What dramas are you currently watching?

Sekai no Chuushin, Ai wo Sakebu ep 4 :puppydog:

Yamada Takayuki and Ayase Haruka are doing a great job~

finished Hana Yori Dango2

an unsuccessful sequel i guess. i somehow wasn't impressed by the script. the 1st one is much better. It is risky with these kind of casts, guess it turned out to be a fruityboy exposure dorama with a really cute girl as the lead and all of them have annoying attitude. It felt so draggy and as if they ran out of ideas. overall, i think this sequel is stupid. it is romantic and fun to watch, but it's not intense at all and still stupid.

I somehow don't feel Utada Hikaru's Flavor of Life. They seem to be always playing that song at the wrong time. Ai Otsuka's Planetarium is way better.

The last four episodes was very worth watching, i'd give it an 8.5. the first episode was so stupid, and hell it was two hours, i'd give it a 6/10. and the rest i just 7/10.

so overall, 7.5/10

i hope you like Rondo as much as i do! :D

on topic: just finished Shinsengumi 25. so that's how they got the name. it's starting to get bitter

I loved the 1st episode. Kind of a dark drama like Yasha. I think I'll like it. :D

So this is how you feel about HYD2? I think there is way to many
mis- communications, and I HATE mis-communications. I still thought it was sweet and romantic though - although not enough. I know, most people probably don't care. I'll get a better judgment when I finish the series.

On topic: Finished watching Tokyo Friends. I loved it! But I have to see the movie now.

:victory:

starting Unfair... 10 minutes into the first ep, and i have issues w/ the weapons advisor.

:rofl: :rofl:

though i think it's the first time i've seen a japanese policeperson carry a semi-auto pistol

i just finished tiger & dragon, OMG LOVE IT <3 tigah tigah jirettaiga!!!~

tried watching IWGP but it was so dark and dreary to me. so i started on kisarazu cat's eye and i'm absolutely LOVING it. its really awesome! :woot:

About to start Nobuta wo Produce. Threes days of waiting for the download. So psych. Imagine myself jumping for joy when it's done. I heard it's a great series :P. Can't wait. Also the Special show was really hysterical.

Only you would have that problem: 99% of the population would have no clue :)

true... they could've chosen a more fitting stabbing knife, instead of the slashing knife they had. its a 3.5" fully serrated Spyderco shown used by the killer versus the 6" blade as how the police described it being.

Yeah, even clueless me thought that was an odd knife to be stabbing someone with.

Weapons issues aside, did you enjoy ep. 1 ?

not bad i just finished ep 2, and i HOPE i haven't already guessed who the writer is, ill know for sure soon I think.

i haven't watched a good crime drama in a while.. Kuitan excluded as a crime drama.

Columbo. Simply the best detective show to ever run on American TV.

It started as a series in 1968, ran through the '70s, and kept on going as a series of TV movies through the '80's and '90s and beyond. The last "Columbo" movie was made in 2003. But then, Peter Falk ain't dead yet, so I shouldn't say "last".

How about, they haven't done one since 2003.
