Singapore JDrama Fans Fall In!

Yup, I have to agree that Kekkon Dekinai Otoko is an awesome show. Love the subtle humour and the top notch acting, especially Abe Hiroshi. Definitely one of my top favourites in recent years.

The shows this season are pretty disappointing IMO. There's only a couple of shows that I'm really interested in watching till the end. :(

So far only a few responses to the gathering. Guess let's postpone it till after the exam period (for most) then setup one again. How's that?

Except for Proposal Daisakusen and Liar Game, which are the more interesting ones, I have to say that the rest you mentioned are just pretty average shows so far. They ain't really that bad though. It's just that I'm a little picky when it comes to choosing a good show to watch.

There also seems to be a lack of good male lead actors for this season's shows. Thankfully there's still Oda Yuji and Odagiri Joe for now.

eh.... Bambino! not nice meh .... i felt it's somethin like shota no sushi leh ... quite nice ......
Oda Yuji and Odagiri Joe ah ...... i neber watch Kaette kita jikou keisatsu Season 2 & Jodan Janai! =__=

hey all. this is my first time viewing this page even though im a singaporean. haha. good to see so many jdrama fans in singapore.

i must agree this season's dramas are really really good, though i've only started watching jdramas since dec2005.

i'm currently watching hotelier, proposal daisakusen, liar game and seito shokun. so far, proposal daisakusen and liar game are the two that really impressed me. seito shokun is rather normal. (i love masami!)

and hotelier's not bad too, but i can't really watch it properly, as im subbing the show, so i have to keep pausing, and typing the subtitles. haha.

n yes, im a big yui fan! <3<3

Not a fan of Matsumoto Jun and his crazy fan-girls so I'm not really too bothered with Bambino! I like the supporting cast though.

Anyway, I just finished watching a 10 year old drama called Odoru Daisousassen (Bayside Shakedown) and it was really great. If only such classic dramas are still being made today...

muz be a fan of Matsumoto Jun than e show will be nice meh zzzzzzz

it is e story tt's good .....

guess u didnt even watch 1 ep , so u juz think tt it's a show for crazy fan-girls

I did watch the first episode and it just seems to be pretty average. Not really the kind of story that would really interest me. The supporting cast is good though as I mentioned earlier.

Well, if you take out Matsumoto Jun from the show, no matter how good the story is, there probably wouldn't be as many people watching the show. It's really quite sad that nowadays, there's more and more people watching doramas more for their idols than for a quality story.

This season, I've just watch Proposal Daisakusen, Liar Game, Hanayome to Papa, Hotelier, among all this drama, I think Proposal Daisakusen is the most interesting 1. :)

Hanayome to Papa is not bad too, fun to watch =)
Liar Game is pretty interesting too.
Hotelier goes abit slow for me :|

I'll be watching Joudan Jyanai soon :|

Wow, so many new stuff. Been downloading Music Station shows recently. Btw, how much is Animax per month?

:D now then i know got a singaporean thread (I'm new to this forum n I dun explore forum much)! hiya!

Been on and off watching Jdorama since Hoshi no Kinka time. Never really got so into Jdorama until recently.
Anyway I'm watching Proposal Daisakusen and Liar Game too and I think they are the best 2 among this season.

Actually I got Hanayome no papa till episode 6 on my com. Just that I dun have much time to watch it. >.< Anyway it'll be on my to-watch list which also have Jikou Keisastu 2.

Dunno whether I will catch Bambino anot. Not really a Matsumoto Jun fan and the review seems erm.. bad?. Will see how it goes.

Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go? hmm may give it a try.

Anyway Liar Game episode 6 was great. Finally got me to think harder. The first few episodes was sorta predictable.

I have to quote this cos I also! =P I only watch J dramas on TV during early 2000 then die off cos VCDs here cost a lot and my PC is too slow for downloading of dramas etc.

And I found a cheap way to buy VCDs! Haha! So have watched a lot of backdated dramas of last 2 years.

Anyways, my targetted dramas are Liar Game and ProposDai since most of u say they are nice.

Seems like next season's dramas are more interesting. Esp HanaKimi. :mrgreen:

:D yah back then the vcds are really expensive. Now I'm also back watching those jdorama I missed.
I am anticipating HanaKimi too! Wonder how Pori-chan will fare in it.

So any nice drama to look forward to next season? please intro =)

Well check out the "upcoming drama's" thread. For me, it is just HanaKimi for now. Will see how it goes when the screening starts.

Lots of people seem to be really excited about Hana Kimi but such idol dramas don't really appeal to me. :bonk:

Am personally looking forward to:
- First Kiss (Good screenwriter and cast. Inoue Mao is a very promising young actress. No Johnny in this drama as well)

- Tantei Gakuen Q (Shida Mirai)

- Hotaru no Hikari (Ayase Haruka, Fujiki Naohito, Kuninaka Ryoko)

- Yamada Taro Monogatari (Watching mostly for Ninomiya Kazunari, since I enjoyed his last 2 dramas (Yasashii Jikan, Haikei, Chichiue-sama) and Letters from Iwo Jima. He's one of the rare few Johnny who can actually act.)

- Papa to Musume no Nanokakan (It's nice to see Yui Aragaki in a more challenging role.)

w00tz, Looking forward to Papa to Musume no Nanokakan and Hotaru no Hikari :rofl:
