Kamz, I'm afraid I'm repeating myself here, but I need to stress this, so please forgive me: You truly started with the very wrong one! Yamato Nadeshiko etc. is such a silly drama, badly acted on top of it. It pains me that clever people who may appreciate Japanese dramas are deterred because they have started with the wrongest things. Buzzer beat is definitely a nicer drama, although I personally think there are a lot which are way better. Since lately there has been a revival of Love Shuffle (lol), I humbly suggest you give that one a try. I can't imagine you would regret it. :D
Sorry for intruding. :P

I've been wanting to watch this drama for awhile now, but I seem to keep putting it on hold for other dramas. *sigh* So much to see, not enough hours in the day.

i'm not into manga and anime..hopefully i'll get used to loud characters and exaggerated expressions with few more episodes lol...for now it all looks a bit caricatur(ish) :D

Buzzer Beat is one of my fav dramas back when I was a drama novice!

The OST was great, my friend and me dl the whole Ost to realize that the most important part was not included! B`z song is really not in the OST.

huh? excuse moi i think it was ME that started watching BB first & raving about it lol mainly cos of Yamapi hehehe

Anyway now that i hv finally finished the drama i can come here & read this thread.....well I agree with Rita its not the best but its ok i liked the sport/basketball aspect to it...Naoki was a bit too "limp" as a hero to really float my boat. The ending was total Gorgonzola (cheesy)....my fave J-drama is still Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (THNK) - thanks for the recommendation Rita :)

I liked the secondary characters Mai & her BF were cute. I also liked the bitchy ex-girlfriend i found her machinations amusing without her it wld hv been quite a dull drama.

The theme song is quite catchy but not tempted to DL like lost OST in K-dramas.

Ok i have Liar Game 2 to watch & i think someone recommended Kursogi as well.
