Nope! I try not to watch more than 3 episodes in one sitting, tho I have done 4 before. I usually don't have 5 hours in a row at the computer.

DAMN!!! You only spent at most 2 days watching this drama, right? And I thought I spent too much time watching dramas. :P

On topic...I'm going to watch Chakushin Ari episode 4 as soon as I get home. Unless I find something online to occupy my time.

I usually watch 4 to 5 hours of jdorama per night. unless I'm distracted by American TV...of course, now it's off season, so the only American stuff I watch now is Traveller and Kyle XY...wasn't there supposed a second season of Meerkat Manor...

Well. I'm a single old fart with no kids or family...so I gotta lot of free time & this is how I choose to use it...

Why not! I probably would, if I were you.

OT: Going to start Kuitan 1 next.

More like three days :P After taking a long time to finish Majo, I was really hungry for a GOOD drama. Akimahende happened to be the remedy.

You and I both. Tomorrow is my last day of work before the summer, and so I have no marking at all to do. With all this free time, and the fact that I rarely watch American TV, I choose to spend it on Japanese dramas. :D

The last one with Karina is the best one. :victory:

On Topic: Gonna watch Akimahende epi 10. :thumbsup:

About to start Shomuni 3 I honestly don't see how they can top Shomuni 2, but if they want to overwhelm me, I am willing to be overwhelmed!!! :woot:

All done!

My Review: 10/10

I had high expectations for Akimahende, and it definitely delivered! I love family dramas, and this one managed to maintain that extra flare. To begin with, the intro to the show is one of the best Ifve ever seen. The comedy is perfectly timed and ACTUALLY funny. Each character holds its own, which makes it really hard to have a favourite.

The casting was grand. Ifve seen Fujiwara Norika in Love Generation, and thought she was just okay, and quite dispensable. In Akimahende, however, she was simply marvelous. She was perfect as a struggling model with a determined head on her shoulders. She was one of the characters that made me laugh out loud in my seat. Then there was Uchida Yuki, who was paired with Nishimura Masahiko. Although physically the pairing looked quite awkward, both parties pulled it off so well! Sumire really looked like she cherished Sam, and Samc letfs just say Ifll never EVER be able to forget that trench coat! I loved it when he popped onto the scene. His role was completely different than the one Ifve seen him play in NsfAoi, and Ifve convinced hefs an excellent actor. Ninomiya Kazunari was okay but Suzuki Anne was definitely the child-star in this drama. And of course, I canft ignore the glue that held the drama together: Nakamura Tamao! Although I found her a little annoying at the beginning, she definitely grows on you.

Not a lot of thought is required to watch this drama, but it was grand regardless. Excellent comedy with a heart-warming theme. Although it got repetitive at times, it wasnft enough to bore me, nor irritate me. Which is always a good thing. ;)
