... while im' watching dramas (as well as american series, in fact). I'm talking with the character and shouting and laughing and crying in front my TV screen. Isn't it supposed to be "living". But I don't know why, I cannot do the same with my family and above all with my colleagues.

I was surprised to see you're watching romance dramas. I mean, guys are supposed to watch action series, no? (that was a stupid statement, i'm aware of that, and in real life I'm not the kind to agree with all those stupid stereotypes. And you're full of indulgence so you will forgive me one more time?!). I've finished 49 days last week and I cried so much because of The Scheduler. What did you like about this drama? you've rated it high...

No monder to see so great indulgence from someone whose name makes me think of a medieval knight in his bright armour and his lance, ready to compete in a tournament. are you a member of the Round Table? (never thought it could come from Fish Story)
Forgiveness will also be useful to read me, you know the reputation of french people regarding foreign languages. I had to use my dictionnary to fully understand your post and to answer you too! (and yes, i'm ashamed!)
Maybe the only way for King Wesley to slim is to let him several weeks without eating, which I would certainly not recommend. and why King Wesley ?(I know it's none of my business but this name immediately recalled me the Harry Potter serie).
I'm one year older than you, and my life is dull too (so happy to know a new word i can immedialty use (and yes, I should have known this word before!). Though I'm feeling alive while...

I was listening to Murray Head's song on my way back this afternoon and I was thinking I should take some news from you (though I sometimes "see" you on the feeds).
How are you?
what are you watching at the moment, apart Miss Pilot?
Oh my! your dropped list is quite huge! i'm surprised you dropped Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. I thought this was the kind of drama you could like (even if not the better, i agree).
Have you also dropped your previous goal in life? I cannot see Maki anywhere!

that's a relief! hope things will be settled soon for you, i can't even imagine how worried you could have been the past days.
though people I meet on MDL are people i will certainly never met IRL, MDL has become a home and a shelter for me. so I tend to consider MDL friends as an extension of my family (that could sound bizarre, but that's the way I feel). We all share here things that some of us (at least me, and certainly many other people) cannot share with their own family and friends. That's a special bond for me. so I became concerned, even if I clearly know it's none of my business. at least this event has shown you that many people were worried, even if no one of us could have done anything to really help you (except giving pieces of advice)
Btw, on a lighter tone as i'm feeling relieved, i'm curious about your avatar. Find it really cute but never dare asking who they are.

hello! just wanted to know if you've found any solution to your current problem (i'm a little bit worried, and there's no news on the feed). Hope everyhting is fine/will turn fine soon.

thanks for the friend's requet. I'm pretty sure you'll find lots of J-drama fans here.
I've never heard of "H2", but thanks to you, it's now on my PTW list! i've added Aishiteru to ittekure too! all is left is to find them on the net... And i think I will take a close look at your list to find other unknown dramas.
I'm not sure i'll be able to recommend something to you, especially if your huge completed list reflects only 25% of your total completed dramas...
I'm also reluctant to rate things 10, and my 10 only reflects how I enjoy the show and the characters, regardless of the story consistency or real acting skills.

Thanks a lot for the news, though i'm only interested by Mogura no Uta (hope there will be Beethoven's music in the movie too!)
I confess that what stroke me the most in your article is the fact you're mentionning Bakumatsu Kokosei as an "old" drama (1994). cannot say it's really new, but damn, i'm feeling really old while reading you! lol.

thanks a lot. i'm happy to have some fresh news from you ! Here i'm fine, mostly thanks to dramaland.
Fighting spirit, girl !!! i wish things will go well for you!

I just wanted to say : Happy Birhday! Hope everything is okay for you.

if I'm not mistaken, it's time to say : Happy Birthday!!! Wish you the best, and, of course, a lot of really good dramas for the next months!

hello. hope you're doing well. Just wanted to say I'm so amused by your comments about drama Heirs. As time passes, you really seem to loose faith in it. Fighting girl!!! It could be better than expected. And at least there is Lee Min Ho in it so you can just look at your computer and fangirl at how cute he is.

Thanks girls, that was a really nice trip.
I was wondering why this grand staircase of the Tokyo National Museum I visited last summer was so familiar to me... I did'nt realised it was in so many dramas. The most obvious spot for me was the Lockhaert Castle, it's almost everywhere. Don't know if we can visit it...
I think that from now on, I will take a closer look in dramas scenery, it's always funny to watch on TV places where you have been (recently I yelled in front my computer when there was a scene in Mother set in Harajuku and especially in a toys shop where my friend and I spent so many hours last summer).
thanks again for reminding so good memories!

I would highly recommend it (of course)!!! I thought it would be a funny but a little stupid high school drama, and found out it was deeper than expected. and there is Yamamoto Yusuke in a leading role!

Q10 and the windy drama are on my PTW list now. thanks!

hello too! thanks for adding me. I took a look at your list and found lots of movies you had liked that I haven't even heard of. I will check them closely!
I've recently watched an interesting movie called "I have to buy new shoes". i watched it despite Mukai Osamu that I don't really like, and thought it would be a basic rom-com. I was totally fooled by the poster, it was far more "serious" than expected. Not a masterpiece, but a charming movie.

When you're in the mood for a drama with a more "serious" theme, I would highly recommend Mother. So many people told me it was great, but I didn't expect to like it that much (I rated it 10, and I don't like to rate dramas a 10).
For Kami no Shizuku, I totally agree, especially concerning the brother (too fake imo), but i'm in need of a light watch at the moment.
From those you've listed, i've only seen Asuko March. I remember to have found it surprisingly not that bad (I was expecting another "baka" J-drama for teenagers). I'm tempted by Q10. I don't watch much K-dramas but it seems that That winter, the wind blows was a very good one (I remember very good impressions on the feeds). Maybe I should add it on my PTW list too?
I understand your urge for movies. I'm trying to watch more (one per week, that's all the time I can afford atm.) i'll take a look at your list for inspiration!

Btw, i'm from France (in the countryside). you'll see we are a lot of Europeans on the website. but that's really nice to meet so many dramafans from all around the world. sure you'll meet lots of nice people here.
I'll take a close look at your list, it seems we have similar tastes, so i will certainly give a try at those you rated high.

whaou! you're really a fan! I only know them for a year and a half but, well, I do fall in love with them as a band. My favourite was Sakurai, but I lost confidence since I read some bad things about him (I know i'm not a nice fan, but sometimes his way of treating fans disappoints me. Yet, i still adore him). I also love Ohno-san a lot, especially since the beginning of Kagi no kakatta Heya (Enomoto Kei is actually my fav character in Dramaland). I even bought this year's T-shirt because of him (and Kusuma-san too, that's a strange yet nice artistic pairing). I watched the SP but need some subs to rate it. Ohno moved me during the family scene around the table.
But I love them all, and i'm always so happy to see them interact with each other, that's what makes my life easier since I know them. what about you? who's your favorite? What do you like the most about them?

Hello girl! I'm fine, thanks a lot. What about you?
Lately I've watched Mother, and that was such a beautiful drama. Have you watched it? (I confess I didn't dare making a search among your amazing list...). But the theme was heavy, so I've just started watching Kami no Shizuku. unrealistic and too much manga-like, but that's refreshing. Plus Kamenashi-san is not so bad, though being so young (for me I mean...)
I don't dare asking you what you're currently watching... Everytime i'm on the "which drama episode..." thread, I can see you with a new drama. And if I remember well the feeds, you're also working! how do you manage to do all that things?!! Do you sleep sometimes?
That reminds me i should go take a look at your movie list (and send a friend's request in the same time).
Oh i'm too talkative tonight. Just one last thing : what was your last favourite(s) drama(s)?

thanks a lot for accepting the request. and welcome to MDL since you're pretty new on the site!
I've seen your avatar on the Kagheya SP page and it stroke me since i've got the same (not the same picture, of course; never thought of using it on the site...). Have you watched the 36th NTV 24hr show (don't know in what order I should put it)? Are you maybe an Arashi fan (I confess I watched it mostly because of Arashi)? Have you watched the special?
I took a look at your list, which is surprisingly quite big for a new member. When did you start watching Asian dramas?
hope it's not too many questions at a time. I'm a talkative girl. I can't help asking lots of things when meeting someone.
hope you'll enjoy the website, there are really great and nice people here. see you soon!
