Finished Liar Game II. Certainly not as good as the first series. The games where a little disappointing, especially in the first half. The first half also lacked the character interaction and mystery ...

I've finished the regular episodes of Keizoku (there's still the SP and movie to go). A very odd one this, the first 2/3rds are very similar to Trick where rather implausible mysteries are solved in a ...

Like a few people here, I'm watching Liar Game 2, very similar to the first one but with even less plot. It's pretty much just the games, which are just as mind-bending as the first series.

I'm al ...

I didn't cry because of the Yakuza stuff, obviously. They could've taken out the whole gangsta slant and instead focused on an ordinary bunch of misfits forced to help out in a nursing home, and the ...

I've just watched the last episode of Ninkyo Helper. The basic premise is dumb (a group of Yakuza work in an old folks' home) but it turned out to be one of the most involving and in sometimes intelli ...

BACK OT:

Watching Triangle:
I was so disappointed by this after the great first episode. The whole thing just descends into a complete mess.

Up to episode eight of Ninkyo Helper. Very impressiv ...

^^^Thanks to you all.

I'd love to watch a more serious/dark drama.

Some more darker doramas you could try:
Warui Yatsura
Kusenosu
Taju Jinkaku Tantei Psycho
Nemureru Mori
Kou Kou Kyoushi (all versions)
Kono yo n ...

I rather enjoyed Haikei Chichiue-Sama. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by Ninomiya, especially given his background. He was refreshingly subdued in which was, admittedly, a rather underwritten ro ...

Well, Kusanagi is also probably one of the best in Johnnys even! Smile

Well, the quality of the competition isn't that great Smile

. I was also impressed by Ninomiya Kazunari in Haikei, Chichiue-sama.

After a bit of a break, I've getting back into doramas. I'm half way through Ninkyo Helper. Considering it's got pretty dumb premise, a group of yakuza work in an old folk's home, it's really rather g ...

Good eye. Keizoku & Trick were both created and directed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko. He also directed Jigyaku no Uta (Happily Ever After) & 2LDK, H2, and he directed the series version of Sekai no ...

Finished Keizoku, plus the special and the movie. A very good series, good characters and very interesting stories....and when I say interesting, I should also say, sometimes, quite bizarre....someti ...

Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch many doramas lately as I've been on yet another Asian trip (this time China) plus there's also JLPT revision.

I've finally Finished Golden Bowl. Fantasti ...

I've just started watching doramas again after a bit of a break due to spending the best part of a month in SE Asia, and then working my way through the backlog new US season shows that I missed once ...

You JDrama experts are the perfect ones to ask.

I'd like to improve my Japanese by finding good models to emulate. I'm hoping that you can suggest dramas where the male leads communicate in a way t ...

Awesome!

It was. I've never seen so many motor scooters in my life, crossing the road in Vietnam is an adventure in itself.

Next stop Hong Kong.

After working hard for the last four days, I'm getting ready for a day looking around Hanoi.

Packing.

I'm flying off to Vietnam this evening. 16 hours in total with a 3 hour stop-over. Ugh.

Mine comes from my favourite comic of all time, Cerebus the Aardvark. It had 300 issues and is supposed to be the longest running comic book ever by one creative team in English, an extraordinary achi ...
