JDrama Recommendations

Hi Jon ,

I've tried the site and I encounter problems of downloading Miman City. Anyway thanks for the recommending the site and if ever you got around to watching it ,discuss it here.

Ja..

i don't know if the sale is islandwide but i went to the one at jurong point and it's 10% storewide...not that great a discount ,but better than nothing !
at the book fair (suntec city), i saw dramas going for $15 but dunno if it's TS or not..but the covers look like the same as the ones that TS have.

Strawberry on the shortcake is nice, at least better than Hero, if you want a heart-warming one choose Manatsu No Mery Christmas. At least it is better than Hero, really when i first bought it i thoght it is going o be nice, bt its kinda boring. and no love chemistry of takako and kimura so advised you don't buy hero if you don't trust my judgement

Thanks Blue,

I have already seen Manatsu no Merry Christmas.
Quite a nice show.I do have SOS and Hero on my hands now as well that I have bought sometime ago.

Yasuko

Hi minnasan,

I have just finish watching 'Hanamura Daisuke'
I would give the rates 8 out of 10.
It is a story about a lawyer who will use his
own ways and means to crack down cases,after he joins a big lawyer firm.
It was such a humourous and interesting drama,can't wait to see how he manage to solve these cases in each episodes.
Worth trying.Happy viewing.

Regards
Yasuko

O, liked this drama a lot!
HAhahahah, yah it's really farny!
light-hearted & humourous...
It's a gd take for those out there who hasnt watch it yet!
O, btw, Yasuko, there's a special for <hanamura daisuke>...e special isnt bad as well

May I know what TS means? I've bought a few VCDs but they are not of very good quality. Could you recommend good quality VCDs for Long Vacation and Love Generation? I'm trying to start a collection.

Thanks!

Konnichiwa, Minna-san!!!

well, i would highly recomand minna to watch
#1) Beautiful Life
#2) Itazura no Kiss
#3) Perfect Love

they're mixture of comedy, touching and romance, a MUST watch j-drama's!!! *^^*

I would recommand Aishiteiru to itte kure and Aoi Tori both starring Etsushi Toyogawa... both are really nice.
I think Etsushi Toyokawa is an excellent actor.

Hi Minnasan,

I have just finish watching 'Coach'.
It's touching and humourous.
It really awesome!
I can't stop to chase at each episodes.

An excellent drama.

Hi Minnasan,

I have started to watch Hero on the 1st disc.And I realise first half of the 2nd Episodes is not in Disc 1,it was not in Disc 2 either!
When I proceed to the 2nd Disc it was started at the 2half of the 2nd episodes .
Means beginning part of 2nd episodes is Missing!The first disc has only 57:00+ mins.
Whereas the 2nd disc has more then 1Hr running.
I bought the Rizun versions.

Has anyone comes across this problem?



Thanks
Regards
Yasuko

I have the Rizun version of Hero (the pic u see on the website).

2nd disc runs for 1:08:00+, it includes the full length of episode 2 and the beginning of episode 3. Looks normal to me?

Hi Genma,

You bought your Rizun at TS isn't it?And comes with a poster?

Well mine is also Rizun,but there are two versions of Rizun.One type with the globe logo and one is without.Mine is without.
My versions is the same selling in MJ.

May I know,what is your full length of time running for the 1st disc?
Mine is 57:00+ only 1 episodes is inculude.not the usual 1 and a half episodes.

Regards
Yasuko

yeah, i agree!! Perfect Love, Itazura na Kiss and Beautiful Life... but please watch according to the numbers listed (for those who loves Takako Tokiwa or Takuya)
1] Perfect Love
2] Beautiful Life
3] Itazura na Kiss

why? Perfect Love to give you a touch of comedy and romance and also prepare you for Beautiful Life, than Beautiful Life you'll get really.... and watch Itazura na Kiss to cheer you up!! hihi

harlo Yasuko,

Yup, my first disc has only the first episode (its abit longer than usual)

The second disc has the 2nd episode and part of the 3rd episode.

I bought mine (with poster) at a little shop at Woodlands MRT. And 3 hrs later I found the same thingy at another place, just $3 cheaper =b

And, yup, mine has the globe.

Hi Genma,
Thanks Genma ,no wonder mine has a problem.
Lucky thing you bought the versions that comes with the globe logo.
The same thingy is not the real rizun after I compare them .
And guess what,all the episodes in my versions ones,were recorded with different company.(Can see from the drama ,and code behind the vcd)Some were from yellow box(WS) type,some were from the GL(Globe)some with the word 'Video' appear at one corner,....(sigh)

At disc 5 & 6 it suddenly stops at some unfinish part and jumps to a new one.
Does not tally,finally makes me feel the drama some kind of boring I guess.

In this case Genma,do you think I can do an exchange with the shop I used to frequent?

Regards,
Yasuko
