Speaking of dramas, what's up with that Miyazawa-Ueno taiga? I'm out of the loop....

They've updated the site recently, but I can't read a thing, obviously: http://www.nhk.or.jp/otsu/go/index.html :sweat:

Shiroi Haru was on my list too...gonna watch it soon..currently on innocent love. :victory:

Guilty episode 1. Watchable, but it didn't pull me in, didn't find it very interesting. Seems like it will be fairly predictable for awhile.

Himitsu episode 1. The two leads (esp. Shida Mirai) did a great job, they really look and feel like a married couple, except for the fact that Shida Mirai still looks like a kid. Not much happened apart from setting up the story, but it didn't feel long. Not really looking forward to the continuation as shown in the preview for the next episode though.

finish watched shiroi haru (really great drama) & love shuffle (not bad..luv karina,shouta, tamaki & yuriko yoshitaka acting here :) )...

& now watching buzzer beat epsd 6....this one is really good drama too...Pi chan is really kakkoi here..& keiko chan is great too..nice story :muack: :muack:

looks like a reunion between Sasaki Kuranosuke & Motokariya Yuika from Boku no Aruku Michi where he played an older brother. I'm not familiar with the movie and/or novel, but it looks interesting how the lead character Mirai manage swapping emotions/personality as Naoko and the daughter who passed away.

Himitsu no Hanazono epi. 2 :victory:
:smitten: love Kataoka Wataru ,,, I mean Sakai Masato here... :smitten:

Spoiler — click to reveal

wonder why did they have to hide about Hanazono Yuriko's truly identity :crazy:

and oh, the soundtrack by Amuro Namie - Baby Don't Cry :mrgreen: I like it too :dancing:

:victory:

Finished up Otousan fairly quickly, enjoyed it quite a bit. :applaud: Not a big fan of these kind of dramas, so if I liked it sure ones that like that genre will really like it! :woot: Whole cast was really superb, mainly watched it for Naoko but Fukakyon was so good in it, can see why she won so many awards for it. :bow: Up next is Akihabara @ Deep, got mainly good reviews, looking forward to it. :fingerscrossed:

Keizoku Spec episode 2 - great episode but I have to admit my Japanese is a little too weak to follow it all. I read on d-addicts that this drama hasn't found a subbing team but I still hope that somebody picks it up. :fingerscrossed:

Just rewarched some densha Otoko eps. Still funny even after a few years. Can't believe it's a 4 year old series - time sure flies by.

^^ Keeping along the Otaku theme, up to episode 3 of Akihabara@DEEP, little crazy but really enjoying it. :mrgreen: Character of Akira is really so good but she's not listed under the cast list. :shamefulcry:

Spec: Another solid episode.

Reinourokusha Odagiri Joe: ...I feel like I am enjoying this way more than I should be. XD I think the 2nd episode was even more fun than the first.

Perfect Report: I love Matsuyuki Yasuko so I thought I'd give it a try. Her character seems cool enough (good to see her play a strong career woman) but I was expecting something more dramatic and deeper. I got a little bored.

Nagareboshi: I loved the first episode! I heard the ratings were relatively low for Getsu9 (13.6%), which is too bad. The production quality and acting is good as expected. Takenouchi Yutaka is perfect for this kind of role. Far from the playboy type like Nodate in BOSS, but still comical and sweet. Ueto Aya is gorgeous and I like this different darker side of her. Kitano Kii is cute and energetic (maybe a little TOO energetic for someone who's supposed to be sick?) and Matsuda Shota is charismatic as usual, even though I feel he's a little young to be playing a doctor. Besides Spec, this one is my favorite so far this season!

Juui Dolittle episode 1. I had low expectation but very impressed with this episode. Oguri Shun and Inoue Mao are just terrific even though their roles are not anything out of the ordinary. The writers have obviously done a lot of research with medical knowledge and serious discussion about the ethical issues involved. And for me, it was successful in drawing the audience into the story and creating drama, although some may feel it was cliche. But apart from that, this felt it had the right balance and there was nothing to criticize. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Cheers! :mrgreen:

I cross my fingers that the subber is motivated enough to continue - I need a little help for episode 2.

OT finishing Hagetaka - good stuff - it doesn't fully understand financial markets but it's as close and as entertaining as it can get.

Finished Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku. Had trouble believing the romance because I felt little chemistry between the leads, especially in the early episodes.
