Just finished Hanayome wa 16-sai! (Chinese-subs only)
Heartwarming story, good script, and gritty and moving performance from Tomosaka Rie makes this light-hearted drama a definite winner. The plot can seem rather predictable, but it was engaging throughout, and the messages it put across is encouraging and full of hope. I enjoyed it very much.
I didn't recognize Yamaguchi Sayaka at all until I looked the cast list. She was very pretty. So was Hinagata Akiko. I didn't know about her before. |

| Around 40 episode 5, and this drama has yet to hold my interest. I don't feel like continuing... |

| Just started Medaka. Even though I've only watched a few minutes, I think I am going to like it. I didn't know Mimura looked so kawaii, having only seen her in the profile pic of this site before. |

Heh, sometimes the profile pics don't do the actor/actress justice.  _________________

Just watched Medaka episode 3
This is even better than GTO and Gokusen IMO. I am completely won over by Mimura and the character of Medaka. Partly because she is just an ordinary person, but I could really feel that she's a special character even though the drama did not try to emphasize it very much. Probably would have never found this series without rec, very glad I did. ^^ |

What's nice is the story involves adults rather than a bunch of uppity, over-coiffed primadonna kids. _________________

LOL! Amen. I think Medaka was one of my fav school dramas. I especially adored Eita.  _________________

LOL, for a lawyer you're not particularly concise with your remarks.  _________________

Watched ep 1 of Edison no Haha The kid isn't interesting and Misaki Itoh has pretty much decided, "If I stand here and look pretty, maybe no one will notice that I can't act." I wonder how far I'll get with this one. |

Wow, I planned on watching that drama in the future, haha. Guess I won't any more.

Watched a few random episodes of Audrey that I have on video tape. I wish I recorded the whole series, but I was dumb.  _________________
