bluelovesorange...of Japanese TV doramas.
I felt rather underwhelmed with most of the winter season (though if you haven't watched Akai Ito, whyever the hell not? It's a cell phone adaptation that doesn't suck, and the main characters are fleshed out and emotionally real, and oh, I need to make a longer post about it without falling into flail.)
But spring season is looking decidedly up my alley. I have narrowed down my choices thus far:
Mr. Brain
Kimura plays the part of Ryusuke Tsukumo, a neuroscience researcher affiliated with a National Police Agency laboratory. Although his skills help solve difficult cases, he has one flaw: he is generally "clueless to the situation" (better known by the slang term "KY," or "kuuki o yomenai"), leading to various comical interactions. In general, each episode will be a different case.
Kimura's assistant will be played by Haruka Ayase, while Hiro Mizushima will take on the role of a young cop. Other characters include the head of the lab (Mao Daichi), another detective (Teruyuki Kagawa), and a couple of researchers (Yuji Tanaka of Bakusho Mondai and Tortoise Matsumoto of Ulfuls).
Sounds like a funny version of Galileo, and...with less math, but I liked Galileo a great deal, so....plus HIRO! and Haruka!
Oh, and that guy from SMAP. *g*
Smile
(and this is how I decided on that)

calledinvain: that was japan STABBING YOU IN THE FACE.
[21:56]kitsune714: SPITTING IN MY FACE.
[21:56]kitsune714: and then SCRATCHING OUT MY EYES
[21:57]calledinvain: but you know i'm going to watch the first episode.
[21:57]kitsune714: i know.
[21:57]kitsune714: i watched cat vomit for you.
[21:57]kitsune714; now it's your turn.
[21:57]calledinvain: yes, i was going to say.
That's how our friendship works, people. We watchcrap potentially hilariously terrible shows so the other one doesn't have to. Unless the awful is so MESMERIZING, that to not share would just be WRONG. Like that one SP I made her watch because in it, Maki Goto strangles a [has been redacted because the memory of it made me LAUGH SO HARD] with pantyhose! And it makes this whump noise when it falls over?
Yes, yes, look away now. But yes. Evil-sama's drama with Shun as Filipino gang members or what not and muteness and "Let it Be" in all the promo music. Oh, Mother Mary come to me, speaking words of wisdom......
and finally, no surprise,
THE LITTLEST HOBO er, Atashinchi no Danshi!
Fuji remembers what made Maki a total rockstar, and gives her a family comedy, so we can all forget the regret and trauma that was Innocent Love (though, Cute Guy.) Yusuke Yamamoto as a model with gynophobia! (well not really, I just find the term gynophobia hilarious.) Kaname Jun as a genius playboy who has 99 problems but..... That Guy from Nobuta wo Produce (and a host of other really good dramas) being a Yanki hoodlum marshmallow. Guy who played Unfortunate Haruma Miura stand-in in TV Koizora as a recluse with bad 80s fashion!
Requisite chibi hapa actor who is Smarter than everyone!
And Mukai Osamu, who I think looks a bit like this Korean actor that I can't name right now, but anyway, is handsome and a host.
Six adopted brothers who don't like each other, one ex homeless girl who's never had a real family, one sketch marriage, and one REAL SCOTTISH CASTLE.
I CANNOT WAIT. (it airs on Black Day!)
