What dramas are you currently watching?

I'm 6 episodes into Bara No Nai Hana Ya

Somehow I doubt I'll get through the seventh. It's the kind of romantic melodrama that depends on the stupidity of the characters... and the audience.

Six episodes in and to be honest, I really don't care what happens to any of the characters.

I just watched the first episode. Yeah... this is better. Mimura, Risa Sudo... One crusading Mom standing up, against all odds, for the rules of civilized society. That's the ticket.

What are you in the mood for?

It ended up working out in its own way.

I'm on episode 5 and I'm really liking it. I've fascinated with just about everything that's going on! Wynter <--- nerd

I guess I will watch that next since you mentioned it in your email too. Unfortunately I have a lot of homework and work this weekend.... thinking for a minute... wait that has never actually stopped me before... :beaten:

Right now watching Zettai Kareshi ep 5 while trying to write my speech for Japanese. Such a damn cute, funny show. I don't think the manga fans like it that much but it's good enough for me. I couldn't wait to have cori download it for me so it's one I'm risking downloading myself.

Good choice. Who needs homework when you have dramas to watch. :thumbsup: :beaten:

Ooh, I'm going to author that to DVD soon, so I might have to watch it asap. :D

I watched Zettai Kareshi and wrote my speech at the same time. :victory:

I also watched the first episode of Change earlier. It was decent. I don't know what Kimutaku's character's profession will be in his next drama. They will run out of original ones soon. Since that's pretty much the only difference in his characters... Well, to be fair this one and Karei-naru Ichizoku seems to have him actually acting and not just playing himself at a different job.

Ryokiteki na Kanojo episode 4.. as the series moves on.. it's getting better and better.. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi and Tanaka Rena had a good chemistry.. and Matsushita Nao is brilliant!!!.. :victory:

Finished ep. 8 of Ashita no Kita Yoshio I am LOVING this drama!! :woot: Well written, great performances all the way down the line. In episode 8 they introduced a character briefly named Azuma. The actor playing Azuma is Masayoshi Yamazaki a Japanese singer who sings the theme song for this drama. I love it when they do stuff like that! Kind of like they're winking at us saying, 'You're paying attention, right?" :applaud:

Agreed. The ending was a little too preachy, but it was a really good drama anyway. :)

On topic: Gonna watch the second episode of Last Friends. :victory:

There was a drama that Geez was talking about much earlier that I said I would move to the fourth place on my watch list. Of course, I've lost my list (yes, I still write on paper :beaten: ), and I can't remember what that drama is!

So I'm moving on to Sweet Home (thanks shin2!) which seems rather promising. I really REALLY enjoy Tomoko-san. :victory:

Wynter,

We were talking about 101st Proposal.

But you can't go wrong with Sweet Home. It is a pure joy.

Flowers for Algernon episode 1

Perhaps/despite that I already know the story, it was quite moving even in the first episode. Both Santamaria Yusuke and Kanno Miho were very good already.

Currenly watching:

Last Friends - waiting on ep6 hardsubs
Zettai Kareshi - same
Sekai no Chuushin de - ep3
Hotaru no Hikari - waiting for someone to seed 1024 version of ep3 and up! :doh:
might start CHANGE soon too

ahh I love summer and careless drama watching!

You're not alone, Cori and Eve like it, watashi mo ... we are all nerds :mrgreen:
On topic, after a drama break I might be ready to start another one ... perhaps Trick.

Then I'll stick with Sweet Home and watch 101st Proposals after it. :victory:

I'm not sure if Eve really enjoyed it. I read her comment on the drama. :beaten:

But I'm glad there are others who do. :woot: O! And you HAVE to watch Trick!!! It's such a grand show! All seasons of it, for that matter.

I'll be starting Sweet Home now. Who needs a prep to prep?

Finished Ep. 5 of Last Christmas. Big breakthrough for the characters. I'll have to watch 6 (and maybe 7 :)) tonight.

I've had a lot less time in the last few days (having moved Tuesday) - and you'll notice I'm posting this from a cafe as I don't get internet in at home until tomorrow. However, they're promising 16 mbit/2 mbit. I'll believe it when I see it :)

I'm desk shopping today - so my monitor doesn't have to sit on boxes. It's a big place and feels really empty right now!

Are you enjoying it?

I finished the first episode of Sweet Home. I LUFF Tomoko! She's so hilarious both verbally and physically. The neighbors crack me up. I'm so glad it's a comedy. I needed one.

Wynter,

"Sweet Home" is like the proverbial snowball rolling down the side of a snow covered mountain. It starts slowly, but with each foot it travels it gets bigger and faster... and even though you can see it coming, and you pretty much know where it's going... it gobbles you up (Tomoko gobbles you up) and drags you along for the ride.

She's just amazing.
