What dramas are you currently watching?

Currently all set to start episode 2 of Nobuta wo Produce. Watched the first episode of that a week or so ago, but got too caught up watching the remaining episodes/specials of Nodame in between.

All clear now.

Currently trying to gather up the enthusiasm to finish Proposal Daisakusen, which is kind of slow-paced for me. xD I'm also about to watch GTO (and, sadly, no I have never watched it before, which is why I'm doing so right now xD). I'm looking for a DVD of Stand UP!!, Kimi wa Petto, and Yamada Taro Monogatari, but I can't find any. MySoju isn't cooperating either. D:

I suppose this is something people from the Philippines have to put up with all the time, since Korean Dramas are more prominent here than J-Dramas (although they're showing those too, just not as much). I'm looking forward to GTO, however, because I know they have a DVD of that for sure. xD

Jigoku blahblahblah. Is the the "Hell Girl" thing with Sugimoto Aya?

Yeah, if so I wasn't able to make it past the first episode with that one.

I just finished up "Shika Otoko Aoniyoshi"

I really don't have anything bad to say about it. But then again... I don't have anything particularly good to say either.

Silly premise. Manufactured drama. Telegraphed plot twists.

The actors were all quite good. And the anamatronic deer wasn't a deal breaker.

Ah. Maybe I'm just getting too jaded in my old age.

As to the other show I've been watching. LxIxVxE. This is a pretty dull show. The question now is... how stubborn am I? Will I really force myself to watch all of it?

The Jigoku show is the Double Kitchen wannabe drama with Esumi Makiko & Nogiwa Yoko. It's an "eh" drama, but I'm still watching it.

I heard that a lot of people liked Shika Otoko Aoniyoshi, so I wanted to check it out when I can actually find time to spare. Sounds a bit cheesy from your description though.

And I saw LxIxVxE when it aired on KIKU long ago and I agree that it was a really dull drama. I think it should've been called DxExAxD instead. :hehe: The only storyline I liked was Hitoe's (the sax player). That role made me like her the best of all the SPEED girls.

Geezer this is the drama cori's talking about:http://jdorama.com/drama_1187.htm Basically Double Kitchen but with a different newlywed couple. Kind of like remaking The Honeymooners only with all the original cast except Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows. Not a real good idea and not a real good drama.

wow sounds like u havwe alot on ur plate

wow

iam about to watch Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi i know late but they now getting the time :shakehead:

Ok, checked into another oldie tonight called The Family/Uogokoro Areba Yomegokoro.
It is a charming slow paced family drama, filmed in an old section of Tokyo. The premise is of a not so young man wanting to marry a woman older than himself. The ensemble cast in terrific. I found it drew me in. On ep. 3..... It has been a good week for drama. :thumbsup:

Last Friends.

Cori, Don't let Geezer influence you too much...

I thought Shika Otoko Aoniyoshi was one of the best dramas I've seen in a long time...it made amazing use of Japanese history and mythology to create a great story...
Where else are you going find a drama based in Nara, talking snide animals, a milllenia old archaelogical mystery, one of the most exciting kendo competions you'll ever see, a desparate race to stop the destruction of Japan...
and the best performance by Ayase Haruka ever...even better than Hotaru no Hikari...

Cori, Don't let Geezer influence you too much...

Oh please. If I had any influence over anyone there'd never be another Japanese Medical drama... and all melo drama would carry a prison sentence.

Currently watching Zettai Kareshi, at last :dancing:

Alrighty, so I sat to watch Bambino last night, but I ended up watching bits of Brother Beat again. :smitten:

I'll try to get on the bamwagon when I get home.

Over Time episode 4. I know it's fictitious, but somehow, the dialogues and situations sometimes just felt a little off or made-up...
