shin2 wrote:Just finished Mokuyo no Shokutaku (Thursday Dinner Table), a 1992 series reminiscent of Double Kitchen, the Tomoko Yamaguchi series which actually came out a year after this one. Both series focus on a young couple who move into a duplex owned by the husband's in-laws. Other family members join the continuing fray over living space along with the usual comedic romantic liaisons. This dorama incorporates some quirky plot devices: astrology, a hand puppet, a kidnapped bride. Overall, it was a somewhat bland series; in terms of script, cast, and presentation, Double Kitchen is significantly better.
saw this back in 92...but the videotape recordings i made of the show have since degraded.....back when tomoko yamaguchi was the ubiquitous female lead of the day.
Currently around the middle of Engine, also started Ichi Ritoru no Namida. Just now found out that the guy who plays stupid cowboy in Gal Circle is the same one form KKK'03.

Ichi Ritoru no Namida is an excellent drama. :dancing:

I avoided it for long time, but the recent serials that I watched were... how'd I put it... somehow lightweight and hollow, so decided to try something more dramatic.
I just finished watching ' Densha no otoko' right now. I had a hard time with this series, even though it did present some really funny scenes/jokes from time to time. But I guess it was because the main character kind of got under my skin sometimes (I couldn't bear watching him cry), but it's a good thing the ending was nice. And Oguri Shun was pretty cool in there. ^^

I know I've stated this once before on a previous post, but here I go again: that generation of dorama actresses who fluorished through the 90's--Tomoko Yamaguchi, Atsuko Asano, Honami Suzuki, Yasuko Sawaguchi, and Makiko Esumi come to mind--all of whom are now 40 or older, were more talented, gave better performances, and exhibited more charisma than the generations of popular actresses who followed them.

Yup, but you know what, this is part of the cycle. The generation of kids watching today's generation of actresses and actors will one day be in our shoes, and say the exact same thing for those we criticize today. And so the world spins 'round and 'round.

i suppose, but that would really be sad state of affairs, if the future generation gets even worse than the current batch (which is already worse than those in the 90s - which was significantly better both in terms of acting and storylines)... i think i'd stop watching jdoramas if that was the case....something i don't really wanna do :sweat:
