dorama! dorama! dorama!

Currently watching "Shinzanmono" starring Abe Hiroshi (love the man). The drama is about solving murder case just like any other detective/police dramas. What differs this drama from others is that... there seems to be only one case, and it last for the entire serie... unlike others where they solve one case to another in every episode. It's actually kinda strange, but interesting enough. I'm actually only on ep. 3 with eng sub, so I wouldn't know much, but judging from what I saw in these past 3 eps, it looks like one epi is about one suspect and how Abe Hiroshi get in touch with them to find out if they're the murderer or not.
I must say.... compare to Abe Hiroshi's other works, this one isn't at all as interesting. His previous works were much more... funny and captivating (ie. "Kekkon Dekinai Otoko", "At home dad", "Trick" series, etc.) But because I love the man, I'll watch it further to see if it'll get any better.

Another dorama that I'm currently following is "Yankee-kun to megane-chan". Honestly, I didn't expect much from this one to begin with (becuz of the horror left by "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge"... I seriously couldn't stand watching anymore after the 3rd epi ... it's horrible, sorry to say), but it's actually pretty good, and I think the cast is great also. Some said that Narimiya is too old for the role, but I prefer "a little old looking but good acting" actor over "good and young looking but horrible acting" (aherm... big potion of Johnny idols... *cough*) anytime. But currently, the HQ eng sub version (which I heard will be release by Timeless fansubs) is still not yet out, so I had to watch it LQ at viikii ... better than nothing, so I'm very grateful ^__^

still waiting for my eng soft sub for Ryoma Den ep 16 :p. Has been doing nothing these days but reading Fukuyama Masaharu's translations XD.... translation people are so sweet~ <3
