I was planning on going back to watching LxIxVxE last night, but I accidentally :hehe: started watching Hataraki Man.

The show is a light weight. Another -- ain't life rough for the working girl in a man's world -- comedy/drama.
But Miho Kanno is the star. And Michiko Kichise glides about the office as if on a cloud. And Aya Hirayama (Haruka 17) is... well, she's there looking all pretty and and Aya-ish.
And if that wasn't enough to get me interested, Yumiko Shaku shows up as a guest star in the second episode.
Can you say, "a fine piece of broadcast entertainment?"
I just watched the third episode of Shukan Maki Yoko

...and I've got to tell you, that's the first time in a long time that I've found myself laughing out loud in front of a TV screen.
From last week's coming attractions I was under the impression that this was a comedy/horror episode. I was wrong.
It was a comic parody of those awful/wonderful/cheesy Toei & Nikkatsu B-Grade Yakusa movies from the late '60s early '70's. You know; chic is hooked up with the Yakusa boss... gets duped... ends up double crossed and shipped off to prison.
And then she comes back for revenge.
Of course in this one, Abe Sadayo is the gang's main killer.

Freakin' hilarious.
Ahh, completely forgot about this show... Gotta start downlading it when I get home... :victory:

I just finished watching... :sweat:
Spoiler — click to revealCan't really comment much since I don't know what they're saying in most of the dialog... Though it's quite obvious that Sosuke is scum... They'd better get around to explain why he's such a dirtbag or I'm gonna have to go to Japan and kick his sorry little woman-abusing girly ass.
Grr, they shouldn't show previews of the following week's episode: it's too much of a spoiler... It was anticlimactic to see Ruka crash her bike, 'cause they showed in last weeks preview.... Stupid. :shakehead:
Aibou/Partners 3, episode 5 (I think). Harada Ryuji plays a ditzy accountant, turned "detective" and he's just aggravating. Aggravating, but still :inlove:
Also watched the first episode of Aibou 4 and it bored me. Wha? An Aibou episode that's boring?? Hopefully the series picks up later on.
On Topic: Okay, seriously. Why am I not watching any dramas?! :shocked: It's been weeks. I think I'll watch Security Police, since Bambino seems to have cursed my track.
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.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
The important thing is to be consistent, dear. :hug: :mrgreen:
And once about every two years I do a Med drama.
White Tower ep 8 so far. ;)
Kurosawa Toshiaki is rocking on in his ambitious brilliant surgeon way. Guess everyone knows Im a fan of his. :hehe:
Watched a rather cute special called Kanojo to no Tadashii Asobikate The premise of a childhood agreement that one would act as servant to the other secretly until outside people discovered it but pretty well done. THe young actors charming and fresh. The story, thankfully, kept to a special so it didnt grow too tired or repetitive
@Beem- We dont watch the previews in my house because it makes us crazy with their spoilers. :banghead:
Replying needs an account. Registration opens soon.
