Does anyone remember Haken no Hinkaku, which aired in 2007? I just found out there is a Season 2 that just started a few days ago, can't wait to watch this!

Yeah. Eagerly waiting for subs.

 

I was sad when it was delayed by the pandemic, like most of the Jdrama in this season did. I can't wait to see Shinohara Ryoko and Oizumi Yo having the curly hair bickerings again!

Halfway through Kore wa Keihi de Ochimasen, pretty solid drama so far and Tabe Mikako is doing well.

[snow_angel]

Eien no Nishipa

 

 

Cast:

Matsumoto Jun, Fukada Kyoko, Eguchi Yosuke

 

 

 

[Aziraphale]

Finished Kore wa Keihi de Ochimasen, a solid workplace drama.

 

Halfway through Iari Mienai Kao, suitably disturbing. Also started Unsung Cinderella, a tad too dramatic and somewhat unrealistic. Too little of Tanaka Kei, sigh.

Cast:

Shibasaki Kou, Miura Haruma, Takahashi Issei, Kobayashi Kaoru, Ichihara Hayato, Yagira Yuya, Nanao, Suda Masaki, Sugimoto Tetta, Zaizen Naomi, Kanjiya Shihori, Abe Sadao, Ichikawa Ebizō XI 

 

Shibasaki Kou at her best.

Todome no Kiss (2018)

 

 

I feel I don't need to present this drama because many people have watched it already, so yeah I'm late to the party but I wanted to watch something different and maybe darker.

[Aziraphale]

Iari Mienai Kao is pretty solid, really liked the music.

 

Four episodes into Hanzawa Naoki and it's pretty gripping for a banking drama. Sakai Masato is brilliant and I'm loving Hanzawa's relationship with his wife. The Osaka setting totally rocks.

Switched on Netflix! It is a good drama!

Finished Hanzawa Naoki season 1. Brilliant drama. Looking forward to season 2.

 

Started Banjo no Alpha for Tamaki Hiroshi <3

 

Three episodes into Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru, it's quite soapy but watchable. Leads are doing fine but Yokohama Ryusei needs a new hairstyle stat.

[snow_angel]

Honjitsu mo Hare. Ijo Nashi / Clear Skies. No Incidents

 

 

 

Cast:

Sakaguchi Kenji, Matsushita Nao, Aoki Munetaka

 

Really good slice of life drama. 

 

[Instamixes]

[snow_angel]

Unsung Cinderella

 

 

Cast:

Ishihara Satomi, Tanaka Kei, Nishino Nanase, Narita Ryo, Sakurai Yuki, Maya Miki, Inowaki Kai 

[Aziraphale]

Started Gokushufudou, it's hilarious! Tamaki Hiroshi is killing it as Tatsu!

 

Also watching season 2 of both Yami no Bansosha and Suits, so far so good.

[pad-hari]

Anybody watching SHANAI MARRIAGE HONEY.  Saw good reviews about it.  It seems the ML Itagaki Muzuki is excellent and the chemistry between the leads is good.
