It´s not a Drama for everyone.

But I love it. By far, the most interesting Drama of the season. Interesting characters, dark humor and a good story with interesting plot twists and cliffhangers. Very different from the usual cliched j-dramas.

I had high expectations for this drama... but the first episoded was really bad. Terrible pace... boring story... cliched characters.. pretty disappointing so far. Let´s see if it gets better on the next 1 or 2 episodes, otherwise I´ll give up on it..

Boss was a good drama. Interesting characters and acting.
Aishiteru too. I enjoyed Boss a bit more, because I felt that sometimes, in Aishiteru, the plot dragged a bit.

Atashinchi no danshi and Mr Brain were ok but not memorable..

The rest.. meh..

I really dislike that story , it's such a neat concept and idea , I'm not sure how they could make it any more boring then it already is.
Ahhhhh.. great to know I´m not the only one who thinks that way. :cheers:

Yes.. after TVU stopped broadcasting japanese channels, I´ve turned my attention to TVants. Usually people can find the usual suspects, Fuji, NTV, NHK, TBS.. broadcast quality is not so bad either.

I don´t care about the chinese ads actually. I run TVants on full screen and they´re out.

I was away for 2 weeks.. got back to my pc and I have a few things to report about my tvuplayer: - I feel that the image quality on the japanese channels (specially fujitv and ntv) got a bit worse. I haven´t tried asahi, but TBS definitely seems a bit better than those two. Something to do with the ...

Well.. I enjoyed the movie a lot. But with this drama I couldn´t watch more than episode 2 . One of the weakest jdramas of this season IMHO. Very low tv ratings too.. Began with 13.5.. now it´s around half that... so I guess I´m not the only one to think that way....

Interesting.. but TVUplayer, even with some occasional hiccups, already streams almost all those channels for free. :-)

And probably streaming those channels is illegal anyway, so I would always think twice before paying for such a service..

BTW, these are the reasons why I really like Japanese Girls: 1. They are cute. 2. They like arts. 3. They are devoted. 4. They love to display children items. 5. They are fun-loving. 6. They are hard-working. (I hope that they have time for love.) 7. They are cheerful. 8. They are unique. (their me...
