Did you like ASF when Naoki and Minako finally met? That's what the rest of the drama is like (at least what I've seen so far), all mindgames and intense psycho chemistry and the mystery of her past. There's some other good stuff that comes in but their relationship is the real draw for me.

Finished Pride this weekend, and while I felt the last couple episodes left something to be desired, I enjoyed it immensely.

I feel the same way! (Actually I'm a little excited to find someone else who didn't think it was flawless!)
