Title: New dramas


andraia - January 27, 2009 01:57 PM (GMT)
I'm currently (or have recently finished) watching the following dramas. what do ppl think of them?

most of these can be watched on mysoju

Bloody Monday: police /mystery drama. [completed]
-The plot is well paced and there are a few twists here and there that I didn't see coming. I'd say the acting is so-so but the story is entertaining.

Akai Ito: high-school drama [airing]
-typical teenage drama. It's cute. This drama is currently airing in parallel with the movie release (of same name). I'd recommend watching the movie then the series. While the movie provides the general plot of the story, the series gives more in-depth details about the events in the movie.
I'm also currently reading 1 of the 5 novels which this is based off, and so far, story is completely different (so many kanji i don't know how to read T_T)

Innocent love: romance [completed]
-Love Horikata Maki. her character is cute and endearing. i don't like the main male character though. he gets on my nerves. but i want to know what happens in the end so i'm sticking with this.

Love Shuffle: romance [airing]
-4 couples decide to swich partners in a series of love experiments. woohoo swingers XD. So far,2 episodes have aired and since there aren't any subs yet, i watched this only understanding about 30% of the whole drama. But Tamaki Hiroshi (Nodame Cantabile) and Matsuda Shota (HanaDan) are in this drama, and that's reason enough for me =3

Mei-chan no Shitsuji: teenage romance [airing]
-this is light stuff. Feels somewhat similar to HanaKimi but this time with buttlers. MEh, I'm watching it for the eye candies: Mizushima Hiro (HanaKimi & Zettai Kareshi) & Sato Takeru (Bloody Monday). Currently airing

Ryuusei no Kizuna: curry, conmen, murder [completed]
-DISCLAIMER: after watching this series, i wanted to eat curry so bad >_< the craving is still here since i haven't eaten curry yet. Damn I want deer curry >_<
Anyways, plot is 3 siblings who are trying to track down their parents' murderer. Ninomiya Kazunari (arashi) and Nishikido Ryo (1 litre of tears) play the brothers. Nino's character is borderline sketch @ times lolol. Ryo'a role is so different from 1 litre, it's interesting.

Arifureta Kiseki: slice of life/romance [airing]
-a young man and young woman both stop a person from commiting suicide @ a train station. plot follows their story after this encounter. the pace is really slow and it's hard to tell where the story is going. but it's endearing for it's simplicity.
Nakama yukie is well-known for her role in gokusen. This is a complete character change and here she acts a more mature/down-to-earth woman than in gokusen
