Yes! The Nodame Cantabile drama is really fantastic. I understand your love of Tamaki Hiroshi -- even though I'm not typically the type of person to fawn over actors, I really was taken by his Chiaki. It definitely has something to do with the role, in my case -- I've seen him in other roles since, and it's just not the same. I think it's primarily the dynamic between him & Nodame -- especially his "haa?" moments.

I've seen far less JDramas than I have Korean ones ... how do you feel about those?
