though I was guilty of giving all 10s at the very start of my career- see the princess man. I wouldn;t do it now, princess man does not deserve a 10 mark but it was still a drams where i could find enjoyable things- i really was taken with it when i first came to MDL, but a lot of things have changed since then, I watched more ambitious dramas and thise dramas that are somehow "different" cast a different light on all others. But I still can't pin down what is it, that "different thing" because then these things pile up, there will always be something better and worse than something else. It is like it with everything- that;s why reading, rereading and watching and rewatching can be very rewarding. Do you reread your books and rewatch dramas? How do you find them then?

Yes I treat dramas and drama watching quite seriously actually, I like to think I "study" them lol. I like how you;re thinking, Compay. I generally try to do justice to dramas even if I think I don't like them. But you know, the paradoxical thing is..the dramas I thought I like (not all, but some) lose their charm to me after a while. In turn, in dramas that I didn't like I can sometimes things that do make me change my mind. Liking a drama is quiote complext at the end of the day lol. Yes, once I have a more holistic perception of dramas, I do get more critical, I notice the annoying things that I idn't before. But I try to go against them. and if I manage to find the good points, like I think I just have with Rich Man,m poor woma. then it means the drama actually had that potential for likeability for me. I don't think there is any drama that actually warrants 10s in all aspects.

I can't seem to be able to leave :D there is always something that I return for loool :D I;m a total addict or what? awww don't cry such a niagara falls of tears,Handsome.
I liked the special more than the drama itself- I wish the drama had more about Asahina/Hyuga and the whole IT buisness thing, it could have gone more into developing this theme.

Oh I am, it has this old-fashioned feel to it. That and Yukata is one of the best romantic leads. Besides the story is a bit like You;ve got mail- I love You've got mail. But Mawang was unlike anything I ever watched in korean dramas, it taolly blew me out of this planet lol. You;re a very experienced drama watcher then, Senpai/Sunbae :D

Riki was my fave tooo wahhhhh :(((( I just couldn;t stand it that they were all left alone. Of course the dogs save the men, the men leave the dogs to themselves. I am so angry abpout it but I love how all the crew members were REALLYfighting for the dogs. Haruhimo was especially striking, but I loved his character lots, good role for Sakai, I was so happy to see two of my favourite actors in roles well suited for them both. I am unsure, but this may dethrone good luck as my top kimutaku drama yet...I have to ecxplore the story some more now. Well, have a lovely week C4U!

i imagine. when you like something so much, it;s difficult to wait. the thrill hm, yes there is some anticipation but I have the same anticipation waiting for the entire drama to finish airing and without starting it my curiosity is strong because I want to know what the drama and the comments about it are all about lol.

not if I marathon. i skip some parts sometimes. I do find it tedious if I have to watch for the next episode. I prefer marathioning for this reason, and marathing lets me both see the overall storyline in a short amount of time and stop some parts to consier it in more details. I like to be time efficient with my dramas lol
The more I watch him, the more I like him. He has this unassuming, quiet demeanour. He evokes an aura of kindness with a bit of sadness, and yet he can have this very acidic..acrid expression when the role demands it. his voice is very nice too.
Two of my favourite actors in one drama kimutaku and sakai masato. And I loved the story, it was very heart-warming, touching on all accounts. Very isnpired man, or so it seems from this adaption, I have to explore the true story now. And yes, this the Japanese drama that I like: heartfelt, celebrating spirit, team effort, and showing the love of the dogs and also for the dogs.

I just finished a couple of my old ones and I also watched Nankyouku Tairiku, a very lovely, if a bit sad, drama. I'm also atching an old japanese romance with Takenouchi Yukata. After that I'll go for White Christmas, but other than that I'm not sure I think of taking a break for a while. Do you ever get tired of watching?

Haha, sounds like it may not be very interesting. Which one is it? I switched over to japanese dramas for now and am in love with them..so much that I don;t feel like returning to korean dramas at all for now. Have you atched any of the recent japanese ones?

You're quite right. I really appreciate your perspective and your insight as always is very to the point. And you're being very understanding, it;s the rama that isn't. lol. Of course, no drama ill ppeal to all tastes but I'm still wondering if it really is all a matter of just taste and preferences. I think a major part of our gripoe lies with the difficulty of finding an anwer to this question. I'll look forward to your opinions on Koi no Chikara. I liked the story myself, it was such a japanese romance lol. I just finished nakyoku tairiku. I loved it. Such a heart-warming story but i felt so sorry for thise dogs! The enthusiasm of Kimurochi as so palapable, though, even Sakai Masato's character got infected once he got over the past. I wonder if it really was like it, I have to explore the true story more now. Thank you and may you have a continously rewarding drama experience :)

Haha, yeah and I really need to get it better organised, I just don;t know how yet lol. Indeed, but it;ls just that conversations with people here are verrry rewarding and enrichening very often, especially when you find like-minded people. I just finished nankyoku tairiku too of my favourite actors are there and the story is beauuutiful. I was really sad for the dogs. Of course dogs are faiuthful and men had to abandon them I cried buckets when they met again. I loved hiow Sakai;s character (he;s the other favourite actor aside from Kimutaku) transfiormed into a complete believer once he let go of the past. What a lovely, endearing story it was! Did you get to investigate the other connections, as you wrote in your review you were going to?

Hello Educto! From what I've seen, and I haven't finished the series yet, LIAR game is a tight suspense, with an interesting plot. I know I want to watch it soon but I haven;t been in the mood to finih it yet, but it does have a very strong start that pulls you in, if you like mystery and suspense and if you like matsuda shota too, of course :)

hahah good luck with it, lookin forward to your comments. Yes, but 1 litre of tears features a very could story about love that changes you and makes you grow up. It was sad and physically painful to watch at times, but somehow very enrichening. It has a beatuful story, really. Very inspirational. I'm fine, thank you, still dealing with my PTW lists lol they aren;t getting any thinner :D

true enough. :) Well I thought so, but then I fell in oe with thise movies. They are enrichening and I liked that. Unlike you, I really loved the princess man ending because it was not sugary sweet, but very well fit into the overal story. As for bridal mask, well I wasn't enthusasitic about the drama at all but the ending was fitting. Romcoms are great after such stories, too.
