Finished LADY Saigo no Hanzai. Very good police drama. Similar to Criminal Minds. Also through the first three episodes of Zenkai Girl. _________________

Finished yesterday watching "Shiawase ni Narou yo", though it wasn't anything great I still enjoyed it; I found Katori Shingo and Takahata Atsuko particularly good, while the rest of the cast did a decent job (with the exception of Naka Riisa, whom I found as incredibly annoying as she was in "Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo" - at least this hairstyle suited her better, but seriously...does she always "act" that way?... )
If we had the chance to give half points I'd give it 6.5, but since we can't, let's be generous, LOL: 7/10

Zettai Kareshi, finished episode 5, been an okay watch though the last episode wasn't all that great.
Also finished up 30 Haken Onna Ga Shuushoku Suru HouHou, good watch, some dramas you can get away without subs, this one though really needed them though, hard to follow when Yuki rambles on at a 1000 mph. _________________

Past halfway through the 1st season of "Boss", so far I liked the 1st and 6th ep., almost liked the 3rd, 4th and 5th, and really disliked the 2nd. I can't resist comparing it to "Unfair" (both being cop shows and both having a female lead) and so far imho "Boss" wins hands down (it has some refreshing funny moments, the main character is way better - not a female "Dirty Harry", but somebody with brains - and the plots are better. All imvho)

I'm halfway through JIN 2 and quite enjoying it. Osawa Takao must have cried buckets in this drama. On and off also watching Bull Doctor, and it's so good seeing Esumi Makiko on screen again, but she really deserves a much better script and co-stars. Meanwhile, liking the interaction between Mukai Osamu and Ueno Juri in Go. _________________

Been watching mostly kdramas again lately...
Finished "Greatest Love" aka Best Love and it was quite entertaining.
Spy Myung Wol starring Han Ye Seul is also looking pretty good. _________________

I'm starting Greatest Love with my Drama Club this weekend! We just finished Royal Family.
On the Jdrama side, I just finished Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and the first episode of Nobuta wo Produce. Also watching Ouran High School Host Club and Hana Kimi 2011.

I am watching Zettai Reido 2 - I didn't care much for the SP but I like the new pace of the second season. It's somewhat odd however that the police reorganise/merge a cold case team into a surveillance team but then again I have seen crazier things in real corporations.
A passing note on Kiritani Kenta, I am obsessed with him in the sense that I can't make up my mind if he's extremely ugly or quite handsome! Have spent a few dramas/movies trying to figure that out, but still can't tell. He's a good enough actor though and that's what matters.
So many dramas worth watching this season! They're spoiling us with it. XD
My favorite would be Soredemo Ikite Iku. Such a great human drama. Great acting, great dialogue, top quality stuff, but so underrated, it hurts!
2nd favorite, Zenkai Girl! I was apprehensive at first because I never considered Gakki a good actress but she's really likable in this as butt-kicking Wakaba.
Didn't think I would like Ikemen Desune and wasn't even planning on watching it, but I gave it a try and it's insanely cute. Really like the Teppan girl as Mio.
Don Quixote is also fun, though OTT. Arakawa Under The Bridge and Yusha Yoshihiko also awesomely unique and hilarious.
After such a long dry spell, why so many good dramas this season?? Not that I'm complaining, of course. XD

Hope you have fun with Greatest Love
I'm 7/7 with all Hong Sisters productions.
Anyway, started CITY HUNTER....
I thought its gonna be a true-to-manga City Hunter but its not.
However, I'm not complaining... I think this is one of the better revenge-thriller series I've seen so far... Cinematography is quite nice, directing and scripting seems quite good as well... _________________

Finished epi 6 of Bull Doctor. The person doing the subs translated one of the characters lines as "Now I am freed from my anguish." Unfortunately,those of us in the viewing audience can't say the same thing.

Finished up Zettai Kareshi, bit silly and so overboard at times but it was a fun drama, worth viewing though it'd be a tough one to watch multiple times.
Also finished up Sotsu Uta, shorter drama series from last year, that was a real solid watch especially for the other Masami fan here.
Currently doing a rewatch of Oishii Kankei, didn't like it the first time but the cast is just so good decided to give it another try, finished episode 6, certainly far from a winner but it's a tad better than the the first viewing, just a tad. And finally started Namida wo Fuite, up to episode 3 and enjoying it, Eguchi's character though is almost exactly the same as his one in Hitotsu Yane no Shita, it's not a bad thing just so alike. _________________

Hahaha. They should have just killed Goro's character off by episode 2. _________________
