Re: [Question] Is this scene dying?
I was happy to see this thread because this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. My answer would be "God I hope not!" I've been following j-dramas since about 2009 and besides the stories themselves, they've really given me a great peek into daily life in Japan. This past Fe...

Re: So.. What was the first drama you watched??
Mine was A Million Stars Falling from the Sky. I didn't know what a big star Kimutaku was but I really liked the dark nature of the story.

Re: What happened to Jdramacity?
This is so sad but I so appreciate all of your work, furransu. You've helped introduce and keep me connected to a culture and entertainment I love, and for that I am truly and deeply thankful.

I have to agree with the other posters who said the mysteries in Season 2 weren't nearly as good as those in the first Season. And I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads; it felt like Fukuyama was just going through the motions. I do have two questions about the final mystery, in ep 11. Not s...

I've watched the first 4 eps and the only one I like is #2 with Sakaguchi because I felt the mystery was the most complex and the pacing was good. Usually in mysteries the story can take one of 2 approaches: who did it or why'd they do it. If it's revealed early on who did it I think the discovery o...

Can someone help me with the sequence of the series, SPs amd movies? I've watched seasons 1 and 2, have ep zero but haven't watched because I need subs, saw the movie and now I have two specials Alice in Liar Game and Liar Game Reborn. Which do I watch first? I'd hate to start watching something and...

So far I've only watched ep 1. I like the story and the male characters are good but I find the lead woman ridiculous. I don't know how much money Japanese detectives make but you never see anyone in the NYPD carrying an Hermes bag, and this woman is schlepping that huge bag to every crime scene. I ...

Overall I really liked this drama. The first ep was killer - Aoi Yu nailed it! Other eps were good but IMO just didn't measure up to the high bar set by the first. I loved the cinematagoraphy and totally agree with another posters' comment about how the cinematography reflected the lack of color in ...

I wanted to see this because I am a huge fan of Kanno-san but even she couldn't save this drama for me... I thought ARATA was great in Chase but I didn't buy him here as a romantic lead. He just seemed so fragile and overly emotionally. I wasn't happy that he and the Naoko character ended up togethe...

I didn't love this series... To me it felt like a poor man's Galileo meets Hanchou. I didn't think the lead actress was very good; she only had like two or three facial expressions. I usually can't stand Yokoyama Yu (I don't think he was ready for the leading roles he's had) but I think he did a dec...

I just started watching this series and I think it's great. Love the directing in particular. I have a question though, because I don't speak or read japanese. When Toma starts the process of solving the crime by painting on large sheets of paper, is she making kanji characters. Like I say, I don't ...

I got through the first 2 eps but I'm going to pass on the rest of this series. I definitely think it's a ripoff of Criminal Minds, but a very poor one. The writing is very contrived, the production very gimmicky and the acting is poor. Character development is weak, they're more caricatures than de...

I am sticking with this drama because I do like the chemistry between Oguri and Mizushima. I have to say though that I find the telephone calls from Takakura's mother really annoying. It doesn't make any sense to me why she would be calling her son so often while he's on duty, for such stupid things...
