Virgin Road
Starring: Emi Wakui Emi, Takashi Sorimachi, Tetsuya Takeda, Mai Hosho, etc.
Summary: On the way back to Japan, single and pregnant Kazumi (Emi Wakui) met Kaoru (Takashi Sorimachi), a free-loafer reporter without a stable job. In Narita Airport, Kazumi found out that Kaoru was the one who helped her to pick up her contact lens on the road 1 year ago, which she thought as a "fateful meeting". So she asked Kaoru to pose as her fiance in order to comfort her dying father. However, when she finally got home, she found out that her father was in a healthy state and had no idea about her engagement, not to mention the pregnancy! A warm love and family story about how 2 lost souls found each own's angel of the heart!

I started watching this drama couple days ago, and was impressed with Takashi Sorimachi *gila cakep aje... hehehe* Prasaan wkt nonton GTO, dia biasa2 aja, and I wasn't really enjoy watching GTO, so I didn't get a good first impression of him. Eh tapinya pas nonton Virgin Road, he plays as a stranger who suddenly met this girl with her problems (pregnant before married), but somehow luckily he has a kind heart :)
He offers to help, to be the father of the baby and to act along in front of Kazumi's dad.
For those of you who don't know the guy, here are some websites:

Wahhh... ternyata dia cowonya Nanako Matsushima! (the most appealing jap-actress, IMHO. She's pretty ;)) kaged juga bacanya hi hi.... entah masih current/ga.... ;) cocok juga sih hi hi hi =P
Now for recommendation: I haven't finished watching Virgin Road, but I heard people liked it and it has a high rating. I'm up to 4, and somewhat it gets interesting.

I'm safe to say that I haven't watched this drama, yet. hehehe... Udah ada sih vcdnya, cuma blon sempet2 nontonnya mulu. BUT, now worries,... I did some research and found out that 80% audience like the show when it was aired in 2001. Kayaknya sih endingnya agak2 sedih ya, mungkin tipe2 Beautiful Life-nya Kimu Taku.
Hmm ga bisa kasih review banyak2, soalnya blon nonton *nyengir*, cuma kalo masih penasaran, baca2 aja dulu ituw site link yg diatas.
Ciao... ;)

I watched this dorama about couple years ago, but somehow, not a very good impression left after finishing the series. The story is not what I expected it to be, and certainly the "strawberry shortcake", was kinda misleading to me *gue tuch mikirnya jaohhh banget dari cerita benernya he he he*
Anyhow, if you're interested to see Takky, or even Kyoko in this series, well, it'll be worth to try own yourself ;) But for me, it's not my cup a tea :P I rather watch something else. But if it's for free,.... hey, why not ;) hi hi...
