"Pride" proud

"And I... was born... to love you,
With every single beat... of my heart..."

--Queen (I Was Born to Love You)

This song by Queen is still ringing in my ears as I've just only recently finished watching the Japanese drama Pride. And I must say what an enjoyable series that was! I loved the chemistry between the leads, the kakkoiiii KimuTaku and the pretty Takeuchi Yuko. The story was great, and the storylines about the other characters were engaging too. And the Queen themes (We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Too Much Love Will Kill You) weren't bad additions either, as the soaring tunes mixed really well with all the well-acted drama.

Haven't really watched a lot of jdoramas (just three so far including this one), but after learning terrific Japanese-made shows like this exist, I think I'm going to get hooked with jdorama now. And if I don't find other jdoramas to watch, I wouldn't mind watching Pride again.
