From the previews and whatnot, it looks to be really traumatic.

Yeah, abusive is quickly becoming one of my favorite new Jdrama adjectives. They love to toy with you, knowing you'll hang off their ridiculous character changes, no matter how much they piss you off.

But I'm enjoying it now. Something about the third epi clicked with me. I can't say I'm thoroughly into it, but at least now I can see some promise.

That's exactly what happened to me! The first couple episodes I'm thinking, "Where is this going?" But once I got a feel for it, I was along for the ride.

Actually the word "exploitative" is more telling.

I think I won't watch Episode 9 at all, save for the carry over from Episode 8... The last half will be like what we've seen in the first two episodes: Excess.

just watched first 3 eps of Change with Kimura Takuya....reminds me somewhat of souri to yobanaide but seems quite interesting

also bears remarkable similarities to the US primaries and in particular, a certain senator obama, hehe

Though Sae wouldn't be using a cell phone.

I've been plowing through so many mediocre shows lately I figured I had to take drastic measures. So I pulled out Second Chance and started it last night.

Even saddled with child actors, I figure you can't go wrong with a Misako Tanaka comedy.

Actually, she did quite a bit - text messaging

On topic: Next on the agenda is Saito San

True.

But in that pic, she has the phone to her ear... Unless that's a new way of texting that I was unaware of.

It's true, she did do a bunch of texting.. but I feel silly for not noticing that she had the handset to her ears..

I got started on Unfair a little while ago and now I can't stop.
I don't know why I never watched it before! So good!

Oh, I've also been keeping up with Zettai Kareshi.
It's really cute, a little different from the manga.
But that's ok. Mokomichi makes up for it.

I finished Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta Koto. It was very good. Thanks, cori. Now, what do I watch next? I'm actually thinking of a Taiwanese drama. I dunno.

STILL waiting for the subs for the special. But the subber has returned from wherever he was and promised to finish it... eventually. It's a great show though!

OT: Koshonin Ep. 3 & 4. Another good police drama Except I noticed I spelled it "Konoshin" when I authored it to DVD

I'm watching the first series.

It's really hit and miss with me. Some episodes are grand, and others I get bored...
