It's been a long time since I watched something I don't mind watching over and over again. It's funny and sometimes serious without being over the top. I especially love the bickering btw Chiaki and Wahei, and Noriko's laughter. I went rewatching the last few eps and realised that Mariko started fal...

shioki

I read that she was in Osaka for this play during the quake. She should be alright...if the tsunami doesn't hit there (it probably won't...being pretty far south)

shioki

I was watching ep8 just now, and I saw some similarity btw Saki and a stalker! She specialises in stalking Shun, and even thinks that Shun is hers. Just like a pervert who stalks a pretty woman and thinks that she's him. Shun is probably confused by Saki's word. If I was Shun, I would be confused to...

shioki

^ I wouldn't say Saki blames Eriko for the death. I think it's more of jealous/hatred because her son died instead of others. Also, Hayato never smiled much in the photos. Maybe the family wasn't as happy as Eriko's was...with the father having a fling outside, and maybe the mother aka Saki's relati...

shioki

I don't really get what that female employee is doing, but if she's the "Die" caller, then Saki just gained another 'helper'! And I think Saki probably wanted Eriko to experience the same thing she did. The husband having an affair, and the missing son... I don't really understand even af...

shioki

Saki got pretty agitated in ep4. I guess saki is really the mother of the dead boy. They dropped quite a number of hints in the previous eps too. Maybe that dead boy father already had an affair even before the boy drowned. That's probably why she told Eriko about all the affair thing. But I still w...

shioki

Nakama is getting more sadako. Esp with that creepy beckoning at the end of ep2. Saki's house must be haunted by sadako lol. If I'm Eriko, I would never ever walk towards that haunted house. I also think Saki might really be the mother of the drowned boy mother. Her reaction when they were talking a...

shioki

the chemistry between ueto and takenouchi is definitely there. they even had the chemistry off-screen.

shioki

True. Nakama's drama are usually bad to watch other then trick and yankumi, but I also loved her non-kind role in mr brain. Nakama is simply a sadako here...so scary, but that's why I liked her here. There was a SP that aired before ep1. Did anyone watch that? I heard it contained lots of spoilers.....

shioki

I'm looking forward to this show. Just watched the trailer on the official site...and somehow...I'm getting that Sadako/Meiko-vibes from Nakama.

shioki

What do you mean she managed to stay alive for so long after taking the same pill as the guy in the first episode? Well, Meiko had time to wait for Mashima to run over, before saying her last words and loss consciousness. That seems pretty long compared to the guy in ep1 who just collapsed. And, I ...

HAHA. I only notice how un-lion his hair became, and HAD to replay that scene a few times before realizing....oh, it's combed!

shioki

I'm watching...though I'm just slightly behind :) But I finally finished it. The whole series was a joke. The cases was badly thought out, so I'm simply watching this for Shinohara and Oizumi (my fav Haken pairing)...well that's the only reason why I started this in the first place though :P Taxes a...

shioki

The drama went well, other than a few plotholes, but the ending was disappointing. I was waiting for Meiko to be killed the whole time, and Mashima to continue as a detective, but no, they didn't. Meiko and Mashima HAD to pull off a Remeo and Juliet play, and turn that place into a haunted spot. The...

I just watched ep8 and... I'm gonna erase the idea of "Meiko sister is the Boss" from my head. She and Meiko seems to be on pretty good term. Ep9 looks really interesting. Mashima is gonna find out that Meiko has been planning the revenge all along. No wonder her house never appeared. Abou...

shioki

Well...basically anyone with a cameo related to the main character is a likely suspect. Can I add the sister into the list of suspects too? She might even be alive (Meiko didn't visit her grave, did she?) :O She committed suicide, but she didn't die (maybe coma or something) and that's how Meiko obt...

I've watched the obvious shows such as "Trick" and "Gokusen" and have recently watched "Joshi Deka!" and "Untouchable" but I was wondering what other things were around with her in; preferably sub-titled (as I only speak bad English). You can try Mr Brain. Sh...

I prefer Dojima's guilty. Sounds more akuma-ish...like a snake or something with the hissing at the end.

@snow of dawn. If what you said is true, then Mari is just like her, angry over a breakup and pissed off at the new gf aka Meiko. But Mari is much stupider to bother herself with Meiko and ignore her police duties. Wiki may not be true (that source lacks citation too)...but that made me Lol. By the ...

shioki

Thank god it isn't rape. That crazy guy only takes pleasure in killing, so I guess he won't do that. I just watched ep7 and...Mashima and Mari starts to prove that they're police. Wow, they're finally making some process with the case. I just hope Meiko doesn't die :( esp since she started getting ...

I don't think Kanaya hanged himself, I think he strangled himself, that's why he was starting to twist the tie around his neck after looping it around the exercise equipment. The equipment would give him the brace to twist the tie tightly, rather than allowing the weight of his body to cause the st...

shioki

After watching ep6. The mystery unravel. Everything makes sense after these. Why Meiko knows so much? Why did Dojima point the detectives towards Miwa? I guess I'm wrong. Dojima, not Miwa, HAD something to do with Meiko. Meiko probably had difficulty finding evidences on her own, and need help from ...

shioki

Anyone saw the chemistry book Meiko had in ep1? Maybe she learned how to. The murder took place 15 years ago, and she was jailed for 13 year. She had, maybe, 1 year to study? Hmm, but mixing chemicals is really dangerous. Getting the poison from her helper is definitely more feasible. Even if Meiko...

shioki

Meiko finally found out Mashima is a police. I can hardly wait for the next ep. So Kanaya hanged himself. how did he die from by hanging himself from such a low spot? I don't think it's possible to die that way Agree :D . I also thought "what a QUICK suicide, considering the low spot from whic...

shioki

This is an unexpectedly refreshing drama. I think Maria was really sad because she wasn't informed. After all, she made that gift for their marriage. And the donor thing just made things worse. When the mother said お父さんと　あの人が生きてたらマリアを　助けられたのかしら, I think Kengo and Maria shared the same father, but ...

^ About why Mashima is discriminated against, it did start with his partner dying and him being at fault in a way. Before that he was an elite with a promising career in front of him but when that happened he was put in a place where he would never be promoted (and probably never fired) and where h...

shioki

yup...ep3 just aired on tue. Meiko is just like Yukiho in Byakuyako. Yukiho harms the innocent, but she doesn't show any remorse and has someone to push the blame to. hmm...maybe not. Meiko is much kinder. leon seems to be pretty well-trained. he only barks at the pregnant wife, and then return to t...

shioki

Ep3 re-confirmed her kindness towards the innocent. She had no intentions to destroy the girl operation, and cried because she killed the girl's father (probably?) It's also apparent that Nogami's mother hate her, maybe even before the murder took place. I wonder why...she doesn't seem to hate Nogam...

shioki

As for why she's out of prison already, a lot of the time "life" just means 15 years. I think Meiko is a good person in her heart but being falsely charged and spending that time in prison changed her and made her want revenge so badly that she's able to do cruel things in order to achiev...

shioki

Somehow, Shinohara are always paired with younger guys in her more popular dramas. :D I guess it would be the same in this drama too (this is afterall, her first lead after the hiatus). And I don't see any potential female character in that investigation place to pair up with Okada. On the contrary,...

shioki

This drama seems pretty heavy with all the disease and the evil brother. I think that's probably due to the liver transplant. Because there's the selling organs thing, so the doctors are very strict on who the donor is. If it's a total stranger, maybe the donating will be really troublesome. Shota l...

It's a japan band. And should be pretty new. This is their website. They wrote on that website that they're doing a song for guilty.

That's my first time hearing this name too. But do check out their other songs. I think they sound pretty decent

shioki

The insert song at the beginning is by The New Classics. I think the single is gonna be released next month...songs for the autumn dramas are usually released 1 month later. ep2 is looking good. but she's only targeting 1 person here. Her target is Matsunaga Seiichi, the lawyer who handled her case ...

I've never watched the original version, but the chief is pretty comical. I don't get his lame jokes too, but it's his face that's funny! Esp in ep 1 when he was testing for poison . Toma and Sebumi as the violent + weirdo pair reminds me of nodame, except that Toma isn't a super weirdo like nodame,...

shioki

Judging from ep1, this is a must watch. There are many police dramas, and they usually center around the police, not the villain (eg. Byakuyako).

I'm gonna be evil this season, and watch Kanno's char kill off the people who wronged her with her cleverly evil ways

shioki

I watch liar game for their games too. The movie is pretty mind-boggling. The strategies Akiyama used are simple sometimes, but I just couldn't figure them out until he says it.

I, too, think the ending leaves a lot of questions - Formalin-kun? The bandaged patient? The photograph? The Sakamoto assassination? Then again, the drama is based on the manga that is still ongoing.

You can try Trick. It is mainly based on solving puzzling mysteries, like what the title said. It has more humor than Liar game too, and there's chemistry between Nakama Yukie and Abe Hiroshi.

Just finished ep1. The mask of liar game's host looks badly disfigured lol...
