OK. I'm hooked into this drama. Almost from the getgo which is rare unless it's a KimuTaku, Takako Matsu or, Kuninaka Ryoko drama.

A little fanciful but since I'm not a reality freak, I enjoy the premise of the story. Also since Churasan made me so aware of Okinawa, I now enjoy any other drama that has settings in Okinawa. The scenery in these videos is outstanding.

Since I'm still watching Churasan it's a little disconcerting seeing Konishi Manami in both dramas but conflicting roles.

Yes, ralph, I liked this drama a lot as well. I started watching it for Manami Konishi, but stayed for the settings which are spectular to say the least. :applaud: [/list:u] Edit: I think Eve liked this drama as well, although for the life of me, I can't figure out why! :bonk: [/list:u]

So did my BF and for the life of me I cant figure out why!!! :hehe: :hehe:

But I was glad he did!! :mrgreen:

Honestly Ralph, it is a lovely drama set in a lovely place. Romance is not the end all, just good human relations and values. Im very excited to be getting the Special soon!

I don't know why I like this so much either. I'm usually only happy with romantic comedies... :crazy:

I had not heard of a special. That's great. Will be watching for it. :victory:

Watching Hotelier. The Korean version (which I've seen before and adored) and the Japanese version simultaneously.
So far Aya cant really compare to her Korean counterpart but I have to admit I am not a huge Aya fan. (No offense KT and mpm :D )
It was fun seeing Bae Young Jun in his cameo appearance under his original name. He is still swoon worthy!
I have always liked Oikawa Mitsuhiro, since I saw him play Keijiro in Toshiie To Matsu. And he is living up to my expectations this time too.
Im glad they've done a few plot changes for variety and it is certainly interesting seeing the two cultural differences. I think Im going to last out the entire series. :thumbsup:

I'm 4 episodes into KiraKira Hikaru

http://jdorama.com/drama.207.htm

and having a heck of a time trying to limit myself to just one episode per day.

Fukatsu, Kobayashi, Yanagiba, Suzuki... man, what a cast.

Eri is the newly minted Doctor who has joined the coroner's office.

I'm the very happy guy whenever I get to press play.

I finally finished Iguana no Musume (thanks to Lilly for the discs). It was another good Kanno Miho drama. This time she played a timid character. Now I think I need to move on to a comedy or something to cheer me up (darn you, Kono Yo no Hate!)

I think he may have gotten that one from me awhile back. :headscratch:

While waiting for some episodes of Churasan, I think I'll watch Nana the anime. I watched a bit while making a copy and I got instantly hooked!

LOL! I heard Hotelier was a blah drama, so I dropped it down on my watch list.

watching tantei gakuen Q.....

I'd like to see that. :hehe:

Puny as I am right now, Id probably still knock her down for all her fiery temper :lol: in Hotelier.

Which I have to admit I am enjoying. I cant say my opinion is unbiased. I always love dramas where the food and service are good. :hehe: And I loved the korean version as I said before.

So somehow it is still working for me. Im on ep 4. Must have lost some brain cells from that long running fever I had... :doh:

I just finished watching Hanazakari no Kimitachi e....probably the best one I've seen so far XD...and I also just finished off Kimi wa Petto << had to sacrifice some sleep time =_=....Momo~~...man if he arrived at my front door step...BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ya lets not go there XD

I'm in middle of Densha Otoko, Silent, Summer x Summer, GTO, Gokusen, and Summer Snow.

My main objective is to finish off Densha Otoko and Summer Snow XD

cuz i'm absolutely hooked

Shun...*sigh*

Yukan Club episode 7

Sore wa, Totsuzen Arashi No You Ni ep 3
and Tatta Hitotsu No Koi ep 06

Hotelier ep 4.

Finished ep 6 of Kono yo no hate...as others have noted, this is a tough one to watch...it is rather unrelenting in its piling on of misery upon misery...I can't imagine a happy ending to this, and frankly, if that happened, I'd be disappointed in the director's original vision...

side note...it took me forever to realize the actress, Sakurai Sachiko, who plays Nana, the blind sister is the same actress who played the older Saku's girlfriend in Sekachu...what a difference 10 years makes...and for the better...

Nope, sorry. KiraKira Hikaru came to me in a trade. (And if I were even close to awake right now I could tell you who I got it from... but I'm not.)

Eve,

Hotelier? Hopefully the Korean original was better. I watched the first episode of that one and decided that that was finally it for me as an Aya fan. She made it to the skull and crossbones list.
