My curiousity goes to Manhattan Love Story.

I wonder :rolleyes: :rolleyes: if this dorama will be a love story (referring to the title) :crazy: or is it about beverages (coffee, etc) considering the official website shows many pictures of expresso. :hehe: :hehe:
(Check out : http://www.tbs.co.jp/manhattan/ )

My guess it will be "Antique" type of dorama , ne ?! :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2:

RPG (Role-Playing Game) is based on the book of the same name by Japanese author Miyuki Miyabe, whose Kasha is well-known to English-speaking audiences under the name All She Was Worth... damn wish they translated more Miyabe and less Haruki Murakami, but to each his own

Takuya Kimura & Yuko Takeuchi

Synopis ( from FUJI TV website ) :
Kimura is the captain and star player of an ice hockey team, who is greatly respected by his teammates. For him, hockey is serious business that fully occupies his mind, while he treats romance as if it were a game.

Yuko is a typical businesswoman, and is waiting for her boyfriend to return from studying architecture abroad. At this point in time however, he shows no sign of coming back. One day, Yuko's friends who are determined to find her a new boyfriend, invite her to watch an ice hockey game. There she sees Kimura for the first time.

After the game, Yuko and her friends join the players for a party celebrating their victory. Yuko, however, is not so excited to be there. When she leaves the party, she bumps into Kimura, who was slightly injured from a fight. They exchange e-mail addresses and part.

The sparks of mutual attraction are ignited in a second encounter between Yuko and Kimura, arranged with the help of her friends shortly after a party.

Sato has come as a replacement for the team's coach who has been hospitalized. Kimura has a lot of respect for the hospitalized coach. Unfortunately though, he can't stand Sato's way of doing things. Bringing with him a lot of coaching experience from overseas, Sato criticizes the former coach's strategies. Whenever Kimura and Sato see each other, they get into a quarrel—consequently influencing Kimura's behavior during games.

Seeing that his game ended in a brawl, Yuko visits Kimura to comfort him. But he tells her that she is being too friendly with him.

Yuko is hurt, Kimura is irritated, and his teammate Sakaguchi can't stand seeing Kimura like this....

Ha...ha...ha...

That's right bmw ;) ;)

I think Ryoko will play a beautiful witch, right ?!
Well since the English title of this TBS new series is "Bewitched In Tokyo" :muack:
But...why the leading man is Taizo Harada ?? :crazy:

(hhhhmmmm) : Ryoko & Taizo ??? Imagining..... :rolleyes: :D

[image][image]

Maybe because it's (might be) a comedy show, the producer put a comedian to accompany Ryoko. :sweat:

Hopefully this new dorama will be entertaining and hillarious.

Ohyeah, Maybe it's a remake from the original series in Hollywood ?!
I heard Nicole Kidman will also make the remake of "Bewitched", the movie version.

Wow,...talk about beautiful witches. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Sorry to get in the way of your Winter Season Dramas listing, but I'm so hyped about this new series I'm ready to bust. :hehe:

Yes, I have high hopes for this series as well. I've hear/read that a number of the shows will be adapted from the original series episodes, so it'll most defintiely be a comedy... :D Um, if the series isn't any good, we can always turn down the volume and just stare at Ryoko-chan. :hehe:

I heard Nicole Kidman will also make the remake of "Bewitched", the movie version.

So I've heard... I like Nicole, too. But Ryoko-chan is in another class. :hehe:

Fire Boys

(on FUJI TV)

Takayuki Yamada & Rina Uchiyama

Synopis ( from FUJI TV website ) :
Daigo has survived six months of hard training to become a firefighter. Right after his graduation ceremony, he rushes to Medaka-ga-oka High School, because he can't wait to tell Shizuka, his former homeroom teacher, that he has finally become a firefighter.

It was Shizuka who recommended that Daigo become a firefighter. When Daigo was still small, he was miraculously rescued from a disastrous fire. Since then, it had always been Daigo's dream to become a firefighter. However, in high school, he had forgotten all about his dream and had no idea of what he wanted to be when he grew up. That was when Shizuka reminded Daigo of his dream.

Daigo gets assigned to Medaka-ga-oka Fire Department, which is located in his hometown. He heads to work with great expectations, but what Daigo sees is far from what he had in mind. The Fire Chief Hajime Gomi, and the rest of the crew seem to be far too undisciplined for firefighters.

As a rookie firefighter, Daigo gets dispatched to put out fires at schools, houses, and save cats stuck on roofs. Working with Hajime and others, Daigo acquires the knowledge and skills necessary for the job. He also learns about teamwork and how difficult it is to save a person's life. Daigo's colleagues are the rookie Shiro, fire truck driver Mahiru, Mitsuru, Hikosuke, Hiroshi, and paramedic Jun. At first, Daigo acts alone without thinking, and is seen as a trouble-maker. However, his instincts as a firefighter are exceptionally sharp, and he soon gains the recognition of his fellow firefighters.

Fire is not the only thing challenging Daigo in this story. While he still has feelings for his first love Shizuka, Mahiru and Jun are also on his mind. Daigo's rival Shiro seems to be after these women too...

the fireboys and pride seem to be a very good story line...
