Before I'm going to study short-term course at UI, Indonesia, I've been watching jdorama for 3 and half
Begin with UTAHIME, Tomo-‚¿‚á‚ñ@‚¿‚á‚ñ‚Æ‚·‚΂炵‚¢A i don't like the ending though hahah.
Then Ashita no KITA Yoshio,@the story is interesting! but kind of bore on some part.
Just finish today _—lA‚à‚¤‚·‚±‚µ‚¾‚¯@[Precious Time], re-run on my comp and i still love it!
Okay finished Ii Hito This was a HUGE suprise! The only thing I knew going in, and the only reason I started it was Miho Kanno. But boy, Kusanagi was great, the supporting cast and story excellent as well. I guess some people might be put off by Kusanagi's somewhat over the top acting, but it really worked for me. Big thumbs up! :thumbsup:
I've just finished got round to finishing Ikebukuro West Gate Park. I nearly didn't get past the first two episodes as I don't think I liked a single character, but it improved greatly after that. Stylish, dark, comedic, violent, bizarre and definitely not your average Japanese drama. The ending was a little weak and the acting variable, but it was highly enjoyable.
I'll have to try both Kisarazu Cat's Eye and Tiger & Dragon as they share the same writer and I've heard that they're similar in style.

Yeah, I remember when I first saw that I thought "What the hell???" :crazy: Thanks for the link. :applaud: [/list:u]
i have never written here even though i watch my japanese dramas every night for good 2-3 hours. YES, i am that obsessed.
started watching Sexy voice and Robo because i finished Zeni Geba two nights ago and now i have developed this kind of strange obsession with Kinichi Matsuyama. :bonk: (well, it all started since i watch Death Note the movie )

2-3 hours a night. Is that a problem? And yes, I loved Sexy Voice and Robo Matsuyama is the best otaku ever. :applaud: [/list:u]OT: Just started Shika Otoko, , ,http://jdorama.com/drama.1249.htm Dunno what to think yet, finished epi 1 and already we got a talking deer. :crazy: [/list:u]
Shiroi Haru- Seems like it's aiming more towards a younger audience or their parents/families. I didn't think the first ep was boring, but it seems like the show could get boring easily. I hope it doesn't.
Atashinchi no Danshi- Just what you'd expect. Horikita Maki cannot act. Most of the "ikemen" are pretty ugly. But it was kinda funny.
Sometimes it's good to listen to what other people think.
I started watching Love Shuffle
http://jdorama.com/drama.1374.htm
because Yoshitaka Yuriko & Karina are both in it. If we're lucky, I think both of these young ladies are going to be around in movies and TV for a very long time, and I tend to grab anything that has either of their names on it.
But the show "Love Shuffle" bored me at the beginning. In fact, I was seriously considering giving it a pass, but I kept reading such glowing reviews that I figured I'd stick it out.
I'm happy I did, and thanks to those who championed this show. I finally started getting involved... interested... in the story around the 4th or 5th episode. And having just finished episode 7 I'm completely hooked. I can't wait to see how this all sorts out.
Who knows... at the end I might decide that they blew it. It's happened before. And I'm a pretty petty and judgmental person.
But for now, I'm really happy I have 3 more episodes left.

The first episode bored me, but it started to grow on me and now after the sixth episode I think it's one of the best doramas I've seen. Both the actresses you mentioned are outstanding. Yoshitaka Yuriko manages to out-act pretty much anybody else she shares a scene with, mainly with out saying a word. I haven't seen Karina before, but I definitely going to catch up on some of her past work.
In general the acting is of high class, as is the writing. Nojima Shinji must be the best writer currently working in Japanese drama. I'm slowly working my way through all of his work and after the slight disappointment of Bara no nai Hanaya, I think he is right back on the top of his game with Love Shuffle.
