I'm not watching this but was curious about your review. true international have been around for decades and so are emails, but now we also have facetime, viber, tango... lol basically now dramas cannot use long distance as an excuse wtv the situation is with that drama :P

Love everything you added!! specially the .5 ratings and now we can see if someone wrote something in our feeds!! Really Great work!! Gotta agree with the app idea its something I've thought about since getting a smart phone :P But otherwise its all good ;) I wish MaAnimeList was similar (havent been on it for a while not) but I just like this site better :P

in the air plane :P but like I said 1 hour is too long for it. it should've been done in 5 min

More importantly than age.. will he be able to take on a role as complicated as Oda Nobunaga? And how is this character written? Thats my 2 worries but I guess I'd still check it out..

Didn't wanna spoil that for you when you mentioned childhood love interest since I knew you'll find out soon enough. A flower's life sure is short :(

I gotta agree with you about Nobunaga. I see him being fleshed out here more. He had a vision, and a plan he's following to attain it, and is willing to destroy anything that may come in the way. I still think he has a demonic side, but he also has more to him.

that was my impression of the first episode too!! They didn't spend too much time on childhood just enough to give us an idea of our hero's background and the times he was living. Eguchi Yosuke as Oda Nobunaga is terrific aswell ;)

He has more movies not mentioned in this list that seem interesting
2 I really want to watch is The Pavillion Salamandre & Tamio no shiawase (Then summer came) but I can't find anywhere :'(

Thanks for the friend request :D you got a cute avatar there & interesting profile ;) Do you watch anime? I can add a number of awesome characters from there ;) Gotta agree about Yamcha its a bummer he gets kinda ignored later on during the story :P

I think That Love Comes was more about the Art than anything else. The story was simple, short & i found it as sweet as a picture taken of a portrait on a nice sunny day.

I think the taiwanese is the best adaptation. Its everyone's. Fans might argue whether they like the newer japanese or korean version most but its no argument that the taiwanese was the best among them ;) The first Japanese version was maybe the worst. It was made too early (the manga was still ongoing) so it felt unfinished + the acting wasnt great. though for me i Love They KissAgain more not JUST because of the jealousy but because we see how the couple grow as individuals & as a couple. He starts expressing his emotions to not loose her because of his coldness & she starts understanding him before making conclusions.

3 episodes in and I still think the same as you did in episode 1. The bad guys are too comedic. I just wonder how they made it this far when it was soo easy to bring them down. I also think its dangerous to reveal yourself to the enemy and keep them alive, although it makes it easier to root for her. I'm enjoying this because and Odagiri Joe & I like Ueno Juri's acting. They have good chemistry together.

Not too sure about historical accuracy but gotta agree about Jong Dae! His character was the most interestng and got me hooked into what happens to him and he'll decide to do. Desperate to survive but not totally lost his humanity.

Me too!!! Seriously i feel like i'm being punished for not knowing the language. I appreciate the effort subbers put i just hope it EVENTUALLY get subbed. I dont get though those that sub but dont share. Like only share those that have a diary & all.. Well writing a diary just isn't my style :P

Anyone knows where I can watch this?

Well yea when I watched Mandate of Heaven (the one and only korean Sageuk I've seen) I got into reading about the current king of the era and the few ones after him. I really bad for them they live their life knowing they can be betrayed any moment and most don't get to age because they get killed by those around them. Thats a worse fate than being born into extreme poverty

Gou is the one with Ueno Juri. True that about historical objectivity. Historical dramas will never be objective, but they are useful because they do peak our interest in some historical figures and events, and if we wanna find out more we can do our own research. It doesn't work with korean dramas because they turn the character into the typical present day leads, and loose their charm to attract as and gain knowledge.
Even though Gunshi Kanbee is about Kuroda Kanbee, which I think Okada Junichi is going great playing the character, I'm more intrigued by Oda Nobunaga. Its not the first time I hear of him, but his presentation here is going deeper than usual. I think he's an interesting mix of tyrannical and mercy. He has great ambitions that makes him a good leader. I'm really bad at writing essay so I didn't study history but I always found it intriguing.

lool those kind of dealines make us procrastinate even more :P
As for the Taiga it feels like they want to tell us a historical event from a certain point of view in a more dramatized, romantised fashion which I always thought what historical dramas were all about. I heard that older korean dramas were also don this way, but now its more of a "losely based" type of drama, where they change the story to fit what would get more ratings, and that focus is my issue with korean dramas.
Right now I'm trying my first taiga, then I'd like to watch Yae no sakura, and if I enjoy the genre and picks my interest more then I might look into others too ;) How many taigas have you watched?

They subbed the first 7 episodes, I've been watching it whenever I'm in the mood. Its interesting and surprisingly entertaining while I feel that I'm learning more about japanese history. Thats why I decided that whenever I get the chance I'd watch Yae no Sakura cuz it seems like an interesting period ;) But yea.. that exam... I gotta start soon!!

I'm thinking of watching Shinigami-kun seems fun.. I think :P But dunno not too much into sports drama But there's a bunch of new japanese dramas I wanna watch but haven't been subbed yet :(

Well if I do its not going to be anytime soon.. I've got a bunch of dramas & movies that i'd prioritize more + I got this exam that need to pass for work purposes so I'll be studying for the next 2 months hence less time for drama watching :'(
I actually want to watch a historical dorama if I get the chance :P Either the current airing one (got a bunch of actors I like) or last year's yae no sakura.
