Beautiful Life [J-drama] (Kimura Takuya, Tokiwa Takako)
Updated: May 5, 2008
I’m glad to introduce to you one of my most loved Japanese drama of all time, Beautiful life. Even now, watching it 5 years later, I can still feel the adrenalin rush in me. The drama has all of the best: script written by Eriko Kitagawa (Long Vacation, Tell me you love me, Beautiful life, Orange Days, … all classic), main male role by Kimura Takuya (considered the best actor of modern Japan), main female role by Tokiwa Takako (elegant, and extremely talented). Beautiful life is the Japanese drama that has the second highest average viewer rating and highest episode rating of all time, a whooping 41.2% for the final episode. Furthermore, it was subbed by Japan-TV, in my opinion the best Japanese fansub group. I’ll let you decide for yourself whether the buzz is true or not, however, it is for me. So far, it is the only J-drama that made me cry (only a bit at the end though, when Takuya cried).
