If you believe the police are in any way as they're depicted in jdramas, then you'd have to believe the Japanese police are amongst the world's most incompetent of coppers. I'm just referring to the sexism at work. It wouldn't be surprising if females are treated inferior to men since Japan tends t...

Anyone else not dig the flagrant overuse of "tell me how I should feel" music?

Mmmm, had to check if 'draggy' was even a word, or just a lazy expression.

My big brick of a dictionary doesn't recognize it, but it seems the online dictionaries do.

Wow, so many pretty boys. I guess that's the norm these days.

Watanabe Ken would be my choice.

I think I'm in love with Kichise Michiko, she's gorgeous.

Thought the series was quite average, would have prefered if it was darker.

Have this on my to read list, it's been sitting in my library for a couple of years now, just can't seem to bring myself to open it. Looks like a difficult read, is it?

Also, for my work I'm reading lots of boring books without a plot, like Xinzhong Yao: An Introduction to Confucianism , Joseph Campbell: The Masks of Gods , Mircea Eliade: Shamanism , etc. Those books don't sound boring to me, your work sounds like it's pretty interesting. What do you do, if you do...

Mmm, would love to get a Kindle, having your whole library at your disposal when travelling would be awesome. Just can't get used to reading on a screen. Currently reading: A Long Way Down - Nick Hornby , very funny. Snakes & Earrings - Hitomi Kanehara , when on the toilet. The Secret Teachings ...

So glad I watched this, has been a long time since I've enjoyed a dorama.

What books do you have on the go at the moment?

Do tell.

I think genres and material such as Fruits Basket and Ouran High School Host Club, if remade into live-action movies, should remain within the Japanese entertainment industry. This type of humour wouldn't translate well to a western audience, nor would they be able to do it as well as the Japanese. ...

I do realise stories are constantly being told and retold but do people not get bored with the regurgitation of this particular story line??? I can understand remakes once in a while to appeal to newer generations but the most recent adaption in recent years, ie, the Gokusen series, were just a very...

Disgustingly sweet series.

Loved every second of it!

I dunno, for me, the Korean (Pop) Music Industry represents everything that's wrong with the Music Industry today.

Not a popular opinion but nevertheless, only an opinion.

Not sure what show's you've watched and liked for a baseline, but these might work for you: Thriller : Yasha Romance: Long Vacation Utahime Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (more comedy emphasis, but not the overacting kind) Crime/Mystery: Galileo Warui Yatsura Gonzo Densetsu no Keiji Ikebukuro West Gate Park ...

I apologise for not browsing through this thread but at 200+ pages long, I cannot be fucked. Am in need of some help, need someone to save my faith in Japanese Dramas. The last couple of dramas I've watched have left me reeling. It felt like the writers of the shows were observing, pointing, laughin...

Think it's safe to say I'll be steering way clear of it.

Anyone else find this drama absolutely infuriating to watch?

If you want other interesting movies, but not necessarily ones you'll want to own, I recommend either "Sonatine" (a 1993 movie starring Kitano Takeshi ) or "Bounce Ko-Gals" (1997, directed by Harada Masato). They're definitely not easy movies, but interesting nonetheless. I know...

It is truly amazing how so many people made it through seasons 2 & 3 and the movie.
