Ok so this post as promised is going to be a list, a list of some of the dramas I have seen and what I think of them!
1st Shop of Coffee Prince - Damn just thinking of this Korean drama makes me happy and tingly inside. It's just so sweet and funny. If you've never heard of it then your life is currently meaningless, pointless, worthless etc you get my point? It's is the single best drama I have ever watched (twice now actually) and you should definitely go see it. If you want to know what it's about google it, same for where to watch it. *Rating 10/10*
Trick - A rather unusual funny Japanese drama. I quite liked it though at times it pissed me off. It's about this female magician (played by main actress in Gokusen) and male physicist who go about showing the tricks supposed real 'spiritualists' use. In the first episode or so its tells us how both characters have a strong disbelief in spiritualists. What is annoying is when in later episodes these same characters seem ready to believe these spiritualists when rational people with no experience can pick holes or see loopholes in their supposed spiritual powers. Apart from that it's good to help pass a boring afternoon, and better if you like mystery type shows (I do). There's also a trick 2 and 3. *Rating 6/10*
Kindaichi Shounen No Jikenbo 3 - Stars Matsumoto Jun (Of Gokusen, Hani Yori Dango, Kimi wa Petto, Bambino etc drama fame and the band Arashi) which I'm sure will be enough for many of you. He's quite young in this as it is a 2001 drama but he's simply cuter. Great mystery series loved every episode. Only one thing I didn't like! There are 9 episodes and a special, watched all nine episodes, loved the mysteries, really enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Jun's character and his female childhood friend so had great expectations for the special. Unfortunately after much confusion 10 minutes into the special I finally figured out even though all the actors where the same and there characters were similar to the episodes the relationships between the characters were completely different and unfortunately non-existent! So I suggest just watching the 9 episodes unless you'll die from prolonged Jun watching withdrawal. *Rating 9/10* (Discounts the SP)
That's all for now but I've seen many more dramas. For Dramas Part 2! you can expect my opinion on Hana Kimi (Japanese vs Taiwanese), Akihabara@Deep and ??????. I think it's good to have the odd surprise. So look forward to it!
