From 6 titles 3 are crime related...not mine genre.
Interesting why producers think that this genre is so popular.
Other 3 didnt sound interesting too:
vampire romance made by Japan,
weird pupil in Japanese school and
Japanese office staff with crushed career dreams.

Maybe I try vampires but i fear they try make story light and funny with alot of lame vampire jokes and cliches.At least i hope they dont shine like diamonds...

I had already marked down Innocent Steps on mine srteaming site and now this was last push to finally go and watch it. Despite littlebit non realistic timeframe and some stuff what happens in this movie if you just let it slide...its kinda good movie. I have seen some of MGY works and mostly i didnt like her acting but in this move she really gives 100%. Male lead actor is fiting choise and makes good role.Chemistry between leads is working well and this is main key why this movie gives so big impact despite all flaws.
I have seen Virgin Snow before, its only value to me is LJK acting, without it this movie where below average.I have already posted mine oppinion about this movie somewhere in forum.
Sadly Happily Ever Afterisnt mine cup of tea, i try avoid this kind japanese movies.

:D somehow you managed lose all point of this drama, ending was perfect fit. If there was so called sugarcoated "happy ending" it would damaged all what was done and told, all charm of this drama would fall just flat...

I understand what you mean but it is worth to watch bc of LJK. He really tries there save what is possible.

impossible!!!!! you can stream there without log in, like in dramacrazy or gooddrama. If you want use bookmark feature or other features beside streaming (like downloading) - then it asks log in.

Seems that this movie doesnt tell about time when Murasaki become Genjis love interest. Gengjis first love and his love of life was Lady Fujitsubo, who was one of kings ( Genji father) queens. Murasaki was then little kid, she was relative to and very same looking to Lady Fujitsubo who was looking similar to Genjis mother, whom Genji lost when he was very young. Movie covers only first part of Genji Monogatari.
Actualy i couldnt acsept Ikuta Tomas looks and acting style for this role, something was kinda off...he felt so average and i had very hard time to follow story bc all this fuzz about Genjis looks and charm wasnt justified.
There is one anime version of Genji Monogatary what actualy manages capture his magic : http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6130

Please listen tthis OP...do you like it?

p.s. one from mine fav list.

Today i had big fight with myself but finally i was able to stop myself watching more than one episode of Karamazov no Kyodai.
Orignal novel is superb, so i thought after reading article on homepage that...i just peek..a little, just to get hint in what key they have done it and climpse acting and...it was big mistake, really big.
This drama seems to be damn good...i dont want torture myself week by week waiting episodes to air. I want marathon it, sit day or two with sigaretes, coffee and snacks and watch it in one go.
So..today i had big fight with myself...but finally i was able to stop myself...

Yaiii, you are watching Star in My Heart <3
How you like it? How is acting? Do you like OST?

How it is to see "mr. Goodbye" in his young age? Story is typical if you watch it now but then it was fresh and new.
One reason why it is always best to start with older stuff and move up to today - you can see and track from where this or that clishe comes and how storytelling traditions have changed.

Maybe Devil Beside You gets mentioned when someone writes article about T-drama kisses :D

Meteor Garden and Wish To See You Again are T-dramas, so cant be listed here bc article is about is K-drama kisses

This is fanvideo, he/she used clips from various dramas with Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako:
http://mydramalist.com/korean-drama/1393/long-vacation
http://mydramalist.com/korean-drama/1396/love-generation
(both are good dramas) and some clips from
http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/6109/april-story
and added song (performed by Gigi Leung, The Luck for Two People)from
http://mydramalist.com/hong-kong-movie/1496/turn-left-turn-right
Outcome was really neat, it makes up new story. So i thought i share it with you. Maybe this fanvid makes you watch thous dramas and movies :P
Did i succeed?

in 2013 spring lineup i found 2 titles what i want see :
Shingeki no Kyojin and Vassalord.

Me too. Jung Woo just tries to stay honest with himself first time in his life and do all what he can to fight for his love, even when he knows that its kinda hopeless. He just dont want have any regrets later.

there is one drama like this: Bakeing King. First time i saw second lead geting girl and happy ending in one package.

Oh, thous brickwall kisses! How many dramas have got ruined by them, sigh. You just cant belive into this couples feelings anymore after seeing this happening.
Well and belivable performed kisses are part of good storytelling and role making. Most known have already mentioned here in article and comments. What i would add are:

Time Between Dog and Wolf, from sweet to wild to passionate

A Love to Kill, has few intence kisses, one of them is

Love Story in Harvard, has some fire in it

Article is well written, i have seen both, not mine favorites but i still can say that worth of watching. Somehow i like manga better and i would liked that in article there where third angle - manga, mentioned more. But maybe some day somebody writes article with this point of view.

There is news that Kimura Takuya won the "Best Male Leading Actor" from Television Drama Academy Awards for his role of Kindaichi Fumio in PRICELE$S (2012)
