completed Joker [2010] yesterday..

the general idea is great, but with poor execution. the 3 main cast are disappointing. it had 11 episodes, but was concluded in 10th. the finale just a review of all previous episodes and preparation to possible sequences.

5.5/10.

Ayase Haruka is very annoying me in Hotaru no Hikari 2, but i thinks thats the indication she really filled that clueless /naive girl role perfectly.. Sakai Masato, he seem emotionless in that role. quite surprise to see he's winning it.

Just finished Atami no Sousakan.
It was full of annoying lame acting, pathetic "jokes", unnecessary scenes, etc.. but it has the one thing I love the most.. the psychological aspect..

I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, because of the pathetic "jokes" shit etc, but if u like what I like; detective stuff and/or psychology, it's worth the watch, definitely..

oh I am? haha..well.. it's just that recently I dont take from d-addicts as much.. thus, not having much choice.. also, I don't rely on viewers review/ratings, it's the genre of the show that I look for..

but hey, don't get me wrong, Atami no Sousakan is good if u are able to ignore the silly part of the show.. especially the ending.. almost like a hollywood grade mindf*ck..

ill try it later, i take your words. its rare to see mindf*** jdrama. already found a complete links with subtitle.

im 'stuck' with lot of latest jdrama, waiting for subtitles. most dissapointing is Gold [2010]. only 3 episode subbed cry.gif

i think we just spoilt by choices. the ages of internet broadband, we can download various type of drama from various country. me myself, im not really hooked to JDrama compare 5-6 years ago. still love it, but too many other different choices.

^im versatile.. because i believe if the drama totally rely on story (not CGI thingy), where it comes from not really important. even our own local production.. im not favour of Korean, HK mainly because the length of the story.. but i believe there are many quality dramas over there.

IMO its a big mistake to label /stereotyping drama by its origin /hasty generalization..

Newest JDrama on my list..

SPEC <--subtitle stuck on EP01
Himitsu <--looked promising, subtitle group seem very dedicated.. remake of Himitsu [1999], The Secret [2007] Hollywood remake..
Freeter <--no subtitle yet..

Unubore Deka [2010]

good stuff. the hero is brilliant, but i think he model himself too much after Jim Carey.

the 1-4 episodes are very predictable, but new faces of beauty of villain for every single episode make it up. 5-10 episodes are good, though the villain characters replace with much more old women. the finale are very good indeed.

lot of funny moments and dialogues. but TBH i didnt get it much because too much of pop /cultural references. love the Unubore routine dance (though admittedly seem very gay-ish and idiotic)

also watched Joker and Hotaru no Hikari 2 of same batch of drama, but Unubore Deka are clearly the better one..

7/10..

Couldn't agree more, I dig things that I like and I don't care if they are trendy or not thumbup.gif. In fact my first jdramas addiction goes back to dubbing days (Oshin, Akantare and Moero Attack lol! Hahaha I'm old  tongue.gif).

And yes, I use to buy boxsets! Actually its one of the reason of my interest in jdramas, because back in my college days when downloading is unheard of (haha!) jdrama boxsets were relatively easy to get (and cheap too! laugh.gif ). Was kinda weekly routine to go down Jusco and buy jdrama series (and yes Jusco had d cheapest price among all lol). I didn't buy them anymore now, d main reason being the subtitles were terrible! Fansubs are way better alternatives, so yeah who can be blamed eh  laugh.gif
*
i still remember watching JDrama boxset days, yes, the subtitle are terrible. poor translation and use BM of Standard 3. but still, im hooked.

last year, i bought 2 boxsets of old drama. very cheap, RM 5 each. but, after watched few minutes, i decided to download it for another copy. cant stand with the poor subtitle (and the quality of picture).

Takashi Sorimachi and Nanako Matsushima are my favourite stars back then. but Sorimachi these days is always involved in mediocre /not so successful drama /film, while Matsushima is just content with minor supporting role. they're real life couple.

Atami No Sousakan [2010]

love the basic story, quite refreshing than typical JDrama. the ending are quite mind boggling. funny moments here and there. but, overall its just an average show. 5/10.

^overall its ok la, i reconsider my rating, ill give 6.5 out of 10.. gave me something different than typical JDrama.. the idea are great, just execution are so-so, the ending are rather poor.. having said that, if they make the SP to give us better conclusion, ill definitely watch it..

Himitsu [2010]

im already know the storyline (from re-make English movie). so its quite predictable (a bit of change here and there)

My random choices for Jan 2011

Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta
Toda and Miura play two teachers, Natsumi Uemura and Shuji Kashiwagi, at the same high school who are set to get married in half a year. However, the night before the school year's opening ceremony, Shuji becomes involved with the young Hikari Saeki (played by Takei), without realizing that she will be a student in his class starting the next day. As Shuji struggles to help Hikari deal with the mental complex she is suffering from, he is also torn inside by his betrayal of Natsumi. Meanwhile, Hikari attempts to get closer to Natsumi, driven by feelings of jealousy and a desire to destroy the couple's relationship.
Why? Its Toda Erika and Fuji TV's drama usually watch-able..

Control ~ Hanzai Shinri Sousa
Segawa Rio, a quick-acting detective, gets transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Violent Crimes Division after she got shot during her previous case. She is made to work together with Nagumo Jun, a level-headed but eccentric psychology professor whoes skills at behavioral analysis are the key to tracking down the criminals. There's also Teranishi Kei, a shy young detective who's had a crush on Segawa since their days at the academy.
Why? Its Fujiki Naohito and subtitle team seem dedicated..

Utsukushii Rinjin
A sudden encounter between a gracefully attractive but mysterious woman, Saki (Nakama Yukie), and an ordinary housewife, Eriko (Dan Rei), who has a happy family, causes Eriko’s serene daily life to fall apart. Eriko’s husband, Shinji (Watabe Atsuro) becomes the target of Saki’s advances and finds himself caught between her and his wife.
Why? I have crush on Nakama Yukie on my younger age, though she seem picking a poor drama these days..

Diplomat Kuroda Kousaku
This sequel to the movie Amalfi brings back Kuroda Kousaku, a diplomat who works at the Japanese anti-terrorism office. His new partner is Ogaki Rikako, a somewhat unreliable detective who loves onsen. The setting includes San Francisco, Mexico and Japan and the story also reveals Kuroda's past.
Why? Seem a serious /heavy drama (my type), and its on Fuji TV..

I'm ready to read preview any other new JDrama and welcoming other suggestion, because all above are just my random picking icon_rolleyes.gif

MISAKI no.1 is just a replica version of GOKUSEN. Boring. yawn.gif

Gokusen 2 & 3 itself are super boring.. too many similar drama like that (a weird /casual approach from not-so-good /loser teacher and reform bunch of gangster /loser /pathetic students)

Kitagawa Keiko? tq for bringing this up. im not notice she have a new drama.. will give a try..

em, recently i noticed Ayase Haruka as new face /model of SKII (some beauty product) in TV advert. normally they choose HK /Korean /local celebrity.. not sure Malaysian viewer know her.. dont care much, but i adore her..

watched this one last night..

Amarufi: Megami No Hoshu [2009] aka Amalfi: Rewards of the Goddess - JMovie

very Hollywood -esque, cat and mouse drama. dont think i like it much. watch it just because the sequels drama, Gaikoukan Kuroda Kosaku aka Diplomat Kuroda Kousaku are airing in Japan now. but ill give a try the drama.

were set Italy, and using 75% Japanese language and the rest Italian /English. make sure you get a proper subtitle.

Damn, just came back to JDorama after like 2 years of no-watching any. Anyone willing to share their top 3 JDorama of 2010 so I can errr...get to watch some awesome one?
*
not many good drama lately.. JDrama are getting boring these days, shame to say cause im always a big fan..

my recommendations (2010), which i watched:
-Mother : i think this is my favourite. but some might say its too slow, emotional.. thinking of Shiroi Haru (women version). humanity-family drama.
-Liar Game 2 : if u like the 1st season, the 2nd are must watch for continuity. thriller drama.
-Code Blue 2 : if u like the 1st season, the 2nd are must watch for continuity. medical drama.
-Keizoku 2 :SPEC : im not complete it yet (waiting for sub). im not watch the 1st season, but i understood its stand alone season and unrelated to each other. police-crime drama.
-GOLD : im not complete it yet (waiting for sub). sports-romantic-family drama.

mediocre /so-so list:
-Unubore Deka :funny as hell at certain points, recyling story each episodes. police-crime-comedy drama.
-Joker: Japanese Dexter. police-crime drama.
-Atami No Sousakan: mind-baffling, police-crime drama.
-Shinzanmono: police-crime-humanity drama.
-Hotaru No Hikari 2 :too girlish for me.. romantic-comedy drama.

avoid-it-like-plague list:
-Tsuki No Koibito :star studded, i love the casts, but awful drama.. romantic-corporate life drama.
