What dramas are you currently watching?

With all this talk about Miki Mizuno I thought I'd sneak this in.

She's in a fairly new slasher movie called

Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman (2007)
(Kuchisake-onna)

I bring it up only because she does such a great job in it.

I'm a big fan of hers, and I've seen her in a dozen series and a couple of movies. But I watched this whole movie, and didn't know she was the "Slit Mouthed Woman" until her interview in the DVD feature section came up.

And yes, she did a few scenes without her horror make-up on. But she was playing such a different character than anything I'd ever seen her do before... I simply didn't recognize her.

That's acting.

I thought I'd mention it because in the dopey American DVD release they have her name wrong in the credits.

The Dad played by Furuya Ikko in "Dinner on Thursday" is hilarious....I forgot how funny his character was.

You mean when he decided to move the furniture around himself?

That's one of his many great moments.

'Iryu 2' ep. 3. Chinks are starting to appear in the armour. The style is still there, just not a whole lot of substance so far. May be season 1 is so entrenched in my mind that I find some of the main characters' 'not so subtle' personality changes quite incredulous and illogical.

watching the midnight dramas Shigeshoshi and Mop Girl..both about death. very entertaining and interesting so far..

Are any teams subbing Mop Girl now? I also want to watch it but can't find subs.

a new team, Timeless, will sub this drama but they haven't released anything yet.

Watched episode 4 of Star no Koi. It's an ok drama, but it just isn't pulling me in at all. Maybe it's because I'm not too fond of Norika's character or SMAP dude either. I'll still keep on watching to see if it gets better. And to see if I warm up to them.

Finished Dinner on Thursday...funny as hell. This is why I got into dramas....this program which aired back in '92 is better than most of the crap that gets churned out now...before TV productions were hijacked by Johnny's asexual looking minions who satisfy his homoerotic fetish.

Geezer recommended that one before as I recall.

I watching Long Love Letter and really enjoyed the first ep.
Ive waited awhile for this one to be subbed. Tokiwa Takako was the first actress I saw in a Jdrama and hooked me. This series I have a feeling is going to be very good.

O! >>looks for it on D-Addicts. :good:

On Topic: FINALLY I can continue Oyaji. I've been sidetracked because of work and Halloween. Let's see... I believe I was on epi 4.

Okies, I think I'm becoming a solid Mizuno Miki fan. I just finished epi 4 and her scene

Spoiler — click to reveal

where she reveals that she is pregnant and storms out

actually made my heart pulse. There is a lot of drama in this show and so much has happened already, and yet HER scene that gets me all emotional! Such a grand actress!

On Topic: Epi 5 of Oyaji.
