What dramas are you currently watching?

Wynter wrote:Finished Friends! I liked it better than I thought I would, considering that Fukada is in it, but I do think it would have been more a success (in my eyes) had it been longer and more fleshed out. Everything seemed so rushed.

Hmmm... what's next. Ah, Haruka 17. I prolly won't start this until tomorrow, tho. I need a slight break.

What about Love Generation.... Another Halu masterpiece. :bow:

Haruka 17 is Ok... but the kind of slapstick comedy to watch when there is absolutely nothing else.... It's a filler and very unmemorable. :bleh:

I think I'll watch it after Haruka 17. If Haruka 17 is as crappy as you're suggesting it is, I'll need a fab drama to pick me up. Love Generation will prolly do the trick. :thumbsup:

Finshed GTO and HotMan gotta say both 10/10 :woot: My Favorite dramas

Haruka 17 is sorta fluff... Not awful, but not memorable either...

K.T. liked it a lot, though.

Man. I still can't quite get Yasashii Jikan out of my head, so I'm sticking with movies for a while.

what's up with Yasashii Jikan? I'm curently rewatching it while waiting for Haikei Chichiuesama. Kuramoto Souh (the writer of both dramas) way of presenting the characters in his story make each and everyone of them so endearing.

I dunno if Haikei's director is the same as Yasashii Jikan but the shots in both drama are wonderfull. The actors and actresses are perfectly casted. Can't wait to see Meisa performance in the next episode.

others might find both dramas to be a snoozfest but i find the pace quite pleasurable. maybe the 1st ep is kinda slow but it will get better.

finished IWGP, pretty good dorama... reaffirms my belief that older doramas are much better story wise...

and why isn't Sato Ryuta listed in the actors section? :headscratch: he is a rather important character after all.

She's got an odd tooth, too. :beaten:

Yea, I recognized most of the main cast members and it was enjoyable enough for me. Then again most dramas are entertaining to me :mrgreen:

@Monta: I'm really glad you enjoyed Summer Snow, although I knew from the start that you would! This is one of my all time favs. There was something so innocent and simple about it. I teared up at the ending of this drama, but you're right. The end song, although fun to listen to, totally ruined the emotional endings of each episode.

:thumbsup: and i have to say... Dohmoto Tsuyoshi's acting for the role :bow:

him die. The two living happily ever after would have been so much more heartwarming and in keeping with the spirit of the drama. There could just as easily have been another donor. This is what irritates me so much about the Japanese desire to have sad heartwrenching endings in so many of their dramas and especially their movies. It's like a national masochistic implant.

:grumble: :bleh:

well... yeah i guess this is true. It's like it's the only way the japanese can think of for making a cry me a river dorama. but isn't it still sweet?

I don't know if Goya-kun will be pleased. :hehe:

I d/l Hero from Loosaheads emporium. Started to watch the first episdoe and was hopelessly sidetracked by the stupid (SARS?) scrolling continuously down the left side. Checked most episodes and the dumb meaningless scrolling never ceases.... so I will reluctantly have to bypass this drama as I would get seasick with that endless scroll. :shamefulcry:
