True, now that I think he hasn't been in that many rom-coms. xD But one or two is more than enough for me, even though I don't watch them. Last Friends was my second ever drama. I tried rewatching it recently, but some of those scenes were too much for me.
I can't think of many villainous Johnny's dramas at all. And most I can think of are good Johnny vs. bad Johnny: The Quiz Show 2, Hidarime Tantei EYE, and Orthros no Inu I guess. There's Tackey in Taiyou no Kisetsu, maybe...
(And I just realised I can't actually remember what happened in Maou at all.)

If it was any other group I wouldn't bother, it looks so awkward. I'm reluctant to start since I know I'll persevere until the end even if I hate it.

It's not my favourite of their albums but there's only one song I don't like, so I'd say it's a pretty good mix. If you like Maeyamada Kenichi's songs, he wrote TAKOYAKI in my heart (http://blog.naver.com/8ninde1/110177852838).

Thanks for your help. =) I've only watched the first episode of Coffee House but I like it so far. I don't watch a lot of romantic comedies (from any country) since the "world revolves around finding a boyfriend" view bothers me, especially when it's an integral part of a female character's personality.
Your other recommendations look interesting too, Cruel City in particular. I can't say I'm too bothered by Korean clichés since they're not familiar yet.

I trust Fujiwara to trash any role he touches.

They've owned my life with their new album these past few days. Have you heard any of it yet?

Ah, would you mind recommending me a drama with one of your Korean favourite actresses? I know next to nothing about Korean drama so I have no idea where to start. Any genre would be fine.

I tend to expect disappointment from anything starring multiple Johnny's, but since some of them have turned out to be my most enjoyed dramas I can't complain too much.
I'd love for Ryo to have a few roles like those he did some years ago. Can't help feeling he's wasted on romantic comedies.

I watched Ando Lloyd, and I'm glad I did. =) It was a lot more heavy on the suspense than I thought it would be, which I liked. The mystery, romance and comedy elements didn't feel cohesive, but it is only the first episode. Probably my favourite start to the season so far.

Some of my "plan to watch in the near future" dramas have been on hold for ages though. Not sure I'll ever get round to watching Papadol. Your "on hold" usage seems a lot more practical than mine. xD

Mabataki is a lovely song.

I think I'll give both Ando Lloyd and Hakuba a try. Not a fan of KimuTaku's acting, but I do like the theme. And I'm in the mood for something quiet, amongst all of these comedies.

I'm not sure... My plan to watch is for dramas I might watch in the future, my on hold list is for dramas I'll definitely watch in the near future, and my dropped list is for dramas that belong to the future in that they haven't aired yet. It all makes sense in my head. xD

Oh, and I see you added Boys on the Run to your plan to watch list. Enjoy it if you do decide to watch it!

Spam away, by all means. =)

I've been actively avoiding all of these dramas starring young Johnny's. The last experience I had (Koishite Akuma) was not a good one. In truth I only watched that for the Yoko cameo episode anyway, so it's my own fault for forcing myself through 9 other episodes of mind-numb.

I'm definitely guilty of watching a drama for an actor. As demonstrated above, actually. xD
I don't watch too many procedurals. If you've seen one you've seen them all, since usually there's no depth to a one-episode character. I have no idea how to rate them either. The episodes might be good individually but I always feel underwhelmed by the whole. Hopefully Henshin Interviewer is charming enough to be engaging, and I know I'll watch at least Onmyouya because I'll have a casual Ryo fan watching it over my shoulder.

I know how you feel. For the past few seasons there have been some standout dramas for me, but this season doesn't seem to be as interesting. =/ I was looking forward to Nishikido Ryo's fortune-teller drama since it's his first in a while, but I don't find him convincing in that kind of role. I actually started 49 because it was the first on my list to air, but it turned out to be pretty good. I'll probably end up watching Tokyo Bandwagon too, even though I already have the feeling it'll be boring. And I'm waiting for Henshin Interviewer no Yuutsu to start, because it's written and directed by Miki Satoshi and I love his movies.
How are Ando Lloyd and Hakuba no Oujisama? I feel like I'm watching nothing but comedies and I wouldn't mind something a bit more serious. xD
I don't really drop things either. I actually keep dramas that haven't started but I plan to watch in my dropped list...

Hello. =)

How are you finding this drama season so far?

Hello =)

SNSD is the only Korean group I follow, and my favourite Japanese idol group is Kanjani8. But as for actors, my favourites are probably Ichihara Hayato, Ninomiya Kazunari, Eita and Sasaki Kuranosuke. And other actresses I like are Anne, Toda Erika and Kanjiya Shihori.

How about you?

I've had strange looks when I've replied "KinKi Kids" to "What are you listening to?" but Sexy Zone wouldn't even have an explanation. xD

Thank you for the friend request. =)

We seem to share several favourites. I love Karina, Sawajiri Erika and Fukuda Saki, and Tiffany is my bias in SNSD.

I don't think I'll ever get over it. I can't even imagine them in 10 years time.

Yeah, I get what you mean... But then again, the group is called "Sexy Zone".

Your comment is wonderful.

This was only really enjoyable once I'd started thinking of it as a sort-of black comedy.

Not sure how I felt about the drama in the end, but the OST is one of my favourites from Japanese TV.

Hello! A question: what is the art in your avatar from? It's very pretty.

They made an American Inbetweeners? Well, Skins USA was crappy so I guess I'm not missing much.
