Great article Cheerful :) I will be sure to add some of these dramas to my list. My top favorites this year would…
You're welcome winnie (:
You know that I haven't seen neither Tonbi nor Woman. Slice of life isn't even close to my favorite genres and I hate touchy stories so yeah, I couldn't mention something I didn't watch^^
i didn't liked Kazoku Game, I think it's overrated if you added tonbi, woman, and saikou no rikon your list will…
I haven't seen Tonbi and Woman because I dislike touchy things but I do realize that the lovers of the "Slice of Life" genre would love it.
I also didn't watch Saikou no Rikon because by the time it got fully subbed, I made a pact of not watching any romantic comedies (:
Wow Cheer that's a very well-written article, great job! My favorites of the year would be Kurokouchi, Otenki…
Thanks Sunbae (:

I am nit in a rush to watch it no matter how much people say it's awesome. You know my hostory with Taiwnese dramas, I am barely recovering from Love Around and Just You. I am not ready to throw myself at another adventure any time soon :D
I am a bit focused on movies instead of dramas at the moment. Are you still watching movies?

I may give Major a try but I am not in the mood to handle something lengthy. I usually suck at long shows. But I will certainly keep it in mind when I am looking for another good sports anime.
Yes, Donnie can be amazing like that but you're wrong about something Sandrose, it's true that Tony and Anthony aren't martial artists but Dennis To who was picked for the prequel "Ip Man The Legend is born" is in fact a martial artist and a champion with many medals so he kind of outclass Donnie in that side. But his specialty is Wushu not Wing Chan. At any rate, he did great with role. Also Tony did well but the problem with "The Grandmaster" that they didn't focus on Ip Man story and did some side plots instead. Also Anthony was perfect for "Ip Man The Final Fight", I don't think that even Donnie can do better than him in that kind of plot because that movie was focused on Ip Man twilight years and the near end of his life.
At any rate, I didn't like Donnie's two movies the best because of Martial Arts, I know that Donnie did well by learning and all but I also liked them because of the solid plot. If they gave those kind of plots to Dennis then I am sure he would've been perfect with his martial arts skills and all. Tony did well but the plot wiped him out for quite some time and Anthony was awesome as "late years" Ip Man but the plot had some issues. All of them were great but Donnie got the best plots, I hope you get what I mean.

I saw Secret, it was slow sailing and not something fast. Maybe you picked the wrong movie? I think you can use some action and thriller (if you like those genres of course).
A freaking legend in HK, not only as an actor but also as a stunning director in martial arts movies.

You like "In a Good Way"? I heard a lot about that drama but I am not ready to watch any Taiwanese drama at the moment. And I also heard many people comparing it to Reply 1997 and Reply 1994.
I don't know if you watched R. 1997 but this second season is also good. I am sure you would like it if you enjoy friendship and youth stories.
Marry Him if You Dare? I heard about it but all of them were negative comments. Good luck with finishing it!

I saw Drunken ANgel which was pretty amazing and Rashomon (does that count?) I also downloaded Stray Dog and I will watch it soon. I have bunch of old noir movies that I really want to watch such as "Branded to Kill", it does seem interesting. It reminds me of the old noir Hollywood films that I seriously love.
Nah, Miike's most human movie is Harakiri Death of a Samurai but that's a remake, I don't know if it counts. Straw Shield was also good though, pretty touching at some point.
I watched Galileo XX, I liked it but not like the dramas and the other movie. Utsumi did so well but I want Yukawa sensei. I guess I will have to watch "A Midsummer's Equation" with my beloved Fukuyama and Kitamura Kazuki, I can't believe they're giving him such small roles in the dramas :(

I also liked the friendship more than romance in Love Shuffle. It's like Reply 1994, I also like the friendship way better than the romance.
Are you taking a break from dramaland Lumi?
