Still waiting for the softsubs to be released :grumble:

I wouldn't even allow that drama to be anywhere in my home, much less on disc.... :bleh:

Akimahende!, episode 6. Fun, light, energetic drama that doesn't require you to do much in the way of thinking, so far at least. Which was just what I was in the mood for, actually. :bonk: The Uchida Yuki/Nishimura Masahiko duo is kind of stealing the show. I look forward to every scene they're in together.

It's on my to watch next list, and Shiroi Haru of course :victory:
But I'm kind of slow right now - I manage max 3 episodes of a show per week. The weather has been good :victory:

Did you forget Ruri No Shima or decide not to watch it. :doh:

ARGH! I forgot. :doh: I'll watch that one next.

I loved this show. It was so much fun!

On Topic: Around 40 epi 4. I'm really liking it, but I'm getting tired of this "older single lady" theme.

Shiroi Haru

Spoiler — click to reveal

If Boris Karlofffs hMummyh had had a child with hThe Addams Familyfsh Lurch, that kid would have grown up to be Haru.

Letfs seec how best to describe this one? Cloying? Saccharine? Predictable? (Hopefully)Forgettable?

Yeahc thosefll get it done.

I watched the whole thing because it stared Abe Hiroshi & Yoshitaka Yurikoc and I think they are both very special actors. But like they say; if it ainft on the page, itfs ainft on the stage.

Quick note:
Ifve been watching some of the Korean version of gThe Man who couldnft Marryh and itfs pretty good. These folks wonft make me forget Hiroshi and Yuic but itfs a good cast, and theyfre doing a good jobc and adding a bit to the story since Korean shows go on longer.

I also watched Atashinchi no Danshi

Normally I enjoy bitsfofsilliness mixed with some fantasyc but I found this one to be rather lifeless.

Ruri No Shima is another of those shows that mere mention of it causes me to rewatch portions that are so good they merit more than one viewing. :applaud:

I could watch that whole series again easily. Wonderful.

Watch it, Wyn-chan! :beatyou:

On episode 6 of Suika. Also wonderful! :applaud:

I feel the same way about Nodame: the mere mention of it makes me smile and play an episode for a chuckle.

Samu! Sumire!!! I love them the most. What a fun drama that was (except for the Fujiwara Norika parts).

Great show! I just love Tomosaka Rie in this drama.

On topic: Uh, tried watching the first episode of Ryuusei no Kizuna a month back, but am too distracted to continue it. :sweat:

Ive been impressed by the entire cast. Wonderful directing too. :victory:

Would you believe... Asunaro Hakusho (Fuji TV, 1993). Heh heh heh. :mrgreen:

I've slogged through 8 episodes so far, and needless to say, I'm doing this all for KimuTaku, lol. He's the best thing about this drippy little sleazefest of a soap opera. :bleh:

My thoughts:

ROOKIES, Mr.Brain, and Konkatsu

I haven't minded her here. She and her character have actually been working for me in the context of this drama.

And speaking of, next up episode 7. :victory:

Yeah, but not at the all the times I need to be entertained. :sweat:

I thought the entire cast was great, but Tomosaka Rie stood out to me in this role. I guess I like quirky characters. :P

I just didn't like the modeling subplot. It didn't do anything for me and annoyed me at times. I can't remember specifically what I didn't like about it though because it's been over 2 years since I rewatched it.

Wanna retype that and make it an actual sentence? :beaten:

Not really. I'm sure you got what I was trying to say and I'm too lazy to edit it. :P

Uh, on topic... gonna watch some Aibou episodes. Or edit them, anyway.

Kaze no Garden ep 8, I think that's the kind of funeral I would want. :hehe:
