Souka thanks you guys! I guess I'll skip it then! I haven't started watching Maou yet. I'm afraid it'll be sooo good I wont want to wait for at least one week after each episode Sweat And also, I've got quite a few dramas I need to watch. But I'll get there soon enough hopefully! Mr Green

well... unless you like YamaPi, then probably you'll like it.
but for me its bleh bleh bleh (i don't think its solely Yamapi's fault because he tried yet failed miserably)

He was so good in Nobuta, I thought he got the potential not to be wooden Sweat. How wrong was I Shake Head But the production team also made a waste out of a great plot. Bad lead + bad adaptation = utter waste

but Last Friends got good leads. there's androgynous Juri ♥
its good that i can smell it'll be a disaster in the end. Japan can never make up it's mind on taboo issues.. unless they make it into a movie.

Hm.. I'm not sure if we're allowed to ask.. but I was wondering of you guys could recommend me any good jdoramas about normal people in the work-force. I don't really want to watch any high school doramas. Thanks! Big Grin

You have come to the right place. Smile Umm, what kind of work force? There are so many of them...

Ohsama no Resutoran http://jdorama.com/drama.291.htm Restaurant
Odoru Daisousasen http://jdorama.com/drama.290.htm Police

Pretty much anyone should be able to enjoy these. Have a look.

as much as i like yamapi, i still can't bring myself to like kurosagi. I meant yamapi saved the drama [the rating for it was pretty good]. i'm pretty sure that without him, the drama would go down the drain.

though a lot of yamapi's fans seem to believe that the drama is superb~

i watched the movie too, it was just tiny lil bit better than the series...= v =

Only from a ratings standpoint.

normal people? hmmm...
how about the plight of office ladies. Anego is a fun watch with office politics and romance. Shomuni is a work related kind of drama but I can't say the characters are normal though.
Bambino! is ok too if you are interested in the workings of an Italian restaurant in Japan.

Yes, but then I wasn't really impressed by his acting in Proposal Daisakusen. bleh

By the way, why is he called Yamapi? Sweat

^ its a nickname given by Takki when he was still a cute little junior. he was always forced to wear pink clothes because he looked darn cute in it so Takki (he's like a Johnny's Jr leader back then) combined Yamashita and Pink together. Yeah.. I know about these stuff Sweat

After Kurosagi, I've sworn off from ever having hi-hopes on this guy and I didn't watch Prodai.

Heee souka.. Thanks! Mr Green

I liked the idea in proposal, and all in all it wasn't too bad.. It just wasn't very good either.

Wow.. thank you xploring, tofuuuuu, and stardope for you nice recommendations! I've heard of Bambino and Hataraki-man before, so I'll definitely check those out, as well as the other two tofuuuuu suggested and the older dramas that xploring suggested Wink

But I must warn you on Ban, the main character in Bambino. He may get on your nerves at the beginning of the series but hang on though.. he gets better. I only rated this an average score but its a nice drama nontheless, with delicious food.

giving a strong recommendation for golden bowl! Victory! Peace!

the story is nice and simple but the biggest draw for me was the banter between kaneshiro takeshiro and kuroki hitomi, among one of the strongest pairings i've seen to date.
