What Japanese drama are you currently watching?

[Dee.84]

Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte

 

Slice of life with romance.

Simple. Beautiful (people, food, places, home, relationships). Heartwarming.

 

Kawaguchi Haruna and Yokohama Ryusei were not in my radar prior to  this drama but  I now look forward to seeing their future projects.

Lately been wanting to upkeep my Japanese so tried to watch Jdrama. I finished a short Japanese drama on Netflix called ‘Kotaro Lives Alone’ and it was a lovely drama about friendship and children’s issues. 
 

Now I am watching Tokyo Mystery Sake and it’s strange but I will give it a chance.

Also currently watching Tokyo MER and it is great. Four eps subbed so far. 

 

I hope they add more JP dramas to legal streaming sites.

I enjoyed Kikazaru Koi, the leads had nice chemistry and the OST was great.

 

Currently halfway through Sakura no Tou for Tamaki Hiroshi.

I'm in a bit of a kdrama slump, so I started watching jdramas on Viki.  I recently finished In Time with You (liked better than the korean version), Life-Love on the Line ( a little shocked by the content) and now My Little Love (cute).  

I started one over a year ago, I thought on viki, that abruptly ended for some unknown reason that I hope someone may recognize and tell me the title.  I really enjoyed it and was disappointed when it disappeared.  It's set in modern day with an elderly lady telling a customer at her restaurant about her life.  Most of the drama takes place around 1940s.  Her mother died, then the father took her and her 2 brothers to the countryside.  She wants to be a teacher and her best friend does also but lacks the money.  Her first teen love ends in heartbreak when she discovers he is engaged to another woman.  Her older bro, I believe, goes to college.  The 2nd brother is interested in planes and signs up with the Japanese air force.  This is around 1943ish, so you have an idea what is going to happen.  This is where I lost the show.  I really want to finish it, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.  It's around 50+ episodes. TIA!

Now I'm watching an unusual drama "You, Me and Bach" from 2019.  Anyone else watching this drama?  

[Aziraphale]

Recently finished Saiai, which was solid. Matsushita Kouhei was wonderful as Daiki.

 

Slowly continuing with Kansatsui Asagao season 2, and halfway through Nihon Chinbotsu.

Currently watching:

 

Kieta Hatsukoi aka My Love Mix Up

 

Michieda Shunsuke. Meguro Ren. Fukumoto Riku.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shunsuke as Aoki. Ren as Ida Riku as Hashmoto.

 

When Hashimoto lent her eraser to Aoki, Ida's name was written on it when it's supposd to be Aida who's friends with Aoki who think Hashimota likes Aokie

Ep 4 and 5 there's denial, realialisation and then confession for both. Awwww

 

You know what?  It's light cute funny adorable friendship love crush mix up then realizing true feelings. No thanks to the eraser with Ida's name

[jongski]

   

Tonari no Chikara   Matsumoto Jun. Aya Ueta. ❤️️❤️️

 

I'm wanting that "Kazoku no Katachi" high quality writing  excellent drama (check page 6. I quote every ep)

I recommend a drama-Don't Call It Mystery.

The ML is a university student with really curly uncontrollable hair.  It looks like an afro!  I'm watching it on Viki.

[Aziraphale]

Recently finished Koisenu Futari, Thoughtful and well made, with excellent performances from Kishii Yukino and Takahashi Issei.

another beautiful dorama which i completed today

Lovely story

 

actually i was looking for some other drama, but it lead me to this beautiful piece

the younger version of the leads were really cute, i kinda found Satoh Takeru's character flat coz his screen time was less

This is the first time i am watching the FL M.Hikari,  she was excellent.  It was surprising to see M.Osamu to see in a support role after seeing him in lot of ML roles.  Anyway I'd give this 8.5/10

 

[pad-hari]

 

 

OMG.

Lovely drama.  even though its a little slow in the middle episodes, both the penultimate and last episode is the best.  I have to give a big thumbs up to Haruna for extremely good acting as Aoba.  This is the first time watching the ML.  He also acted out well as a disabled person.  the other character i liked was Momono and Haruko.  Everybody should watch this drama.  Its 9/10 for me.

I loved this drama as well.  One of the best of 2022.  Perhaps my one criticism would be Aoba moving on from Minato so quickly.  I guess it is explained that she always loved Sou.

Finished Alice in borderland s2, was good, looking for more j shows.
