Geezer,

Like I stated earlier, Iwashita is not really well known in the West. But, as you've already noted, she's got some serious acting chops.

From what I understand, she's been in a number of Taiga series--she was great in the two I've seen her in. As for her filmwork, I've seen four or five of her movies, and she's equally good playing really villainous characters as well as strong heroines. I just wish I had more access to her films and dorama series.

In the book The Dorama Encyclopedia, both co-authors put her number one on their respective lists of Best Dorama Actresses.

One of Iwashita's dramas, Toi Shinseki Chikaku no Tanin / Combat in the Kitchen/ Family Values, a 1999 5-episode show, is available at aznv.tv...

Daisuki! episode 5

Juu nana sai (At 17 / At Seventeen) episode 1

It was chinese-dubbed but still very enjoyable. :woot: ^^

Thanks for providing the link. I recognize a couple of the actors: Judd Hirsch from Taxi and Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure.

Thanks for searching this out. I already have this short series. Iwashita parodies two of her more noted character types: the naginata-wielding noblewoman from her Taiga dramas and the take-charge head of the family from her yakuza movies.

Final episode of Mukodono. Finally. They really drew this one out. :sweat:

just bought hataraki man....waiting to watch i this weekend... :fingerscrossed:

Been checkin' out the Honey and Clover drama - just finished Ep. 2, where Morimota and Hagu have their moment by the beach... So far looks to be as good as the anime, if not better!

Thanks. I think.

Actually I have that show. Saw it years ago. And I guess for some reason Iwashita wasn't able to penetrate the fog I call a brain. simply don't remember her.

I might have to go back and take another look when I finish "Fake Bride."

im on episode 10 of honey and clover!!!
planning on starting taiyou no uta next...not sure yet..haha

If I can, I'll be starting Yasashii Jikan tonight. I remember Eve telling me that I absolutely HAVE to watch this one. ;)

Yes you do! This one is great, plus it's set in Hokkaido in the winter, you'll love it!! :applaud: [/list:u] Edit: I usually don't like telling somebody else, "You'll love it!" because we all have varied tastes, and I've seen dramas that other people loved and I was like, "You gotta be kidding, you liked THAT?!!?" But with Yasashii Jikan I really think you will like it. Some people complained the pace was too slow, but for me that was one of the things I really loved about this drama. Enjoy. [/list:u]
