Actually, I didn't cry in the first epi, but the drama made me feel really REALLY sad. Poor children. :puppydog:

I don't think I'll enjoy this drama...

Anyways, off to epi 2.

LOL! I bought it on ebay. I use it all the time to please you-know-who.

I really liked searchin' for my polestar (thanks musa!). It was really raw and real.

I just finished the third epi of Byaku. That's it for today. :shakehead:

Back on topic (yet again):

Yagyu Conspiracy, Episode 38.

One more to go.

it's different... i so don't like this one. it's way too slow, depressing, etc. and i don't like Yamada Takayuki from the start. i didn't finish this one. no matter how good the reviews said it was :beaten:

Same here. It only took me 10 minutes to put it in the never to be watched bin. It's gross and incredibly depressing... What a waste of 2 of the most talented actors in the Japanese A list... of course they were trying to float on the Crying bandwagon. bah... :grumble:

For what's it's worth, I thought Byaku Yakou was a top drawer, first class drama.

It doesn't have a happy ending (that's not a spoiler... it's the first scene in the drama) but it's not a "weep fest".

Where do evil people come from? Do monsters in human form simply sprout up fully formed, ready to be bad? Or do the things that happen to us, and the choices we make, even those we make as children, influence us for the rest of our lives?

It's about human strength and weakness, and consequences.

For my money, there's a lot more to this show than the saccharine, paper thin plot of "Crying Out Love..."

And I thought Yamada, Ayase, Takeda & Watabe all did outstanding jobs creating very memorable characters.

papa to musume nanokan ep 5 :victory:

Geezer

Great timing! I finished the third epi last night and I was talking to my sister about it. There's something seriously gripping about the drama. I don't like it, like one doesn't like cough syrup, and it's not at all because it's badly written or acted. Watching it has reminded me why I had voted for Yamada and Ayase so long ago. It's just a really dark drama that makes me feel sad and worn. It's not a tear-jerker, like you said. It's at a higher level. Although I don't like it, I respect it because it's unique. Not liking it is a compliment to this drama, because it's succeeded in making me feel what I think it wants us to recognize about life. It's a true study of human nature and how personal experiences mold and create selves without our control.

Mind you, that's my reflection after watching just 3 episodes.

I think I'll go watch the fourth now.

finished double kitchen...the more i revisit or watch these older doramas for the first time the more i realize that they are entirely different creatures from the majority of the TV shows that are currently in production these days.

the stories are often simpler and less convoluted which only emphasizes the need for better acting and execution.

yesterday i watched yamada tarou 07....
today...i dont watch any dorama
tomorrow or saturday i hope i can watch HanaKimi 08...

dorama that i watch this season are:
HanaKimi
Yamada Tarou
Yama Onna Kabe Onna
Papa to Musume
Tantei Gakuen

Much like GTO is the best of the high school genre, Double Kitchen is the best of the mother-in-law vs. daughter-in-law genre. Everything else is an imitation, IMHO. [/list:u]

the last 5 years of doramas can largely be considered an imitation....

I have the feeling that if I take a break and watch soemthing else, I won't be able to go back. It really puts one in a certain mindframe, eh?

Epi 6 now of Byaku.
