I saw "First Kiss" a little while ago. It's a nice, fairly charming - if predictable - little show.

Just started Ii Hito (Good Person) http://jdorama.com/drama.154.htm. Kusanagi is so goofy and naive, kind of a smarter (but not much) Forrest Gump, and Miho Kanno in one of her first roles. So far, so good.

Ep 3 of Uta no Onii-san. Thanx to Geezer. :glomp:

Just what I was looking for.

Light, sometimes a bit silly but well done and engaging nevertheless.

:thumbsup:

Ep. 1 of Atashinchi no Danshi.

?????????????????????????????

Someone who've seen it pls be so kind as to explain to me WTH was all that about. If it's suppose to be a comedy/farce/black-comedy/fantasy/fairy-tale then I totally missed it as I didn't as much as smile one iota during the whole ep.. I've watched JDrama's for 20+ yrs., read all kinds of mangas regularly, love Nodame but I've never seen anything like this. There must have been some dynamite stuff smoked when they came up with and green-lighted this one.

^ Is there a thread for this drama?

If so, you might check it out for some answers... :victory:

It's a new show for the spring 09 season, so only the 1st ep. has been aired. I don't want to create a new thread as it's highly unlikely I would watch another ep..

Is this the Horikita Maki show? The synopsis sounded ridiculous.

I have digged out Manhattan Love Story and it's pure bliss. But I am driving my colleagues nuts because I can't stop singing this stupid line from Tokio's ending song: Love Love Manhattan, Manhattan Love Love :sweat:

Yes it is. My apologies for being facetious with the 1st remark :bonk: ; better leave it to people who're interested and like discussing the drama to create a new thread, lest I spew more venom on the show... :sweat:

I enjoyed Manhattan Love Story so much that I actually dug out a few of my favorite old episodes of Columbo to watch in between each of the last 4 or 5 episodes.

You're always welcome. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Thanks to shin2 I got to watch Kacho-san no Yakudoshi

http://jdorama.com/drama.535.htm

I normally complain about over-acting, and silly over the top scripts... but this show was the whole other end of the spectrum. It was so low key, the misfortunes that befell the chief were so mild... there were times that I completely forgot that I was watching the show. And when I came back to it a day or two later, I really wasn't sure where I'd left off.

The show and the characters did grow on me eventually, and in the end I was sorry to see it go.

One thing that might have slowed me down. Hagiwara Kenichi was the star and I'd never seen him play anything but bad guys. Scary bad guys. And in this show, whenever his character forced a smile it made me think of a movie arch villain, smiling just before he went out to stab a puppy.

So I went to look for something else he had done, something else I might have seen, that would make me feel more comfortable with him playing the lead of a famly sit com. What I found was this report from a Japanese newspaper.

Actor Hagiwara Kenichi (54) was found guilty yesterday at the Tokyo District Court on charges of attempted blackmail. He was handed down an 18-month prison sentence, as sought by prosecutors, though it was suspended for three years. Though he earlier challenged the charges, he said by fax that he will abide by the verdict and will not lodge an appeal. "Shoken" was kicked off a movie project last summer and later allegedly made telephone threats against producers, demanding he be paid his full fee of \18 million and dropping the name of a yakuza organization. He was arrested at his home four and a half months ago, with TV cameras capturing the scene. He made his name as vocalist of the "group sounds" band The Tempters back in the 1960s. He became a popular TV actor in the early 1970s. He was arrested for drug possession in 1983 and again for drunk driving in 1984.

Geez!

Man, the one change I would have made with this show is, I would have had Nagatsuka Kyozo & Hagiwara Kenichi switch roles.

Oh well, a little late now.

Up thru epi 5 of Ii Hito and this is really good!! Got a bonus in episode 5, Yuko Takeuchi at about 16 probably in her first drama. :applaud:

Rewatching Love Shuffle. My favorite from this past winter.

Started wathing Ashita no Kita Yoshio...
I can't believe I missd this the first ime around...
now, the HD versions are no longer around so I have to settle for SD.

Anyway, I'm surprised about this drama - I never expected that I would actualy like it....and shinobu being cute sure doesnt hurt...

Rewatching Tokyo Elevator Girl, after listening to Kokoro Kara Suki by Miyazawa Rie all week. :beaten:
