that's for sure, come to think of it, there's been a very large number of newcomers lately, feels almost like a changing of the guard

Yup.

I think I remember seeing that one of her "recent" drama was good.

Remote. (Not as bad as you'd think. Probably helped by the fact that I only get to watch one episode per month.) ...

Coming from Geezer, it must be true. The guy doesn't watch crap and I've never been disapointed by his recommendations.

that's true..but note his comment on only watching one ep per month...
that's like bad food you can stomach it every so often but not continuously...


i like the remote too...when kyoko is on screen i used it to turn the dayem dvd player off...beeyotch!!! :hehe: :beaten:

she's maturing into a lovely young woman and she's amazing and all..but this drama is a vehicle to increase her fame or perhaps to capitalize on it..but from an artistic point of view ...the story is rather average and not very compelling...alot of the convetions seen in other doramas are rehashed in this one.

So it's one of those dramas you forget the second you're done. :pout:

Let's just hope she gets better role in the future. I loved her in H2 and I'd hate to see her talent wasted on boring stories.

i haven't seen H2 but i heard a lot of good things about it.

the only new dorama that i started recently that really had me wanting to watch more...was IWGP but it's only been subbed up to 3...but it's friekin' funny!

Well, there's nothing wrong with torturing yourself an hour a month. :mrgreen: Think about the people who worked on this 10 to 12 hours a day for months watching the same scene over and over again. :beaten: :hehe:

I wanted to start watching it, but everybody says it's awesome. I woundn't be able to wait for the episodes to be released. :sweat:

I'll probably start watching maid in akihabara tomorrow. Can't wait. :D

that's cruel and unusual punishment as defined by the Geneva Convention on dorama rights....it says

kyoko fukaka no acting ga hidoi sugiru

:rofl: :dielaughing:
Should this motion be examined by the UN security council? :bonk:


Poor Kyoko-chan. She's probably going to be out of work in the near future. Did you heard about the drama Shimokita Glory Days. Apperently, the cast is composed of half gravure idols and the other half AV idols. :nut:

I don't know if they're good, but if they are something's wrong when AV idols can do a better job than an actress with 10+ years experience. =T

Just finished Friends. to her credit, Kyoko improved over the last two eps noticeably and the drama ended better than it started off :woot:. and i can put my finger on one of the things she needs to improve on, she doesn't seem to have good control of her facial expression - it's as though she always has this dazed, puzzled look on her even when the situation doesn't call for it.

2 things i'd like to point out at this point too about doramas in general:

1) they seem to love using IBM laptops

2) most ppl in jdorama seem to be employed in the advertising industry ... if jdorama's represented the actual workforce, i think we'd have an overabundance of advertising workers out there :hehe: :hehe:

since when can ho's and models act? must be the japanese version of baywatch..hehe.

haven't heard of it...fine girls are cool and all but i really don't watch doramas for that reason...it's a nice plus ...but there are more compelling reasons for me to watch that don't have to do with beauty.

the UN's edict...kyoko is cookoo for coco puffs

I don't know when they started it, but you need more than Pretty girls to have a good drama. :hehe: Might be for the pantsu or something... :headscratch:

Indeed. Puzzled look and pout.


I don't remember Friends at all. I watched it over 2 years ago, but acording to my drama list I liked it. :sweat: :beaten:

I always mixed up Fighting Girl and Friends.

well, Friends wasn't a bad series. it was rather enjoyable for the most part and i definitely liked the idea of a Korean-Japanese collaboration very much. however, i did feel the acting came up a bit short even with the rest of the cast including Yada Akiko. :sweat:

Wow. I didn't even remember seeing Yada Akiko in it. :ashamed:

So the bottom line is, "thank you it was only 4 episodes long". :hehe:

actually, i think 5 might have made it better but that's just me

*spoiler*
i would've liked more tension between the father and ji hoon with regard to his going out with her - and have a nice fight regarding a possible marriage :hehe:

but overall, not bad, a 7.5/10 i'd say :hehe:

tabana wrote:Wow. I didn't even remember seeing Yada Akiko in it. :ashamed:

She played only a small part. Nothing outstanding. Think she starring in some newsroom drama this season. Well if someone happened to watch it and really like the story - not just Yada Akiko (although that's understandable) - please give us a shout.

Watching My Little Chef episode 5 :D .
