What dramas are you currently watching?

Shinai No NAru Ni is very absorbing.

Im on ep 5 snd have really liked it so far.

Also started Bara No Nai HAnaya last night.
Looks very promising.

I have seen the first 3 episodes of Anna-san no Omame, and what a funny show. The most misunderstanding girl in the world (and she really is), hahaha.. this is hilarious. Can't wait to dl the rest of the series. Becky is awesome :)

"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.

Great analogy, Geezer.

Sweet Home is one of the best written, best acted dorama of the 90's, a decade which produced a number of excellent series which were significantly superior to almost of the stuff made in the 21st century.

Tomoko Yamaguchi is at the top of her game here (which is saying something).

And don't forget Yoko Nogiwa's performance--maybe her best role (which is also saying something).

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.

On Last Christmas - yeah, totally liking it. It's kinda silly, but that's okay. I didn't get to watch any last night - ended up building a desk for my new place and lots of other work. It feels like I never get to sit down right now.

But this weekend will provide some nice drama-watching time, I hope!

Re: Last Christmas Tsuyoshi Ihara as Oda's boss always making the awful jokes was great. And anything with Ryo in it I gotta watch.

I hope you watched Koi no Bakansu. That was one of the best comedies I've seen. :rofl:

And I'm going to try to watch the third episode of Last Friends as soon as I find out if my authoring worked or not. :fingerscrossed:

Thanks, I may have to check that out, I have the last episode of Ashita no Kita, , , to go. I hope they don't screw it up because it's been great so far. [/list:u]

If you used ConvertX like cori-chan, maybe not. :sweat:

Finished Ashita no Kita Yoshio big thumbs up!! :thumbsup: I guess it got horrible ratings which I cannot understand at all. And I really want to see Ryuhei Matsuda again, he's got a very bright future.

You may have to check it out? Make it a must! :D Although Ryo doesn't look that great with her frizzed-out hair. :hehe:

Um, that was me who used it. :confused:

On topic: Watched the third episode of Last Friends and the first three episodes of Zettai Kareshi. Both are really great and it seems like this is one of the best seasons for Jdramas. :D

Just finished Ep 8 of Last Christmas. The drama is falling into a similar cycle of each episode starting out with a troubling preview, making you think it's better at the beginning of the ep, and then creating a new, similar conflict shortly thereafter and then resolving it (at least mostly) just before the end so that the new problem can be hinted at. It's getting kinda old.

It's too bad.. I think Aoi is great - she's flawed just enough to counterbalance the ne'er do wrong Kenji (seriously.. he's more steadfast than Kai from Orange Days! He needs some flaws.. perfect characters may make you smile, but they're boring. The worst he does is the same as in every other drama - withhold some somewhat troubling information because it might break the mood (what is with that anyways? It only leads to more problems))

Surprisingly, I'm totally impatient with Naoya (Hiroshi) and Ritsuko's (Nana) story. I don't feel like it serves much purpose and it only complicates the ridiculously silly love polyangle.

In other ways, I like the good guy that Oda Yuji plays.. it's endlessly sweet and endearing to have someone you can count on to do the right thing in the end.

Oh.. and I'm a huge fan of Sally (Ryo) - she's so cute and a great friend character.

I wish I knew someone in my area who would do this for me because I'd rather watch dramas instead of dealing with all this technical stuff. :puppydog:

On topic: gonna watch the fourth episode of Zettai Kareshi soon. I'd watch the next episode of Last Friends, but I wanted to author another drama before I had to go out today. :sweat:

There's gotta be someone else in your neck of the woods that watches this stuff.... :)

Most of the people I know who watch it here are older (50s and 60s) and I know they don't download from d-addicts or LJs, so I doubt they'd know how to convert files to DVD. If there are any younger people here who download the eps, I wouldn't know where to find them. :puppydog:

On topic: Finished the fourth episode of Zettai Kareshi. Makes me wish I had a "zettai kareshi" of my own. :hehe:

I'm gonna watch Sweet Home epi 2 after I clean my desk.

I spent yesterday with my cousin and ended up re-watching episodes 5-8 of Gokusen. She's coming over again today so we'll prolly finish it.
