Itai, no.... :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Finished Big Money...very good show, highly recommended...my hat's off to the subbers who handled some tough financial and technical language well!

Watching ep6 of Jiko Keisatsu2...which is to say the first ep Geezer & BMWRACER provided the last subs for...you guys did a great job!...I love your disclaimer at the beginning...

Oh ok. Was just wondering since you sorta implied it. :sweat:

And on topic: I watched episodes 5 through 8 of Bara no nai Hanaya. In the beginning episodes, I thought it was slow and even kind of boring and overrated, but now I'm just captivated by it. I can't wait for the next 3 episodes to be done so I can watch it on DVD.

Not really... I was referring to what caused the need for two discs, not why he needed two discs... :mrgreen:

Watched the first episode of Hitonatsu no Proposal. I remember watching this on KIKU about 10 years ago and it's just as great as it was then.

runpup,

Oooo! A customer! I hope you enjoy. And if you don't... it was all BMW's idea.

Right now I'm watching IRYU 2.

It's really really awful. It's the perfect example of the sort of embarassingly lame, soapy, melodrama that has soured me on all Japanese medical dramas.

So bad, in fact, that it's not really even laughable.

But Yuki Uchida's in it... so I gotta watch. (The life of a fan is a hard one.)

The cool news is... Yuki's playing the villain. The bad girl. The... wait for it, it's a line from the show... "...a demon with the face of an angel."

I'm gonna have to get some liniment for my fast forward finger.

The first was awful...I quit the sucker quick....it's like you said...by and large medical doramas are laughably bad.

The only medical drama that I've seen and liked thus far was Dr. Koto...and even that got a bit stale at times....the formula is just wack.

I couldn't get past the second episode of Dr. Koto.

I have to think twice before I'll watch anything where one of the main characters wears a lab coat.

That's how I feel about the medical doramas...you need to be on meds to watch them....


....I watched Koto for Kou Shibasaki pretty much, not the goofy doctor.

Me to. But it seemed to me that she'd just had a total face and body botox treatment before doing the show... so there was no point in wasting my time.

Watch Dr. Koto. Stare at a still photo of Kou. Same difference.

:hehe:

And so goes the story, they can't all be hits......

I started watching Liar Game yesterday and just finished it. Wow couldn't stop watching! I loved it! Sugoi sugoi! :dancing:

...or as bmwracer would put it "more emotional mud". Even though I got enough emotional mud in my life right now =T
(but in real life I can't see Aoi Yuu in a swimsuit :beaten: )

KKK2003 is the WORST drama I have ever seen in my life. I'd rather watch SOS sixty times over then watch KKK2003 again. I feel your pain.

The first episode was very confusing because of all the information it provided. It gets better, but I enjoyed it only because of Takashima Reiko. Without her I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much (great script, tho!).

Whew, finally caught up in this thread. :sweat:

I watched epi 6 of Tokyo Love Story last night. It's getting really good. I love this sorta misunderstanding/angsty stuff! My sis provided a spoiler for me which makes me think I'll be frustrated with the ending tho...

Watched Beautiful Life in 2 days. Really I watched most of it on Sunday because it was my last day of break and I wanted to get done as much as possible. It was a good show but I am very sick of Kimutaku. He plays the same character in a different profession every time. The only time I really felt like he was acting was in Karei-naru Ichizoku. It gets really tiring to see the same thing over and over from him. Yet I keep watching his shows, hmm.

Now since I'm dropping one of my classes, I have a few more hours to watch dramas. I'm watching First Kiss now. It is actually not that bad. I tried to watch it last summer but only made it about 10 minutes into the 1st episode because the main character was such an annoying bitch. Maybe because I have really low expectations I don't think it's horrible.

He has his screen persona to maintain.

Now he's gonna be Prime Minister in a new drama... Talk about Fantasyland.
