Using Dramas to Bond with the Locals

[wistfulmemory]

I've been busy watching dramas in the evenings when I get off of work and on Fridays when I'm free. I've managed to get through 3 dramas completely, have one episode left on another, and have just started a new one, so I decided to write about them.

First off, it's funny the reaction I get when I mention that I watch Asian dramas. The people here

Ahhhhhh!

Wonderful summaries. I never realized how hot Shota (tea guy) was until now. I mean, I thought he was the best looking guy in F4 other than Rui. I must try to watch some of these. I was especially interested in the last one, Nodame Cantibale.

A lot of people say that while Shota was good looking in the first HYD, something happened in the year in between the two seasons, and now's he's hot. I'm liking him even more than MatsuJun.

I highly recommend watching Coffee Prince, Hana Kimi (which, if you can make it through the first few episodes of heavy crack, is worth it, I think), and Nodame Cantibale.

Nodame Cantibale is love, and I'm waiting impatiently for my premium Megaupload account so that I can download this drama faster. It's based on a manga that's still going, and there's also now an anime and videos games based on it. It does a great job in keeping the manga qualities in the live action drama.
