Watched first episode of Tomorrow yesterday (even writing that was fun to do! ), and not surprising it blows Code Blue out of the water.

LOL, unless you're expecting YamaPi to be anything other than a block of wood...

Finished Monster Parent ep 1 and now am on ep 2. It's not bad but I don't know if I "like" it or not. I don't know if I will be able to take the frustration of the good teachers and the horrible parents all season.

Hmmm. Being married to a school teacher, i'm either going to relate to this and love it, or not like it at all. But then again, it IS Yonekura Ryoko-chan!

PostPosted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 5:47 am Post subject: Such a drag. I'm down to my last couple of episodes of Muri na Renai http://jdorama.com/drama.1275.htm I've been watching Natsukawa Yui in movies for a very long time --the first movie I saw her in was Wana with Yamaguchi Tomoko back in the early '90s -- and I've always liked her. But in the last couple of years she's just found another gear. I thought she was fantastic in Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. But if anything, she's even better in Muri na Renai. "Kekkon" was the better show. "Muri" simply doesn't have the writing, or the completely rounded cast. But with help from her pal Suzuki Sawa, Natsukawa has simply put this show on her back and she's carrying it as if it were as light as a feather.

Damn. I loved her in Kekkon too (maybe her real name is Ryoko? ) and i've been wanting to see her in something else. This looks good!

Oh, it has Sakai Masaaki from Churasan in it! Wow. I Don't know if i can see him as anything other than the shamisen-playing Bun-chan

Bun-chan kawaii! I'd dance with him any day.

Time for bed, which means time for more Bara na nai Hanaya. I'm on episode 5 now.

Good luck with that. I thought that one was boring.

On topic: Gonna watch a Shiro drama.

Just watched the first episode of Monster Parent, and in the process of downloading the first episodes of Galileo and Beautiful Life.

Simply put, I did not like it. But, it's only the first episode, and I've learned my lessons about first episodes (or else I would've missed out on Nodame), so I'll watch a couple more episodes at least.

Thinking about trying out Maou soon, depending on if I get the time to download (that or I may just watch it streaming at work or something *shrug).

softsubs for the 2nd episode already released btw.

obviously, watching Maou episode 2 with subs.
I think somebody mentioned Ohno looks like a girl. Well he does. He's born pretty. God made them beautiful that way

Finished up Ep. 3 of Long Vacation last night. So far, I'm not a huge fan... feels a lot like Last Christmas.

I mean, it's watchable.. but the two stories that interest me (the "failed piano career" and the "aging model") are constantly being sidelined by forced love stories and cliche romantic awkwardness.

I really think sometimes these dramas suffer for trying to be too much involved in love stories at the expense of other, more nuanced and arguably more interesting, facets.

He's the titular lead in this drama. It's the old, can the wrinkly old man really find true love with the beautiful younger woman fairy tale.

But Sakai has done some serious aging since Churasan. I had a hard time placing him.

I say "titular" because this is really Yui's show.

My bet is... anyone who loved her in "Kekkon" will be over the moon about her in "Muri".

If you're watching the Tokyo Tower with Mokomichi Hayami, that's just a remake of a movie by the same name with Joe Odagiri. The dramas not bad, but Hayami is not (and probably never will be) Joe Odagiri. (IMHO You're better off watching the movie)

Souka? Yea maybe I should then, because after the second ep now I'm still not that into it. When is the film from? Because I've seen a film with Matsumoto Jun as well called Tokyo Tower. It's not the same, right?
