I've said it over there and I'll say it over here... I think the "Dramas not worth watching" thread should be abolished.

I can't tell you how many times I've read rave reviews of shows that I watched and thought were awful. And of course, flip it around, I've read pages of comments ripping shows that I've enjoyed no end.

Because we like Japanese TV doesn't mean we all like or dislike the same Japanese TV.

So true! Prime example for me would be Hero It got rave reviews, but for whatever reason, it just didn't work for me. As a famous country-western philosopher once said, "If we all liked the same thing, you'd all be after my old lady" [/list:u]

Duly noted.

I would tend to agree... It's just a bashing thread, really.

Any others agree/disagree?

Yea I agree with you and Musa. As many members here have heard me say numerous times, I like to judge dramas on my own instead of relying too much on other people. Our tastes vary and we all watch shows for different reasons. That thread is too biased, tho it is fun to share which dramas we dislike the most as B-san said, but we could always just bash in the appropriate thread, instead of having a whole other for it.

On Topic: HtP epi 4! Such a kawaii drama!

I say we abolish certain actors....that would be a more efficient decision.

Still watching; Taiyou no uta

3 episodes in and white knuckling my theory that you have to give a show 4 or 5 episodes before giving up on it because they just might find their stride.

I wonder if anyone will be able to teach Sawajira Erika how to either sing, or act, in the next two episodes.

I don't wanna say "I told you so", but I will suggest that you stop looking for that hope. You won't find it.

Even though it's a "bashing thread," if it's gone, where else can people go to give their negative opinions on certain dramas? Sure, they could post it in the respective drama threads, but it will only get buried by other posts.

For me, I like reading others' opinions (negative included) and I take it into consideration whether to see a certain drama or not. If it's a silly reason not to watch a drama (people being ugly, storyline too deep, too dark, and such), it makes me curious, rather than opposed to seeing a drama. If it's a legit reason (people not having acting skills, plot being boring/awful, etc), then I like to have that extra knowledge, rather than diving into a drama that could've been easily avoided.

So although a bunch of you are opposed to that thread, it's more of a benefit for someone like me who has to be selective on the drama watching.

On topic: I finished watching Love Revolution last night and watched the entire series of Kekkon Dekinai Otoko in a couple of days. :sweat: I think I'll watch Last Christmas later tonight.
