Cheer

You must be in a bad mood since Yae no Sakura is ending. Maybe you should pick up another taiga drama from the same era. Like Ryoma Den.

That's why you should never ever ask me to encourage you because I cannot even encourage myself. I am such a lazy person :D

I also agree that you have to be in the right mood to watch a business drama. If you want to start off with something lighter than Fumo Chitai then you can always try Hanzawa Naoki first.

Whoa, it has been a very long time since I last took a break to watch western shows. I can hardly watch some Hollywood films nowadays. When I go back, I will have a big amount to catch up to :D What are the western series you're following?

I forgot that you're rewatching. Wow people who rewatch are really something! I only rewatch films when I feel like I almost forgot them but dramas? Never! I rather watch a new something instead :D

Coffee is what I usually drink but I drink tea too, only Earl Grey (:

I see you finished "Taiyo no Uta", how was it for you?

Nah that's not true! You've got nothing to lose. You will disappear anyway, right? I so, then you better disappear without any regrets in your heart.

No problem Suede (I don't know why but I can only call you with that name) :D

So, I am generally against mature scenes and I deleted many films from my PTW list when I knew they would have explicit sex scenes. However, if there's a stronger element beside those scenes and they're just some trival part of the story and they don't repeat a lot then everything is cool and I can handle them. DOA trilogy had disgusting mature scenes, that was my least favorite part of the film but there was action and other great moments. Ichi the Killer, well I can only say that the gore made it up for everything. Do you get my meaning? I don't want mature scenes to be the focus but I can handle them as side plots.

Now, why wouldn't I watch "Lust, Caution" (you're the fourth person who asked me this question btw)? I know that the film has explicit sex scenes, adultery maybe? I hate adultery so much but that doesn't seem to be the focus of the film. There's one reason only: Tony Leung. He's one of my all times favorite actors ever! And while I can handle some mature scenes, I certainly can't handle seeing one of my favorite actors doing them. I simply cannot see Tony in that type of role.

I hope that answered your question (:

And you get to decide my punishment too? Partners don't have the right to punish each other Dreamy! But just a question: what would my punishment be? Just for the record.

Yeah, I am well aware of the start and I will try not to lose my patience before the whole interesting thing starts.

Yes, I will absolutely watch Monster someday, it got a lot of praise from many people who share my love for the psychological genre.

I would've been also pissed if I was in your place but if they're soft subs then you could adjust the sync. No?

About TW films, yeah even their films aren't that great especially for the genre you like. Only few of them would stand out for you.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun wasn't good, I think the only thing I liked about that anime was the way Haru pronounces "Shizuku's" name. Oh, and the 13 episodes length.

Hanasakeru Seishounen was a reverse Harem and I usually hate those animes from the bottom of my heart. Think about a girl who can't make up her mind between four boys and she feels like she likes each and everyone of them. I would lose my mind if this becomes a drama LOL

Nice article btw (:

Comments not reviews.

They come from the same makers but they're not related in any way except that they have the same male lead and they're both considered musicals but that's about it. Their plots don't connect at any point.

I've only seen The Terror Live from this list and I really liked it. A Better Tomorrow is the Korean remake of John Woo's film so I doubt if I will ever watch it because I am afraid that Koreans would ruin the outstanding piece of work John Woo and Tsui Hark did together.

Of course I would like her character and peformance, I already like that actress from a very long time ago so it's only a given :p

I was aso scared that I would completely hate Death Note but I was wrong, it wasn't as horrible as the anime and manga fans described it to be. And I absolutely loved the actor playing L :D

Apparently you like historical dramas from any country, right Miri?
I hope when the subbers will pick up Gunshi Kanbei when they finish Yae no Sakura. This is my last hope :(

Oshin taiga drama? Is it very long?

I finished OD some time ago and I really liked although I thought it wouldn't suit my taste at all. What are you currently watching?

Yes, after watching too many dramas some interest will fly away. Having almost reached 200 dramas, I am slowing down my drama watching to its lowest level. I can't handle more than 1 or 2 dramas at the same time and I am also staying away from currently airing dramas for some reason that I don't know what is it :D

To tell the truth, Beyond the Clouds does have a very similar cinematography to Secret Love and Innocent Man but I want the comparison to stop right there, I would really love that the melodramatic pattern will be completely different.

Jewel of the Palace can handle a sequel but it has to be greatly written and it's been confirmed that it won't be the same screenwriter but it will be the same female lead. Frankly, I can't handle a long sageuk anymore so if I didn't watch Jewel of the Palace when I first got to know Kdramas then I wouldn't have gave it a chance at the moment. And you're right, MBC is totally doing this for the popularity that Jewel of the Palace got worldwide. It selled in over 90 countries including mine :D

The alien drama is way easier :D but I always call it Man from the Stars (MFTS). And in one episode he was called "perverted alien" :D Anyway, I am sure if you didn't like it until epsiode 6 then I doubt if it will ever get better for you. And yes there was Starman in the summer season, I didn't watch it and I am glad I haven't.

One more reason to hate me for disliking Coffee Prince, I actually watched that drama 2 or 3 years ago when I was so freaking open with all genres and not picky about what to watch so if I saw it recently then I would've changed the 6 to 4 or 5 :D I think many people recommended it to me and it was such a hit especially since I used to really love the gender bender theme but then, I felt like I was cheated or something :p I liked some part of it but overall, it was only alright.

Aren't you watching any drama beside INR3 at the moment?

At first, I was a little scared away to try the live adaptation of Death Note because the anime was great and from the comments of those who've seen both the drama and anime, I thought it would be horrible but it actually wasn't.

I watched Nine while it was still airing so you can only guess how excited I was and how painful waiting for the next episode felt like. Sun Woo is one of my favorite characters ever! I just love cool and super smart male leads and the actor was also great.

You're better than me LOL! I am still scared to clean up my HD especially the films; I will watch them anyway but not now :D Was there any film that actually caught your attention from the "unwanted list"?

About the comedy, I love the Japanese sense of humor no matter how it's desplayed. Like Yusha, Hana Kimi, Mahoro Ekimae and many other types. As long as it's made in Japan then it's all good, I guess it comes out from my early exposure to anime and so on. That's why Korean and Chinese comedy can be a hit or a miss for me.

And Oguri, I am sure it's because he reminds you of someone in real life :D It's your eraly judgement on the real life character that you came to dislike Oguri. I will absolutely watch Kisaragi when I have the chance.

Oh why not? You never know what will happen until you try Yanku. It's unfair to yourself to give up without a single try.

I was scared off to watch the live adaptation of Death Note but it was cool, not like the fan of the anime and manga decribed it to be like.

Monster is something I want to watch and many friends already recommended it to me. but I have to be in the right mood that I never know when it will ever come. I am always on and off animes and it's hard to keep commitment for a long anime; I am a bit weird like that.

Tell me what did you think of 3 idiots; it's one of the best comedies made in Bollywood. And about MARS, you may want to keep your expectations a little lower. You're obviously not familiar with Taiwanese dramas and they're totally different from Korean and Japanese dramas.

Oh no don't worry about it. I know someone who's married with a woman who's 7 years older than him but they're one of the most happiest couples I ever know. I see it as a normal thing actually because you never know who's the person that's going to own your heart (:
