What dramas are you currently watching?

Mama Chari Deka episode 2. Sano Shiro looks just like a Japanese John Lennon with his mop top hair, collarless jacket and glasses :hehe: It's taking me a while to get used to this style of Japanese humour... but I think i'll like it.

I finished Seigi no Mikata over the weekend...I almost didn't want it to end, I really liked the characters. Hope to see a sequel.

Also, I started Trick, watched the first 5 episodes. So far, very interesting.

It's a good show: two odd, quirky leads, and an interesting premise. :victory:

O! I LUFFED Trick! All three of them. :beaten:

On Topic: Sis and I started a Korean drama last night called... 1% something something.

I also saw up to epi 6 of Aoi Tori. I don't know how i feel about it yet.

^ Did you finish Monster Parent?

A few days ago! I mentioned it a few posts back.

Seigi no mikata was my last yearLs favourite summer show :victory:

Currently watching three dramas at the same time and they are all better than I expected them to be.

First: Hataraki Man (@ episode 4) based on a manga by Moyoco Anno. Now I think AnnoLs manga series suck (Happy Mania :bleh: , Hana to mitsubachi :bleh: :bleh:, Sugar Sugar Rune :bleh: :bleh: :bleh: ) but this live action is kind of ok, itLs not exactely original since itLs a"she is unable to get married because she likes her job, and she must be a man cause sheLs good" type of drama. Perhaps thanks to Miho Kanno? A 7/10

Secondly: The Quiz Show 2 (@ episode 8) , havenLt seen the first season but this works fine for me. ItLs much better than letLs say Liar Game. Acting from JohnnyLs is okay but best bit: Maya Miki :smitten: AND sheLs given a little more airtime than just the bartender/mother in the background.

Thirdly Buzzer Beat: I thought the styling in Love Shuffle was horrible but the stylist on this show should be cruzified. How whack can it get? Pink basket outfits, purple 3/4 troursers, YamapiLs and Kanjiya ShihoriLs hair hahahaha
But so far, so good - all the characters are a little flawed, which I like and the feel is realistic (excluding the games and the violin play). The drama depicts relationships quite well, I had similar experiences at different stages of my life and can actually identify myself with the 5 main protagonists.

^ Hey, you're back...! :woot:

bmwracer wrote:^ Hey, you're back...! :woot:

Yes :woot: problems with my connection at home (which got finally fixed) and no time whatsoever to post at work :bleh: *moves to the work thread for further details* :victory:

I finished Kagayake Rintaro last night.

http://jdorama.com/drama.171.htm

Man, I haven't enjoyed a show so thoroughly in quite a while.

It's mostly a light comedy. But the cast, the whole cast, bumped the show up to another level.

It was so good that in the middle of the series the story took a turn from an office/home comedy, to a sad sad story line. But the writer and the cast were able to turn things back around as if that was the easiest thing in the world to do. Amazing.

Thank you Eve!

I didn't post one in a thread. Dunno why. :headscratch: I did post it on the profile page.

Nono, I did enjoy it, but I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if the lead wasn't Ryoko-san. Everything I liked about her revolved around her, and not really the other characters or the plot.

She does have an aura. :mrgreen: :victory:

Delayed reaction: Hey A.D., were you aware that Eita was also in LUNCH NO JOOU??? :wow: I didn't even realize he was Junzaburo's friend Noboru the whole time I was watching, until my friend pointed it out to me a few days ago. That danged character actor sure had me fooled the whole time. :omg: (Rats! Foiled again! :banghead: ) I feel like every J-drama that I watch henceforth will be one continuous "Where's Waldo?" game, heh heh heh. :mrgreen:

You mean... there isn't one YET??? :omg: Dang it, JDorama netizens, what have you been DOING since 2007, huh??!?!?? :cursing:

But what a bunch of unlikeable, self-involved people they are... :bleh:

Blerg! I agree completely. I've all but given up on LOVE REVOLUTION, but I hope that by the last episode, everyone contracts ulcers from all that self-induced misery, and even Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman won't be able to treat the others because she's so caught up in her own self-absorbed sh*t. So they all DIE together under the cherry blossoms or something. Perfect, perfect ending. :mwahaha: Wish I could be around to witness it. *wipes away tear*

Another priceless commentary from EG... Looks like Ender's Girl is ENDEARing herself to the members here... :mrgreen:

A-Ha!!! Famous last words! :nyah: I guess nobody's figgered out my modus operandi yet, which is to rack up enough brownie points with Ye Foin People before retrogressing into the slush-brained fangirl that I really am (eye yam what eye yam)--yes, d 1 hU tyPeZ oN a sPaAsTicK kEybored & hAs iMaGineRry fReNdZ n sTuFf heh heh heh. :crazy:

On-topic now: :sweat:

Episode 5 of PROPOSAL DAISAKUSEN, aka "Back to the Future: Tokyo Drift," aka "The Boy Who Leapt Through Time." ;)

Oh, YamaPeeee, whyyyy ssso sseriousss... :hehe: It just ain't the same without watching you flap your arms and giggle spazzily and dig your chin into Kame's bony shoulder and get high on soy milk! Don't grow up and become a man just yet, YamaPi! Just be that weird, silly, flaky boy forever, the one with the deadest eyes and reediest voice in the Jdoramaverse. :pout: I love you just the way you are, sweetie. :glomp:

Although really, I would've watched this even without YamaPi in it (:naughty:) because I liked the CONCEPT. And really--what better way to win your One True Love back than by the finger-snapping (and heel-clicking) of a benevolent fairy taking an interest in mortal affairs? (Waiiit... that saturnine bowler-hat-wearing dude's a fairy? Looks more like an oversized leprechaun to me. :hehe:)

But oh--a twist! YamaPi has to do it all within the time it takes to frame one day's events in a single snapshot! Does he have what it takes to win his love back? Can he finally pull off... that buzzer-beater and win? :naughty: And can the Leprechaun of Love singlehandedly outwit, outplay and outlast the Cosmic Juggernaut of Fate? Or, in the end, will it all just have been in vain? :fingerscrossed: Everything will be illuminated in due time... "Hallelujaaaaah... CHANCE!!!" :dielaughing:

:rofl: Yeah, I knew it was Eita. You can't disguise those ears, even with the wacky hairstyles he chooses/gets lumbered with. You were probably dazzled by Tsumabuki Satoshi and YamaPlank and didn't notice :hehe: He hasn't turned up in Mama Chari Deka yet, unless he was one of the schoolkids in ep. 2... he would have been mid-teens in 1999... hmmm...
