Alexandra Leaving

Have finished the episode 5 of "Tsuki no Koibito": I am loving this drama, but may be not for the reasons intended. The drama is a good proof of the classical axiom: you should cast stronger /better actors as leads, not as secondary characters. I haven't seen this happening too often , but there are some very well-known cases when the secondary characters completely steal their dramas from the leads ("Queen Seon Deok" is may be the most well-know). "Tsuki no Koibito" is just a little bit like this for me, and of course, the situation might change. I thought I would never consider it possible that someone can steal Takuya Kimura's drama from him, but it is happening before my very eyes. I don't think the fault lies with him, but because his character is heavily entangled in the romance with Lin Chi Ling's character and she is so wooden, I just can't take his character seriously yet. I don't understand where he is coming from or what is moving him; may be this will be revealed in the fullness of time, but we are through the half of the drama! Besides, it doesn't help that evil Kazami is so interesting and that his haircut suits him so much!

I have developed a big weakness for Matsuda Shota. I don't know what has hit me, I have seen him before numerous times, in "Liar Game", "Hana Yori Dango" and "Bara no nai Hanaya" , but it is like I am seeing him for the first time:



Anyways, this was a long-winded prologue to: Does anyone know any good dramas with Matsuda Shota? (Preferably where he is a romantic lead)?????? I will be forever thankful!!
