Just finished Hanayome wa 16-sai! (Chinese-subs only)
Heartwarming story, good script, and gritty and moving performance from Tomosaka Rie makes this light-hearted drama a definite winner. The plot can seem rather predictable, but it was engaging throughout, and the messages it put across is encouraging and full of hope. I enjoyed it very much.
I didn't recognize Yamaguchi Sayaka at all until I looked the cast list. She was very pretty. So was Hinagata Akiko. I didn't know about her before.

Just started Medaka. Even though I've only watched a few minutes, I think I am going to like it. I didn't know Mimura looked so kawaii, having only seen her in the profile pic of this site before.

Heh, sometimes the profile pics don't do the actor/actress justice.

Just watched Medaka episode 3
This is even better than GTO and Gokusen IMO. I am completely won over by Mimura and the character of Medaka. Partly because she is just an ordinary person, but I could really feel that she's a special character even though the drama did not try to emphasize it very much. Probably would have never found this series without rec, very glad I did. ^^

What's nice is the story involves adults rather than a bunch of uppity, over-coiffed primadonna kids.

LOL, for a lawyer you're not particularly concise with your remarks.
Oh, I am when I need to be.
Besides.. I'm currently an unemployed lawyer. I haven't gotten any hours from my internship in 2 weeks.. borrowing more and more money from my family - it breaks my heart
Doing everything I can to find something - but these are pretty tough times. I'm going to every bar function and meeting. So far, I've gotten involved with the volunteer legal services committee and the young v. old lawyers softball game. I've gotten a few leads but nothing concrete yet, sadly. _________________

So we're not worth it?
Actually, I find some of my posts here are delightfully nuanced. Apparently, even if you're not worth it, I enjoy coming back and reading them myself
Of course you're worth it. I mean, come on.. I haven't even seen an episode of Pride in nearly 2 weeks (yeah.. still only watched the first 4) yet I'm still here posting tonight, right? _________________

Watched ep 1 of Edison no Haha The kid isn't interesting and Misaki Itoh has pretty much decided, "If I stand here and look pretty, maybe no one will notice that I can't act."

I wonder how far I'll get with this one.
Wow, I planned on watching that drama in the future, haha. Guess I won't any more.
