kurokouchi for sure!!
I'm also enjoying Danda Rin but waiting for the last 2 episodes to be subbed

wow you did such a thorough analysis well to tell you the truth I don't remember al those details but now that you mention it I remember when the main character said he only smokes once a year, and also the ending when I thought it was either that the main character went to his death or the driver never died then :S But its very confusing so though I enjoy the mystery as a whole I wish we get a clearer ending (and I feel this way bcuz I enjoyed it so much!!)

I'm in the minority too... disagree with maybe 80% of the "best" but its all about people's taste not much about quality

I don't wanna believe in such a depressing ending although it makes some sense but I don't see the point of her dying :S
Well the similarities with Atami no Sousakan is not a coincidence since it got the same director/screenwriter but at least in Henshin we get some sort of answer to the mystery unlike Atami
They both have some sort of weirdness, weird secluded town where the main character seems to fit in

Weird!! :P lool well the mystery as a whole was well developed but I didn't like its resolution didn't quite click with me
I specially didn't understand the last scene what did you think of it?

I'm not into rom-com either specially korean style that go all melo at 1 point :P but if u like Slice Of Life & realistic characters you'll live Saikou No Rikon ;)

No mention of Saikou No Rikon? You should watch its one of the best!! I also love Kurokouchi!! I gotta disagree about the female lead... Its not that shes useless her use is to be our point of view i think. We discover the truth through her

Lol you do sound tough headed :P but straight forward ;) I like your logic :)

Hi just wanted to tell you I like the way you think (from what you wrote in your profile :P) I agree with most of it specially the "What kind of dramas [you] will not bother to watch"

I agree with everything you said!! I think we might have similar taste :P

Nine was awesome!! it is slow to get hooked in the beginning but once you get passed episode 4-5 it gets intense all the way to the end and the execution of the supernatural element was spot on. Yamada-kun to 7 nin no Majo was plain entertainment. Its easy and fun to watch!! The rest of the shows I found I didn't watch, but found many of them to be over-rated (specially gu family book... when i read about the ending I couldn't believe it)

yup but what I was saying was what attracted them to each other is the past they miss and regret, not what the other has become. 1 thing I always wonder is how could mok dan fall for the guy who tortured her I would never forget that no matter who he turns out to be!!
I'm not bashing the show its the opposite I love it just saying but their love story isn't my fave :P

I agree with you about Dok Mi!!! Not so much about Mok Dan for 2 reasons 1st her character was kinda boring had nothing to contemplate + was used boringly & 2nd I think the actrice wasnt doing a great job portraying her. She had good reasons to this & that and made smart decisions at times too but just the character had more potential.

I can't agree with you about Dok Mi I really loved her character and think it was very well thought out. She is as Enrique describes her & I guess i watched her in a period in my life where I was feeling the same as she did and could relate to her.

Well i think he loves her for their past history cuz he didnt seem to be interested in her until he found out :S

Gotta agree about being far too technical :P its still fun to read from a different point of view and he sometimes reviews shows that I wouldn't think about watching or wouldn't know about cuz they're really old but like you call them gems!

I got the same feeling since I didn't watch half of whats on the list + some doramas like tonbi where i ready many good things and Karamazov no Kyodai that i never got to watch it... but then again many people who voted here had only seen 2 dramas from the list so I guess its all fair after all :P

That role suited him very much!! I think he really enjoys doing those types of roles, specially in Kurokouchi I feel that he's having so much fun lool :P

I just looked her up and I think I've read her blog before but thats interesting I'll look up when she has to say on the doramas I've watched.. too bad her last post was early 2012:(

hey!! well unfortunately there aren't many for japanese dramas but I follow http://hamsapsukebe.blogspot.ca/ I like the way he critics shows and movies even if i find him too picky but he makes good points ;)
For korean its Koala's playground & dramabeans which are pretty famous :P
