Me too, I am not keen to watch Western shows but IT Crowd (also made by the Brits), OMG that show is so bloody funny and remains one of funniest series I've ever watched. Too bad it's no longer produced (the last season ended a year ago)
As for my all-time favorite, I'd suggest you Suzuki Sensei. Yup perhaps it's an obscure drama for most MDLers but I'd say it's an utter masterpiece and mind blowing. I also like Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Kinpachi sensei (only watched the 6th season though), and JIN series a lot. I don't watch movies as much I watch dramas and some MDLers call me crazy for avoiding most samurai shows but somehow it doesn't click on me. I'd prefer more modern-setting movies, though.

So does mine, it's ever expanding and never got enough time to watch them all. I may look like watching a lot recently but it's much to the release of the subtitles
Few thoughts regarding Lost Days: I am almost dismayed of what dramas at the same trait and production (especially those in regular TV channels) had to offer - most turned half-baked and pedestrian despite good concepts, thus I watch it without any expectation. And it turned not as bad as I expect, at least at episode 1. Perhaps it's just a prelude, well, we don't know what's up next. The acting is pretty passable, again - perhaps they will show their true colors of acting as the story and plot demands to.

Yup, I did, and I was baffled why did you not updating the blog, it's decent indeed. I also planned to make one but never materialized. Have seen a number of decent review blogs but many are no longer active :(, and it made me say, "How come I can manage a review blog amid the jobs?"
Some parts of the city was flooded due to combination of very heavy rainfall and water intrusion, but everything is resolved by now. I had a business trip to Jakarta when the flood was at utmost (I stayed in Kelapa Gading) and it foiled my plan all day! What a day it was LOL.
Anyway, what shows do you watch currently? I find this season is pretty boring and lacks variations, moreover the subtitles coming up at snail's pace :(. I watch Lost Days, which is aired and produced in regular TV channel and this type of shows tends to be turned half-baked, not spectacular of course, but a bit beyond expectation

Wow another fellow Indonesian in MDL! Then possible to make an Indonesian Clan in MDL, shall we?
I decided to put this username in every forum I'm in, it's an portmanteau of "lontong" and "stroong". Lontong means submarine in Forum Militer in Kaskus (yes, I like military stuff) and "stroong" is a suffix to reflect the strength of the subject (though it could be pejorative, too LOL)
Currently I live and work in Palembang, what's about yours? I see you are an avid fan of Kimi no Todoke :). My fella in Kaskus is Tabe's fan as well

He is zany indeed, but I like his works a lot. I've watched all of his works (except Damejin, don't know why it hasn't subbed yet) and I'd say my favorite is Jikou Keisatsu and its sequel. It is an episodic show, however, but I regard this one as his best work. Compared to his other movies and series (especially Atami, Adrift in Tokyo, and Ore Ore), Jikou Keisatsu is lighter, tongue-in-cheek comedy.
Just watched one of his earliest works namely In The Pool, already represents his unique sense of comedy, but the execution was somewhat crude compared his later showcases. However, it's an enjoyable watch especially if you already get used to his style

I do think that Yuusha series was made as a tribute to Monty Phyton, too many references LOL!
And I'd suggest Atami no Sousakan to you (for your preferences), I bet you'll like this one
Is it just me who have just watched a porn show without porn?

LOL the idol Yuusha! It's on first season
One more thing I remember the most is Merebu's useless spells, like one that creates ice cubes out of somebody's mouth. He is definitely my favorite character in the entire series

Yup, I am. My favorite is definitely the first one, the sequel reflects the lack of idea from the screenwriter. Too much repetitions and I think it could be a lot better. Don't get me wrong though, it is still very funny compared to usual slapstick dramas. I could recall the Kinpachi parody is the funniest out of the sequel (and perhaps the entire series), you might find it very funny if you already watched Kinpachi sensei series

Then I'd reply: Selamat malam juga :). Nope, here in Indonesia shorter, more generic greetings like "halo" is not considered ignorant.
I also interested on how Brazilians congratulate others by expressing "parabens" (learnt in from youtube), it sounds cool
Good! Have you watched Yuusha Yoshihiko's sequel?

Nope, I just love to greet others by their native greetings :). Anyway, I see you come close to finish My Boss My Hero, any thoughts? It's my all-time favorite comedy, not worthy of winning any accolades but still highly entertaining
