I totally agree! It's perfect for people with ADHD personalities like me, hehe. I've tried a couple episodes of korean dramas, but i didn't want to get too sucked in and then have to watch a bajillion episodes in order to finish it, lol. I checked out your PTW list, I totally recommend Love Shuffle, 11 nin mo iru, and Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro.

good point, hehe. Maybe you should say "just pick one or none of them count" like my teacher in elementary school used to say about multiple choice tests. There were always those kids who wanted to circle two and justify why both could be the answer. Darn overachievers :p.

maybe you can make a post in the forum asking the same question you asked in your last tweet(re: one MDL feature). Well i realize it may not be "you" hehe, but you know what I mean. I am really curious to see what everyone would say.

hehe, I didn't think you liked JE idols, but I always include that bit when suggesting Quiz Show 1. Hope you're enjoying it :)

The Quiz Show with Sakurai Sho is good. It's actually the second season of the show. I think the first season is better, but you may not like it if you only like Johnny's idols.
I totally understand what you mean about Toda's character. I can't stand it when American shows do that. I don't even watch American TV. Even if I find one that I like, I know they will draw it out too long and ruin it. I hope the new Liar Game character is good. A little more savvy than Toda's, hehe.

Yay, which one? I am so excited about the new Liar Game movie and series. I'm having a hard time being patient, hehe.
I agree that this movie takes time to sink in, lol. When it was over, I sat stunned thinking "what was that?!!" It took a good 30 mins before I realized that I liked it, lol.
I actually think this movie is best watched alone or with a group of people who can watch it without saying anything (and there will definitely be times you'll want to say something, haha). It's an experience. Very odd, but worth it if you can handle it.
It's interesting. This type of critique of the justice system in cinema is common in the US, but I haven't seen another Japanese movie like it. It did leave me wondering how accurate the film is. Are these really the types of arguments and logic used in Japanese courts? If so, I think it definitely reflects some major differences between Japanese and US legal systems and cultures, particularly the process of determining "right" and "wrong" and how we justify certain behaviors. Overall, it's worth the watch. It may be a little too slow for some.
I just wanna second bennyost's review. The Quiz Show 1 is by far better than The Quiz Show 2. I watched the original first and was disappointed by the JE version. The Quiz Show 1 is more complex and had better performances.
Although I recommend watching QS1, you will be able to follow QS2 perfectly fine with out watching QS1.

No problem. I actually watched Bara No Nai Hanaya and At Home Dad because of your comments, hehe. My Girl and Dare Yori Mo Mama Wo Aisu are more like At Home Dad than Bara No Nai Hanaya, but they're all very similar :)

We do have similar taste. I'm gonna raid your drama list, hehehe. I've only seen one episode of Hikari to Tomo ni, but it's really good so far. I'm also watching The Tempest(Yukie ftw). Have you seen Don Quixote? It's a comedy about a social worker who works at a child welfare center.
This drama is pretty good, but the best things I can say so far are: 1) Kaneshiro Takeshi is so amazingly hot it makes me want to cry, lol, and 2)I wanna know what surgery/medicine/diet/etc Yukie uses because she's never ages.
