Anyone know of some Japanese dramas that could be called "slap and kiss"?

Himuro needs to invest in a whiteboard. I'm sure spray paint in a basement isn't good for the air quality.

Probably nobody's watched it, but a few episodes of Kaiki Club really did scare me. I'm easily scared though.

Where were the firemen in the last 15 minutes? Why did Mr. Expensive Suit Salaryman have to go brave a raging fire to save his wife?

A lot of people would say he deserved it... I feel sorry for him though. xD He wasn't an evil guy in the drama.

I see. I have no interest in watching the other versions, so I'll have to disagree based on the version I have seen.

Bearing in mind I've only seen the 90s version, at what point did she try to break free? Apart from when she went off to improve herself for him I can only remember Kotoko following him around like a puppy. And right up until the end, I definitely did not get the impression Irie enjoyed her overkill attention. In fact, their relationship gave me a brother/sister fake hostility/adoration feeling. Irie had a bad attitude, but I don't think he was particularly manipulative with his nastiness.

A female mocking and humiliating her stalker would be seen as abuse?

That is certainly the message, but I disagree that Irie is abusive. His behaviour is acceptable under the circumstances. If their genders were reversed, female Irie wouldn't be seen as abusive.

I understand Irie's frustration in Itazura Na Kiss. He's mean to her, but I can't call it an abusive relationship. Girl is exceptionally stupid, she does nothing but get in his way, she forces her wants and needs onto him, and by the end I think it's more that he got used to her than started to love her. If a male character behaved the way she did, he'd be the one seen as abusive.

Shikaotoko is so under-rated.

Meg Ryan?

The How to Read volume of the manga says Near is male. I don't care if he's portrayed by an actor or an actress. He's a pretty ambiguous character in all sorts of ways.

How many episodes until the male lead stops being a horrible person?

I didn't know there was a K-drama with a gay main character.

Kubota's evil facial expressions are spot on. He looks just like manga Light.

I can't really remember the movies, but I'm glad the drama features Mikami. The latter half of the manga/anime has so much untapped potential.

I really wanted out of the Yotsuba arc. Couldn't Rem give the Death Note straight to Mikami or something?
