Just finished watching Nodame Cantabile,which was pretty good. I enjoyed the behind the scenes where Nishimura Masahiko (looks great with a full head of hair ) was the only one of the cast who admitted to reading the Manga before production of the drama.
Currently watching Gold, Shinzanmono & Second Virgin.

Now you need to check out SP1, SP2, and Movie 1, Movie 2.

^^ Finally got the 2 specials, they're coming up soon.
First 2 episodes of Tokujo Kabachi, looks like it'll be a bit cheesy but in a good way, Maki is sure looking grown up. Nice thing which I haven't seen before is at the end of the episodes they have translation notes where they go into more detail of certain words, phrases and other tidbits, thought it was a nice touch. _________________

Currently watching season 1 of both Code Blue and Fugoh Keiji. I've finished 3 episodes of each so far. Code Blue seems more interesting than Fugoh Keiji. _________________

Wait until you get to season 2 of Code Blue, that really blew away season one.
Episode 5 of Tokujo Kabashi, starting to turn into a good watch after a slowish start. Think next up is Hitotsu yane no shita, gonna be the oldest drama I've seen, think it's from 1992. _________________

I started to watch Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon. It's cheap, it's for kids and I am totally loving it! I am already at episode 20 or so and I started around 2 weeks ago.
SPEC episode 8 - totally whack but brilliant. I started to like Toda and I think she gives her best.
Guilty, for some reason (me having a masochistic streak most likely) I never dropped that show. But it SUCKS - the script is awful and I think Kanno and Tamaki agree with me, and kind of have given up investing in their characters. And man, Tamaki is sooooo ugly with his moustache, I can't stand him. And the stupid dog ... oh well I am the most stupid one for continuing watching.

Finished up Tokujo Kabachi, was getting so good towards the end was sorry to see it end, really liked Maki and her character, the way it ended set up a possible second season which I'd like to see.
PS- Is a drama rule where every 3rd or so drama has to star a member of Arashi? Seems as though so many of the newer ones seem to have at least one who has the starring role, not that they're bad, they're actually quite good, they just seem to be in so many of them. _________________

Just finished Code Blue season 1, and the special. Season 1 is pretty darn good. I like how the characters developed, especially Aizawa, how he bonded with his grandma. The special was ok. Not as good as the last handful of episodes, but still pretty descent. Overall, I give the season about an 8/10. _________________
Sankyu! I wasn't aware that it had so many fans amongst the Jdorama community.
I have, in the meantime, reached episode 32.
I also checked out episode 9 of SPEC - I was all blase about the special effects (wannabe Matrix etc) - but now I have to say that I find them quite brilliant. As expected:
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
the blood bath has begun in ep 8 and now 9 - I think we will see more in the final episode. Not sure if they will be able to answer my questions in just one episode ... at least I understood there would be 10 episodes but I could be mistaken.

Finished Ojiichan wa 25 Sai. It was well-made and the cast jelled to make it a fun series. Recommended if you are looking for something short and light.

Finished watching Fugoh Keiji season 1 and now I'm half way finished with Koishite Shinitai/To Heart. There were some good moments in Fugoh Keiji, but as much as I like Fukada Kyoko, it is a lame drama. Everything from the cheesy ending, to some pretty bad acting, to some terrible characters like Kyoko's grandpa. Koishite Shinitai's much better. The first 2 episodes are kinda annoying but afterwards it gets pretty good. I'm also starting on Code Blue 2. _________________

Episode 3 of Majo Saiban aka Witch Trial. Third time in the last year I've watched it, sort of went unnoticed during it's run only getting a 7+ rating but this is one intense court drama, somewhat like Liar Game as far as setting up the intensity. _________________

.... prepare more tissue for season 2
