Shomuni

Is there something wrong with cleavage?

Oh, and I'm with keps:

Kyono Kotomi is Sawako Tsukahara of Shomuni.

She was just pretending in Kuitan.

Not if there's talent to go along with it. [/list:u]

When it's the refrigerator repairman's butt cleavage, hell yeah. (Geezer, you're old enough to perhaps recognize this reference)

*whoosh* <- Sound of the above reference flying over keps' head. :mrgreen:

Finished series 1 today. This was such a satisfying drama. Loved it!
A wonderful set of characters...well, maybe except for Ikami. I found him wet and irksome (as I'm sure he was supppsed to be :beaten: ).
And having Sawako's dad in just one episode was a TRAVESTY. :grumble:

I hope I'm not setting you up for a letdown, but I honestly think Shomuni 2 is the best of the 3. Enjoy!!![/list:u]

Ooooooooo so the second season is better than the first, eh? That's rare!

Yes it is! But with Shomuni 2 all the characters were established, the writers tightened everything up a notch and the actors kept pace. [/list:u]

In the early days of Saturday Night Live, there was a skit in which Dan Ackroyd played a refrigerator repairman making a service call. For much of the skit, he had his back turned to the audience, exposing butt cleavage spilling over his waistband.

I have to agree with gaijinmark; the second season is better than the first. This is especially notable because the first season was very good to begin with, so topping it is a considerable accomplishment.

Oh...I don't think we've ever had that show here. :D
Somehow though, I'm not too sorry I missed acres of bum. :hehe:

I think I'm going to watch another drama before Shomuni 2...think I'll enjoy it more after a break.
Abscence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that. :)

I'm assuming these are the 2 specials and Shomuni Forever. I don't know anything about these files, but once they're d/loaded (it will be awhile), I'll let you guys know.

So did you find out what these were?

That is exactly how I did it. I didn't want to get to burnt out on Shomuni. And when I would start it after watching something else, it was like visiting some old friends you hadn't seen for awhile. :victory: [/list:u]

Yes, syomuni_SP_2000_A.rmvb & syomuni_SP_2000_B.rmvb turned out to be the Spring special (in two parts) with the story about Y2K...the English subs, available here: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_6901.htm are for this special...I could never get them to synch...
syomuni_SP_forever.rmvb is, as suspected, Shomuni Forever...it has hardsubs, Chinese I think, but I have been unable to find English subs anywhere...

That makes sense. :victory:

@ runpup - thanks for the heads up. :jumpie:

Talk about pampered...(by Ikami, that is. :) )

Edit for clarification.

But the cat is just as much a part of it as any of the actors. If they did another one without the cat, it WOULDN'T be Shomuni :shakehead:

Currently DL season 1! :rolly:
Looking really forward watching this after reading all the promising J-dorama comments! :dancing:
ILll start working again after a two-year break next week and letLs just hope I wonLt end up in the basement after one week. :fingerscrossed:

I wasn't complaining about the cat! I like him! I was referring to the way he is totally babied by Ikami. :D

Ooh Esther, you're in for a treat. Believe the hype. :mrgreen:
Be sure you come back to this thread and let us know what you think when you start watching. :thumbsup:

And...good luck with your new job! :dancing:

Gomen K-chan :bow: I know you weren't complaining, I guess I need to do a better job of expressing myself :bonk: [/list:u] @ Esther, YES, enjoy the ride with Shomuni and good luck with your new job!!! :victory:

^ No worries, gaijinmark. I probably should've explained what I meant better. :D
