bring it on Winter 2012
hee~ okay... So I'm not yet finished with my fall drama line up. lol! XD
there's still: WataRen, Himitsu Chouhouin Erika, Sengyo Shufu Tantei, Runaway, NazoDi & Last Money...
still thinking hard on Nankyoku Tairiku. lol! XD
but I have already decided on which dramas to watch this winter... :D
DEFINITELY AT THE TOP OF MY MUST-WATCH LIST IS...
SHOKUZAI
I mean look at this casting...
Koizumi Kyoko, Aoi Yu, Koike Eiko, Ando Sakura, Ikewaki Chizuru, Moriyama Mirai, Mizuhashi Kenji, Kase Ryo, Hasegawa Tomoharu, Arai Hirofumi, Tanaka Tetsushi, Kimura Hazuki, Omata Erika, Kimura Manatsu, Kikuchi Asumi, Shibata Kyoka, Matsumoto Marika, Takada Shoko, Kuze Seika, Mizuhashi Kenji, Ikeda Narushi, Yokoyama Kota, Mizuki Kaoru, Shimada Kyusaku, Uchida Chika, Fujii Nanaka, Inowaki Kai, Suwa Taro, Takahashi Hitomi, Abe Sae, Uchikura Kenji, Yamamura Michi, Akahori Masaaki, Ito Ayumi, Tadano Miako
/ok so I bolded on the bias parts. XD and the fact that this is a drama from the novel of the same title written by the author of Kokuhaku. PLus, WOWOW dramas reputation of having been well-written... this is definitely a must-watch.
It wouldn't hurt my shipper heart for Aoi Yu and Moriyama Mirai to work together again...
they killed me on One million yen & the Nigamushi woman... (gif not mine, btw) and the ending was... *le sigh~*
and Aoi Yu and Kase Ryo... for the nth time. XD
So in no particular order... I'm gonna be looking after/watching these:
>Switch Girl!! Live-action
Its the typical cheesy shoujo manga romances that you can't help but love... and because I believe that this adaptation is faithful to the manga (haven't really gotten that far when I started it in my college days... but... ITS SOO EFFING CUUTE! I'm actually waiting for the 2nd episode to be uploaded. XD I actually want to do a review... but my knowledge of the manga is limited... all I know for sure is that both Mariya & Renn are doing a great job~ :3 Kudos to the cast and crew~
> Lucky Seven
the fact that it has Riisa-chan (my amyu-girl bias) in it already sealed the deal for me... I was hesistant at first since I'm kinda not feeling a detective drama as of now... lol! but whatever.. I changed my mind. XD I had like 2 other detective dramas in my winter line up anyway... XD Added bonuses here is that there's Nanako-sama & Eita in it. :D Sorry Jun-hime and your pretty self... and hourglass shaped torso. (Of course I will be watching Jun-hime and his pretty self and his hourglass-shaped torso.)XP
>Strawberry Night
the other detective drama that I'm planning to watch... the plot is very interesting and the SP was really good... and Takeuchi Yuko is here as well as Koide Keisuke so why not give it a go~ :D
> Shirato Osamu no Jikenbo
the third detective drama I will be watching because Amyubias' pets are here, (a term made bycrysta0917 when we were plotting out the Amyu-family tree. XD) Hongo Kanata and Chiba Yuudai who are publicly displaying their bromance on blogs... the plot sounds interesting too. XD
>Seinaru Kaibustutachi
I'm sure this drama is gonna make me cry. lol! XD I was hoping they'd continue Young Black Jack LA too~~ Okada Masaki in medical drama setting is always ♥ and Nakatani Miki is here~~~ plus Kato Ai looks gorgeous... age and japanese actors and actresses blend well. :D
>Suugaku♥ Joshi Gakuen
gonna watch Shakurada-shama conquer this harem fest of a school. :DDD although me and math don't match well... lol. plus its in japanese... Math in Dragon Zakura was such a headache for me already... and this one is gonna have an even more complicated math. XD Hoping for H!P fans to sub this. XD
> Fallen Angel
the plot sounds super interesting by the way (aside from Uehara Takuya being in it)... :DD
though I don't know if this will be uploaded somewhere... T^T
> Bunshin
It'll be taking over after Shokuzai.. so it'll start airing on February... I'm so excited to see this... because it seems like a challenging role for Macchan~ :3 Its a Keigo Higashino novel and shown on WOWOW~ and I think she'll be singing here as I saw some CD covers (in which she looks gorgeous by the way!)~ YAY! I want to hear her sing already~ *-*
AND OMG (I found out about this now. XD)!!! SHE'LL BE COVERING (?) CHIISANA KOI NO UTA & PRISONER OF LOVE?! HOMG!!!! *I'm even more excited*
hmm... I think that's it. lol! :D NOW, I'M FLAILING OVER BUNSHIN. XD
