In Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode Zero we see how the Toru got involved with Asahina, how the name Next Innovation was formed, how Tohno got involved with Next Innovation and also what led to his leaving Next Innovation. We also see how and when Mr Yamagami joined Next Innovation. Generally, it's just about how Next Innovation grew and got into the stock market.
The cast is the same as the original cast from the drama, there is no unknown cast :).
The acting also didn't fall short, plus, this is just 11 minutes and some few seconds long.

This Kami no Shizuku is the last puzzle Kanzuki (Kame) has to solve before he can inherit the wine collection his father left behind.
Kanzuki wasn't on good terms with his Dad till he died, so there were thousands of unanswered questions and the only way Kanzuki could get answers is by solving each and every puzzle his Dad left him. Apart from this, Kanzuki has vowed not to drink wine again at his 20th b'day, but in order to solve these puzzles he will have to at least taste various wines.
Kami no Shizuku isn't all about wine, there's of course romance, comedy and family issues also. I'm seriously waiting to watch a Japanese drama without family-related matters!!!! There's always something about it.
KnS is really educational, they were using wine terminologies and not lay man's language which I really found interesting. There were also side notes LOL!!!! Well, believe it or not I took notes of almost every side note :p. Funny right?? What is left now, is for me to organise a trip to France and spend a year polishing the skills I got from a Japanese drama of 9 eps lol!!!
Notwithstanding, KnS is really a good drama!!!! After watching this drama, you won't be able to drink or look at wines the same again. Well, for me it has changed my whole perspective about wines. So, if you're interested in seeing how good an actor Kame is, or you want to test your knowledge about wines, please do go ahead and watch this drama!!!

Liar Game is not only fantastic but awesome (they don't mean the same thing right?). Liar Game is a Japanese drama. As the name implies is a game based on lying. I actually watched this drama because of it's title. I have also read it's manga synopsis (it an adaptation from the manga) months ago. Okay, enough with the history.
Liar Game is a drama filled with mind reading, thinking far ahead of others, being smart, lying, deceit, trust.... to make the list short. It's filled with psychology and how good you can manipulate and trick people. Liar Game is divided into 3 parts (It has 2 seasons and a movie titled The final stage). The first season has 11 episodes, the second 9 episodes and the movie. For me this is one of the best Japanese dramas I have watched.
Storyline - The drama is about a stupidly honest girl (Nao) (as in she damn too honest for her own good, plus she trust people without any doubt). She got caught up in this liar game, due to her inability to play the game right she seeked the help of a guy called Akiyama Shin'chi. Things got pretty interesting as they try to survive through the game, by manipulating their opponents and saving every participants from falling into debt. They had to try to gain their opponnet's trust because that's Nao's motto.
Plot- The plot was basically playing various games, that includes deceiving, manipulating and the other stuffs. Among the games were, Russian Roulette, 17 Joker, Contraband, Gold rush.......
Acting - The naive and trusting girl was played by Erika Toda - she is really a good actress, she portrayed what it means to be naive, stupid if not dumb and also innocently stubborn. Akiyama-san was played by Matsuda Shota, he was just too smart and he really had the aura (I don't think anyone could have done a better job). There's the ever- betraying and weirdly dressed Fukunaga. Every actor really did a good job. They also had ridiculous way of laughing that would make you want to burst out into laughter just by hearing it.
Music - The music and beats was just too perfect (I'm not exaggerating, honestly). The music has a way of making one's heartbeat race.
I really didn't see anything wrong with the drama all in all. The drama was okay and I really enjoyed. The drama also made me love Matsuda Shota and I have also taken a liking to Erika Toda also.
I love this drama beacuse of the music and I also learnt a couple of things. We can all work together as one; to gain people's trust one must be a person of his/her words; there are ways of gaining people's trust (that sounds tricky right?); the world can be a better place if those that keep doing good keep up with it, not only keep up with it but believe in it; because when one does that, others will also believe in you and in it. I also love Matsuda Shota and Erika Toda (I almost forgot and Fukunaga also).
I sincerely hope you enjoy Liar Game!!!!

That aside, the story itself, is really funny, a high school girl, who has an on/off switch mode. One minute she is prim and proper; in another minute she's a ball of mess.... In between all these personality changes all of stuffs happen, that will really make you laugh till you drop --- I actually laughed till I dropped hehehe.
As for the music, it's okay, but there's this particular that was sung towards the end. THAT one was the real deal.
Generally, SG is worth watching.

It's no different from it's synposis, a clean freak-arrogant-proud-always- get- what- he- wants guy meets an untidy-impulsive-stupidly-kind hearted girl and the God of love pulled a fast one on both of them. And of course, there are characters that don't want both of them to be together. Actually the storyline might not be any difference, but the plot was well-laid.
The main characters had issues from their past, that they've lived with and they have to challenge their present, in other to be able to solve (let go) the past. Most of the characters also underwent some changes as the drama unfolds i.e they had a better and clearer perspective towards life and...... The acting and the characters were wonderfully portrayed, mixing the characters up would be impossible.
The OSTs were really good, I for one have no complaints whatsoever about the OSTs.

It has a common storyline, that I have to admit-- The Forbidden love storyline. Although the storyline is nothing new, the plot was wonderful. The plot had a twisted feel to it, the scenes weren't predictable AT ALL (....hmmm... okay some were)
Needless to say, Mizushima and Osamu Mukai keyed into their roles wonderfully, they were really perfect for the roles. The actress was okay, this is my first time seeing her in a drama, nevertheless, she acted her role well. There were a lot of cute, random and weird moments/scenes among the maidens and their butlers, these are not moments or scenes that you what to miss out on. There were a lot of face-offs between the casts, this made the drama more interesting.
It's really worth watching.
