I would want more of the father-daughter relationship...which is done right in Futeki but not in this one

This is the second drama discussing/parodying over the overly-sensitive word restriction in Japanese TV. Before was from one of the Non-REM (don't remember which one)....LoL. I wonder if it's happening for real in Japan...if it's true this is crazy and overdone I would say

Watching KudoKan drama but don't want bullshit settings is contradiction my friend

I watched it at Kissasian (with lu extension)

It's a one-short drama after all. I see the old actors as cameo instead of new plot addition.

It's interesting to see Noburu (Oguri Shun) who was the shortest boy from back then has now turned into the tallest among them all (including Onizuka)

This is more like a Reunion special. If you're a fan of the 98 version, this is a nice watch. The plot was okay and satisfactory for a one-short Spin-Off like this....it's very very far from bad IMO.

I guess one of the best moment is when Maestro accompanying Hibiki on Violin. He mentioned something about not rushing to Hibiki after the contest 5 years ago and now he guided her with the piano how to "calm down" at certain part of the song.

I have mixed feeling with this. Overall it was just an okay-ish drama with IMAICHI plot but the production was "premium" with all the shots and scenery. There were some good moments but at the same time there were also draggy ones. The characters of Maestro could have been better with different actor IMO. Nishijima was too cool to be clumsy that his awkwardness felt so unnatural....lol reminds me of Fukuyama Masaharu in Shudan Sasen. I know he played almost the same character in Shinhannin Flag but that drama's selling point was the suspense and mystery.

This is surprisingly fun!! I have low expectation as it's Aiba's drama and I'm not fans of Arashi....but it turned out better than expected. They could go wrong with many things with this kind of manga LA, but it looks like they have the right formula to make the drama interesting especially making the side characters just right for the MC instead of trying to overshadow him (as I personally think Aiba has weak screen presence).

The comedy part was also nice and there were some cross over with other dramas.

Binge-worthy. Rewatch-worthy.

This is a unique medical suspense in the sense that it has fresh characters. The mystery was also interesting but not necessarily unique, but you will stay until the end to know who's the real culprit.

They intentionally chose male actors with 180++ to be in the drama so the height difference is prominent...lol

The drama was okay. The first 2 episodes wasn't that interesting and felt too forced on the financial side TBH...but the 3rd episode onwards was better. If you're fans of Hashimoto Kanna this drama is for you.

I only heard these 3 songs from this drama TBH so I don't know about this band....but I guess Orange had that familiar Jpop arrangement with catchy melody that makes it easier to digest lol...even the guitar part from Orange sounded much like Hoshino Gen songs

Not serious but a fun drama. Perfect for casual watch and you could participate in solving the puzzle too. Interestingly they had Oda's descendant to play Oda Nobunaga.

Entertaining but it is set to have multiple seasons. Imagine this one ended in cliffhanger just right after things got interesting. Before that it was mainly just the backstories. As a season finale it was too opened and unsatisfactory IMO (I wish we got to at least see Sakura's power developed). Luckily it only has 6 episodes.

One thing I find good about this drama is its consistency in writing the mentality of the 3 main characters which is around middle school age (13 - 15). They were just rightly naive-ed and weren't super matured or unnaturally idealist.

Other part of writing was good too especially the "stage play" kind of dialogues by the Lightning Bolt...LoL

Will watch Season 2 for sure!

Please don't get me wrong but I think you're not ready to watch Taiga Drama yet. You should avoid it instead of keep dropping one drama after another.

If you like the variety program, Seishun Gakko you may like this one too. I don't watch that so this drama just felt okay-ish to me. The mystery doesn't make sense. It was just there so that these Seishun Gakko talents could appear on screen. This was their first time acting in drama according to the BTS episode they posted on TV Tokyo YT channel.

This drama was okay but it didn't have interesting characters you can root for. 13 episodes seemed too long for this and yet they still failed to create good chemistry between Asuka and Jumbo Sensei.

Hey, just to inform you that Drama Otaku is currently opened for registration. They will close in few days so hopefully you can join them ASAP. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next month intake.

Many converted to Christian during Nobunaga time which was around 1570's. The leaders after that i.e. Hideyoshi and Tokugawa were not so friendly with Christians. Finally the isolation of Japan done during Tokugawa Shogunate.

If you're interested in the history and don't mind low budget production you can watch a Taiga Drama, Nobunaga King of Zipangu. It was told from the perspective of Lois Frois, the Portuguese mercenaries. Very very truthful to the historical event without the gimmick.
