Buzzer Beat.. meh.
Same old thing.. Yamapi's lovely character + love triangle = Happy Ending.
Those of you who are going to watch it, let me know how good his basketball skills are

[joeydragonlady]

Thanks for the listing of series~ DarkU!

Niini no Koto wo Wasurenaide

It's interesting. The good guy has an evil ability that is bound to turn
him evil, the bad guy has a good talent but I doubt if it'll turn him good
the concept is facinating! Ryo scared the hell out of me in Last Friends.
How can a guy with such kind eyes be like that?

MW Dai-0-sho(The Devil's Game)
I love Tamaki Hiroshi and now I have to look
forward to him acting with Sato Takeru in this
suspense series. I can't wait!

and attractive Tsukamoto Takashi. I am so looking
forward to him being a host.

Ninkyo Helper
Yamamoto Yusuke as part of the mob? After being a student psychic, a 3rd son efemminate model and a fireman, this is something I MUST see.

kochikame

Hayami Mokomichi as a real person. I need to see this after seeing him
die 2 times in Absolute Boyfriend.
