I agree with everything you said!! I think we might have similar taste :P

Nine was awesome!! it is slow to get hooked in the beginning but once you get passed episode 4-5 it gets intense all the way to the end and the execution of the supernatural element was spot on. Yamada-kun to 7 nin no Majo was plain entertainment. Its easy and fun to watch!! The rest of the shows I found I didn't watch, but found many of them to be over-rated (specially gu family book... when i read about the ending I couldn't believe it)

yup but what I was saying was what attracted them to each other is the past they miss and regret, not what the other has become. 1 thing I always wonder is how could mok dan fall for the guy who tortured her I would never forget that no matter who he turns out to be!!
I'm not bashing the show its the opposite I love it just saying but their love story isn't my fave :P

I agree with you about Dok Mi!!! Not so much about Mok Dan for 2 reasons 1st her character was kinda boring had nothing to contemplate + was used boringly & 2nd I think the actrice wasnt doing a great job portraying her. She had good reasons to this & that and made smart decisions at times too but just the character had more potential.

I can't agree with you about Dok Mi I really loved her character and think it was very well thought out. She is as Enrique describes her & I guess i watched her in a period in my life where I was feeling the same as she did and could relate to her.

Well i think he loves her for their past history cuz he didnt seem to be interested in her until he found out :S

Gotta agree about being far too technical :P its still fun to read from a different point of view and he sometimes reviews shows that I wouldn't think about watching or wouldn't know about cuz they're really old but like you call them gems!

I got the same feeling since I didn't watch half of whats on the list + some doramas like tonbi where i ready many good things and Karamazov no Kyodai that i never got to watch it... but then again many people who voted here had only seen 2 dramas from the list so I guess its all fair after all :P

That role suited him very much!! I think he really enjoys doing those types of roles, specially in Kurokouchi I feel that he's having so much fun lool :P

I just looked her up and I think I've read her blog before but thats interesting I'll look up when she has to say on the doramas I've watched.. too bad her last post was early 2012:(

hey!! well unfortunately there aren't many for japanese dramas but I follow http://hamsapsukebe.blogspot.ca/ I like the way he critics shows and movies even if i find him too picky but he makes good points ;)
For korean its Koala's playground & dramabeans which are pretty famous :P

I'd say most of the list is a big waste of talent... that was really hard to vote on :P

Thats why reading blogs about drama reviews & their comments is more fun!! You get to see the reasoning of different people's preferences.

It was MY best overall drama (talking about Saikou no Rikon) Cuz while it had comedy and romance, it was really about slice of life and about how different people trying to get along and live together... And the acting was top notch specially Eita (though at this point not surprising)

well I think I get what you mean... just that so many good jdoramas were
skipped by viewers specially here in MDL.

wow lotsa "Last Cinderella" fans here... I feel the voting is very... bias though I guess that is the point of it :P but my votes were most unpopular :P

If you're familiar with detective mystery mangas of mangaka Naoki urasawa u'll like this one because it is based on a mango written by "Takashi Nagasaki" who is famous for writing & co-writing many of this mangaka's mangas!!
