omg woman. do you work? I'd pick 8 and backburner 4 for later.

[dangermousie]

I work, have a husband, baby and other hobbies. Hence 12 or even 6 is not feasible (maaaaybe I can do 4) but I have no idea what to drop!

OMG Yamada Tayuki! Pity that I am really not interested in historical dramas else I would check it out because he is such an underrated actor. I don't know if you've seen Crows Zero but he almost overshadows everyone in that entire movie haha. I guess I will probably check out Arakawa Under the Bridge which has an interesting premise.

“Arakawa Under the Bridge” is a story about Ichinomiya “Riku” Kou, a young upper-class man who tries to live a life without any debts to anyone, and a strange yet beautiful homeless girl called Nino who claims to be from the Venus. Unfortunately for him, he ends up owing his life to Nino and has no choice but to live with her under the bridge by the Arakawa river in order to follow his debt-free policy.In 2010, the manga was already made into an anime that spawned two seasons.The live-action movie of “Arakawa Under the Bridge” is scheduled to open in spring of 2012, but TBS already announced that we are also going to see a drama adaption airing in a midnight slot later this summer.

I am super excited about Arakawa because in addition to YT it also has Oguri Shun. I just might die.

(Though shockingly, neither Shun nor Takayuki, is the male lead. I disapprove, especially since YT is supposed to be in love with the heroine. Booooo!)

The period drama might not get any subs so I am trying not to get my hopes up. But YT is one of two jdrama actors who I will literally watch in anything (no, KimuTaku does not get that privilege, even :P) MatsuJun is the second.

[vert_gazon]

He is so magnetic it's crazy.

Omg just realized YT is named 4th in that drama and Oguri Shun third. What is this? And the lead is someone who I have never heard of or even remotely care about. I wonder if YT is possibly getting the sideline because of his past scandal? It seems like people are over that though but you never really know.

I've tried to find a recent jdrama to watch but no luck. I feel that right now more than ever, it's populated with no name idols turned into even worse actors.

[dangermousie]

What scandal? /is out of the jdrama loop.

Wolfie swears by Soredemo, Ikite Yuku and it does sound awesome.

OMG~

I don't know if I would be able to keep all those story lines in my head at once without exploding~

[dangermousie]

Heh, I barely manage :)

And here i can't decide if I want to try both Gyebaek and Princess's Man at once on top of WBDS (not counting City Hunter as it's almost finished, and Yi Zhi Mei subs are too irregular to really count as a regular claim on my time.)

[dangermousie]

I think you can wait with Gyebaek for a bit because it will be background stuff first.

[meganbmoore]

That's about what I figured. I'll probably wait until there's a bit more of Princess's Man to even start that one. The more romance-centric dramas work better for me in larger chunks.

[dangermousie]

PM subs are a bit slow anyway (as of now, first ep is about halfway subbed at DS) so I might wait anyway.

[thinking_lotus]

you can't but YOU WILL ;-)

[dangermousie]

LOLOLOL true. Sadly.
