This wek, I haven't seen any classic since I got distracted with newer Samurai movies and yes I saw Miike's remake today and I actually came to like it. The acting and the cinematography were amazing but Miike made it more dramatical so the original is better for me.

I downloaded the trilogy about a month ago; I will start watching it next week. I mean I have to!

I see what you mean; I also loved TWTWB ending; I thought it was fascinating even if many people hated it.
yup, the murderer didn't get caught and the statue of limitation was reached back in 2006.

Why in a month? Are you busy with work? I am not watching Marry Him if You Dare since I am staying away from romantic comedies but those who are watching it are liking it.

Yup, it ends tomorrow, I will be free of this drama. Like you, I am only watching because I want to know how it will end and I want it to end.

The remake deserves the try even if you saw the original; the actors did a great job in this even if Miike made it more dramatical than the original. However, he added some significant details and astonishing cinematography. Miike knows how to remake a movie.

So you only saw Seppuku out of the Japanese classics? I started my journey with Seven Samurai and ever since then I couldn't stop. I would recommend it but it's long (Three hours and a half) and if you want something shorter then Yojimbo. Do you only like Samurai movies out of Japanese classics?

Just watch Shaolin with him and Andy Lau although he plays an evil character and see if you won't like that guy.

I Hear Your Voice is on my black list not only because of the okder woman-younger man relationship but also because I passionately dislike the female lead. She's a serious blackie for me.

Kurokouchi is awesome! If you like Mystery/detective plots with so much events going on then I am sure you will like this. I just wish I waited until it ended before starting it.

I am in a dilemma about Saikou no Rikon, not only because of Eita but Ayano Go; he's one of my favorite actors but on the same time; I don't want to watch any romantic comedy for a long time so I think it will have to wait until I am in the right mood.

Oh, you're watching Vampire Prosecutor, What do you think of it?

Pleased to meet you too. I also like your profile, it's so colorfoul (:
Oh, and your completed list deserves the praise :D

Thanks Joe! I also like your new profile; it's really fun :D

Oui absolument Moon! Tu dois la commencer pour que l'on discute ensemble, c'est un drame excellent comme même.

Oui, c'est exactement cela donc ce n'est pas la peine de me questionner si je vais les regarder dans le future ou non :p

Qu'est ce que tu pense de la 2ème saison de Legal High. Est ce que c'est bon pour toi?

Do you like Samurai movies? If you do then you should watch Miike's 13 Assassins and Harakiri: Death of a Samurai.

When you get around watching it tell me if it's more of a thriller than an horror. I am quite okay with the first but I dislike the second. Oh, you usually watch on streaming? I always download and when they're movies, I usually buy them unless they're not available.

Btw, I watched memories of murder two days ago. You're right, it was a great crime thriller.

You mean historical Kdramas that are based on true events? My guess that you never saw a historical Japanese drama before?
Oh, btw I finished watching Miike's remake of Harakiri, it was more dramatic than the original with some additions but it does worth the try; I appreciated the acting and cinematography.

I am the same as you, I am watching Secrets but I don't love it the way everyone does. I just find it okay, once I finish it I am going to start Reply 1994 and that's about it. Have you seen Reply 1997?

I agree about Nail Shop Paris, it was so horrible. I gave it 3 and I forced myself to finish it because I don't drop dramas.

I also plan to watch Orange Days at some point but not now. I am not in a mood for light dramas even if I love the cast. What do you think of it?

I just noticed that you finished 350+ dramas, that's one of the highest numbers I saw here (:

Which means no drama or movies for you at home? It's bad :p

Oh, you recently finished Tiger and Dragon? What did you think of it? Was it really funny? I got that drama on my radar because of the main leads especially Nagase.

I have 5% doubt that he may not be her father or the writers will make it sound like that in the movie. If not, they better explain that he didn't know about her being his daughter.

Oh, don't remind me of that! I am so frustrated that we didn't get to watch the third season this year *sigh*

I will caught up in no time, you just have to wait for me Dreamy! Oh, you haven't seen Nagase in anything before? I also like Watabe in here.
Are you for real? It's like the first time where you complain that you're not watching many dramas LOL What gotten into you?!

Is that so? Then if you want to get started then start with "My Bratty Princess". You saw some Wuxia movies, right?

My guess that Bean Chaff of My Life a Kdrama? As long as it keeps you interested then I believe it did the trick (:

Nicholas Tse is a great charismatic actor although he's younger in age; I like his on-screen presence and obvious developments, he won the best actor's award last year I believe. Also, he's an awesome eyecandy :D

I don't really like older-young relationship especially if it's older female-younger male; I despise those the most but I can be relatively forgiven with the contrary.

Kurokouchi is my new drug LOL Although, I really love Legal High 2; Kurokouchi managed to get my full intention as well. Nagase is awesome as usual but I got to express my growing love for Watabe; I really like that actor and his character is even more mesmerising.

Woah, things seem more serious than I though. I hope things will get better soon at your end DA (:
So how have you been lately?

Sounds interesting altough, I am drifting away from other genres when it comes to Japanese classics; I prefer Samurai and Yakuza/noir themed ones.
Oh, you watch Kdramas as well?

You started to grow a lot of interest in HKC dramas/movies/actors; I think it's refreshing to check other possibilities. I am always here for recommendations if you need them? Shaolin was one of Andy's better recent works even if I didn't actually appreciate the concept. Also, there's Nicolas Tse in there! I don't know if you're familiar with the actor though.

Shao Qian's wife is really annoying but I understand why she does what she did, as for the second male lead, he's also very irritating at some point. I also loved the change of relationship between the main leads although I can't say it's new to me since I saw many types of relationships similar to those in Thai lakorns. However, the depth in Lau Hawick's acting owned it all. I happen to like dark romance more than light, fluffy or melodramatic one. Romance that starts with darkness, hate and revenge is weirdly my favorite LOL

I saw Memories of Murder and I really liked it. You thought the ending was great? Because the case was left unsolved?
I recommend I Saw The Devil, It's really great. Another genius work where Choi Min Shik is the main lead, I don't know if you like LBH though.
So what's on your radar these days? I believe you're a little busy to watch dramas.
