midoriI went ahead and decided to go over my summer j-dramas as well. Ah~, I can't believe I watched so much this summer. Sometimes, I'd just sit home and watch for hours and hours. I guess it was all the catching up I had to do since I didn't watch most of the school year. These are just the few series that I completed from start-to-finish this summer. Of course, there are many I'm still currently watching right now. Haha. Will I do those later? Saa~, who knows? XD
14 Sai no Haha [2006 Oct-Dec]
After watching Jyou no Kyoushitsu with Shida Mirai, I wanted to see this. I became more impressed with her after watching this and now I'm currently watching her in Tantei Gakuen Q. I'm sure in the future, she'll become a well-known actress with many roles. There were also other new actors that were featured in this drama which was nice. Haha, I laughed when Sorimachi Takashi popped out of nowhere as the doctor in the last two episodes. I didn't expect that. Gotta love that guy.
Ace wo Nerae [2004 Jan-Mar]
I think the main reason I liked this drama was because it was about TENNIS. <3 Ueto Aya to me isn't really one I like to watch in dramas but she was good in this one. I think it's funny that they cg-ed the tennis ball throughout all the matches so they could control the direction of the ball however they like. I'm sure it was a lot easier that way. The storyline was quite simple and the matches were cut short so they don't last forever and bore you to death.
Bambi~no! [2007 Apr-Jun]
After HYD2, MatsuJun returns in Bambi~no! I loved him in this one too. I also liked his hair a lot better in this than HYD2. XD It was really informative italian-cooking-wise. My favorite part is probably when he was told to serve in the dining hall as a waiter. His attempts were hilarious.
Hana Yori Dango 2: Returns [2007 Jan-Mar]
I couldn't watch this at first because I couldn't remember what happened in the first season so I made sure I rewatched that season first. I liked how Tsukushi first starts out in NY, it was different for a change. And somehow Doumyouji's hair became poofier and curlier. XD Of course, with the drama comes rivals, obstacles that get in their way, misunderstandings, all that good stuff. I loved it.
Joudan Janai! [2007 Apr-Jun]
After watching Nodame I wanted to watch this because of Ueno Juri. I was surprised to see her acting so normal! XD Too much Nodame for me. I kept wanting her to be all, "Dokyaa~!" but it never happened. Haha.
Joou no Kyoushitsu [2005 Jul-Sept]
This series was amazingly touching. I cried a lot. I don't think it's possible for a teacher to go to that extent to care for their students. It's amazing.
Lunch no Joou [2002 Jul-Sept]
Ah~, Tsumabuki Satoshi totally made the whole drama worthwhile. I don't think it would have been the same if he wasn't the actor. Haha. I now know what Omurice and demiglace sauce are! It was also nice to see Yamapi and Yamada Takayuki.
Nobuta wo Produce [2005 Oct-Dec]
I like seeing Yamapi play roles like this one, rather than the "I'm so cool for anything" roles he gets often. Horikita Maki was great in this one too. Her roles in NwP, Hana Kimi, and Seito Shokun!, all differ which is always impressive.
Nodame Cantabile [2006 Oct-Dec]
Oh man, every single episode was hilarious. I loved every bit of it and it was great to see a drama as classical music oriented as this one was. I can't wait until the second season.
Proposal Daisakusen [2007 Apr-Jun]
Hallelujah Chance! Will you confess in this episode? The next? How about the 11th? Haha. I've never seen such a guy take so long to confess even with so many chances. ProDai has an interesting storyline which I haven't seen in any other drama. Don't Knock New York! Many people aren't satisfied with the very ending as well. I think that was one of the few downsides to the drama.
Ahh~, I can't believe summer's nearing its end so soon. ;_;

Date: 2007-08-21 11:58 pm (UTC):( Aw, it probably is just a nodame special. My sources were pretty old. But still, a special is a lot better than none! And whoo, NwP! I DO feel special! =DD I usually only like to watch hardsubs too, but for Hana-Kimi and YTM I've been downloading the softsubs and then the hardsubs later 'cause I just can't wait!! XD
OMG HYD MOVIE YAYY! Of course I'm psyched! *_____*
Aww, I know how you feel. (is a piano player too) It was the first time I didn't go on vacation for once too and I guess boredom makes me watch movies more often. And geh~, I'm so sorry about your regular video store! I'm sure you can get it from any of the basic stores, depending on how much you want to spend. ^^ I'm a SUPER big Nino fan so haha, I'll buy the dvd later.
