currently watching Namida wo fuite, an oldie one with Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi) and Ueto Aya, as well as some currently airing Apoyan and Biblia... still J-dramas, i just can't get enough of them !!

Hi!! how are you?
I added it because someone I know made an interesting review which makes me want to watch it... good that it is hilarious, i need that at the moment.

I totally agree with this useless ending. what a shame, some of the episodes were really good.

i'm ok. sorry I didn't reply yet. i don't forget you. i'm just... well, i guess i'm lazy at the moment. a little bit busy, and maybe also too tired when i come back home every evening to really write a long answer. and our last topic needs a long answer. I hope you're fine. what about the job and studies? gambatte ne!

otanjoubi omedetou Daito-san !
I really adore this actor, I do agree, he should have more main roles!

I really enjoy school dramas (even if, or because of?, my high school years are far away now...) so I was curious to see what you have chosen. Gokusen and Dragon Zakura are two dramas that i really enjoyed though they are far from being my favourites. I'm looking forward to the next parts, there are so many good school dramas imo : Nobuta wo produce, Tumbling, Life... (sorry, I don't watch lots of k-dramas)
In fact, i've only seen the first season of Gokusen, but your enthousiasm makes me consider to watch the two last. Thanks a lot !

The only one i haven't seen is Jotei. It seems interesting but maybe a little bit too hard for me. I will consider it though.
I really loved the other three (but Gokusen a step below, I've only watched the first season.) I was surprised to see Life in this list, but I do agree with it to be a must-watch (I would have expected HYD, so many people seem to be so enthousiastic for this drama). Liar Game is no surprise (and it deserves it): I guess we cannot resist Akiyama's charm...

thnaks for the friend request

Hello. thanks for the friend's request. I'm also fond of the cuteness in Kimi ni todoke!

thanks for the friend's request!! it seems we've got a lot in common! I think I will take some new ideas of dramas in your list. I'm also a big fan of (almost)anything Japanese. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

well... with MDL admins, maybe... all the more that I know very good and refined french chocolates (but I don't know if it's possible to send them from France to the US...)

thanks a lot!!! i love chocolates!

sorry if it doesn't make any sense, but I was shouting in front of my computer, like :Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh you changed your avi!!!. I am so confused now, as if Einstein didn't stick his tongue anymore, or as if a compass did'nt show the north anymore. Will need time to get used to your new one. sorry, it really doesn't make any sense....

Matsuda-san's drama looks really interesting. 35 sai no Koukousei too. Thanks for the news!

yes, thanks !!! and it was so nice to read what other members said. to belong to such a strange but kind family, it's really heartwarming!

what a joyful article!! that was definitely a good idea, so thanks for asking.
and once more, thanks to our great admins!

What a funny article! Thanks a lot!!
I think i've got the JDV... don't know if i should tell my doctor? !!!
Hope to read more from you in the future!

unexpectedly, I'm becoming addicted to City hunter.
I will reply to you, there are so many things to say. But I need more time. hope tomorrow will be okay. good night busy girl.

(sorry, i'm very talkative tonight). We can share a lots of items, our cultural backgrounds and our daily way of life make our countries still very different. When I went to Japan in 2011, I was sure I would be able to deal with it because I knew I would find some things that are similar to ours, even if I do not master the language. But that was quite disturbing. even after having seen many dramas, having read some information about Japan, I was sometimes at a loss in the country, especially when dealing with Japanese people. What strike me the most was how you can feel, as a foreigner, the weight of the society in everyday life (like when waiting for the train, or in restaurants...). not to say that Japanese people spent their time looking at you as if you were an alien...
Sorry to have been so long, a very interesting point to discuss. Good night, multi-tasking girl! Ganbatte ne!

(not enough place once again...)
you are right when saying Korea and Japan are so different despite being so close. I wonder if it is because Japan has spent more than 300 years with it's frontiers totally close. Being an island helped a lot. They have created their own culture without considering what happened on the continent. I don't know Korea's history, so I don't know how different they can be from China, which is so closed. I guess that the expansion of communism and the cold war played big roles in making those countries different from each other.
Maybe we are sometimes fooled (like I was at the beginning) because we may think that as Asian countries are developped ones, they are closed to ours (for example there are brands from there which are sold in our countries, and there are things from our countries (at least from mine) or which comes from the US that are sold there).
