Doraemon beat Kurosagi in the boxoffice sweepstakes - you can't fight a robotic blue cat. With a MAGIC POCKET OF AWESOME.
I quit watching Robbers, and now my kdrama list has been reshuffled so that I'm watching On Air, then Thank You, then Ruler of Your Own World. After fast forwarding through most of 90 days (falling in love) in sort of mute car crash horror, and then watching a few key episodes of Stained Glass to get the taste of LAME out, I've been looking forward to Kim Ha Neul's role in On Air. I love it when my favorite actresses play new archetypes - Kim Ha Neul gives good bitch diva.
My Jdramas are now: watching all of Ashita no Kita Yoshio once it's done airing/subbed, starting Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi, thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
calixa's starry eyed enthusiasm. I like whimsical and weird and magic realism. I'm keeping up with the slow gentle loveliness of Bara no nai Hanaya, and I've dropped Daisuki! (though, Yuuta. You so pretty. CALL ME.) Play me sad piano ballads!
Things I'm looking forward to: Last Friends, Tokyo Daikushu, Puzzle. Hopefully, Puzzle will be a better class of mystery than the crappy 4 Shimai Tantei Dan. I downloaded the first episode of it and I usually try to keep a threshold of 3 episodes before I decide to ditch a program, but oh the crappitude was so mighty. The main character comes from the wide eyed nosy plucky heroine school of stock characters and while that in itself wasn't irritating (arguably, Tsurara in Kurosagi is also a wide eyed, nosy, plucky heroine type and also I love her very much), the fact that she was SO INCREDIBLY STUPID and constantly walking into danger and just thinking about it makes me grind my teeth. Too much focus was put on her. I'd rather they focus on the sister played by Ichikawa Yui, or but alas, it looks like dumber than a bag of hair sister is the Nancy Drew connection character.
A sneak peek at Tokyo Daikushu is here.
There's rumors of a Hanazakari no Kimitachi e SP filming at the end of March, and since Fuji seems to be on SP roll lately, it's not completely far-fetched, but I'm not going to start flailing until I actually see this rumor pop up on 2ch or ...you know, official recognition.
Like the masochistic thrill of emo/angst shot that Kdrama provides without having to suffer through a long extended series? The next best thing is Korean PVs. I've been watching this and this obsessively. It's a two parter, much like the similar Timeless from last year, but I prefer these over Timeless, because...Chinese Opera. The Korean/Chinese fusion. The actual theatricality of it. So. Good.
And Choi Siwon is always a plus.
Cat Street (from the mangaka of Hana Yori Dango) is getting the dorama treatment.
