Twdramas were my first drama loves (Mars and Meteor Garden were my first and second drama, respectively) and you never forget your first love, do you?

That is why, much as I might love the slickness of kdrama and the understatedness of jdrama, few things will get me as giddy or emo as a well-done twdrama.

So, after I’ve done my Top Dozen Jdramas ( Read more... )

Apologies for turning this LJ into a Hana Yori Dango zone for the last week or two!

I can't watch Silence any more. I am crying too hard.

And I am only on episode 7.

Oh no. I am moving this weekend have discovered that my DSL service won't transfer until Ocotber 6. That's almost two weeks. I think I'll die of deprivation.
