Got Something You Want To Say?

I guess that's how some people are. My family included. :(

I'm not sure if those dramas were really that good a selection. For a woman, I think it would be better to show a drama that she could relate to in some way--probably a romantic comedy or a cute, affectionate drama, or something with a heartbreaking theme. If I had to suggest some dramas, I'd either go with Kimi ga oshiete kureta koto, Long vacation, Virgin road, or something in the lines of that.

Really?

I really loved Nodame and Kuitan... :sweat:

But I see what you mean. Long Vacation woulda been a good one to show.

My niece absolutely adored Nodame... She's even tried flipping the ends of her hair Nodame-style... Funny girl. :hug:

I'm off to my aunt's house. Jaa ne. :)

I think it's more that she's just not interested. I mean, some people don't like watching stuff where they have to read

A friend of mine is like, absolutely REFUSES to watch anything with subtitles :beatyou: [/list:u]

Yeah, but you *like* Japanese dramas, AD's wife apparently does not. I think that finding a drama that suits the person's interests/personality makes it easier to get the person into watching it.

That's why I was thinking of what sort of dramas would appeal to someone in her 30's and 40's and rom-com or emotional dramas are usually the key.

But isn't your niece in her mid-twenties? I think AD's wife is in her 30's or 40's and maybe Nodame's sometimes offbeat comedy may not appeal to her as a romantic comedy would. Of course, I may be generalizing too much here. :sweat:

Well, that person does not know what he/she is missing then.

why is he illiterate?

Possibly, he IS a product of the L.A. Unified School District. But, actually, he just doesn't like anything with subtitles. My Dad is kind of the same way, he hates anything that has flashbacks. [/list:u]

That's some beastie! I've not seen anything like THAT here :)

Maybe he just needs to strap her to a chair and force her to watch them. :hehe: Or perhaps we could suggest dramas that would appeal to her?

I'm still trying...

My Mrs is the same age as me ;)

I don't know why she doesn't like JDrama - i've tried to get her to watch a few times. It's not like she won't watch subtitled stuff, because she does. I guess I just have to get her at the right time, with the right drama...

Do you think your wife would be interested in the following dramas:

Kimi ga oshiete kureta koto http://jdorama.com/drama.490.htm
Long vacation http://jdorama.com/drama.239.htm
Virgin road http://jdorama.com/drama.438.htm

I'd be happy to make you copies if you want. :)

Um, not sure. Thanks for the offer! I'll have to have a good think about what she might like :)

Thanks but no thanks :P Hey, I could send you a Huntsman spider to eat all your roaches ;)

You're welcome. :) We'll get her into Jdramas someday for sure. :mrgreen:

Um, I'll pass. I'd rather trade dramas than insects (arachnids, for those anal people). :P

I'd rather not talk about insects at all, so lets change the subject.

I spent the afternoon/evening with my niece and nephew. SO CUTE! My nephew is just a year old and EVERYTHING sparks his interested. We chased an ant for like an hour and he giggled the whole time.

O wait, we're back on insects again. :doh:

Can't help yourself huh? :doh:
