Man, I'm so happy to hear that others are finding and enjoying Keizoku" It's one of my all time favorites.

for a police dorama, i was really quite pleasantly surprised by the enormous build-up of suspense in the latter part of the show - particularly a much slower and episodic start. i don't think any other police show (from any country) i've seen so far comes close to matching that feat. definitely deserves my recommendation if anyone's looking for mystery and suspense.

I'd say they need to do a sequel, but in reality they already did. It was called "Trick" Same director and writing team, and all the supporting players from Keizoku show up in Trick.

hehe, no wonder Trick seemed so similar to the first half of keizoku

busu no hitomi ep 3 done

Finished "Pride" last night. Kimura has definitely improved a lot in this dorama, and Takeunchi is still, for me, something of a goddess. I'm not usually into rock music between the use of Queen's soundtracks worked very well here. Highly recommended.

Ai Takabe and Tomoka Kurokawa, were in there, also in the new j-drama Teru Teru Ashita.

Just started on "Virgin Road". The only other dorama featuring Wakui Emi I've watched was "Ai no Uta". Wakui's character stole the scene in that dorama, and I'm looking forward to see how she does in "Virgin Road", now that she's the main character.

i finally finished the last three eps of Kimi wa petto.

Finished Jyoou no Kyoushitsu and started Kisarazu Cat's Eye. I enjoyed Jyoou no Kyoushitsu and it looks like Cat's Eye is going to be good. I wasn't sure about this one, but after seeing many good reviews, I decided to give it a chance. So far, I'm glad I did.

Cat's Eye...i happened to love it...i can't remember the last time there were so MANY funny actors in one show....not just one or two...the chemistry b/n the central characters is genuis....

Yup. They really look like they're having fun together. With the various silliness of even characters you see less than 5 minutes during an episode. Funny show.

I can't wait to watch more.

i haven't seen it yet, and i will probably take your word for it, and watch it..i hope the BT seeds are ok in d/l'ing

anyhow, would you say in humor, it would be similar to StandUp? but more offbeat humor? what would you compare it to?

[Shindou]

just finished densha otoko ep 6-7 - continuing on 8 now

Yeah, StandUp IMHO, is the closest thing to it. Even if I only watch an episode.

I think 1 or 2 actors were in StandUp too.
