    Default Pride

    I love this drama....one of the best J-drama ever.....the acting was excellent..... everyone did such a good job...specially the main girl so pretty....

    I start to get addicted to J-drama.....cus I watched too much korean drama which is annoying some time cus of slow motion....

    If anyone havent watch j-drama b4 should try it cus it pretty good.... it not as slow as korean... so active...and the acting pretty good

    I love the opening song too, Queen's - I was born to love you.

    That is so so so true!!

    I watched the couple of episodes of Pride, didn't really like it, I prefer Kimura's other series, Good Luck was prett good. His much older series like Love Generation, Long Vacation were some of my favourite shows, somehow his newer shows don't really appeal to me anymore.

    I didn't fancy Pride too (or Engine), probably because Pride was essentially an idol drama. I wish they focused more on the ice hockey players and their game rather than the romances. After Haru and Aki got together the drama became quite cliche.

    .. Haru and Aki, Autumn and Spring.. love the names.

    eniwai, I re-watch Love Generation at the moment, and honestly I dunno why I love Takuya.. he's average looking and skinny. Maybe he can act cool guy very well

    Eniwai, I love Pride because I haven't watch his series after a long long time, and finally see him here, so kawaii-desu. he,he,he,he....

    I know there's a lot of cliche, but still I root for him no matter what

    I don't think there was any doubt in my mind that they will get together eventually, their names basically gave it away the moment they were introduced.

    Haha yeah that's true. I didn't like the wishy washy manner in which their relationship unfolded and the return of the ex just made Pride an increasingly exasperating show to watch. Kimutaku's dramas haven't been quite as good since One Million Stars Falling from the Sky.

    The most of other sub-characters in Pride were also rather inconsequential so Pride ranks low in my list of favourite dramas.

    i love this drama! it took me like 2 episodes to get into it..at first i thought aki was kind of boring, but i their relationship quite interesting... despite the cliches, it had enough romance and team bonding to keep me entertained

    Yeah! Pride is a pretty good show to watch... The hockey was very realistic, not to mention that Takuya Kimura looks good on and off the ice! The girl playing Aki was also sweet... really liked to watch the 2 of them together...

    My fav scenes from the show are:
    1) When Aki called Haru's name before he stepped on the ice
    2) When Aki did not look away during the hockey game & showed Haru the tooth that he gave her

    I also like the part when he kissed her eyelid... so sweet...

    Anyone here watched PRide?


    I just started to watch it... I am not a fan of Takuya, but I found his acting pretty decent in here. Thank god he got rid of that F4 hair.

    There's already a discussion here: http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/showthre...ighlight=pride

    He got rid of the hairstyle there but it's a lot more awful in the latest drama he appeared in, a drama special for Hero.

    Pride was alright. I liked the ice hockey idea but the focus seemed to tip more toward relationships than to the training and games, and the relationships weren't very interesting to me. Haru and Aki just didn't cut it for me.
