What dramas are you currently watching?

Anime Dad wrote:LOL, I can't blame you for that. Reading subs before watching a series would suck badly. I've already had part of the plot of Unfair spoiled because I was trying to edit subs :( just because I was trying to remove gratuitous F-words.

When are F-bombs not gratuitous? :hehe:






Oh wait, when referring to management.... :beaten:

I've never liked the term; "The F... Bomb". Tends to put a negative spin on the word, which when I was growing up was simply referred to as; "The Universal Adjective".

Anyway... on topic. I'm a couple of episodes into "14 sai no Haha", and as I expected... it's rough going.

So far... well done. Wonderully acted by an amazing cast.

And it's making me furious.

It's the story of a 14 year old girl from a middle class family, who gets pregnant.

And if the subject matter wasn't enough to make it difficult to watch, they cast a wonderful 12 year old actress to play the 14 year old girl. That way she seems even younger, smaller, more vulnerable.

Cast aside, I seriously doubt Im gonna be able to finish this one. Not because it's bad, but because it's so good at what it's trying to do.

Kisarazu cat's eye ep6, this drama is hilarious :rofl:

gonna finish this drama tonight, Meow... :mrgreen:

Just finished the first episode of "Joudan Ja Nai". What can I say, it was fun.

Oda Yuji was good as expected, and Juri-sama cute as ever. The surprise comes in the shape of Ohtake Shinobu - she's pushing 50 but she was able to look ravishing, cute, and foxy all at once.

So far the story line was cute, but nothing spectacular. The first episode benefited from the nice (no pun intended) French scenery. I wonder how it will go come next episode.

I thought she looked older than Oda Yuji's character... And the short 'do of hers didn't help her cause, I think.

That's how I felt... The plot seemed rather familiar.

AND Juri-chan speaking a few lines of French... :victory:

Hey doch, do you ever have any time to watch dramas anymore or are you collecting for collecting's sake? :sweat:

*pictures doch's polycarbonate shrine of DVD spindles*

I try to watch dramas as I get them, but the inbox is filling up faster than my outbox. And even after I watch dramas, I archive them. So the spindle forests continue to grow.

Started Sapuri. It feels like anego with a different cast and office. At least Kame's acting is not as bad as Akanishi Jin. :sweat:

Excellent.

Hope your discs are of archival quality. :beaten:

Faced with the choice between going on with "14 Sai no Haha" last night, or going back and trying to finish "Nodame...", I cracked open the To Watch spindle, and started "Unfair.

GOOD CHOICE!

I love cop dramas, and detective stories, and shows that feature beautiful women, and "Unfair" seems to answer all my needs.

Episode 1 was a blast, and I find myself -- for the first time in a while -- really looking forward to seeing the next episode.

I haven't given up on '14 sai no Haha". It's just that the subject matter isn't making me happy. And all things considered, I'd rather be happy.

Rei is 5 years older than Keita, an Ohtake is abut 10 years older than Oda.

Juri-sama's French sounded quite fluent to me. Her sisters didn't do nearly as well, and her mother's accent was horrible.

I'd have to agree with you there. I watched the first ep and really enjoyed it, but called a halt to it when my Nodame arrived from beem. But i'll be going back to it once Nodame is done!

I thought so as well.


I guess Juri-chan can do no wrong in our minds. :beaten:
