SPEC [2010]
just completed it yesterday. the first few episodes are so-so, but getting better and better.. the last 2 episodes are really good. it seem they'll make a sequel, i guess (i'll not really exciting if they make sequel) overall, its very nice series. Toda Erika joked about possible movie (after credits at the last episode)

KDO is freaking hilarious. Meant it with all my heart. hahaha.

I see it as nice closure to the series. I couldn't accept any new sequel. It's getting too full.

Tiger & Dragon could be said as a masterpiece of running jokes in Japanese motion pictures. If you're like me (been watching dramas since 1995), man, it does make you laughing out loud. The jokes is pointy and freaking funny.

Just finish watch (after so much struggle to download the drama) Golden Bowl (2002). Man, it was a good drama, people don't make that kind of drama anymore.

Also, finish downloading and watching Shinya Shokudo (2009) (Midnight Restaurant). A simple, warm hearted midnight drama about people and food. Really really nice.

If I must recommend good drama, i have lots but what I usually watch (and rerun after that) are:

1) Osen (2008) - food and comedy drama. Really delicious and really funny
2) Haken No Hinkaku (2007)- drama and comedy drama. Really funny but down to earth in term of issues with employment etc.
3) Iryu 1,2,3 - Medical drama. Although I must say that the formula is stretching thin enough for 3 seasons, it's still great to watch Iryu up until 3 seasons. However, I wish they could stop it all together.

lots more drama KimuTaku (big dan really) drama which are not totally sucks like Engine; totally awesome and heartwarming..moved me to tears, Change; awesome drama about politics, Karei Naru Ichizoku; great drama about love-hate relationship between father and son, One Million Stars Falling From The Sky; really really awesome, twisted drama which KimuTaku become villain, freaking awesome!!! and many more. Starting with Mr Brain, his drama become dull and not as interesting as before especially Tsuki No Koibito (Moon's Lover). Man, that drama sucks rectum!

I also heart Abe Hiroshi, he's an awesome actor. KDO was his best moment, hands down.

does tsunami /earthquake tragedy in Japan effects anything to JDrama broadcasting? (delayed, etc). any announcement?

Not sure but I think it does, especially for the first few days. Even live parliament sitting broadcast was cancelled to broadcast the earthquake news.

Utsukushii Rinjin [2011]

this is good stuff, love it, im at 5th episode (aired completely in Japan). its thriller-drama.

im a big fan of Nakama Yukie, but she rarely have a good drama in recent years. this time she's on a bit different role, she is a mysterious beautiful new neighbour, an antagonist. suit her well.

i believe ive seen similar storyline (Hollywood movie i guess). not an issue for me since Hollywood themselves do it vice versa.. beautiful stranger coming into perfectly happy family, wreck it for some personal reason.

the aspect i loving most about this drama, how they setup and panning out the storyline. the 1st 10 minute are good enough to fascinate me. ending of every episode will leave me some questions and great anticipation for the next episode. a lot of twists (though many twists made it cliche)

im not overhyping it, but i think i miss a very good JDrama for more than a year now.. the last one ive really enjoyed it are Mother [2010].

Watching Trick (from the very beginning) now.. but I don't have the SPs.. ..help?

Also, Liar Game (also from beginning)..

I must advice to those whom concern, if you guys are watching Trick, don't watch Liar Game at the same time like I do.. The excitement of Trick will surely drop like hell.. Now I think I have to finish Liar Game, only then I can continue Trick. You have to finish your ice-cream first, then eat your nasi, right?

And I hate the fact that they repeat some tricks (like the envelope thing, card thing etc) in Trick season 2. Nasib baik, so far, the main trick (main story) quite good, can still make me continue watch it (but only after Liar Game ).


Also, Lunch no Joou (re-watching). I watch this again because I remember how effective and influential it was to me when I watched it for the first time on 8TV years ago. To the point where I actually tried to make an omurice myself. Tried.

walaueh.. didn't watch any anime/jdrama lately.. so many pending title to watch...

btw anyone watch Kurosagi the movie?

i watched it, not quite remember when. maybe couple of year ago.

nothing special about the movie. but still a decent watch, as good as the drama. stand alone storyline, no continuity or development about the villain Kurosaki chase after at the end of the drama series, nor romance story development with him and the girl next door (the girl only made brief appearance)

So I just found out BOSS 2 is coming soon, very soon. Hopefully, so will the sub.



Season 1 was good, especially the one with Sorimachi, I hope this one's gonna be better.

^ boss was kinda blurry for me, couldnt remember much about it.
didnt know there will be 2nd season but i'm looking forward to this.

btw off topic but u're from tawau?hai!

Yep, born & raised. You are too?

lol yeah born and raised as well..

anyway, i just watched 1st ep of utsukushii rinjin and i kinda like nakama yukie's role here.
she's breaking through from her yamaguchi-sensei persona,imho.
still need to watch more episodes to comment on the drama though

Utsukushii Rinjin, love that drama.. Nakama Yukie is on top performance..

LADY~Saigo no Hanzai Profile~ [2011]

im on 4th episode.

this series is comparable to Mr Brain. experimental method /new department aid to catch criminal, top police officer didnt like it, scientist try to play detective etc.

a story about profiling and smart reasoning are cool, but i think they miscast the actors/ actresses. they had a beautiful faces (esp Kitagawa Keiko ), but IMO they are misfit here. only Hiraoka Yuta (as Shinbori Keisuke) looked OK. and the policeman is cool (Yusuke Santamaria as Tsuge Masaki )

the storyline are still OK overall, (i dont know proper english /malay word), but they (the CPS team) all looked poyo..

^me layan Mr Brain

imo nowsday Jdroma missing something

Boss was more like style over substance. Looking forward to Jin 2!

I finished Trick 1, 2, Movie 1. Indeed as many has talked about, they didn't really explain the super-fast hair growth in Trick 2 finale.

Well that doesn't sound convincing, I guess I'd skip Utsukushii Rinjin

looking forward for both, especially JIN.

anyway, any medical personal here (and watched JIN)? are the medical aspect of the drama correct /realistic /credible? love to watch Jin Sensei improvise the modern medical technique /equipment and practice it in ancient years.

oh yes Jin is coming back for the 2nd season.
in less than 2 weeks isit?
they left a lot of things hanging in the previous season so i'm hoping that everything could be explained this time..

i am looking forward to JIN also
