After "the beginning", I'm gonna write more about the actors/actresses, the dramas I've watched & some recommendations, and why I prefer jdrama over kdrama ^^

I'm not typically the type of person to fawn over actors as well since young. Even until so many jdramas & jmovies, I only like Nao & Kassy for several reasons I'm gonna write later (and Hiroshi is out of the picture by now).

As for Hiroshi, actually I don't love him. I was only smitten by his performance in Nodame (and yes, Juri-chan did make a big difference! She's an awesome actress!) that Hiroshi served as a guideline to what dramas/movies to download (because I didn't really know many dramas by then). So I downloaded lots of dramas with him in it.

And yes, none of his other roles could compete with his Chiaki role. He performed the best being Chiaki, and his Chiaki look is also the best I've seen on him so far. The others just fail to satisfy (he looks thinner & uglier on other roles). But there's two things that I like about him: he can definitely act (not just a pretty face) -- his facial expression is really good when acting, you can tell what he's feeling/thinking/etc. The other thing is: his laugh. He's the most handsome when he laughs. His smile is good, but his laugh is priceless :D
