Love 2000 (2000-nen no Koi)
In truth, he is actually a spy who is to execute someone who turns out to be his own biological father. Secrecy and intrigue have long surrounded Love 2000. No advance footage was ever seen and the trailers did not even give a glimpse of the leads in the serial. The reason behind such a gimmicky publicity stunt may be to thwart the VCD pirates. In a groundbreaking move, Love 2000 will be aired simultaneously throughout Asia. Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand will premiere each episode within hours of each other. It was even reported that the drama's still being filmed as it goes on air. Gorgeous femme fatales, suave double agents, high-speed thrills and spills... let's see if Kaneshiro will be able to top the other famous spy's feats. Love 2000 airs Monday, January 9, 2000 In
an attempt to keep up with the changing times, the Fuji TV network
has come up with 2000-nen no Koi (Mondays at 9 p.m.). Finally we have
a local drama that looks at the wave of the future--computer specialists
and international terrorists. Let us hope the relative ease with which
both stars--systems engineer Miho Nakayama and international terrorist
Takeshi Kaneshiro--zip in and out of the Foreign Ministry is a purely
fictional touch. It seems Kaneshiro's father has slipped out
of an Asian country with secrets of some sort. The Japanese are providing
asylum and his own sons have been sent over to Japan to kill him.
Kaneshiro's brother ends up sacrificing himself in the woods outside
Narita and Kaneshiro is left to carry out the crime. To do so, he
needs a Foreign Ministry file on his father's whereabouts and systems
engineer Miho holds the password. In the process, he begins to fall
for Miho and she for him, the exotic stranger with the Foreign Ministry
ID card who really seems to understand issues like hunger STARRING:

Harada Shuichi I'm sure they meant well and the hype generated in the beginning was understandable because of the stars in this drama. Unfortunately, this drama is eye-candy and many people who saw this abandoned it mid-way. Those who stuck through it all enjoyed it but this drama was against "Beautiful Life" and other popular dramas. It just doesn't matter, it's all eye-candy with an average suspense story.-KNDY Copyright � 1993-2011
