Since there appears to be a spanner in the works and we're not able to add new dramas to our collections, no point in watching new dramas, watching one from the past, "Tentai Kanzoku".
At least the third time I've watched it, but it's been at least 10 years since the last time, getting a nice nostalgia buzz. 懐かしい!
The thing is, this drama is 15 years old and as far as I can tell, all the actors look just about the same now as they did then. Must be all that tofu.
Takenouchi plays a kind of nerdy professor lacking social skills, but somehow managed to get married to Mimura and have two kids. I'll give them credit for trying something different, but a bunch of people sitting around a table reading out loud just didn't work for me.

Any Eng subs floating around?
I was interested in the drama but it sounds...odd, yeah. Did you stick with it through the whole show? Wondering if it gets better from the pilot.

I always watch them right to the very end no matter how bad they are. I guess I'm just hard headed. :banghead:
started Minshuu no Teki it might about the politics but it has good cast i like such as Ryoko Shinohara, Yuriko Ishda, Kei Tanaka and Issei Takahashi (that guy from Quartet)
Fuji TV is now broadcasting an adaptation of the Korean crime drama "Signal". It got me to rewatch the Korean version again which I still find exciting to watch. I am not sure if the Japanese cast can portray the emotional burden of the main characters.....they aren't the A-list actors after all.
Pretty good, although it took half the drama to really get into it. Great cast, Eita, Satomi Kobayashi, Sadao Abe, Yuko Tanaka. Maybe I take these things too seriously. The day after I finished it, I went to an ATM and checked the first couple bills to make sure the serial numbers weren't all the same. :bonk:
I thought it was even funnier than the first one. Episode 2 was one of the funniest episodes I've seen in any drama. Plus you had various guest stars showing up in every episode. But then, all this was tempered by the fact that it was Ren Osugi's last drama. :puppydog:
Just finished Rikuou. Good acting by the entire cast throughout, really bringing all the distinct characters to life. The story moved at a fast pace so it was never boring but I did not find it totally compelling. I was actually drawn more to the racing than all the twists and turns involved in shoe making. The atmosphere feels a bit manufactured at the start but I got used to it. Did not really identified with the traditional values so that probably accounted for my less than full endorsement. Still a very good drama.
....Confidence Man.....Segadon...99.9(2)....Black Pean....Angels in White...Seigi No Se....Signal...Love Rerun..... and many others stilll waiting for English subtitled versions to be put online. My wife and I watch via four main websites (Fastdrama,GoGodramaonline,Gooddrama,Dramago)that often have the same downloads.....but we're at the mercy of people who do this on their own. Are there any other websites that have the whole series downloaded, subtitled and available to watch for free other than what I've mentioned. Or are there other options?? Thanks much.
