Oh, you didn't recongnize Tony in Red Cliff? What a shame; it's his most charismatic role ever!

If I have actors to warn you against that would be in dramas but in movies; I have no one I find horrible in HKC movies; if you find an actor with many movies then he's a good one.

No, actually I don't mind subtitles at all; I rather watch a subbed version than a dubbed one. I hope The Grand Tribe subtitles are all well.

What have you been watching lately?

Yes, the anime made me want to watch the drama but I've got to be in the right mood because I am far away from the romantic comedies mood.

Doubles is a 2013 drama but it finished airing (it's from the spring season), I just finished it and I found it good. Do you like detective dramas?

LOL, don't be so sure :p

I wish you saw the first season to ask you if the twist is the same or not. Anyhow, are you still looking for another drama?
I just finished Doubles-Futari no keiji myself and it was quite good. I don't mind episodic detective dramas anymore :p

I am already excited to start this one and I this week will be the date right after ep 9 and 10 are out. Great revenge plot? I will be looking forward to that!

I saw the anime but not the drama; have you seen it?

I recently finished Old Boy if you heard of it since I am in some sort of movies mood and I am finishing off couple of Taiwanese dramas. The top drama I am watching at the moment is a detective drama: Doubles-Futari no Keiji.

If they didn't turn the whole thing into incest from both sides, I would've rated this higher but that exact theme is highly against my ethics and I can't tolerate it. Other than that, everything was top-notch.

HKC dramas do fall behind in quality compared to Japanese and Korean dramas but I still watch their Wuxia and Martial Arts dramas when I am in the right mood. I think Sniper Standoff would be my last pick out of modern times.

I haven't seen Masquerade, is it dramatic or thriller? I mostly watch HKC movies but lately I decided to focus more on Korean thriller/suspense movies and Japanese classics as well as their gory movies.

It's not all about the actress you know, there are also producers who won't allow a young actress to shoot those scenes. That's why, it would be better to postpone it for another two years.

LOL, "it has caution please written all over it" :D

Double post.

Fujiwara usually plays the good guy but this time around he's the bad one.

They needed to have a second season but they could've also left it open like that and yes it was internationally successful but not in Japan.

They can never beat the Taiawenese version.

LOL, how come I knew that already? And I will try to Erin (:

Once again, it's not all abou the actress; Japanese dramas' producers would refuse to shoot a 17 year-old girl in a steamy scene.

That's what I've benn wondering about. But who knows, maybe the drama will be aired in two years.

Yes, that's what I was saying. It's not only about Mike Honda but also about the producers. I will try to keep up the good work LOL

But it is an old drama, right? Some people here consider dramas before 2005 "old" :D

It's not all about the actress; even producers wouldn't let a little girl portray that part.

I was sure you wouldn't be interested in ItaKiss Dior but I am glad you liked the films part :D

It's not only about the actress ability; it's the fact that Japanese dramas' producers won't allow a little girl to do steamy scenes if you understand what I mean.
