What dramas are you currently watching?

Vintage Chiba Shinichi. :thumbsup:

Only 36 more episodes to go. Savor the experience: you really don't see dorama like that anymore. Plus Japanese action stars with the skills and charisma of a Sonny Chiba are now dinosaurs; only his protege Hiroyuki Sanada can approach the level of the past greats.

It might have something to do with lowered expectations, but I've been watching "Engine"--- in fact, I'll be watching the final episode tonight --- and I've really enjoyed it.

Yup, it's a bit sappy and schmaltzy, and sentimental... but I like that stuff when it's done well, and for the most part, this show does everything well.

I have to admit, I've really disliked Kimura's last few outings. I thought shows like "Pride" and "Good Luck!" were major wastes of his talent, and my time.

But with "Engine" he seems to have rediscovered his charm, and he's playing to his strength.

Aw, I really enjoyed that drama. But I guess it really depends on if you like dark dramas or not. And like uhno said, it does get even more depressing.

i like dark doramas. but not depressing super-slow paced doramas.

pass...

now what should i watch :headscratch:

Hotaru no Hikari! its so funny and the chemistry between Ayase and Fujiki is great! :mrgreen:

Byakkotai, Yamato Nadeshiko, Koi no Ochitara



i'm a bit bored with fruities, but i don't like shows with barely any fruities, so i'm continuing Koi no Ochitara. pretty weird, but i don't mind

That's for sure... No one seems to have stepped up to challenge Chiba or JAC...

only his protege Hiroyuki Sanada can approach the level of the past greats.

Agreed. :victory:

Boku Dake No Madonna epi 7.. threading water waiting for the story to begin. Still kind of fun.

Going to watch Nana2 despite all the bad press.... found a download site on bittersweet:

Koi no Ochitara episode 5

it's not fast-paced and the story wasn't that special, yet each episode isn't really connected. but somehow it's addicting.


maybe becoz Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, Yamamoto Koji, Sato Eriko, Matsushita Nao, and Kimura Yoshino were extremely charming playing thier characters

This is Kimura's latest drama and it truly deserves your attention...I'm not a big Kimura fan but he impressed the hell out of me on this...
Huge production values as well in this drama...they spent some money on this one...
super cast with an new actor (to me) playing Kimura's father, if he doesn't drive you crazy with his machinations to defeat his son...nothing will...

Papa to Musume eps 3..
and hanazakari eps 3..

Food Fight 2nd SP......

N's Aoi Ep 5

Satomi + Nurse uniform = :drooling: :hehe:

First Kiss episode 1

finished Koi no Ochitara

8/10

all the casts were picture perfect for their roles. they all had their own charms. and that covered up the pretty slow paced and not so interesting story at the beginning.

what freaks me is Kusanagi Tsuyoshi. there was nothing wrong with his acting. But really, somebody should stuff him with a dozen of carbo bars a day. he looks like a living twig! :bleh: and people say Nicole Richie is thin?
well... that was probably the reason why he got the role anyway :hehe:

Considering that he was a regular on the Dotch Cooking Show and constantly eating, it's suprising that he is a twig... But it'll catch up with him eventually. ;)

He sharpens his nose weely because it also functions as a letter opener.

Matsushita Nao probably screamed "itai!" on the first take of the kissing scene

i liked it :D . didn't take more than a weekend to finish.

tho i must say Koi no Ochitara shouldn't be the title at all. that "Success" title thing is better. i didn't really focus on the lovey-dovey
