wow! you really put a lot of effort into this. thank you for your hard work! I like the tag system and the filters, it'll make it easier finding dramas on certain topics and I prefer watching dramas that already finished airing^__^ it will take me some time getting used to the new features but I'm excited to explore them ~

so many what the ff... moments XD but overall quite enjoyable if you want a light hearted comedy for afternoon watching.

haha thank you for this article! I've had that reaction multiple times: Why am I watching this? My all time favourite would be Hana Kimi, because that is just an overload of crazy: obvious cross dressing - when did she every seem like a boy?, the main guy turning into a drunk kissing monster, the weird inventions, and that insane school principle. Literally not a single 'normal' person and that is probably what I love so much about this drama. Plot is super weird too but they all seem to have so much fun it's contagious!I think I rewatched it 4 times or more? XD

it's funny cause at first I thought 'yay now I can watch more in between'! like you said 1hour can be painfully long. but I realised that I end up watching the second episode right after because the first one ended with a cliff hanger and I tell myself: aah it's just another 30minutes. someone tell me how my brain works? ^^°

oh yes me too!I agree too!
and Kamenashi + Yamapi I loved them in Nobuta wo produce! should be interesting to see them again after so many years. can't believe that was a 2005 drama, I feel like rewatching all the good old stuff that got me into dramaland *_*

thanks for this article!! I know Japanese romcom drama always get pushed aside because there is 'not enough romance', but actually I feel they are refreshing in a way. Because they seem more sincere about the mutual love between the characters and not mainly about the hot kiss scenes. I really loved Dame na Watashi Koishite Kudasai! And Nigeru Wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu is a drama I'll definitely check out! it's funny cause I discovered Hoshino Gen's song by chance and it's been my phone ringtone for a while now and after learning that it's from a drama and he's even in it makes it even better!

imagine they were all stationed in the same place.the other guys must feel like they live in a tv show XD

I didn't have time to read everything yet, but thank you all so much for commenting and for the many drama suggestions! <3 I want to start watching now~
I do realise the good guy is not entirely new, it's just that I found the popular drama mostly have jerk male leads. And we will take a while or maybe forever before we will really hate watching our bad boys to be honest. haha I just like to see the usual patterns being mixed up a bit!^^
(also I didn't hate Secret Garden, it was just the first time watching K-drama I remember thinking: is this really romantic? and why doesn't she kick his ass XD)

yes I agree with you on that one! their relationship was totally messed up and in my opinion it wasn't funny at all. I mean the mum was funny at times, but the whole violence was really misplaced in a romcom. no idea why they even made it like that and resolved it so quickly, I was thinking actually it would have been better they got a divorce... but I never get that whole idea of hitting the guy you like. my Korean friend told me when the girls do it it's not really painful, but I don't dig the 'playful' beating thing -_-°

a great refreshing story for a romcom and I simply love everything about the female and the male lead!! sometimes just plain random, especially the side stories, and there's sweetness sparkling out of every corner ~ * ~ * a bit too much for me at times ^^° I believe a story about women's empowerment with so much cuteness is something only Asian drama can pull off.

it fits with the whole theme of an independent strong woman though, the dad can stay home and take care of the children too. if only they weren'r super strong XD
come to think of it why didn't the grandma appear at the wedding? ;(

aah why did I finish watching this so quickly?! I'll miss them! all of them T_T if I could give this more than a 10 I totally would! I think this will be one of the few drama I consider rewatching~

I am still bawling my eyes out T_T this is such a great movie and to know it's based on real events just makes it so much better

I decided to read the manga before watching it and I have to say if ever two characters perfectly came to life then it would be those two. apart from the sometimes awkward acting, they looked exactly like the drawing. the flow of the story fits the manga, but I think it's missing the internal monologues from the manga to help you understand their feelings. actually they should be awkward, because it is a new experience for both of them.
and about the actors age, well how many 20+ people have played high school kids in countless movies and tv shows from all over the world?

haha this is going to be the longest Lotte commercial ever and lots of eye candy :D

I just rewatched it again and I cannot say why but I still love it so much!^_^ it's just that whenever I think live is shit this drama will cheer me up. it's far from perfect but to me it's just one of those stories that make me feel warm and fuzzy~

lol looks like I'm not alone here. I'm stuck on episode 13 and can't seem to move on, although I think it has to do with the story rather than certain characters. personally I prefer Arang and the Magistrate and Iljimae, where you get action and the romance seperately :D

thanks for your article! makes me want to watch the movies again:D I totally agree with Shinomori Aoshi's role not being portrayed well in the movies, if you didn't read the manga you won't know of his importance. Another thing about the 2nd and 3rd movie that disappointed me was, despite the fight scenes being cinematographically well made (Sato Takeru did a great job in his actions scenes), they chose to make it a big war. In the manga they focus on the fighting style of each character and how Kenshin defeats them indivually developing new skills, whereas in the movie it's just like he is running around defeating these masses of soldiers who are no match for him anyways.
it would be awesome to have another movie for the last arc! did anyone write a petition? ;D

aaw what a sweet and awkward story. haha I just love Nishikido Ryo. Maybe it's just me, but Tomosaka Rie looks like she could be related to Miura Haruma :D

okay I agree with you Coffee prince will always be my first and favourite. but you convinced me: I want to give this a try! and I want some ice cream now XD
