Chiyo's husband is probably dumb enough to think he's in charge.(But we know better )

LOL.

First recorded case of being henpecked in Japan.

Episode 6 today.


Hmm, tha Nobunaga guy sure is a serious/bitter individual.

Must've been abused as a child.

Love this show more and more each week. Chiyo is just too cool.

Dang it, missed episode 7: We were celebrating after the UCLA game.

Is Maeda Toshiie in this dorama?

Did you check the Dramas listing for cast information?

Mostly a rhetorical question. He was a historical figure, and would have been in one or more of the scenes in this show, wouldn't he?

Possibly.

But there's no guarantees of historical accuracy when it comes to Taiga dramas.

I get a feeling that they're better than US movies in this regard.

Probably true, but then again, they cast Shingo Katori as Kondo Isami for "Shinsengumi" to bring in the fan girls. Shingo played as Isami as basically a nice guy. I've read a few books about the Shinsengumi, I can think of a lot of adjectives to describe Isami, and "nice guy" is nowhere on the list.

It's safe the say he has some "issues"

(That's a tactful way of saying, "He's f**king nuts!")

Kyoko Hasagawa made her first appearance last episode (#17) I didn't even know she was in this, Geezer is right, this is a freakin' all star show

HaseKyo also appears in episode 19. Only for a short time but that's enough for me. It's interesting to see her wearing traditional Japanese clothing.

You know, this drama is incorrectly listed here. It should be Komyo ga Tsuji. Just clarifying...that's all.

You know, I recently looked up "Koomyoo ga Tsuuji"(ah, for Hepburn) in my Japanese dictionary, and I got a very strange translation. Koomyoo is clever, while tsuuji is a bowel movement. So what's the English translation of the title of this dorama?

Well *that* is certainly wrong!

From my (limited) knowledge of the Kanji in the title credits, I believe a rough translation would be something like "Great Distinguishments are the Crossroads (of a life)"

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Also, Kagawa Teruyuki's character is listed as "Roppeita" but it should be "Rokuheita", I think. Wonder who to contact to get these fixed?

Is nobody watching this drama?

Well, I am(I guess that makes me a nobody ) I've been really impressed with Kamikawa as Kazutoyo, I had only seen him in Shiroi Kage, so I didn't know what to expect, but he's been very impressive
