Hello, could I please get an invite, too? Thank you very much =)

arakira

I've started subbing Gisou no Fuufu

But I'm a slow subber and it would probably be an ep every 2-3 weeks since I also have to re-time the jsubs

Also if there's somebody else who'd be faster with releases interested in the project I'd stop anytime.

arakira

Wow, I only found this now.
Been missing the old fansub map. Thanks a lot for this!!

arakira

You could also ask over at viki, at least they're trying to expand their Japanese content...
Here's the title request form

And they apparently got the license for Ghostwriter

arakira

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. *keeopingfingerscrossed*

arakira

Can this problem not be solved in any other way?

I can't change hosts file on this pc. So I won't be able use the fansubmap at all?
TBH with new season starting I think it's a shame that fansub map isn't easily accessible for those thinking about subbing a drama.

I LOVE EP2 :w00t: :cheers: The beginning was hilarious, I kept repeating it :lol Nishida Toshiyuki ... I have no word... he's just a genius :notworthy: I loved him as Tokugawa Hidetada. I loved him as Saito Dousan in Oda Nobunaga 1998 AND in this drama! The kakeai manzai (comical dialogues) between...

@ rootabega, thank you so much for this little snippet, can watch this with different eyes now.. Reading this Tadanobus faces from various scenes came to my mind. Also realized I must be mixing up 2 or 3 novels in my memory. :scratch: So you just made me order the book, too.^^ Gotta read once more i...

arakira

Finally finished watching ep3 and I'm totally in love with this drama. I've always enjoyed Tadanobu's acting, but I love him here. Same with Koyuki and Furuta ofc. This show is amazing, the styling, score, editing are all superb up till now. I'm also no longer confused about Banji's character. He se...

arakira

I'm watching this show for it's cast. Whoever was responsible for the casting deserves a major award :cheers: Not too sure if I like the story. All that talk about Ichigo's "protecting hand" and the not letting anybody die no matter what cheesy foundation isn't my cup of tea but thus far i...

arakira

First ep was hilarious. It's like a revue of your typical jdrama rom-com cliched characters...mix some Anego with some Hotaru no Hikari and add whatever 'women close to 40'sitcome you've got at hand et voilà - but funnily enough it worked out pretty well. Drama made me laugh a lot and I already enjo...

arakira

Finally found some time to watch the finale...Couldn't bring myself to do so cause I didn't want this show to end. :alcoholic: I'll miss Tada and Gyoten. Had my issues with the first couple of eps but now I wish it was just going on forever like the old American series used to... Well the ending scr...

arakira

@ rootabega totally agree with you bout the music. Glad they chose Sakamoto to do the score. XD The movie already had a great theme by one of my fav bands, Quruli and I'm glad they managed to keep this up for the drama. Never cared for Flower Companyz but Beautiful Dreamer is a nice song, too =) Fin...

arakira

@Nemesis4 try Ando Natsu. It's a nice slice of life drama bout a wagashi maker in Asakusa.

arakira

I really liked the movie and was looking forward to the series. It's not bad, but it just doesn't have the same feel as the movie. Tbh I think it'll be rather boring if u haven't watched the movie cause there's no explanation bout the characters or how they got to team up at Tada's... Thought I just...

arakira

@koitsu thanks for the reply!
Kk should have checked first. Embedded subs are great, keep up the good work! ;)

arakira

Episode 2 was much better than Ep1!! :cheers: The ending was soooo unexpected! Hahaa go Maki Yoko! I liked Ep1, but I have to say I was worried that the story will go stale, draggy then boring afterwards. Cause the pattern seem to be the typical -oldschool- love story. The female lead's rival is th...

First ep was pretty nice.

Yeah I'm also not too optimistic. But then if your country and mine manage to get along as neighbors, it's possible anywhere. And yeah I was referring to China.

Glad to see you Ara her, mah :wub: You finished Baker King? I dropped around ep 20-22. Is it worth it or more hysteria and crying? Yeah finished it. But no, ofc it wasn't worth it. One of the most horrible endings and before that all I remember of the drama was indeed hysteria and tears...But well ...

Yep. Loving ur humor and your upbeat nature...

@sunflower63 Nice pick to start with :-) I'm finally back with some time for kdrama =) Totally into Gaksital , only half way through catching up but I'm in love with the writers. Started A Gentleman's Dignity and that's also promising after first ep test. Couldn't resist and went for The Chaser. Oh ...

arakira

I am watching. Slowly catching up, taking my time and enjoying every second thus far. I'm also impressed by the actors. Joo Won made me sit through 50sth eps of Baker King and another like 30 of Ojagkyo Bro's and WOW, he's grown so much as an actor. Chun Ho Jin is totally getting to me, too. I absol...

Lol k-type, j-type. I don't give a f***. Quite liked the first ep. I'm hungry for some silly romance and I like ARATA. It's a bit overdrawn and I couldn't watch Shun's works at all lately but I guess I can tolerate him here. At least they didn't cast Eita for his role :P Plus I'm curious about all t...

Issy, well if you ladies were less tolerant everyone of u could kill me for what I dropped lately...

Sure Ori will forgive me and feel sorry for the poor gutterless old h...

Seems like I'm slowly getting into kdrama again. But then I think I'm still weird. Dropped Salaryman, TEN and Wild Romance cause i just couldn't get interested in the stories or characters. Kept watching Mushin and checked out Rooftop, Immortal Classic and Dummy Mommy. Loving Yucheon and his gang. R...

Finally managed to watch the finale and basically all there's to say is PERFECT! :wub: This show is a real gem and I already know I'll watch this over and over again. Ofc I had some issues with it but they're all minor things about minor characters. Really appreciate the ending, the last dialogue ma...

Just when I thought the series is loosing steam, ep. 09 is, IMHO, one of the best episode in any JDrama series I've watched in a long time. From the script to dialog, pacing, editing, acting, comedic timing, and even the camera work, every aspect is as close to perfection as I can imagine. :clap: I...

Yeah, hilarious pics. Just saw the teaser and it seems this will be pretty whacky. Good!

arakira

Only just noticed there's a topic for this series - this drama should get much more attention. Took me a while to get really into it but now I'm dying to see ep 8 while wishing this would go on for at least 20 eps. By far the best winter drama imo. I'm totally in love with the characters and the set...

^yeah. it's not that it was bad but all the promos and the cast leveled up my expectation a lot and it didn't quite reach it. Shotarou's concern for the client bothers me... when he touched the girl's cheek (in a brotherly way- bridge scene) it was an "eh" moment. i don't get all the conc...

Well if you want to take into account how much people can spend with their income you should look for GDI per capita with purchasing power parity rates (PPP).

kitty10 thanks for all the updates. Aww just a few more days to go.

Dropped all drama I'd started in the last couple of months...only one I finished was Vampire Prosecutor which was surprisingly good and had probably the best ending I've seen in years.

Trusted Issy's recs and started What's up and Padam today...hopefully I'll make it through one of them ;)

Maybe their bags n shoes etc are all just fakes ;) I agree...display of clothes etc isn't always realistic but well it's drama, you gotta make the ladies look good on TV ;) And about food...well that's almost nowhere as cheap as in the big EU countries, (esp germany) thx to ...

Well I do agree with the production quality, many jdrama just lack money and/or capable staff. I also agree that they don't really do your average rom-com.

@Sakari, HDI and IHDI say only very little about a country's health insurance system. Since both do not take those factors into direct account.

to be honest, both casting choices of Kiyomori's wives are bit of let down. Kato Ai? What a coincidence, I'm not that fond of her too, actually :mrgreen: But she's okay, I don't mind her.
