I liked the first season better but it's still fun.

Story is very predictable but its a nice welcome change from Triangle |
Watched episode 9 last night - I quite enjoy this. 
I'll start Koi no Chikara tonight.

Nagasawa Masami and Horikita Maki are cute and all that but they're just so painful to watch

That statement almost contradicts itself.

The only thing I've seen Horikita in that I thought she did a good job in was the movie Always Sunset on 3rd Street other than that, not real impressed. OT: Up thru epi 4 of Watashitachi no Kyokasho Did some checking, found out Miho Kanno got a Best Actress award for this, and deservedly so IMHO.

I try to limit myself to one episode of drama per day at the moment. The weather is getting better and I have a staple of books to read. |
I finished watching Triangle. I found it disappointing. Maybe it's just because my expectations were too high (it sounded great from the descriptions!). Every episode they always kept repeating "Live your own life" fifty million times. I think we could get the picture even if they didn't keep saying it! And I was able to figure out who the murderer was easily.
I watched the first two episodes of Top Sales last night and they were really good! I loooove Natsukawa Yui. She has been so great in every role I've seen her in.

Yep, yep.
That's my style too.
Too many dramas and not enough time to watch any I dont like.....
But if I watch even 5 out of 10 I feel it was pretty good. That is still 5 hours it held me.

At first, it seemed like a boring series but after a while the caharacters seemd to have grown on me... Tehre are parts I just kinda fast forward thourhg - like the email monologues but over all, its quite nice... slow but nice... |
For me one of the best things about Arifureta Kiseki is the slowness, it adds to the general melancholic feeling of the show, and when something does happen then it's even more shocking. Talking of which, the shared secret of two of characters just me open jawed, I couldn't quiet take in what I was seeing. It just seemed so out of place. But I'm enjoying it immensely, it's a refreshing change the the fast paced dramas I seem to have been watching lately.
Talking of fast paced dramas, I too have just started Triangle. It gets 1 out of 10 in terms of originality, but it's watchable in a mindless sort of way and keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I think Fumiyo Kohinata must be the hardest working man in Japanese drama. It would be so much better if Eguchi Yosuke didn't look quite so pleased with himself all of the time.

Still working on Top Sales & Innocent Love
With Top Sales I find myself rewinding every now and then to try to pick up on something I missed, or misunderstood.
With Innocent Love I pretty much keep the finger pressed firmly on the FF button and wait for the comatose - yet flawless -- La Uchida to make her weekly appearance.
