You should watch JIN first, otherwise a lot of it won't make sense.

I already watched JIN :p Guess I forgot to update it in my "watched dramas", I was really looking forward to JIN 2 after watching JIN, but once JIN 2 finally came out, I didn't watch it for some reason lol

Have you seen Muri na Renai?

Unconventional romantic drama, but a wonderful performance by Natsukawa Yui. :applaud:

Aah yeah Muri na Renai, I think you have suggested this for me before. I'm gonna check out this for sure, I love Natsukawa Yui's acting and it can't be bad if it's recommended so many times by you ^^

I think it's one of her standout roles. :victory: :applaud:

Akihamende, episode 9, been taking my time on it, hate to see the better ones end, 2 more to go. :puppydog: Also episode 4 of Muscle Girl, really only so-so at best. :nut:

How are the wrestling scenes in Muscle Girl? Only reason why I want to check it out. Couldn't care less about the story :P


Bloody Monday Ep 3

Just finished Dragon Zakura and I have to disagree with an earlier comment, Abe Hiroshi was not a saving grace in this drama for me. I thought his character was a total douchbag who thought he was a major hot shot. But for me, that wasn't the only problem this drama had. A lot of the minor characters were annoying and the pure absurdity, especially the over the top teachers that Abe hired. I mean seriously, Gandalf the math teacher and a break dancing, night-club owner as an English teacher? The student characters and Hagesawa Kyoko's character were ok, and for me the saving grace was Nagasawa Masami's character. Overall, I thought there were bits and pieces that were pretty good, but it's really dragged down by the bits and pieces I mentioned above.

So far there hasn't been that many wrestling scenes :grumble: though have a feeling that's going to change because the huge Japan Female Wrestling Challenge is coming up with a prize of one million yen. :sweat:

Go, Episode 13, on broadcast TV.

I'm currently through the first 3 episodes of Papa to Musume no Nanokakan, starring Aragaki Yui, which is a pretty delightful comedy. I'm also watching Rookie, a cop drama starring Domoto Koichi, Uchiyama Rina, and Kuroki Hitomi. I've finished 2 episodes of Rookie and so far it's ok. Unfortunately the subs on Rookie are pretty bad.

GM Odore Doctor, Episode 4, on broadcast TV.

Just finished Papa to Musume no Nanokakan. Great comedy. I laughed all the way through. I only wish it was longer than 7 episodes.

watched a few minutes of Princess Go on TV subtitled in english, it would be hard to follow a long series such as that one, but seems like a very good historical drama and Juri Ueno does an excellent job in acting as the lead role.

Korean dramas, still watching weekly Smile Mom which is televised and subtitled, its almost done and a long series but I've been watching it for a few months now.

Yeah, the Taigas are usually a test of one's patience unless there's a good story... Or you have a fave actor/actress to watch. :mrgreen:

Still at Ryōmaden, loving it. Can't say it enough: superb soundtrack.

Guilty, episode 3, not sure why I chose it but so far it's been good, bit confusing at first but has settled in. Subs though, they're accurate but the coloring of them, :grumble: white lettering surrounded by red, my eyes are doing somersaults. :nut:

Go, Episode 20.

I fully agree, and that test/tolerance of patience, especially Taiga dramas is a true test of devotion, still I think the cast and storyline seems deep, too bad i started into late, and it takes dedication to stay consistant, but having a cute/pretty motivation helps greatly too. :bonk:

Bloody Monday Ep 4

Go, Episode 14, on broadcast TV.

GM Odore Doctor, Episode 5, on broadcast TV.

Finished up Guilty, one of the best in the the dark drama genre I've seen in a while. :victory: Had all the makings of a successful drama: murders, suicides, revenge, corruption, zero laughs, good guys who are evil and the bad guys who make Satan look like a saint, :woot: highly recommended.
