What dramas are you currently watching?

Just finished watching Shoni Kyumei. I only watched this for Manami. I have to admit I'm seriously biased against medical shows. I work at a hospital, so after doing my 8 hrs a day of clinical rotations the last thing I want to see is someone playing doctor on screen. I fast forwarded a lot during the show. I thought the show was alright but I can't really compare it to other medical shows cause I haven't seen many. You can download it here: http://s1.zetaboards.com/TimeLesSub/topic/832229/1/#new

I saw it as well. It was o.k., nothing special, but not all that bad. Personally I think producers/writers of doramas should have a 5 year moratorium on making any dramas set either in a high school or a hospital! [/list:u] But back to Shoni Kyumei. Like I said it was just o.k.,the first couple episodes I struggled with, they had all the usual medical drama cliches, but then it got better as it went along. I really liked Eri Watanabe in the Dr. Zorba role. (Geez, Dr. Zorba, am I dating myself here, or what!! :doh: ) [/list:u]

Here's a question: have you seen Kirakira Kenshui? :sweat:

Watching the Galileo SP. I thought the series was decent but not great. Shibasaki Kou's whiny character with all her facial expressions annoyed me but she's not in this so that's definitely a plus!

Episode 7 of Galileo. Even though certain things get repetitive, I really like this series. Maybe I should watch the SP after I finish the series since I downloaded it today.

But you have Masami to contend with. :beaten:

Zeni Geba epsiode 1

The camera work is very good. The first episode was all background and setup, taking its time to show the pains of being poor, but I found it too slow, and too gloomy. Matsuyama Kenichi was good but not totally convincing for me. I was watching for Mimura, but she only appeared in a few short scenes.

1st half of Mei-chan. Hiro is a hot butler, Nana-chan is cute.

3 quarter of Voice. Enjoyed this very much :mrgreen: . Eita, Toma & Satomi-chan were great!. Will finish it tonight. Maybe my favourite drama this season.

Utaoni 1st episode. Can't wait for the 2nd episode!

edit: OMG. Manip of Abe + Eita in sadacori's avatar! :rofl:

So desu. I didn't think the special was anything "special". It's more of a "prequel" shows how the detective and Fukuyama first met. For me Galileo without Kou would be like Trick without Yuki. You gotta have 'em both for it to work. [/list:u]

Yes, I realized that. Yikes. It looks like they stuck her in for just that purpose- to have a whiny, annoying girl who wants to help Yuukawa. It was decent, I guess. Not bad. Not great.

Eeek, that sounds like a carryover from her Last Friends character. :bleh:

THey are the best! :victory: Take mine on every vacation too!

Kita no kuni kara ep. 6.

It's more like somebody following a rural Hokkaido family around with a camera than an actual scripted drama. You just forget that they are actors, not "real" people. :applaud:

Doesn't that sort of negate the whole point of going on vacation? :beaten:

No I haven't. But I have to admit I was seriously tempted to watch it.

Watched second ep of Voice. Same fare as first ep. Boring. And first ep of Zeni Geba. Looks miserable and depressing, but interesting.
