I really want to write a proper post about Yakou Kanransha aka Ferris Wheel at Night but I don't have time. Let us just say it was thought provoking. I haven't seen quite this complex characters in a while and spent most episodes not quite sure what I felt about each of them. At times I wanted to smack someone and the next minute I felt really ( Read more... )

I've had dramadraughts before but never has the kdrama year been as piss poor as 2013 is turning out to be. There were many dramas that others seem to have thoroughly enjoyed but the premise of which I just found utterly 'meh'. Then there were all those I dropped after a few episodes for various reasons. Most of which had to do with crap scripts ( Read more... )

Tried the 1st episode of Incarnation of Money but gave up half way. I just couldn't get into it, something with it wasn't sitting right with me. I can't put my finger on what's wrong, maybe I'm not in the mood for that particular brand of angst right now but I'm going to give it a rest and try again later. Maybe ( Read more... )

I always ment to watch Keizoku 2 - SPEC but somehow never got round to it while it was airing. Then darkeyedwolf's post about the SP along with the hq version of the series appearing for dl around the same time reminded me finally to find time to watch it. SPEC is a sort of a remake/reboot of the Keizoku - Unsolved Cases drama from 1999, which I happened to ( Read more... )

J-dramas are often hit and miss for me. When they work, they work brilliantly and when they don't... well, they don't. LOL! K-dramas are by default my preference but there is one genre Japan does way better and that is slice-of-life. The kind that feels totally real. I just watched one during the past few days. One that left a permanent grin on my ( Read more... )

I just finished Yasashii Jikan and even if there was time to watch something else I didn't want to. It would have spoiled the mood. I still have this lingering feeling of wellbeing and warmth. Like a friendly fireplace fire. Just what I needed today.

Takuya Kimura, I remembered again why I love you. XD Just finished Long Vacation, 'nuff said. :) I may write something about it at some later point... or not. Let's just say I'm feeling GOOD!

Night!

Tiger & Dragon stayed true to form till the end. The tone got more serous but celebrating the silliness of life was never forgotten. The good, the bad and the ugly - it's all part of life. And sometimes you just have to grin and bear. Besides celebrating life T&D is an 'ode' to friendship and families. Both friends and families come in all sorts of ( Read more... )
