what tha f* magazine it is....if you're dying to get it i can go to j-town see if they have it at kinokuniya....

what mag is that of? Didn't see anything much last week while at LA tokyo Kinokuniya, they seem to have a decent selection, but not that great. Up north this week and checked out SF Kinokuniya, a bit disappointed at the selection, didn't see all that much of J-idols. I guess the Kinokuniya's here in the USA are one-story. Too bad they can't be multilevel like in Japan. :bonk:

I guess Asahiya didn't have it yet, since it's a very recent release.

And if I didn't know any better, I think that's Nana on the cover. ;)

That's her alright.

I'll check Kinokuniya San Jose the next time I'm there.

Thanks.

Story

Chizuru Otsuki (Ryoko YONEKURA) is a modern woman who works at a hotel in Daiba, Tokyo. One day, she visits Seiichiro, her older brother (Toru NAKAMURA) in Seoul, Korea where he works at the Seoul branch of a Japanese major food company, and finds his dead body in his apartment.

The police concludes it is a suicide as Seiichiro must have felt responsible for the declined sales, but Chizuru is not convinced and believes he was murdered. She decides to investigate this case on her own.

During the course of the investigation, Chizuru meets Hon Tezin (CHI Jinhee), a Korean detective who also suspects Seiichiro was murdered. Chizuru and Hon hate each other at first, but they decide to work on the case together. As they investigate, Seiichiro went on a trip with Kim Efa(HAN Hee), his assistant, and had an affair. Seiichiro left his family in Japan, and was supposed to be loyal to his wife.

Chizuru and Hon find out where Efa is and visit her in Ichon that is known for ceramic arts, where they obtain the proof of Seiichiro's trip with Efa. Hon criticizes Seiichiro's insincerity and Chizuru is hurt deeply, when Sonagi, downpour shower that is peculiar to Korea.

Then, Chizuru is overwhelmed with the emotion that she has restrained and cries in Hon's arms. Hon is suspended by his boss as he has been investigating the case without permission, and Chizuru is worried about his future and asks him to give up the case strongly. Someone starts to threaten them which makes them more convinced that Seiichiro was murdered, but with no solid evidence, the case remains unsolved.

Having given up the investigation, Chizuru returns to Ito, her hometown, to get the training of becoming a mistress of the hot spring inn that her family runs. Then Hon comes to see her. Kanako (Yuriko ISHIDA), Seiichiro's wife, tells him that Chizuru likes him. While he is flattered, he finds something there and just leaves with it.

As Chizuru tries to figure out why Hon suddenly disappeared and recall how he behaved in Korea, she starts to suspect that he could be the one who killed Seiichiro. The story makes unexpected turns, and Chizuru and Hon confront each other on the rooftop of a skyscraper in Seoul where Seiichiro worked...

Just don't treat your body like it was an amusement park. :hehe: :hehe:

Wow, I just revisited this entire thread. It sure is a long time coming, huh? Let me check the place for subtitles...

Edit: not found at Kloofy. Further searching found it was aired on NGN in 2003, though it is not clear if English subs were provided. However with the DVD being released, it shouldn't be long until subtitles are created....I hope.

Ryoko-chan playing pool. :love_eyes: :bonk:

Hmm, if I had some kinda script, document, etc. with the dialog, I'd try my hand at subbing the thing... :sweat:

Wait a minute....Ji Jin-hee??? The hot doctor from Love Letter (kdrama)? WHOA. :bonk:

Nana!, i didn't see "Frau" mag at the SF or SJ kinokuniya, nor did i see it at the Costa Mesa Kinokuniya either last week. It must've not come in yet. I did see Nana on another beauty mag, but someone bought it while i was browsing other mag's. So, Ryoko is in that mag as well? I will definitely keep my eye out for it. :bonk:

So will I, Q.... If either of us get a hold of it, we can divy up the pics. :hehe:

Made my first viewing today... Not bad, considering the lack of subs. Interestingly, since the two main characters don't speak the other's languages, there is some English conversation between the two... :D Hearing Ryoko-chan speak English is quite exciting.... :bonk:

As typical with most J-dramas there's some predictability in the plot, but you have to not dwell on it...

Hmm, to sub it, it'll require knowledge of Japanese and Korean... :sweat:

Screencaps from Sonagi are coming... ;)

Are there any Japanese subs? Well, I'd assume so for at least the Korean and English parts. But if only for that it'd probably be hardsubbed :sweat: If you aren't sure how to navigate the menu to check for sub tracks, if there are subtitles it should probably say Žš–‹ which is "jimaku".

Anyway, even Japanese subs would kick ass but with many Japanese DVD's they seem not to care much for hearing impaired (or Japanese learners) :hehe: I think they care a lot for blind people with all of the yellow bubbled sidewalk paths :hehe:

:doh: I forgot about that. Yeah, when they're not speaking Japanese, it's hardsubbed...

Nope, no subs at all. Pretty much zilch as far as extras, too.

But the video and audio are great. :inlove:
