What dramas are you currently watching?

Watched the first episode of Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko no Uso. I went in preparing for the worst but it was actually pretty watchable. I think the cast really makes or breaks a crazy drama like this one, so they were smart to cast Ishihara Satomi and Tanihara Shosuke, both who know what they're doing.

Though the story is different, the whole feel of it kind of reminds me of Mop Girl...which happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine. It's kind of like they're bad, but in a good, entertaining way lol. I would watch this just for more awesome Satomi and Tanihara banter.

Also, I can't get over how flawless and gorgeous Satomi is:

It's not an easy look to pull off!

I finished up Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan

I thought it fell sort of flat.

So... on to Atami no Sousakan

It's an Odagiri Joe vehicle, written and directed by the same guy that did Jikou Keisatsu. One episode in and a bunch of the old crew have already made appearances... so it figures to be fun.

Rewatching My Boss My Hero, episode 4, not a huge fan of the High School genre but this one is done so differently it makes it quite enjoyable. :victory:

Uhhh... would hate to burst your bubble re TsukiKoi so, uhhh... I won't. :sweat:

:victory:

Re MBMH: I think I bailed around Ep. 5 or 6. Nagase Tomoya was freakin' hilarious but I just couldn't stand Butterball. Hatessss!!!!! :usuck: (Memo to self: at least try and finish the danged series. :grumble:)

Finished Mop Girl(Love it so much)...Currently into Innocent Love 2008..pretty good..so cute Maki! :mrgreen:

Just watched the first episode of Reinoryokusha Odagiri Kyoko no Uso. It was fun. Satomi was energetic and cute in character, I enjoyed her performance. The handling of the story in the second half could be better though, there were a couple of lines I found confusing.

Finished up My Boss My Hero again, like most dramas so much better the second time around, :applaud: final 20 minutes prevented it from getting a 10. :sweat: Finally started Otousan after about 4 months of saying it's next, :beatyou: up to episode 3, so far okay, now I can understand why Fukada is a big fave of everyone around here. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't say that for the Gokusen series or Last Friends... I barely made it through the first pass. :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

When you have a brain that can only take in 50% of anything at a time, :nut: watching a second time around is needed. :sweat:

Haha. As in not grounded in this reality? Oh well.

See, that's why I brought Fukada's name up, :beatyou: once someone starts you just can't stop talking about her. :naughty:

Yeah but that's not the kind of buzz I would want if I were her.

We haven't had many Fukada groupies in recent memory.

Some are celebrities and some are actors/actresses.

Lately, it's been easier to differentiate the two.

Like the difference between an hand crafted tonkotsu and Maruchan. :hehe:
