Hey, everyone! I hope you're having fun with the drama finishing challenge. We've watched a bunch of episodes! We've finished a few dramas! We are doing good for our first week, and that's even before we check in with people who've been squirreled away watching dramas on their own. :D ( Read more... )

1. How many episodes have you watched?
11.... wow....

2. What was your favorite of those episodes?
From Itazura no kiss.... I think the hospital eps :3 and from Hanazakari No Kimitachi E... I think I don't have one yet but i'm only at the 3rd ep so far :D

3. Do you have plans for what (other) dramas you're going to tackle in this challenge?
I was planning on watching some of the ones I have on DVD. Something I really like is watching them on my tv instead of my computer, dramas are internet-free time ^^;; but I'm realli liking HanaKimi so I might have to break that rule to watch the remake on my computer and scratch one of the planned ones xD

4. If you're feeling indecisive, would you like help choosing?
I think that will be fun too.... any rec? (Japanese only plz ><)

5. What are you struggling with in this challenge?
I'm not struggling... yet- I need to manage my time tho... because 12-16eps of 40-50mins :s ( ... )

Recs for you (and perhaps you've already seen them):
Aozora no Tamago, Bloody Monday 1+2, SPEC, Hana Yori Dango 1+2, Love Shuffle, Orange Days, Q10, Ryusei no Kizuna, Clone Baby, Liar Game 1+2, Otomen, Proposal Daisakusen ...I think I could go on for awhile xD

Itazura na Kiss and HanaKimi both are my favorites and definitely addicting to watch.

I used to be distracted by the way Korean sounds too, but I eventually got used to it, and it opened up a lot of drama viewing opportunities, so I'm happy about that.

I'm sorry for such a late reply >< I got short on procastination time.

I've already watched Aozora no tamago (d2 babiiiiieeeess and weirdo-please-marry-me AkutsuShin and Hide speakin in spanish and ñklhjjksjkljfkajflsdkfs), HDY 1-2-movie, and Otomen. I've hear donly good stuff about Bloody Monday and it's very tempting and I bought Q10 so now it has a rec I might turn it to my 4th dorama for this challenge, thank you!!! And yessss give me all the recs!!!1 Dramas are so prolific and many and usually i don't know where to starts so recs are always awesome :D

HanaKimi was just precious. Deifnitely turned into one of my favorites of all times.

Korean sounds too mcuh like chinese to me and it distracts me sooo muuuuuch >< but yes, i guess I should give them a go xDD <3

Hana Kimi was one of my very first dramas! And I still have never gotten over Nakatsu *points to icon*. ♥ It introduced me to the idea that dramas could be just a frentic and weird and hilarious as anime, I wasn't sure these things could translate so successfully to real life. XD

Something I really like is watching them on my tv instead of my computer, dramas are internet-free time ^^;;
I watch everything on m computer but that does sound really nice! It's so easy to be distracted otherwise~

Do you have a list somewhere of what you've already seen? :) Just based off Hana Kimi, my recs would Nodame Cantabile and My Boss My Hero, if you haven't seen them yet! ♥

Hana Kimi was my first drama too! (Unless you count Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, which was less about watching a drama and more that-weird-thing-my-friend-made-me-watch-but-it's-addicting-and-now-I-can't-stop.) I was reading the manga and when I found out there was a live-action adaptation, I had to check it out. Wasn't expecting it to be so random and weird, but that just made me love it more! :-D

I'm sorry for the oh so late reply >< RL got busy after I marathoned the rest of HanaKimi because I procastinated too much :'D

NAKATSU.

SO. MUCH. LOVE. I adored him <3 <3 <3. I think HanaKimi was marvelous and amazing and that's the kind of drama I looooooove. I laughed so much at it until it huuuurts. I'm definitely watching the remake, and even if I was told it doesn't beat the original one (I can totally understand that because the original was such an epic win), I really want to see Niishi Yukito as Nakao and Kiriyama Ren as Namba *_________*

Yessss, dramas are internet free xDDD Because internet invovles people and work, and I take dorama time as a time for estrictly enjoy myself. Being a working single mom doesn't have much self-centered time xD

I didn't! But I took your idea and made a post I'llcheck your recs, thank you very much!! <3 <3
