Who doesn't love a cast full of boys?
Definitely checking this drama out.

oooo ichihara hayato eh? excited much?! hehe XD But I am not sure of the plot, seems boring to me =/

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/ROOKIES <-- update with cast/character chart, etc.

ichihara hayato..!!!

definitely watching dis!!! alot of hot guys.. *drools*

I don't know whether I want to watch it or know. I like Shirota a lot (tenimyu~<3), but I think I wouldn't really like the series at all judging from the synopsis >-<;

I have to say, I hate their hair with a passion!

KOIDE KEISUKE!!! I can't wait to watch this drama! OMG...2008 rocks!

I've watched 1st eps & have to say it totally rawks my sock XDDD

Anyone has info about the rating?

12.2%.

it's too bad about the ratings because i think this show is amazing!!!!!!!

when i read the synopsis i thought it was part of the "Gokusen" genre, but these delinquents are BAD-ASS to the tenth degree! They make gokusen boys look like angels.

sadly i can't watch it with sub, but it's still so interesting.
I love the cast (some of the guys are pretty cute)...i can't believe what a transformation they went under...esp Nakao Akiyoshi (guy with mohawk)

^why can't you watch it with sub? Need some help?

I skipped this because I already picked up gokusen 3 and I didn't feel the need for another delinquent - teacher show. But it looks good though!

^ ooops sorry, i worded that wrong what i meant to say was that there are no hard subs, and soft subs are coming out slowly. so i'm watching this on veoh with no subs!

thanks for offering though!
it is very good. the first foreign drama where i actually have the patience to watch without subs.
(not gonna lie, at this point i just watch it for the fighting and the guys. but i'm sure there's a great plot behind it! lol)

ooo where to download this?????????

so far so good. I like this drama. It's a little similar to Gokusen but I like it better. I can't wait for ep. 2. WHOA!! Shirota is being such a bad ass.

Ep1: 12.2%
Ep2: 14.8%
Ep3: 15.4%

Rating is really picking up!

OMG!! I cant believe tht ppl dont know where to get softsubs and hardsubs for these...

Here...

Hardsubs

Softsubs

Enjoy. It's really a good drama... Makes Gokusen 3 fight scenes like a 'girlie' fight.

Lol thas what I said
it's like that ep from Gokusen 1 where Eiji Wentz guest starred

currently watching up tp ep 2 hardsubbed....i'm in love with Ichihara Hayato.....

it's definitely more amusing than Gokusen 3

that's why i love this drama. they're so hardcore lol. doesn't matter if ur a friend or an enemy, you're still bound to get your ass kicked
i ever started to read the manga b/c of this
not to mention i love the [supporting] cast. they can all act really well

kind of funny how Ayase Haruka appeared in the first episode. I wonder if she will appear in the other episode. I am watching ep 2 tonight.

im enjoying this series. =D

i like the fighting scenes. they dont look so "fake".
also i think each member's return to baseball was nicely done.
nothing too abrupt. each had a reason to return. not just "oh i decide to join again b/c i have to since the drama says so" lolls

omg im so crazy about this show. thank you skewed-timeless subs! ep 5 has got to be the best yet!!!

i love how they all make fun of each other

TBS seem to be promoting Rookies a lotttttttt. i watched the first ep....im not a fan of sports drama but this was alright~ the cast is pretty promising and i love GReeeeN~ any drama with GReeeeN song is bound to be decent hahaha

wow shirota!

where can i find epis with subs?

eng subs i have no clue LOLS. d-addicts? mysoju? i dunno
krn subs. kangjegu's clubbox has it all.

hayato ichihara looks freaking hot in this xDDDD

the majority of the cast is incredibly strong, I love watching them act! and GReeeeN + ROOKIES is amazing!




you can find them on d-addicts. Skewed-Timeless are subbing it together...the latest release was ep.5




seriouuussssly....his voice is so sexy!
