jongski Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 @lolavic1 Yeah I'm with you. Also another favorite of mine! Every Kimura Takuya fan ( like us!) will always remember and love that drama! The Long Vacation... another one of the jdramas, I don't wanna see a remake or another version. I don't know why. Currently watching Crisis eps 4-5 .When I like drama, even if it's raw and I don't understand dialogue, I watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite Kimura Takuya dramas. It's dark, emotional, and mysterious. At first, I wasn't thrilled because the ones I like I don't want a remake ie: Orange Days or Pride (yeah that's ultimate fav!) however, it got me excited. I read tvN will do the k-version. What do you think? I hope they have excellent cast for the version. @jongski Seriously?! *runs off to google* I will definitely watch it! (If it happens.) I have to say that I'm a little surprised. I have a hard time imagining that kind of a dark story in a new Kdrama. I expect that this version might be significantly different from the original, which is not a bad thing in and of itself. I know that we probably won't be getting any details soon, but I'm dying to know which actors will be in it. I'm also hoping for an excellent cast! I'm still waiting for any news about the Korean remake of 1999 Jdrama Ice World that was mentioned a while ago. That one would make an awesome OCN thriller. @lolavic1 I love Long Vacation too. You and jongski have made me nostalgic by mentioning these dramas. I want to go rewatch them now.

The end of episode 5 will probably make you smile. Remember that scum from episode 2 who was hinted to be behind the prostitution and murder cases, Spoiler yet got away with it and went on to become the chief cabinet secretary? Well, he gets arrested on child prostitution charges, courtesy of superintendent Kaji. I don't understand why Kaji couldn't do this right away in episode 2 though. Saving underage girls and punishing criminals was not enough of a motivation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jongski Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 @ina111 exactly. If k-version is confirmed, hmmm I can see the usual "hallyu" suspects for the leads.. but hope it's someone new and raw but with acting skills! As for Ice World, I'm not familiar with the drama. Now I have to check that. At some point, I can see in the horizon q k version of Death Note, or something like Rich Man, Poor Woman. The kind of dramas that will appeal to locals in a kdrama style. There was a version of Shinya Shokodu ( Midnight Diner) 2015 I think but.. drama catered to mature viewers. But anyway.... When will Hanzai Shokogun be sub? I watched all episodes raw. I know what's happening based from the story plot but it's raw have no idea what's going on. and who is who's the hooded guy? Is he bad??? or he's going to help our lead? Also Chiisana Kyojin is still raw I but I watched. Can you please recap just the main points, was our lead MPD (dunno the character name) set up hence he was demoted to the work on other side of police dept? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolavic1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Today I plan to start watching the new series “I Love You, but I Have a Secret”. Who watched it? is it good choiсe? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ina111 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 @jongski I'm not sure what's going on with the subs. I had fully expected that some fansub group would pick up those shows, but no luck so far. I noticed that Koi ga heta, my current guilty pleasure , isn't getting subs either. It's surprising, because all three of them seem like mainstream shows that would draw enough interest. The hooded guy from Hanzai Shoukougun Spoiler I had to go back and peek into the episodes to check - are you asking about him? Genius/ Takumi played by Jun Kaname. He's definitely a bad guy. He is the mastermind behind the child kidnappings. He befriended Sakiko online and recruited her for that part time job of babysitting the kidnapped kids. The poor woman thought that she was interviewing kids as a part of market research for a toy company. The guy bringing the kids to Sakiko is Takumi's brother. Takumi is a misfit with a major superiority complex. When the brother asked him why they don't demand more money as ransom (in episode 1 @37:07), Takumi replied (rough translation, just to give you a feel for the character)"You don't understand anything. The objective is not money. In this world there are too many people whose existence is worthless. They continue living carefree, without feeling ashamed about their low levels of intellect, the silly, stupid masses. I will make those ignorant people realize... who rules this society/world." Actually, I'm a little frustrated with that show at the moment (ep 5 in particular), but I plan to keep watching until the end. Chiisana Kyojin seems like a hard show to watch without subs. Spoiler The lead, Kosaka, made a mistake when he tried to detain that driver for a sobriety check. He did that because he knew that the local police department's detectives thought that there was something suspicious about the suicide of his ex girlfriend. (The investigation so far is all related to that apparent suicide case.) The newspaper article claimed that Kosaka was drunk at the time and that he subjected the driver to forceful questioning, and that the car was damaged as a result. Kosaka's boss, division chief Onoda could have protected him, but he told the inspector general that Kosaka did indeed consume alcohol during the dinner meeting. Hence Kosaka's demotion from the MPD headquarters to a local police station. Someone leaked the fact that Kosaka was drinking at the dinner meeting to the press to get him in trouble, but that seems to be the extent of the "set up". In a later episode Kosaka comes to suspect that Onoda is dirty and that he had an ulterior motive for demoting him, but that was before Kosaka had all the facts. The jury is still out on Onoda though. This is one of those shows where friends and enemies aren't easy to distinguish. I'm curious about what happened to Kosaka's father. Like Kosaka, he also wanted to become chief of the First Investigation Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziraphale Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Halfway through Border, it's been solid so far. As for the k-remakes of Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi and Koori no Sekai... big fat no. The gall... especially after what they did to Nodame! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
