What dramas are you currently watching?

LOL, it sounds like it's a roll of the dice... And at times it probably is. :sweat:

concentrates on a individual sister...

Shinohara Ryoko fans, rejoice...
this is your episode...serious major face time for Ryoko...

it's also a complete tearjerker, so anyone who has a problem with reality...you've been warned!

I thought Mukodono was meant to be funny? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong drama.
Anyway, I'll avoid it if it's sad *hates being made to cry* :victory:

UK post is a definite lottery...

Mukudono is supposed to be a comedy.... well, romantic comedy I guess.


OT: Churasan Ep.6

I just watched the first episode of "Jikou Keisatsu 2"

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Jikou_Keisatsu

TV's finest, silliest, absurdist -- surrealistic -- slap-stick -- detective, romantic comedy.

I love this show.

Finished Concerto....."Old Boy" Tamura Masakazu was in fine form those many years ago in '96.

I like to watch dramas that are currently airing in Japan... for obvious reasons. We only watch the best of the best due to limited time. So right now we're still enjoying Shiori to Shimiko no Kaiki Jikenbo.

Once it gets subtitled, it's strongly recommended that you guys check it out. It's super funny and a little bit creepy. A great and unique drama.

What's the storyline :mrgreen: Shall try it out =)

It's a different story every week. Usually starting with something horrific. Then the "team" of junior investigators go to see what the deal is. Here's where it gets funny.

For example, in one episode there was an evil truck that ran over and killed a business man at the start of the show. The way the truck was stopped was with pastries and cakes. A cake gun was made that fired the sweets at the truck. It vanished after being pelted with cakes and pies.

It gets better and better with each episode. More surreal and outlandish.

You have to give it a few chances. The first episode isn't that great. But it does get better. By the 6th episode, I'd rank this up there as one of the best.

Slapstick??

Gasp...!! :shocked:

OK, here's some weirdness...

Last night, I watched Ganbatte Ikimassho ep 5...some of the worst subs ever, ever...

Tonight, I watched Ganbatte Ikimassho ep 6...and the subs were flawless, no, beyond flawless...these were best subs I've ever seen...and it's the same fansubbers...

My bind is moggled...

I know! But I swear, just beneath Jikou Keisatsufs normal veneer of subtle, sophisticated, wit and banterc I swear I could hear Curlyfs hwoo woo woo wooh.

I'm gonna go walk the dog now and then plug in ep 2. Just to see if the pattern hold true.

Finished Ice Wall/ Hyouheki.
The mountain climbing scenes at K2 were breathtakingly beautiful. We both thought the plot line was strong and actors competent. The love stories bittersweet, but not depressing.
It wasnt great but still compelling and very good.

Finished Mukodono 2003 ep5...

OK, this show just jetpropelled itself into the amazement zone...

A couple of firsts...

breaking thru the 4th wall, never seen that done before in a dorama and they did it in a Spectacular way...there had to be at least 5000 people there!

A reference to another dorama...Kimi wa Petto, specifically...when have you ever heard someone talk about a drama in a drama...

Actually there's a scene in Beautiful Life where Kyoko's brother, talks about Nanako Matsushima in a drama....

Good call...
it's hard to believe there isnt some reference now and then from one show about another...

No doubt. I see your point.

Hmm....the only other similar reference I can think of, is Nanako Matsushima's character in GTO having that big ol' poster of Yutaka Takenouchi in her apartment....although she doesn't technically talk about him as an actor....

Um, I finally finished episode three of Kuitan. :sweat: Hopefully I'll have time to finish up the rest of the series this weekend. :fingerscrossed:

I've seen quite a few actually.

The one that comes quickly to mind is from Koi no Bakansu.

Sanma is trying to make small talk to Ryo in either the first or second episode. He starts talking about dramas, and asks her if she's seen "Long Vacation." She says she had and that she thought it was wonderful.

He asks her what Kimura had that he doesn't and she replies with a knowing smile... "Everything."

Of course, Ryo was in "Long Vacation". It had aired 6 months before "Koi no Bakansu".

Cute little inside joke.[/i]

Jiko Keisatsu, Episode 5. :hehe: :rofl:

Hmmmm... actually, I don't remember the drama, but there have been references of Densha Otoko in other dramas.
