I just started Alice's Thorn and Border & they're both interesting, though border surprised me more. I'm looking forward to Odagiri Joe's River’s Edge Okawabata Tanteisha to be subbed aswell ;)

I think they are willing to take a risk of not appealing to the vast public for the sake of saying what they wanna say, let the artist do his art :P Kdramas are too obsessed with ratings & always end up depending on tropes while taiwanese... I'm speechless i feel its teenagers writing most of their idol dramas. Each country has its own charm but japanese speak to me most

It does look at the mystery genre in a unique way as in the suspects are the heros not the detectives. Japan is always willing to take a risk to tell their stories. As for Ayaka a lot of times I thought her mom was showing her weakness which prompted Ayaka to take it out on her. I understood her self loathing but I do think they took it to extremes.

lol yup I did!! I gotta say once I was past the half way point of the story it got me much more interested. It really is a human drama about complicated family relationship but I think they still kept an interesting mystery throughout. The acting on part of kids was well done. Ayaka was troubling most of the time, but I couldn't help but understand her even when I felt like beating her at times. The show make it a point that things start get better in her family once the parents start communicating better. Overall it had a nice message, well executed and acted. Oh and the ending song just rocked :P

3 I think but he's lead only in this one

I hope this gets subbed! I love Odagiri Joe but mostly this sounds like a cool series to follow ;)

Thx for the friend request :D I see you got a few of the currently airing japanese doramas on your watching list, have you seen them? which one do u like most?

LOOOL

I think Ninja Assassin was a joke of a movie. Nothing to do with him but the story, and the dialogs were too cheesy. The best most badass scene of the movie the the first scene, though its no good cuz it gives false expectations. I just couldn't take that movie seriously I was laughing most of the time while watching it at the movies :P

I'm not familiar with the writor & director but I LOVE the style here!! will check out all those shows you mentioned ;)

Oh I see, I visited a few cities in Japan within 2 weeks only :( I really wanna go back!!

Thanks for accepting my friend request :D So cool to live in Osaka, how do you like it? Do you prefer it over Tokyo?

I wouldn't mind if he's Eren :P But not Levi!!

I think its one movies that stay with you.

I really liked it!! I had it in my PTW list for a while I only knew that Eita was in it so I squeed at seeing Matsuda Ryuhei there specially right after watching Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benriken :D
I also liked the twist half way through the movie of "My neighbour's neighbour". Its not like I didn't see it coming but it had a nice build up to it.

i finally know where you got that awesome profile picture lool!!

I really miss Satoshi in dramas & glad to see Eita & Hikari there but I wish they weren't siblings :P

Tsumabuki Satoshi, Mitsushima Hikari & Eita in the SAME DORAMA?? MUST WATCH!!

Actually that WOULD be a good option! I can totally see him in that role. I don't know if I can see anyone else do it :P

I wonder who'll take Levi's role? He's just TOO COOL!!
