Episode 7 of Shiroi Haru, anything with Abe is a must watch, taking my time with it though, starting to OD a bit with my drama watching, think I've watched 6 or 7 in the last month.
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, I really wasn't expecting much from this show and frankly it is pretty dumb. But I found the first couple of eps funny, so the enjoyment level is there for me.

Almost done with Shiroi Haru, not sure how it will end which is good. Think next will be Mop Girl, went thru eveyone's reviews, most seemed to think it was solid but not great, watched 4 Abe dramas in a row, don't want to OD on him. _________________

You'll be surprised.

Most people are talking about Kitagawa Keiko, but the person who owned this drama was Tanihara Shosuke... One of the more underrated actors in J-drama.

I enjoy Tanihara Shosuke quite a bit too, you're right about him being underrated, noticed you gave Mop Girl a 7.5/10, seemed most rated it in that area, after Shiroi Haru, need a less serious one. _________________

Attempted ep1 of Tsuki no Koibito. After that, I found myself greatly relieved to watched ep4 of Shinzanmono despite my grouses about the drama. The overall quality of acting is immediately obvious and the story doesn't go all over the place. _________________

Finished Shiroi Haru, like was mentioned the ending was a bit unpredicatable, way the story went you forgot a bit about his previous incident. And is there any role Hiroshi Abe can't play to the nth degree? Much more serious than a lot of his other roles, really liked how is character grew as the series went on. Yuriko Yoshitaka was also good, complete reversal of her Love Shuffle role, also good to see Kenichi Endo with a big role, plus the little girl who played Sachi really was superb. Final rating of 9.5/10, not quite perfect but hard to find many dramas as good. Guess now on to Mop Girl, need a bit of a light hearted one after this one. _________________

I really liked this drama until the final, tragic episode... It seemed so incredibly unfair...

^^ Yeah, forgot to add that in about the ending, you're right about that.
Up to episode 4 of Mop Girl, okay so far, like the goofy character Kitagawa is, face wise in this drama she sure looks a lot like Asami Mizugawa, maybe it's just me. _________________

Attention Please....makes me want to ask my sis-in-law if cabin attendants go through all that....hehehe.... Just finished watching Coffee Prince, I think I'm getting hooked on korean drama! The OSTs are probably some of my all-time favorites.

Don't you mean Asami Mizukawa...?
Hmm, maybe hair-wise, but I think Asami is prettier.
From this season I've been following Tsuki no Koibito, Sunare, Mother, Shinzanmono and Yankee kun to megane chan. Out of those I was pleasantly surprised by Yankee and I look forward to it the most each week. Mother is a lot less light-hearted but is really emotional and good too!
On the side I just started Gonzo, needing an Uchino Masaaki fix after watching Jin. Wheeee no time to sleep...!

Asami is more attractive but face wise Kitagawa looks like her little sister, not quite a twin. 
well,,,Ken-chan is not a female dog tho
