How Long Do you take to watch a japanese dorama??

If I like a dorama i can't stop myself from watching it nonstop. For example it took me less than a day to watch summer snow. And also, while doing trig homework I watched Salaryman Kintaro Seasons 3 & 4 each nonstop(different days). However most doramas i watch about 3 eps. a day.

It depends on how i'm getting it. If i'm downloading (via BT for example) it takes however long it takes for the whole series to be uploaded.
If I'm renting, same thing, as long as it takes for me to get the series from the store, depending on availability and how much i'm into the series. I finished Boku to Kanojo no Ikiru Michi in about 2-3 months, but I just finished Pride because I wasn't as into it.
If I own the box set, I take longer. For example, I've had the Yanpapa VCD set for a long time now, and I'm still only partway through it.

First I never start to watch anything until have complete series. Then I go full speed and watch as many as I can. I always start in the evening so I never get to see the whole series in one day. So always 2 days.

Right now I'm waiting for Long Vacation to leave my memory, so that I can watch it again. :D

at this rate i'm going it will take me two days to finsh manhattan love story.. ii dorama da.. it's so funny.. wonder how it will end..

Normally it takes me around 4 days. ;)

lol... that's funny!

i'm impressed... there seem to be more ppl who like to go throgh dramas like if they were a drug...... but i understand they're just soooo addicting!

stand up - 1 day
meteor garden - 2 days
autumn tale - 4 days ( because i had school at that time)
romance - 1 day
my love patzzi - 1 day
bright girl - 2 days
summer snow - 3 days

One day or more!
Saturday or Sunday!

i think that's why weekend mornings were invented.. to watch drama....

if the entire series is out, i watch the whole series within a few days

otherwise, i wait for the releases as they come out.

hohoho.. definitely agree.. now i always spend weekend mornings, in fact the whole day to watch dorama... is kinda addicting and u can't stop thinking of the show if you have not finished it.. :sweat:

latest: aisuru tame ni aisaretai, took me the whole one week to finish it.. cause i only watched 2 episodes per day.. hehehe.. can know the rating of the show by the rate i am watching...

..yeah a bunch of k-dramas that loose their flare in the middle or something... sometimes i'm just like "ah fukk it.. it's too long"... can't think of any jdoramas off the top of my head..(well aside from the obious ones that everyone hates :sweat: )

never tried watching k-dramas before, heard that some is quite good, but i find that is too long and too boring... did tried to watch one showing on tv, gave after 3 episodes. :shakehead:

obvious j-dorama that nobody can complete? i don't really think there is any, since generally j-dorama are really short.. :sweat:

me, just two days..

that's a big stereotype that manny ppl seem to have... WE MUST BREAK IT... its really not true.. and i used to think the same way...

..hmm.. let me think..hmm...j-drama that stopped watching...hmmm.. hang on ... there must be some.. give me a few days and i'll find one! HONEST! :sweat:

yea....you should watch winter sonata. i thought that was pretty good, even though i dont watch a lot of k dramas.
as for how long i take to watch a drama, i like to go at about one to two episodes a day. let it all sink in

For me I start off watching 2-3 episodes per week but when I get to the last 3 or 4 Epsiodes I usually am so interested I watch the rest in one sitting. Especially with Mukodono. It took me 5 weeks to watch the first 8 episodes and less than 4 hours to watch the next 4. :nut:

i dled gto a while ago, but it didnt work. needed a driver or something.. but i had the whole series dled, so i didnt want to delete it. 6 months later i formated, and suddenly, it worked! :D

yay i thought, then is started to watch ep 1, and i didnt stop till i had watched every ep. ;)

since i'm new to j-drama i think i need an applause for my extensive GTO watching. hehe

by the way. is this an all girl forum?! seems so from all the avatars...

I think most of the people with girl avatars... ARE GUYS..


dun dun dun...

and if I really like a series, I'll finish it in two days, time permitting. Otherwise, maybe a week to a week and a half. I watch episodes before I go to sleep.
