Re: RECOMMENDED/FAVORITE JDRAMAS (ask for suggestions here)

i think of wakako zake as the female version of kodoku no gurume. they are both excellent, quiet, low-stress series [at least up to kng 4 and wz 2]. except for when wakako throws her boyfriend into the refrigerator . which is not as stressful as it sounds but completely uncalled for. maybe italian f...

Re: [Discussion] Long Vacation

I wonder what makes something have a classic feel. Is it just that it was one I watched a long time ago? Or as in LV because it launched all those acting careers? Or because it had a specific feel? Or because of its music? Or popular? I just watched a few episodes of Yamato Nadeshiko (jem) and it fe...

Interesting how both of you concluded that it is a hardware issue. I don't think it is. All video players perform scaling, else small monitors would never work.
