Very nice of you to counter my presumption, thanks.

So was "It's Japanese so there might not be a concrete choice at the end but the implication is she'll end up with Shinji" massively out?

Sweet! I'm so pleased for her - but enough to try watching it? oooh!

Don't try watching Well Intended Love then...

I was very pleased to see Hotarogusa on your list for strong females - Mother and anone are others with strong leads.

Informative and entertaining - thanks.

I'm out - bored and don't care for any of them.

Not sure about this one, first few episodes pulled me in, but the tone seems off and the characters are losing my interest.

Secret Garden was like that for me - I still can't believe I watched it all.

I'm right with you there - I mean I drop or put on hold more than I finish at the best of times but out of the lists set out in answer to your post I've finished EAW and 2521 - and I wasn't that bothered about either by the end.

You do know this a review site don't you?

I lost it when she had to be saved from the baseball, she was great then she was shoujo.

On Kocowa - so I'm watching it again in the right aspect ratio and good quality.
Because it's worth it!

All those rewards for bravery because she singlehandedly caught all those crims... Discus, eh? who knew?

I didn't give it a tremendous chance but in the 5 episodes I watched? Nope it got worse.

I actually quite enjoyed the first couple of episodes till the FLs dimness and inappropriate behaviour with her student became a NO. If he'd a been older I'd have probably enjoyed it.

Excellent review thanks

Another great advertisement for the NHS.

Well really enjoying the steady flow of 10/10 rated reviews for this drama both because of its illustration of the fervour of its fans and the fact that the score stubbornly refuses to rise. Perhaps whilst you are taking the time to defend Mr Bad and redress the damage the haters are doing to its score you could pop a review on a drama that you find average or even don't like? The ratings run from 1 to 10 so go wild!

If you go by the Viki ratings anything below 9 is a suspect drama - below 8 is Oh Dear! Which means all shows are pretty much rated out of 2 - either like it or don't. On MDL there is still a pretence of being a review and discussion site. I have watched hundreds of dramas over the years and I only rate 4? as 10/10 There are plenty I have watched umpty times with enjoyment that I rate well below that.
