Cinderella has definitely lost her first place in the saddest family member department ;) Yuko Tanaka is my hero! Loved her in other roles (The Milk woman!), but as young Oshin she shone like no asadora heroine I know! Except maybe Nounen Rena, but she'll have to proof herself in the future still.
I have the whole thing subbed.
WAtching Jumbo! Town Doctor.
Its not Doctor X but its fun, the main actor is good as a sarcastic but talented Doctor.
I've been watching Shitsuren Chocolatier, Boku no Ita Jikan and Ashita Mama ga Inai (Miura Shohei :inlove:).
I'm looking forward to watching this Midnight Rain everybody's been talking about, though.

Midnight Rain is one of my all time favorite Mediacal dramas.
Ep 10 of Jumbo! Town doctor. Really enjoying it. :victory:
About half way thru the last episode I thought they were going to screw it up and turn it into a 'happily ever after' ending which given the subject is pretty much impossible. But the last ten minutes they didn't pull any punches and they showed how things really are. Miura was great and Tabe Mikako did the best job I've seen from her so far. Not a 'warm fuzzy' drama at all, but still very well done. :applaud:

That's it!!! When I first started watching it I thought "Haven't these two been together in something before?" But when I couldn't remember right away I forget about it. Thanks for the reminder!! :say_cool:
Episode 7 of 'Kinkyu Torishirabeshitsu'. The subplot about Yuki's deceased husband is heating up. Kohinata seems to be on her side but Yuki would be wise to remember what Joe Mantegna said in 'House of Games': "Don't never trust nobody."
With much appreciation from me, Eve. I didn't know you are main subber for Oshin. I wouldn't have been able to watch it repeatedly otherwise. :bow:
Lol. I wish i was that talented. I didn't mean I subbed the series. I have it subbed on DVD. :mrgreen:
If you couldn't find them I could send them to you.
Meanwhile it's been a tough week around here so I've gone for extremely light and fluffy yet catchy. Watching Mischeivious Love: Lone in Tokyo
High school romance. Comedy. Not so cool but super cute girl wins the top of elite boys. Falls down often from that clumsy Asan girl problem. Wins the tennis match. Any paradoxes here. Anyway it works and it's cheering me up. Almost done. :beaten:
Finished 'Ashita Mama ga Inai'. Once they toned things down after that first episode it turned out to be pretty good. The kids were all good and Ashida was great. It only went nine episodes and the ending to me felt a little rushed, could have used one more episode to explain things a little better.
Spoiler — click to reveal It turns out Posto is Mikami's daughter which we find out literally in the last two minutes. So who was her Mom? What happened to her? But we don't find out anything.
I wonder if all the fuss and protests caused by the first episode didn't make them just decide to wrap it up early.
Episode 8 of 'Kinkyu Torishirabeshitsu'. Turns out this is going to be only 9 episodes just 'Ashita Mama ga inai'. I wonder if this is a new trend. :headscratch:
Wow I haven't been here for a long time! How's everybody doing?
Alice no Toge and Mozu seem to interest me the most this season from their trailers. I'm starting Mozu's episode 1 and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Ohisashiburi...! :victory:
Arisu no Toge, Episode 1 is now available at D-Addicts. :woot:
Gokuaku Ganbo episode 1. Good acting all round, especially by Ono Machiko and Miura Tomokazu, but the execution and flow feels awkward at times. It's clear the production team is not used to making this type of drama. The story telling is clear and easy to follow though. I like the cast and will continue watching.
Episode 1 of 'Alice no Toge'. Not good. At the end of the episode I was thinking, "Who wrote this thing??" Checked and it's Maki Takahashi. He also wrote 'Fuyu no Sakura' which was completely ruined by Masanobu Takashima's character, one of the most wacko over the top doctors ever.
Now in 'Alice no Toge', Takahashi has created a whole hospital full of them. Honestly, what doctor would say in the operating room in front of other doctors, "If you haven't killed three patients you're not a doctor yet." In the real world, any surgeon not operating in a combat zone that lost three patients would be in front of a medical board. By the end of the episode it looks like all the doctors in this hospital are that way, except of course, our heroine, and she might be the most psychotic of them all. It's not a good sign when Odagiri Joe, who has made a career out of playing strange characters is the most normal person.
I'm betting even money that at some point it will turn out Joe and Juri are related. Either cousins or long lost brother/sister. The only question is will we find out before or after they've had sex. :bleh:
Edit: I forgot to add this director REALLY likes slow motion shots. The first episode runs almost an hour but without the slo-mo could have finished a lot sooner. I haven't seen this much slow motion since the Super Bowl.
Replying needs an account. Registration opens soon.
