What dramas are you currently watching?

Edison no haha episode 5. I thought it was going to be a human drama about the handling and development of the prodigy, but it actually turned out to be more about education. The kids are fun to watch, and I really like the relationship and interactions between Kento and his mother. There was a lot to think about for me, almost every episode, but the teacher's part of the story was not that interesting.

Currently re-watching Churasan with my sister. We're already on episode 100 and we only started watching about a week ago. :sweat:

Edison no Haha episode 6. What a crowd-pleasing episode. :mrgreen: :woot:

The things kids think about can be so surprising and funny sometimes, and their optimism and spirit was infectious in this episode. ^__^ I got a big smile on my face all throughout that scene in front of the school close to the end. The joy of drama watching, how I have longed for you. :hehe:

Spoiler — click to reveal

There is really something about people screaming at the top of their lungs about silly things... ^^ It reminded me of that scene at the end of episode 7 of Sexy Voice and Robo.

I started that before but wasnt in a kid show mood. I think I need to see that again.

Watched the first ep of Gift. Intriguing.
I think once I wrap up with Nodame Cantabile, I'll watch the rest.

Or maybe I need to tune into this Churasan obsession..... :twisted:

Well described, it is an obsession. Just allow yourself some time before it really gets unstoppable. The beginning is a bit slow.

Started Aishiteru. I usually steer clear of these heavy dramas, but it's gotten nothing but good reviews, and the ratings were quite surprising, so I decided to give it a go. I'm on episode two now....

Oh ok, I'll keep that in mind!

I am reluctant to watch Ashiteru too, even though it sounds like the drama of the season. The beginning sounds heartbreaking.

After a bit of a break I raced through the last few episodes of Iguana no Musume. A modern fairy tale, and like all good fairy tales it's rich in allegory, in this case exploring the problems of adolescent shyness, low self-esteem, self-acceptance and also the emotional roller-coaster of first love.

The young Kanno Miho is simply brilliant playing the rather pitiful lead. She is able generate real empathy and acts everyone else off the screen. Although it didn't help that most of the supporting characters were somewhat under written. You also got the feeling that most of their issues could be solved by simply talking to each other a little more. But this is Kanno Miho's show, and worth watching for her performance alone.

Started watching "Meitantei No Okite", Hancho Jinnansho Azumihan, & Mr. Brain and Boss

Whilst away from the internet in North Wales for the week I re-watched 'Good Luck' as I hadn't seen it in forever and it is one of my very favourite dramas love it so much ^0^
I also re-watched eps 1 and 2 of Remote the other day haha planning to re-watch the rest soon. But now I am back I plan to catch up and watch eps 9 and 10 of Atashinchi no Danshii

Yeah, I'm trying to keep up with the new dramas while catching up with older ones. Although it doesn't help me that a lot of the dramas this season are detective dramas since I love those. :P

Ganbarimasu! :woot:

I've been watching so much 90's dorama lately that I finally felt I had to go with something that was made during, uh, the last decade for a change next. :sweat:

So my two current ones are Ruri no Shima (on episode 4) and Shikaotoko Aoiniyoshi (episode 3). Both seem interesting so far. :woot: I did think episode 4 of Ruri no Shima was the weakest yet, but even then it was still enjoyable.

Hello All, I've been lurking on the forums, and taking in the advice of everyone, and watching a ton of dramas, I thought I'd finally pop in and add to the comments.

Let's see, in the last few weeks, I've watched
Nodame Cantabile
Densha Otoko
Love Shuffle
Maison Ikkoku
Liar Game
Code Blue
Lunch Queen
Tiger and Dragon
