Damn. I loved her in Kekkon too (maybe her real name is Ryoko? :hehe: ) and i've been wanting to see her in something else. This looks good!

Oh, it has Sakai Masaaki from Churasan in it! Wow. I Don't know if i can see him as anything other than the shamisen-playing Bun-chan :sweat:

Thank goodness. :sweat:

Just watched the first episode of Monster Parent, and in the process of downloading the first episodes of Galileo and Beautiful Life.

Simply put, I did not like it. :sweat: But, it's only the first episode, and I've learned my lessons about first episodes (or else I would've missed out on Nodame), so I'll watch a couple more episodes at least.

Thinking about trying out Maou soon, depending on if I get the time to download (that or I may just watch it streaming at work or something *shrug).

softsubs for the 2nd episode already released btw.

obviously, watching Maou episode 2 with subs.
I think somebody mentioned Ohno looks like a girl. Well he does. He's born pretty. God made them beautiful that way :mrgreen:

Finished up Ep. 3 of Long Vacation last night. So far, I'm not a huge fan... feels a lot like Last Christmas.

I mean, it's watchable.. but the two stories that interest me (the "failed piano career" and the "aging model") are constantly being sidelined by forced love stories and cliche romantic awkwardness.

I really think sometimes these dramas suffer for trying to be too much involved in love stories at the expense of other, more nuanced and arguably more interesting, facets.

A.D.

Oh, it has Sakai Masaaki from Churasan in it! Wow. I Don't know if i can see him as anything other than the shamisen-playing Bun-chan

He's the titular lead in this drama. It's the old, can the wrinkly old man really find true love with the beautiful younger woman fairy tale.

But Sakai has done some serious aging since Churasan. I had a hard time placing him.

I say "titular" because this is really Yui's show.

My bet is... anyone who loved her in "Kekkon" will be over the moon about her in "Muri".

Souka? Yea maybe I should then, because after the second ep now I'm still not that into it. When is the film from? Because I've seen a film with Matsumoto Jun as well called Tokyo Tower. It's not the same, right?

O no, really?! I'm gonna start epi 4 later and I haven't fallen asleep yet...

Well I'm glad someone enjoys it :D I like the storyline but somehow.. it makes me sleepy :sweat: It's a bit too slow in my opinion.
