My Top 10 Jdramas: a pushy, not-too-spoilery post

[dangermousie]

You know how I did a list for my favorite kdramas, here (even if it already has to be revised, seeing that The Legend is my fave kdrama ever, and actually my fave drama, period). Well, this is my Top 10 jdramas list.

Same rules apply: it’s all about which are my favorite jdramas? And why? Here is a Top 10 list, with reasons, vids, and pics. Note

You really do need to get the Gokusen Special watched. Just to make your Shinkumi shipping life complete.

I know! I should probably actually find it this week, seeing that I am going to be in-between dramas.

[meganbmoore]

I feel the "in between" thing. I am...appalling almost dramas-on-hand-less. I have 3 of the Japanese historicals on hand, but I tend to approach those almost 100% from a historical perspective(even when I know they take a lot of liberties) and that's not the kinda investment I feel like ATM(I have to be in exactly the right mood...)

ETA: Would you believe that I almost exactly guessed which CS icons you would take(one exception...)

[dangermousie]

Basically, I am almost done with 'beautiful days' and I have tons of dramas which are candidates for a big binge, but I want to finish various 'tail ends' of dramas I haven't finished yet (like Hyang Dan) and catch up on currently airing ones I am behind on (1 pound, Robbers).

[meganbmoore]

I will never understand how so many of you can watch multiple dramas at once...if I manage that(unless it's something really long that requires a break) it's how I know I'm probably not very involved in it.

[dangermousie]

For me, unless it's something I go absolutely incredibly rabid about (like Legend a week or so back), I usually alternate with a couple of dramas. Same with books. This said, I've been cutting down on that and doing the whole 'finish a binge' thing. Except for currently airing ones. I'd love to binge on Hong Gil Dong (which you are so going to love btw when you get to it) but can't as all eps aren't out. Same for 1 pound and Robbers. And then there are some I enjoy but like 'dozes' of.

I can stop a book to read a manga/comic/whatever, but can't read 2 novels at once. I can stop a series for a movie, but not to alternate series. If I try, I just want to get back to what I was originally on and tend to take it out on the poor new thing.

[dangermousie]

Oooh, what's the exception?

[meganbmoore]

The punch. Those of us who are short in RL should all have an icon like that.

[dangermousie]

LOL, I almost took it, but then I took this one instead and labelled it 'height difference' :)

[meganbmoore]

That icon is essentially my life..she looks half a second from pointing out he has longer legs and should slow down.

[dangermousie]

Heh. Sometimes when I walk with Mr. Mousie I am all 'slow down' and when he responds he isn't walking too fast, I am all 'I have short legs, need to make more steps, slow down!'

[meganbmoore]

That's me with my brother. As he's been taller since we were 12(him) and 15(me) you'd THINK he'd know better...Tall Cynical Boy(coworker) is better trained than him...
