Some reccs, a list of new music & a bit on jdramas

May 08, 2007 12:55

I read two wonderful fanfics recently:

Juunengo no Shiawase (Happiness Ten Years Later), is a really lovely Sapuri fic by nihongofrancais who is the biggest Sapuri fan I know. If you loved Sapuri, don't miss this fic.
Untitled Kurosagi fic by ilanabean42. She says it's unfinished, but it reads like it is and it's wonderful.

A music recc: icajoleu introduced me to Scottish band ( Read more... )

Why is Liar Game so short? It feels like there's never enough time to get into the game -- and considering that they spend twenty minutes on dramatic music and reaction shots of all the players in the room, that's sayin' something. XD

I have no idea. The only thing I know about this drama is that it's based on a manga, and I agree with you - they do spend soooo much time on the dramatic music/editing/reaction shots (endlessly with the larger group now)...I don't understand. The beginning of episode 2 seemed like a complete waste of time with Akiyama explaining his ruse - the episode picked up later and gave us some nice character moments. There needs to be more of that, and episode 3 was sorely lacking in character moments.

I really enjoy the drama but I hope that the next episode improves on what #3 fell down on.

God, YES. Akiyama is so long-winded for someone so hot. (Thank god some of those dramatic camera angles linger on his hot hot face.) But I guess the endless reaction shots make sense if they're following a manga....

Maybe if Akiyama took off his shirt.

I haven't watched episode four yet, but doesn't he already do that? ;)

I'm pretty sure he was bare-chested in the episode 4 preview...

...

This is what I get for not watching the previews. *__*

I suspect the shortness has to do with its timeslot - from 11:10 PM to midnight. So it loses like ten minutes over the regular drama. I think probably since it's a new timeslot, FujiTV is testing the waters, but maybe they'll extend it out eventually.

Ah, thank you! ... Japan, you're weird. XD
