It seems most people are dissing her acting and I am like that in the past and still not convinced with most of her acting, but she is really good in comedy and with the right director directing her, she ended up really effective. She's the same type of actress as Ishihara Satomi and Satomi is treated like she's the best japanese actress lol. Satomi Ishihara is the glorified Arimura Kasumi, damn yes I just said it. Lol

Nobuta?

Solid cast, no wallflower added into the mix. All of them can act.

Sion sono got huge cult following abroad so I'm not even surprised. There are people who don't know pikachu but know who he is.

Ume chan best character

When did nakamura yurika become this daring? She fits her role perfectly.

Yup their creativity is really different, not just in dramas and movies but also in novels and video games as well.

So it is the classic case where an idol ruined the script of the drama. I was looking forward to it since it is adapted from a novel, I am not fan of manga-ish romance jdramas. I guess I'll skip this one.

Lol there's more

Yeah without him there won't be a story. He is by far the biggest plot device I encountered in Jdramaland.

Shigi boom boom

WOWOW dramas usually has top notch production especially they always get the best music composers in Japan. I just love the whole atmosphere of that drama thats why. The reveal is a bit underwhelming but the theme is strong in that drama.

I am only familiar with jdramas and yeah big name actors are usually the culprit. I can almost tell who will be the culprit in mystery dramas but they can be tricky at times like after watching the first episode of SPEC, I didnt know they will go in that path.

Depends on your taste

Emi Takei 2.0

It is all fiction lol, it is like portraying a different version of herself. The subs are off at times so i dont know whether he is her half brother or just the owner of the sweet shop her father loves. Though i didnt understand the important points in the episode but i love the whole atmosphere of the drama, it is very koreeda.

I really love Giddens Ko movies, the story is quirky but heartfelt at the same time.

This is what happen when your teacher bomb your school before graduation, you all become liberated.

Nah this one is different from that one, though there is a romance but not comparable to doki doki romance jdramas.

I guess I'm wrong lol. Aju kept getting casted to non mainstream movies while sugisaki got those cheesy roles.
