actually, the mountains are just an hr away. the east coast is all about MT's. just no swells. but actually, i can take the pounding surf anyday over non moving trees. (OUCH! :) )

What if it's part comedy, part drama, like Trick1/Trick2?

Oh wait, Yukie-chan. Never mind. Done in a day or two, right?? :hehe:

Ooops. I shoulda gave you a link to the correct page. Gomen.

Yeah, she does look completely different, especially compared to the kooky magician she plays in the Trick series. :)

why do you want to rewatch after a week? usually i rewatch it after 2~3 months for some good dramas.

Actually I'm doing the same thing for Bara no Jujika, particularly episodes 5, 6, 7 and 10 (the final). I plowed through it in a single week (some weks ago) because the story was warm, touching and shocking to watch and since the above episodes are the most critical ones, I decided to rent them again.

ah.. must have been expensive to re-rent and watch again.. For me, i buy the dramas.. and keep it till i want to watch it again..

Watched tengoku no kiss twice.. long love letter at least 3 times.. hotman twice :sweat: have piles of j-drama at home and still not willing to sell it.. :crazy2:
suprinsingly, i have watched fukaku mogure twice.. :mrgreen:

you people who finish a drama in just 1 day are crazy. i think it's better to spread it out - like if you're following a drama on tv that plays once a week, it'd take about 3 months to finish it. but those dramas that take the longest to watch also leave the longest lasting impressions. i've also been hooked on many dramas and finished in 2-3 days. i'd just get an empty feeling afterwards b/c there's nothing more to look forward to.
30 May 2004, 19:21 #34
Yeah I agree. i prefer to savour dramas I like slowly, probably 2 or 3 discs a week. If not, will have an emptiness feeling inside me after watching the drama. J dramas are relatively short with few episodes, so I guess have to watch it slow if it is to leave an impression.
31 May 2004, 18:07 #35
Ah.. i have to agree that sometimes it feels kinda empty, in fact a bit sad.. :mecry: but i just got hooked and it's a torture to keep thinking about it and not watching it.. :crazy: will not even be concentrating on my job..

That's why usually after 2-3 months or even longer, i will re-watched again.. :beaten: because my memory isn't that good, re-watching will the as interesting, and i will always "discover" something different :sweat:

Fastest time to complete the series, within 24 hrs :naughty:
Never watched any dramas that intensively (didn't have anything to do that time, may as well finish it, hehe). Watchin series at a fast pace isn't that good, you may forget the scenes pretty easily.
3 Jun 2004, 03:25 #37
it really depends on the series. recently i've finished otousan in about a week, the fastest i've ever finished a series. i was totally into that series. it usually take me months to finish even one.

Well, I finally copied the episodes onto my own tapes so there's no need for me to re-rent. :D
