..this not type of drama you will enjoy it.

Rating 3.5/5

Hi, just back to ask...

Kaseifu no Mita definitely the best drama of this Autumn IMO, awesome story and brilliant acting skills (especially Matsushima Nanako). The rating of this drama also a stellar, reaching 30%!

WoW!! I have very long time didn't heard any dorama that can reach 30% of viewership!!
Going to get it now!!! XD
Thanks for the recommendation!!

definitely one of the best JDrama in 2011..

Agreed but funny thing is, all I cared about in the drama is Mita (Nanako's character). BEcause I find the family problems really really ANNOYING. Like...I don't care if they never have their problems solved or how they'll end up to be. The father is really useless, has been since 1st episode, and worse of all, the eldest daughter too. I nearly gave up on the show, if not for Mita pulling me back. I think the high rating has to do with the fact that this is Nanako's first drama ever since she stopped acting to focus on her children few years ago.


But I can't wait for her next drama Lucky Seven, with Eita (Soredemo Ikite Yuku), MatsuJun (not a fan of him but well...) and Naka Riisa. Sounds like one of the highest anticipated drama.

agreed. Nanako made the drama very good.

u should try Utsukushii Rinjin.. im not saying both dramas are similar, but very strong performance by lead character (Nakama Yukie) single handedly made the drama great..

im not watched many Jdramas, compare to early 2000s. probably only 3 or 4 per drama season, so probably 12 this year. but this year 2011, i could say only Utsukushii Rinjin and Kaseifu no Mita deserved to be called very good Jdrama in my book..

i read Lucky Seven synopsis, sounded like Lady (Kitagawa Keiko)
