On topic: Watched the first episode of Osama no Restaurant. Seems like a promising drama and it's about time I started watching it, huh, shin2! :beaten:

Wot?! Auwe, hell has frozen over. LOL Just kidding . . . but I figured you'd be a tutu by the time you got around to watching it.

It's the best written, best acted comedy dorama I've seen. A Mitani Koki script and a terrific ensemble cast. And absolutely zero fanservice! :applaud:

Finishing the last ep of The Bad Dad.
Think the ending wont be too strong but the series was certainly amusing for me. No complaints except for the main actresses role. So annoying. :grumble:

Watched Itsumo Futari de ep 8 today. And about 15 minutes of Honjitsu mo Hare for translating.

Thanks, AD for your quick reply...

I really had never heard of this one...I guess there's a lot that gets under my radar...

Kuninaka Ryoko's in it: I'm sure Ralph's radar has picked it up... If he hasn't already seen it...

Haha, I guess better late than never? :mrgreen: And I ain't gonna be a tutu EVER. (No kids, please!) :sweat:

Agreed that it's a great comedy drama. Not sure if it's the best, but then again, I only just started on it...

If he doesn't have it, I'll probably send it to him since he helped me out, plus I'm the one who made that drama available on DVD. :)

On topic: Watched episode 3 of Ohsama no Restaurant today.

Hmm, I had that on your list of dramas I was supposed to send you... Oh well.

Really? Actually, shin2 just send them to me without my knowing what was being sent. And what else is on the list? I might have them already. :sweat:

Warning - I tried to download this and apparently there are a few seasons - One doesn't have Yuko in it. I was sad and deleted it. I want to find the REAL one!

On topic: decided to pick up the first episode of Hana yori Dango tonight. I'll be giving Daisuki another chance for sure, but I just wanted to get to see something else. I swear - in the first 3 minutes of Hana yori Dango, it totally reminded me of the music and visual direction from Galileo - I'm here to see if they're the same directors...

Just finish one pound gospel. i wanted to watch it then but i didn't have time. kame is really funny desu ne? honto ni cute.

While making a set of copies I bowed to temptation and rewatched an episode of "Sweet Home" last night. There's just nobody like Tomoko.

Man I wish the Japanese TV companies would step up the process of releasing some of the older shows on DVD. A few have been dribbling onto the market but...

I wanna see "29th Christmas"!!!!!

First episode of Hana yori Dango completed. The main character's really cute but boy is it predictable, even already. Immensely satisfying to see the heroine exact her revenge for the scorned prawn, however. Always nice to see a bully get his comeuppance, even if short lived.

I have this on VCD actually, but without English subs. If you like, I can send you a copy.

I found this dorama rather charming. Loved the theme song by W-inds.

I like this one, the ending was quite good. Motoki Masahiro put in a great performance but the support cast didn't get much material to work with.

Good to know, gawd I hate mediocre endings :victory:

Eve wrote:

I saw about 3 or 4 eps of that one. I liked it but not enough to see the entire series. I liked the main actor so much in White Love Story that I tried it.

HeLs quite charming actually :victory: - I had never seen a drama with him and the series is easy to watch - I might finish it.
BTW did you manage to finish Yaoh?

OT Love Shuffle episode 8 - the cliffhangers are killing me. Also this drama has such bad ratings, it makes me think that the jdorama community and the Japanese mainstream audience have very little in common, taste-wise.

I watched the first 3 episodes and enjoyed it too. It's really not bad, nothing special about it, but it's light and fun.

just saw Scandal. The four women are wonderful. Very convincing. At first i actually thought it was going to be like a japanese version of desperate housewives, but then the opening scene was kind of weird and towards the end there was this mysterious dude and the police so it was a sharp turn from what i actually had expected. Lol
