Nice save attempt. :beaten:

Hey, I had to try! :mrgreen: And bump!!

Also watched about 5 minutes of ROOKIES episode 9 but got distracted by the damn internet so I'll continue this later today.

sadacori wrote:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You just killed me with this paragraph!! Sad They look like twins with the greasy hair and creepy mustache. I don't care; I'm still calling ROOKIES guy "Linda" because both of them creep me out.

If it makes you feel any better, I can call him Linda from now on, too. :bonk: FYI, Tamayama Tetsuji might creep you out now but the guy used to be a looker. He still is, I guess, except he's trying to transition from pretty boy to "actor" and the hair might be a part of it. I suggest you check out Brother Beat when you have the time. The guy with the mohawk in ROOKIES is also in it.

Haha, let's all call greasy haired, mustache guys "Linda" from now on! :mrgreen:

It's too bad Tamayama now looks gross. I should google him to see the hotness because I want to know his appeal. And I saw Brother Beat (up till the last episode, which I haven't started watching over a year ago!), so I do recognize the mohawk guy.

Hope to watch the rest of episode 9 of ROOKIES tonight if I don't get distracted...

Deal. From now on, greasy hair + moustache = Linda. :hehe:

Oh btw, Tamayama played the eldest brother in Brother Beat. I'm now currently watching Prisoner since you brought him up. It's probably one of the silliest and most melodramatic mini-series I've seen, but I'm 2 eps away from finishing it. :doh:

Yup! We mustn't forget the dark tan too! :mrgreen:

Wait, wait, wait a minute!! HE was the oldest brother?? Omg, he was so damn hot in that drama!! What the hell happened?? It's so tragic what happened to him. :(

On topic: episode 9 of ROOKIES. Why are so many people acting like jerks to them? Even underclassmen? This is getting ridiculous.

RYUSEI NO KIZUNA episode 6,
LOL to Mika Nakashima.... she always popped in everywhere :rofl: :rofl:

Oh, speaking of KSY, she played one meaty biy@@@@tch in ALL ABOUT EVE, where she stole the thunder from the lead, Chae Rim. Check it out if you want to see her breakout Femme Fatale role. :applaud:

Oh KSY. I adore her in All About Eve. She stole the thunder from EVERYONE! :hehe:

*lol that just made me go off-topic*

Episode 5 of Koshonin, has been getting better as it goes along. :applaud: Shame it's only 8 episodes, :puppydog: is it me or has anyone noticed the last few years how many dramas are now only 8-10 episodes, :twisted: years ago seemed most were 10-12. On a bright note, first drama I've seen Ryoko in and I'm quite impressed, :victory: have Seikei Bijin and Pretty Girls that she's in all lined up to go.

Good job. :applaud:

Have gotten hooked on Fumo CHitai.
We are on ep. 4 already.
Also really enjoying Arifureta Kiseki. Midway thru. :victory:

Seriously, me too. I haven't whipped through a drama with this much enthusiasm in quite a long while. I knocked out 11 episodes already.

Those two along with Love Shuffle are probably my favorites of '09. They went a long way in helping me forget such "gems" as Tokyo Dogs and Untouchable. :bleh:

Finished Koshonin, at only 8 episodes was a quick watch. :hehe: Started off slowly, but really picked up steam the second half of the series, especially the last 2 episodes, if they kept that pace up for seaon two then it's a real winner. :victory: First drama I've seen Ryoko in, she's reeling me in to watch her in Seikei Bijin next. :doh: :rofl:

I think it might be her first starring role... 2002... And one of her best roles, IMO.

And it's also an early role for Konishi Manami as well. :)

I really wish I had a DVD-quality version of this drama. :sweat:

Like a DVD quality copy of Tokyo Elevator Girl....

...I haven't even seen my crappy quality version of it. Sorry but I still love Rie Miyazawa. :inlove:

The Rie Holy Grail. :mrgreen:

EDIT: The DVD Box Set of Seikei Bijin at YesAsia is a whopping $265USD.

Makes the price of the Season One Nodame Cantabile Box Set pale in comparison. :sweat:

Are you serious?!?!? That is absolutely CRAZY. I wonder if the vendor realizes that is totally counterproductive in terms of sales.

I kid you not. :sweat:

Even HMV and Amazon Japan have the price listed at around 20000 yen. :bleh:

Dayem. That's absolutely nuts. If you consider that you could travel to Japan for a few hundred dollars more it really puts things in perspective. Something is definitely wrong with that pricing structure in terms of encouraging DVD sales. :sweat:

Episode 7, Mother

Another interesting episode....My favorite drama of the Spring :D
