Guest t3n5h1_chu_k015h173 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Kimura Takuya 木村拓哉 & Takeuchi YukoTitle: Pride プライド Telecast: 2004-01-12 to 2004-03-22 TV Station: Fuji TV Viewership: 25.1% Takuya is the captain and star player of an ice hockey team, who is greatly respected by his teammates. For him, hockey is serious business that fully occupies his mind, while he treats romance as if it were a game. Yuko is a typical businesswoman, and is waiting for her boyfriend to return from studying architecture abroad. At this point in time however, he shows no sign of coming back. One day, Yuko's friends who are determined to find her a new boyfriend, invite her to watch an ice hockey game. There she sees Kimura for the first time. After the game, Yuko and her friends join the players for a party celebrating their victory. Yuko, however, is not so excited to be there. When she leaves the party, she bumps into Kimura, who was slightly injured from a fight. They exchange e-mail addresses and part. The sparks of mutual attraction are ignited in a second encounter between Yuko and Kimura, arranged with the help of her friends shortly after a party. Sato has come as a replacement for the team's coach who has been hospitalized. Kimura has a lot of respect for the hospitalized coach. Unfortunately though, he can't stand Sato's way of doing things. Bringing with him a lot of coaching experience from overseas, Sato criticizes the former coach's strategies. Whenever Kimura and Sato see each other, they get into a quarrel—consequently influencing Kimura's behavior during games. Seeing that his game ended in a brawl, Yuko visits Kimura to comfort him. But he tells her that she is being too friendly with him. Yuko is hurt, Kimura is irritated, and his teammate Sakaguchi can't stand seeing Kimura like this... Soundtrack and Theme Songs 1.

Guest MissMonika Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 PRIDE!! YES!! My absolute FAVORITE Kimura Takuya drama. Sooo awesome. Ok, I admit, the hockey scenes really sucked but the overall story was great. I love the chemistry between Halu and Aki "Maybe. Must be" Hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest novemberbaby Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 It's my favorite Kimura Takuya drama. THe hockey scenes are filmed beautifully and you can really feel how proud Halu is of his sport. I like it when he reaches for his left shoulder during each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorprinzess Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think there is a tie between Pride and Long Vacation for being my favorite Takuya drama. Yet I really do like this drama a lot. I thought Takuya had amazing chemistry with Yuko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside the titles are numbers representing the episode in which the song is being played. Episodes that are not listed means that no new songs were being played.

Guest strawberrynkiwi Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 It was highly enjoyable. I don't like Yuko though. Takuya was alright, but I did like the whole hockey team spirit. The ending was a disappointment. I gotta agree with everyone, OST is the best. I dunno, everyone said it was a REALLY REALLY good drama, so I had high expectation. So I was a little disappointed.

Pseudonym Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I went to great lengths to find this drama and was not disappointed one bit. Many people like Kimura with Matsu (from "Hero" and "Love Generation") but I like him with Yuko more. Kimura always plays his the roles of his characters as if he was really them. Plus, he pulls off great chemistry with his love interest in his dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
