Really? Usually it gets panned. Maybe I need to check it out.

I liked it, it was pretty good. Maybe you've got it confused with the song of the same name by WHAM! (aka George Michael). During Christmas one of the local radio stations had a survey about Christmas songs and "Last Christmas" by WHAM! was on a lot of lists as "Worst Christmas Song Ever".
OT: 2 episodes to go with Kaseifu no Mita. It kind of flattened out in the middle, but now that we're starting to find out why Nanako is the way she is, it's picking up. This drama is a must see for Nanako fans!
Finished Kaseifu no Mita, Nanako's best work in a long time!! :applaud:
Given the great ratings it got and the ending, I wonder if they're going to make a sequel. I hope not. Except for Shomuni, sequels usually don't measure up to the original.
Marathoning through Beautiful Life at the recommendation of a friend. Last thing he recommended to me was Orange Days, so he's definitely sticking to a theme here...
It's the oldest J-drama I've watched other than GTO, and it's interesting to see how similar/different things are from a decade ago. Not overly invested in the story, though.
Finished off Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu. As I said before good performances by Karina and Yoshitaka Yuriko. I found the show boring, I still can't believe it was only 10 eps felt like so much more. :sweat:
Dosokai. The kind of drama you want to watch on a cold rainy winter night huddled on your couch. But where IS THE RAIN?...And still now snow in Tahoe...my skis are getting restless....Anyone knows a good rain dance?

I really liked Tokiwa in it. If you liked Orange Days you should see Say You Love Me, she is wonderful and heartbreakingly lovely in it. The actor who plays the lead role is amazing.

The final part of Gou airs locally this weekend, then they're running a couple other things. Taira, , , probably won't start here until the middle/end of February.

I gave up on watching Gou last year but this time I came prepared with a history book and watched the first two episodes of Taira no Kiyomori but I suspect its more based on the Heike Monogatari rather than history. The story about Kiyomori's mother whilst dramatic, may not be true.I didn't recognize Seiko Matsuda or Fukiishi Kazue.
Still watching Aibou 7. Looks like Sugishita gets his new partner next week. The last three episodes he was with Tomoko Tabata (Watashi no Aozora, Tentai Kanzoku) and I thought they worked pretty well together. I think a male/female team might be pretty interesting. Evidently, the producers are thinking otherwise. :shakehead:
