Does anyone think that the whole Keito issue is exaggerated? (Like her sister being bullied, her being looked at very differently because of her acting failure.) As I recall - and it's been quite a while since I read the manga, plus I'm waaaay behind on reading it - in the manga it's made MUCH more...

I don't know what torrent program you're using and I'm NOT an expert at any of them so I can't really give you advice, but there is a lot of information out there about getting the program set up, ports forwarded, etc. to maximize y...

I've managed to fight threw all the dramas I've started but 2. <snip> Binbo Dashi. I love Oguri Shun but that character angered me so much I just couldn't take it. I don't know how far you watched, but Binbo Danshi does get better after the first few episodes...not *great*, but better, and Oguri Sh...

Binbo Danshi - watched Ep. 1 but I find people who are *that* stupid with money irritating rather than comical, so I'm having a hard time getting back to it Iryu - watched Ep. 1-2, but it's a lot darker/more serious than I really enjoy, so again, having trouble getting back to it...

Also remember that makeup that looks good on stage or on camera is not always going to look that good in the "real world". :blink

Overall I thought this was a very well-done drama, but... I could see the plot "twist" coming from miles away, which was kind of disappointing. The site where I originally read a description of the series said something like "even if you think you have it figured out, the ending will ...

I voted "other"... Nobody I know really teases me about them, though some people just say, "uh..." and give me a blank stare when I say I watch Japanese TV. The responses are much more interesting when I tell people I'm trying to learn Japanese so I can read manga! :roll My mom i...
