Ryuusei no Kizuna

i dont know where to find a better place to download it..

im used to visit jdramazone.com or warez-bb.. its OK with other drama, usually 400-600 mb per episode..

only huge files available for this series (1.2-1.5 gb per episode).. thats quiet absurd n im not that patient nor my ISP speed can afford that..

can anyone here can recommend a better site /better way to download this drama?

psst.. im realised its against a rules to post it download links but if anyone want to help, pls PM me

Bloody Monday

im very late for this series. 2nd season already broadcasted and completed in March 2010.

just watched 2 first episode (season 1) last night. quiet OK, and i might like it. not that impressive, but still very watchable. will continue and complete it..

a story about a teen hacker helping Japanese police to counter possible bio chemical attack in Tokyo. its recurrence theme (if u watched Hollywood too much)

no stand out performance by the casts so far..

Mother (Apr - June 2010)





anyone watched this series? just want to taste a different genre. looked like bucket-of-tears type drama..

the last drama i've a little tears while watching is Tokyo Tower.. 1 Litre of Tears pinched my soft side too..

Shiroi Haru, decent drama.. had a few touching moments, slow pace though..

im a big fan Hiroshi Abe, so ive no problem to kept on that pace.. its well worth watching at the end.

agree. i dont think ill give any thought to watch that drama if somebody else play Abe's role..

em, he looked sooo old in Shiroi Haru, but looked more younger and well groom in Shinzanmono (the latter are 2010 drama)

(my GF once said when she watched Shiroi Haru, 'this is your fav actor? oh this granpa looked so old, 50 y.o?')

em, and i dont think he gave a good performance in romantic role. i dont recall any actually (certainly im not watch all his drama esp on his younger days)

Bloody Monday

just finished the series last night.

not so good, but not so bad. the plot are decent, twisting and unpredictable, but the execution and acting are poor.

these young-ling are too weak and should never be allowed to lead a criminal drama like this. they (the Falcon and J especially) always tried to look cool, but totally unconvincing. perhaps, the target audiences are youngsters, i might fall in a wrong category here..

IMO, Japanese never produce a good hi tech criminal /police drama (from what ive seen). so many illogical scenes, lame and time wasting scenario. gun fight scenes are terrible..

ill not wasting my time for the 2nd season. overall rating 5/10.

give me the title if u remember..

i mentioned hi-tech crime drama. cyber crime, bio chemical assault, state of the art forensic equipment, etc (like Mr Brain, Bloody Monday, etc). IMO they just Hollywood wannabe. maybe i watched too much CSI or Hollywood stuff. unfair to compare them..

crime drama /films involving conservative crime like police-against-Yakuza, normal-murder-case (like in Galileo, Unfair, Rondo etc), Japanese still OK ish.. and they had more human touch /feeling compare to Hollywood's..

This post has been edited by dundermifflin: Jul 15 2010, 03:11 PM

i watched Tokyo Dogs, entire 1st season, not rated much. just 3 pretty faces, 1 with sense of humour (he's cool BTW), 1 tried to look too cool all the time and 1 clueless cute girl. still OK overall but if they make a sequel, ill not bother to watch it.

police-crime JDrama.. not many i've considered it as good or great..

i think Galileo are the best police-crime JDrama i ever watch. its offer something different (maybe coz i like physic). and the hero is pretty cool. but Galileo Suspect X are quiet disappointing.. Galileo Episode Zero are so-so, but Masami Nagasawa save the day, love her much .. but they tried too much to emulate Numb3rs (Hollywood).. WTH with all the numbers and equations related to crime solving..

Kurosagi are the other one.. family-revenge drama always caught my attention. Kurosagi SP are quite disappointing coz i expected a conclusion. instead, they just hanging on without any..

Rondo are OK too.. Trick 1-2-3 may fall into that category(+comedy), its very hilarious.. Nakama Yukie at her best with Abe Hiroshi..

Mr Brain -meh, its disappointing coz Takuya Kimura in there. i expected much maybe.. but ive to say i got many new n useful knowledge through out the series..

BOSS - ive downloaded it but still finding time to watch it (i heard its good, award winning series)

Shinzanmono -still watching, but ill never give it beyond 6/10 rating..

2009 Lost Memories -not watch it yet..

Hotaru no Hikari

watched a few early episodes last night.. definitely not my cup of tea..

Haruka, she tried too much and overdo her silliness. bragging every little things, etc.

her cute face saved the day, but i cant stand it and not bother to complete my watching.. i copied and gave it to my GF, ive deleted it from my HD.

very girlish.. 3/10 from me..

do u guys watched Liar Game?

i watched season 1 and 2. now anticipate the final episode they call Final Stage..

was released last March but i still didnt find any download able copy /link around..

ehem, Code Blue 2 are better than than the previous season. if u like the 1st one, im quiet certain u'll love the 2nd one.. its rare to see a sequel better..

Galieo The Movie are total disappointment.. the case arent complex, and u already know the criminal right at the beginning.. no elements of surprise, simple murder, brilliance of Galileo (in physic) arent needed in this case..

Tsuki No Koibito aka Moon Lovers

like others was saying in this very forum, this series are real flop. the plots are weak, so-so performances from the cast, etc. they tried to build up love /hate complexes between 5 main characters, but i didnt feel any of it. im rather put an interest to the corporate rivalry.

3/10.

for Summer 2010, ill try

>GOLD <-- Nagasawa Masami
>Hammer Session!
>Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan

just random choices, hopefully its good..

Nakama Yukie?

its going to be waste. ive watched it..

(this drama, ive downloaded all completely then watched it back to back. IMHO, its waste of time )

still, if u want to give a try, just watch the 1st and 2nd episode. u'll be total in disappointment. actually it arent sooo bad, just so-so and until now, ive watched it until 6th episode. not sure whether i want to finish it or not..

the casts are big names and so popular, thats why it got very high rating..

i love Trick a lot.. watched all 3 seasons.

only now i noticed Trick had so much sequels..

Trick Season 1 (2000)
Trick Season 2 (2002)
Trick The Movie 1 (2003)
Trick Season 3 (2003)
Trick SP 1 (2005)
Trick The Movie 2 (2006)
Trick The Movie 3 (2010)
Trick SP 2 (2010)

did Trick are the most JDrama had a sequels /seasons / movies followed after initial season?

still waiting for eng sub for these current drama
>Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan [2010]
>Gold [2010]

beside d-addicts (still not available on there), where i can find it?

PMed, tq.

em, what current JDrama you watching right now?
