													Interested to know how long do you take to finish a typical japanese drama??
 
for me.. sometimes I can finish it within a day, if the show is interesting enough...
 
Recently:
 
- Sore wa, tosuzen arashi no youni (Sudden storm) ~ 3 days
 
- Saimin (Hypnosis) ~ 2 days
 
- moto kare ~ 1 day
 
- tentai kansoku ~ 2 days ...
 
sometimes for shows that last more than 5 days, its not interesting to me la..    |  |

 Well... basically i do agree with the "marinate" thing.. realised that at the speed I am watching.. the show doesn't really give a "long lasting" impression....
  .. but then again.. sometimes i cannot wait lor..   that's why i don't like to watch dorama on the TV.. slow.. lots of CMs... and only once a week..

													actually, i got it mostly for her. to tell you the truth, we don't watch that much tv. mostly go out on the weekends and come back tired. winter time is best to watch (too cold to go out), but summertime weather is nice, good time to do things. 	  | lovelessemotion wrote: |  	  | niko....  -_-" ...... well i gues ur bussier than the avrage j-drama fan... why with full time work.. and kids and a wife and all.... so its understanable.... 
 but for me yeah.. one good day on the weekend...or 2.. when i stay home!... and i just relized that I WATCH NO AMERICAN TV AT ALL!!!.... the only thing i watch now is the news.. CNN man...lol... new and dramas... the occasional simpsons here and there....
 
 NIKO WATCH DRAMA MORE OFTEN!!!! .....why do heck do ya have such a huge collection when u don't watch it?.... and does ur wife also watch j-drama or nah?
