How much is your electric bill each month? My torrents are always slow, even when there are a much of seeders. I've followed online guides on how to set up BT programs and I still get slow downloads. I wonder if my ISP has something to do with it.



You could also try this one: http://community.livejournal.com/asian_doramas/ Scandal isn't there either yet, but it's always good to have more options Big Grin

Thanks, I had come across this community before, I noticed they upload a lot of raw material, so I thought scandal might have a better chanced of being uploaded there.

i just wtched the 1st 3 episodes and i'm hooked!
i don't know why it's not getting the attention it deserves, we have really interesting female characters, a suspenseful plot, and nice outfits!
i thought the casting was well done and well-acted out too.

it does have elements of desperate housewives - all 4 women are housewives, they seem normal and typical but each episode reveals a detail about them that makes them complex and how everyone's hiding something, the cheating husband and weird children, and also howthe 4 of them come together to solve the mystery of the 5th woman. however, the japanese are known for being brilliant at taking foreign things and making them japanese. there is obviously a big difference in aesthetics and how the story is told with the 2 dramas. fortunately for the 10-11 episode limit for japanese dramas, it is probably helping it to become not too outrageous or trying-too-hard-to-create-plot-twists like how desperate housewives went down.

one of my fav this season so far too. i hope the suspense and successful pacing\build-up in the drama continues for the rest of the series. Fingers crossed Mr Green

and nice outfits!

I noticed that too. It's one of the best dressed dramas I've seen. I did a little digging to see who was the costume designer and what other dramas she's worked on. It turned out to be one Fukuda Junko who also waved her magic wan in M no Higeki, Kirakira Kenshui, Bengoshi no Kuzu, Bewitched in Tokyo, Egao no Hosoku, and Beautiful Life to name a few. The official SCANDAL website actually lists what each of the four female characters wears inn each episode. Great reference if you've got an eye on fashion.
