I just noticed something when I scanned through the comments. Drama with stupid heroine = pissed off viewers. I totally forgot about Absolute Boyfriend. I read the manga and the ending depressed me. I didn't think the Live Action would be worse! Man that's one crazy storyline.
I'd probably have to say Zettai Kareshi like everyone else. Let's be honest, it's pretty bad. That said, I don't hate it. It's lighthearted and has some fun moments. Plus Hiro is awfully pretty. :p
And yeah, Last Friends has turned out kind of disappointing. Mostly b/c it's too focused on Michiru, who isn't interesting and is frustratingly dependent on other people. First she's dependent on Sosuke, then she's dependent on Ruka, then she latches onto Takeru just b/c he's a male and is nice to her. I wonder who's next? She's had very little character growth at all.
Then the characters who actually are interesting end up taking a backseat to her. Eri and Takeru in particular. Even Sosuke, who ended up being far too 1-dimensional, but could have been interesting if done right. Ruka's storyline is intriguing but, again, takes a backseat to Michiru and her issues.
... and I totally didn't realize I had so many complaints about Last Friends. Wow.
For me, I wasn't into Last Friends, Zettai Kareshi & Gokusen.
Last Friends kinda bored me & Masami is... not my favourite actress.(I'm still waiting for another Yamaki drama or just Hana Kimi SP!)
Zettai Kareshi... I have read several of Yuu Watase's manga & liked it, but Zettai Kareshi's plot is just too fake for me. I ruled it out even before watching it. (Whooops =x)
Gokuen 3. How many times do we need to watch Yankumi save her students from danger again? I mean.. for me, about every episode is repetitive & this has gone on for 2 seasons already. I only managed to watch Gokusen 3 episode 1 for a little while. (For Haruma Miura =x)
I think I was pretty harsh! =X (But that's just me)
that is soo true about Gokusen 3!! i mean i love Gokusen, but the whole 'gangster teacher saves troubled students' bit is getting pretty tiresome. Especially if they used the SAME situations from season 1 & 2 [with extremely tiny differences]!!!
ZK has definitely bored me a little after ep. 3 [im surprised i lasted that long]. If your gonna have hot great actors like hiro and hayami, the least you could do is to have a great female actress [like Maki] to create a good chemistry with the actors [which Aibu has definitely failed to do >.<*]
I'm waiting for Hana Kimi SP too :( but there's no sight...
I read some of her works too but not Zetta Kareshi, so I gave the drama a try & just a disappointment, the plot, the characters, everything changed, and what makes worst is there's no chemistry between the cast :((
no comment on Gokusen 3, i watched it for Haruma anyway lol
I really liked Fushigi Yugi, Imadoki & Alice 19, of Yuu Watase's works, just not Zettai Kareshi.
Did you read about the Gokusen rumours? http://uwasako.livejournal.com/23357.html Just read the top part about Gokusen (Lol to that- I'm really mean but I don't know if that's true cause all I did was skip to parts with Haruma =x). The bottom part about the actresses is kinda sad. Why do so many many people like Masami? (I really don't. I think she's pretty whinny =x) Maki should be searched for more!
for me it is zettai kareshi and gokusen 3. I just watched zettai kareshi until ep 5 and then don't have any will to continue it. for gokusen, it just a repeating plot every episode, all they need is a problem from one of the student, fighting scene with unknown gangster because of stupid reason, and then the appearance of yankumi who will easily beat all the gangsters, and that's it ...the problem already solved. I might sound harsh, but i really don't understand how can gokusen still get a high rating, I bet It's all because the reputation before, or maybe because of yukie nakama. though I don't like gokusen 3, but I love her, she is so pretty.
