    Omedetou to all the winners, specially to NINO. Love his acting.

  • delikizzz

    congrats to all winners. I love nino’s acting even though the show was boring as hell….

  • mirai_no_yume

    Freeter winning with a gap of more then half of the points more: yay,yay!!!!!!! sugaoi desu~
    didn’t think of freeter as boring at all….. this dorama brought me to the edge of tears and was well acted out by everyone contributing to the shown success, so omedetou minna-sama!!!!!

    and happy for toda erika, or more to say, for her representing spec, as i loved this one big time <3 but since the ratings weren't all that great didn' think it would appear at all, so now i count myself contend and can do nothing but agree with the rating ^w^

  • Pinklett

    hmmmmm. Guilty had a pretty decent plot but the acting was weak. from both the starring actors (Kanno & Tamaki). Great job Nino & well done Aya Ueto, not fan of hers but she was really convincing in Nageraboshi.

    Nino and Aya<3 They were amazing in Freeter and Nagareboshi~
    I wish Erichan won with SPEC though.

  • imoyaki

    wow! freeter beat Ryomaden and aibou??? too awesome! great job nino! :)

  • eyeless

    Freeter is a great drama, and I like Nino .. so this result is awesome.

    But what makes it more awesome is that Acchan got votes to be #5 despite all the critics :P

    waaahhhhh!!! Omedeto Nino!!

  • Super~Nezumi

    Excellent showing, Freeter! I found it touching, an overall good show. I am kind of “huh?!” about it beating out Ryomaden which was outstanding but I also think that says a lot about Freeter’s cast and quality…and fan voting power ^^ I think Nino’s a very good actor, better than Fukuyama or Mizutani….ummm, not yet, but at least I don’t cringe at the results. The Neen has a lot of talent and is working hard at developing it.

    I agree with Pinklett that Kanno’s acting was a little weak, but I still found Guilty addictive (what can I say, I’m a die-hard Kanno fan)

    Points about this that made it Happy Dance Approved: great showing by Aibou…Goro-chan actually pulling a second-place and not losing by too many votes 8D…Nagareboshi’s support.

    Nino omedettooooo, zutto ganbaro!!!!!

  • Ariyaa

    nino you deserved to be best actor, and this drama really deserved to watch.

  • D_YaNa

    uwaaa~~ Omedetou~~ Nino-chan you really deserved it~~ <3<3

  • Neika

    Nagareboshi was very good, i enjoyed it..i thought aya ueto was the lead actress, how is she a supporting for that role?

  • 303aegiszx

    That’s exactly what I thought.. She was most definitely the lead..

  • 303aegiszx

    Nice results!

    Nino is showing time and time again, he’s most likely the best actor in Arashi due to the roles he has been casted into. He does still have ways to go to catch up to Fukuyama and Goro, but he’s getting there! Karina did a great job as well, but I agree with Aya getting the nod over her due to Aya’s vast experience.

    agree with you. his acting was good but the drama itself is boring. i stopped watching it after episode 2.
