Does anyone that has seen this series recommend it? The ratings weren't so great, but sometimes that doesn't necessarily mean a bad drama.

Hello! I just started this third installment of TVB's fireman-based series. The first series was the best and had characters that really drew me in as well as a good climax in the plot. The second series was not a standout for me. And now we're at the third so what do you think? My thoughts so far (...

I grew up watching HK dramas and so watched them exclusively for a long time. Probably just in the recent years I've picked up a few Taiwanese dramas from here to there starting with Meteor Garden. I agree with some of the previous posts that both have their merits and both have areas that need impr...

I didn't know the part about the writer thinking of Vic when he wrote the part, but I do agree he's doing a good job at picking different roles for himself (if indeed he does.. the system they have in Asia is a little reminiscent of old Hollywood it seems). Yeah people get type cast all the time in...

Not many wuxia/fantasy come to my mind. You can try Wind & Cloud, The Sword and the Chess of Death, Chinese Paladin and Devil's Disciples. For pure wuxia, you can try out what Airhead mentioned. In addition, you might want to try out The Duke of Mount Deer 1984, Legend of the Condor Heroes 1994...

Except CP2 is a sequal of CP1, other games in the CP series are not that relevant to CP1. Therefore, JingTian is definitely not Li Xiao Yao, but later on in the game you'll discover that JingTian is the in fact the master of Li Xiao Yao's father. Yes, the setting of CP3 is 50 years before CP1 =) Hu...

I thought they did this one pretty well too. I feel like the production team put some thought in the music selection. I really like the soundtrack and it fits the show. I think Vic Zhou is doing choosing different characters to act to challenge himself. Actually, I saw on one of the interviews that ...

I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Yuan Hong so here it is! He starred as Ye Lu Xie in Shao Nian Yang Jia Jiang and most recently as Yang Kang in Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008. I think he's a great actor and very versatile.

As for the point that America always copies and never comes up with anything on it's own, well the film and TV industry in America isn't the only one to do so. China, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, and others always do remakes of Japanese dramas/manga, and Japan does the same. "Maou" anyone? T...

I'd agree with TLab that j doramas allow for more realistic scenarios than the American Shows. There are more series that the average person like you or me can relate with in real life whereas in American shows, shows always focus on the extraordinary and not the ordinary. It's because in American c...

Hello Valcun. For what it's worth, I understand what you feel. The fake smiling, the small talk, the acting like everything is all good and well. I do it but I hate it. The part where you don't feel like you fit in anywhere specifically. The thoughts of "what would happen if I died", and w...

oh icic... hehehe. i guess i don't get out enough^^.

yukino2002

what's blackbird?

yukino2002

You don't know how much I agree!! Yeah, I watch about 1-2 dramas per season too. And even those sometimes I don't finish entirely. I miss the caliber of the late 90s early 00s dramas.

The occasional manga-derived drama feels fresh but now the industry is inundated with them. ~__~

yukino2002

Yeah, I guess we all feel similarly about recent drama choices. I tend to lag behind the season so I can see what kind of reception the new dramas get and just watch the popular ones.

Sometimes I can't help just watching for eye candy though hehehe.

I'd go for Vic~~

I just watched the first episode, but I couldn't understand a lot of it -- especially when they were talking about the steel industry and banking and such. :-( I'm kinda wondering what happens to there family b/c Teppei (Kimutaku) narrates after their family portrait that it was the last time they p...

1. Love Generation
2. Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi
3. Trick

I can't help it, Kimutaku got me hooked on to jdoramas in the first place ^__^.

A drama about an OL who works for a ladies' magazine. Year after year, she spends her birthday at work, and when she finally finds the guts to quit the job, she ends up being transferred to the Manga Department of the company and is put in charge of one of the best selling mangakas, Hanazono Yuriko....

If you like Orange Days, you will probably love the writer Kitagawa Eriko as she is the one who wrote us the masterpiece. Her CV includes long vacation, overtime, award winning beautiful life and many more. I suggest you go to this link and try to get all her dramas. http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kitag...

I haven't seen the movie but so far, I've seen up to eps 4 and it's pretty good. It starts out with Matsuko's niece receiving the news from her parents that her aunt has died. The niece has to clean up Matsuko's house. The police suspect that Matsuko was murdered. In the present, they try to uncover...

Yeah, I'm going for Level 1!!! Wish me luck!

yukino2002

Oh wow~ I think I'm going to miss Miyazaki Aoi but the new Shin looks a little more fitting than the previous Shin. In the previous movie he didn't look young enough to be 15.

yukino2002

This is a very interesting subject. I personally have a hard time deciding who I want to say is a good actor. Someone mentioned earlier that with actors like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, you never forget that it's them on the screen no matter what role they play. Other actors are convincing to the ...

now that u mention it... i do see a resemblance.

i also spend most of my time d/ling jdoramas. although i don't mind watching the occasional american show~ Lost, Project Runway (although i don't really like this current season), Grey's Anatomy. the best thing about d-addicts is no commercials.

Honestly if it wasn't for NwP, I wouldn't even know who Yamapi is. But now that I know, I see his appeal. He's definitely physically attractive~ I like what he's done to his body in the past year, makes him look lots more manly. I also like his versatility in acting~ I saw him Kurosagi, Dragon Zakur...

I just finished watching this drama and I do highly recommend it especially if you are in the mood for something dark like I was. The first episode is slow so you really have to be in the right mood to get hooked but I liked how the relationship between Kimutaku and Fukatsu Eri was built. HUGE SPOIL...

I just rented this movie last week. I'm a huge Kubozuka Yousuke fan but I also like Edisen Chen in this movie~~~well, his character was more likeable in any case.

yukino2002

My ultimiate fave would be Kimutaku and Matsu Takako. They were just too sweet together in Love Generation.

My runner ups would be:
Abe Hiroshi & Nakama Yukie in Trick
Kaneshiro Takeshi & Fukada Kyoko in Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake

Ahh.... a few months ago I would have said none and yet now I've become a Yamapi fan SO YAMAPI!! I became a fan after NwP and I do love actors that are versatile. I haven't really seen Jin act - I know he's in Gokusen2 and Anego, but I haven't seen those dramas through. and Kame.... is a little too ...

yukino2002

I luv watching Odagiri Joe. He's my latest obsession~~~he's hot PLUS he's pretty dynamic in the roles he does. From sweet and cuddly in Satorare to burdened and detached in Tentai Kansoku to funny and offbeat in Jikou Keisatsu. I have to check out some of his movies soon
