I likes this series, Takuya did good acting. There’s had many great guest stars in the each episodes. The story was good and entertainted. Takuya can acted as dumb or smart person. But at the end of episodes, I thought that maybe would be a SP??? Hope so :p And the theme song, that’s remind me of Pride. Arghhhh…I feel that I want to re-watched Pride again :p

Actually, I likes this series, so mystery that makes me attached with it. And I likes the characters of Yoji, Subaru and Mizuki better than the main characters. Yoji and Subaru was kakoiiii…they are so cool. I can’t sense the chemistry between Kanon and Junya. Beside, both of them, their expression too flat. The story line was good, you would feel curious and still want to know what happened at the next episodes and what happened to Kanon when she was young. But I feel a bit disappointed at the end, because it’s flat ending. I don’t like it. The song was good too, easy listening :p

This is light dorama, it’s about three siblings tried to find out their parents murderer. To achieved avenge for their parents, they acted that they haven’t contacted each others for long time in front of the police who knows them. They even became swindler which actually at the first their sister had been swindled by the swindler and they tried to swindle back the money from the swindler but after that they fall into the swindler world. When they acted as swindler, they used the scenario to support their action and it’s really funny. I like it especially with Koichi, he is so funny. His brother and sister always tease him. The songs were good and easy listening too. Nishikido’s acting was good and it’s really different from his usual roles. He is not cool at all at here. As usually, Toda’s acting was good, she better takes though girl’s roles than weak girl’s roles. She wasn’t good as weak girl. Ninomiya’s acting was good too, I likes his expression especially when he knows who the murderer and when his siblings teased him.

Finished watched it few weeks ago. I really like it. The storyline was good and the pace goes smoothly. When seen Yamapi’s scene at here for the first time, I just laugh because can’t stand with his curly hair and just asked “What’s wrong with him? Why he must change his hair style?” But soon I don’t mind with the style and it can makes me forgot that he was Yamapi and I known that he is Aizawa. Funny huh?! Erika Toda had interesting character at here, I like her at here. It’s different from her usual character. I don’t like Shiraishi, she is not a tough person and bit annoying. It’s different with Hiyama. And I don’t like Fujikawa too, he was too annoying and likes to gossip. Such an annoying character. The songs was good and easy listening, you must try to listen it :p

Original writing (novel): She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan (射雕英雄传) by Jin Yong (金庸)

Synopsis:
Based on the novel “Legend of Condor Hero” by Jin Yong, the story is set in the middle of Song Dynasty and at the beginning of the Nuzhen Invasion of China. Two dedicated Song Dynasty young men, Yang Tie Xin (楊鐵心) and Guo Xiao Tian (郭嘯天) find out that their wives are pregnant. They promise each other that when their children are born, they would become either sworn brothers or sworn sisters (if both are the same gender) or be married if they were of different genders. One night they befriend a Taoist priest named Qiu Chuji (丘處機) of Quan Zhen Sect who’s wanted by Jin soldiers. Qiu Chuji dispatches soldiers coming to arrest him with ease and leaves when he sees a signal of his Sect appear in the night sky.

Yang’s kind hearted wife, Bao Xirou (包惜弱), rescues a wounded man who turns out to be the Jin prince Wanyan Honglie (完顏洪烈). When the Jin soldiers return, the two families are torn asunder. Wanyan Honglie takes Bao Xirou to the Jin capital while Guo Li Ping is taken by a greedy Jin soldier, Duan Tiande, to the Mongolian outskirts. Both women believe that their husbands perished trying to save them.

Upon discovering his friends’ demise, Qiu Chuji vows to find their children and teach them kung fu so that they can avenge the wrong done to their families. Hot on the trail of Duan Tiande (段天德), Qiu Chuji “befriends” The 7 Weirdos of Jiangnan (江南七怪). In exchange for helping Qiu Chuji find the two women, they make a friendly wager. Upon finding the children of Yang and Guo, each side will teach the child they find their kung fu. On the 18th birthday of the two children, they will all gather and have the two duel each other. The rest of the series depicts the trials and tribulations that the two sons underwent. Guo Jing (郭靖), Guo Xiao Tian’s son grows up in Mongolia, under the protection of Genghis Khan. Yang Kang (楊康), on the other hand, grows up as a prince in the Jin Empire.

When a pact between their martial arts masters brought them together and the truth behind their fathers’ deaths was revealed, one found martial arts enlightenment and a cause greater than his own while the other descended into darkness and destroyed everything and everyone around him.

2 cents:
I finished watched this series 1 month ago. I watched it because of Ariel Lin and Hu Ge, so biased huh?! But I really likes Ariel’s acting even if Hu Ge didn’t get involved with this series, I still would watched it. But I more like it with Hu Ge in this series. I ever seen their chemistry when the paired up together at Fairy in Wonderland. The chemistry between them more strong than when their in Fairy in Wonderland. IMHO, Ariel more suitable as Huang Rong than Zhou Xun and Hu Ge more suitable as Guo Jing than Li Ya Peng. Even though I can’t stand with Guo Jing’s hair at the beginning because it’s makes Hu Ge looks not good and I really likes it near to the end because his hair already tidy and Hu Ge looks better. But I can’t stand with Anthony Wong as Huang Yao Shi, I prefer Kenneth Zhang as Huang Yao Shi in 1983’s version. He was more suitable than Anthony Wong. For 5 greatest, I still likes 1983’s version.

Overall this series very entertainted even the story had modification here and there. But the outline story still same with the book. I feel surprised when I know Yang Kang’s death very different from the book. It’s really amused me. And Mu Nian Ci, she really powerless. I don’t likes her at here, she can easily used by Yang Kang. Ou Yang Ke’s loves towards Mu Nian Ci, it’s really touched and I prefer if Mu Nian Ci ended up with him than Yang Kang in this series. But too bad, Mu Nian Ci only loves Yang Kang and too cold towards him.

About the songs, it’s easy listening. Ying Xiong Mo and Wo Zhi Neng Ai Ni is my favourites. You must tried to listen it by yourself.

Arghhh…I already missed Ariel and Hu Ge. Can’t hardly wait for Butterfly Lovers to see Hu Ge again but in this movie Hu Ge play as a villain. Too bad huh?! But I thought he accept this role because he want to tried to play as a villain.
