I'm starting on this series! Barely watch episode 1 tapi udah suka banget hehehe.... ada kimutaku pula :P
Takuya Kimura is the cool dude as always but his character in this drama is better rounded in the interplay of his family ties. He is often the maverick in his dramas. So it is refreshing to see him as a grudgingly respectful son to his reticent father and a caring, playful bully to his younger brother. Beneath the macho veneer of all three, is an understated love for each other.
His leading lady is not the usual chatty feminine but an ice-cool mechanic that straddles the motorbike. Though her role is rather limited. From the start, both are reluctant to admit their mutual attraction and keep stealing sidelong glances at each other.
The plot (case by case flight incidents and encounters) is not very substantial but carried through by the good performance of the cast. Overall entertaining. Especially if one is a Takuya Kimura’s die-hard (like me) just so to catch his cool vibes!!

I heard this is good, but haven't finished watching it. So far, it potrays much about Japanese traditional family rules and traits. hehehe.. Vivian Hsu speaks Japanese very very well. :) cocok juga sama cowonya... yg satu cakep, yg laennya cantik. :)
Will update much later when I finish with this series :P
olrait, just finished it last nite, 04/05/04 :P Bagussssssss deh endingnya :) huhu keren keren :) si Kinchantchun lucu hahaha.... comical banget facenya ;) lucu dia pake baju modern gitu trus nyoba2 depan kaca haha...
Si Shinji sama Nozomi cocok banget banget banget :) mesra pula hihihi.... :P fully recommended dehh :)
In the end, they show how the older brother and his wife come back home. Shinji and Nozomi get the chance to come back to Taiwan, but then somewhat she misses Japan and the family so much. It's a great movie about the importance of family, despite of all the hard work that she needs to do while being the 'Honke' or the daughter in law in the kamisawa family.
