What dramas are you currently watching?

I am currently following Bara no nai Hanaya, Hachikuro, Edison no Ha Ha, Daisuki.

Meanwhile, also watching Slow Dance.

Talking about Slow Dance, i read the reviews in the drama detailed page, many people said it was slow and not nice... I thought it was good ( I'm half way through it now). Nice multiple love triangles, a very nice theme song to go along with it, and it has both Satoshi and Fujiki in the same drama, it is actually 10 times better than I thought it would be (after reading the reviews).

Watching Jikou Keisatsu episode 6. I'm doing okay understanding the RAW except for the whole part about the mystery, which is of course, the most important part. :shakehead:

Also this season instead of trying to decide on a few dramas to watch I'm just watching everything that's subbed.

TOTALLY! I had to do a double take. :hehe: I hope Miki-san gets some lines soon. :beaten:

On Topic: On episode 3 now of Odoru.

I've got Jiko Keisatsu hardsubbed on DVD-video, if you're interested. :)

Crap, I meant Jikou Keisatsu 2. I finished watching it and it actually wasn't that bad without subs. Maybe I should do that more often to help me practice Japanese.

Cool... We could use a Japanese translator for dramas... :mrgreen:

That's the way to do it. Subtitles are a distraction. Concentrate on the audio and the context. You'll be able to figure out what is going on. If there's something you just can't get and have to know.... "rewind" and write the passage down to ask for help here at J-Do or ask your Japanese friends what the deal is.

On topic: We're waiting patiently for Gryzze to seed episode 4 of Shiori to Shimiko no Kaiki Jikenbo. It aired today in Japan.

now watching SAILORMOON Live Action episode 31!

:woot: Episodes 33-34 were my fav!

On Topic: Episode 4 of Odoru!

Finished watching episode 1 of Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni and it seems decent, but a little dry so far. Just a typical housewife-falls-in-love-with-a-younger-boy type of drama. And I'm going back to my original opinion of Yanagiba Toshiro being the boring, unappealing character. Such a difference from his cool role in Odoru Nantoka.

Doesn't sound like your shoyu pork.

Nope, not at all. :mrgreen: Speaking of that, maybe I should watch Kuitan some time soon just to check out what kind of food they have there...not to mention a certain actor. :beaten:

The food is pretty delish on Kuitan. I haven't seen the second one but I'm sure it's no different in that regard.

Yup, Ito Shiro's been in almost everything, like Takenaka Naoto, Kohinata Fumiyo, Namase Katsuhisa, et al... :victory:

Do I have to mention him running around in whiteface in Uchoten Hotel?

I had forgotten about that, recalling mostly his TV work. That movie was absolutely hilarious. A real gem.

Finished ep 7 of Juken no Kamisama...
man, the quick and dirty Chinese to English subs for this are dirty indeed...but not so bad that you can't figure out what's going on...

OT...on Geezer's recommendation...halfway through the Korean drama Evasive Inquiry Agency...it's just a complete romp, so funny...but there's a lot of depth here...
I've watched about a dozen Korean dramas...this one is the best of the bunch...
