Trouble-chan

So totally agree - I nominated this romcom drama and so many of it's stars in so many categories. It really is the best one I seen for this year....Goblin's pulling second for me but won't be finished until next year.

Oh well, I've done it now - so if the 10th December is a legit cut off date they'll just bin the ones that I've included this on; that's ridiculous though because the end of the year is 31st December and they're losing SO many dramas, especially this BRILLIANT one. I hope Dani's right it was just an example.

2015 = educated idler .....that's 'Date 2015' right? Oh that was like this too, only the female lead was a lot more.....'unusual' than Mikuri. :D

Hmm, I'm guessing it would be then - the rules say before the end of 2016, so that would be alright I'm sure. Well, I'm putting it in and hoping for the best then. :) Thanks for the info, muchly appreciated. :D

Oguri Shun is ALWAYS a must watch - the guy is a really TALENTED actor and it's nice to see him an action movie too. :)

THIS is the special 5 episode 'Shorts' featuring unseen footage that wasn't included in the movie.

For those wondering about the difference between the two posters - THIS is the MAIN movie and the other one is a special 5 episode 'Shorts' featuring unseen footage that wasn't included in the movie.

[quote] Fake Couple -- Plot: A 45-year-old librarian who has given up on love gets married to a man she has met only once because her mother does not have much left to live [end quote]

This description is really so wrong I can't even laugh, at least not like I did at some of the others with errors. The 'man she has met only once' is actually her best friend since COLLEGE. She's always been in love with him - she gave up on love after he ditched her during the first night they were to be intimate together whilst at college (they didn't sleep together).

HIS mother is sick (hers has been dead since she was very young) and they get married because of a particular secret HE doesn't want to tell HIS mother and because she's always loved the librarian. She also knows the secret. In fact the ONLY bit that's right is the fact she's a librarian and her age..... XD

KissAsian has great Thai drama on there......

Ladies - hold on to your ovaries.....with all this male hotness around they might well explode! I think this may well have most of the fangirls swooning - even us older 'fanwomen' may well get a bit flustered....... XD XD

I'm doing the nominations for MDL's 2016 awards and want to know if it finishes before the end of december 2016 - does anyone know how long this will run and if it'll finish in time for the nominations? It's so good I honestly think it deserves it. :)

It's on here (MDL).....same title too. :)

There's a guy in Love Sick who's surname is 'Adultkittiporn'........I will leave you to digest that. ;) (apparently a Thai friend said that many of them hate their Thai names and that's why they have another single name they use like Captain or Karn.....)

Likewise - I LOVED 'Falling for Innocence' so much I bought the dvd. It was nowhere near that long, but hopefully the makers of this drama won't let it drag too much.

I know - some people really went to extremes, it was utterly nuts; I read on the net that one of the writer's was accosted on the street by a fan and was spat at. I mean sure. I was mad too, like I said I ranted to both my tv AND my family after the last episode and it's made me VERY wary of dramas these days, but to go that far is ridiculous. It's a TV SHOW not a war on children for God's sake!

But some people get way too invested in dramas - they hate the bad guys and shout insults at the actors if they see them in the street; I read about one old lady that, on seeing an actress at the opening of a movie with her ACTUAL husband, accused her of 'cheating' on her tv show 'husband'.....daft, but that's how some people are. To be honest I find that level of fan love very creepy. I might laugh and cry with a drama; love the characters, etc - but I'd NEVER go that far.

I must admit though that the whole 'LOST' debacle is one of the (many) reasons I prefer Asian dramas is because, aside from the few 'open ended' dramas and movies, most have a plot they follow and/or a story arc that is thought out at the beginning of a drama. :)

Oh they were angry alright - I just ranted to my tv and family for a while, but others sent hate mail to the writers, death threats, they were even verbally abused in the street......lol! But they had promised that if people stuck with it they would tie everything up in the end and everything would make sense - they lied. So people's rage, having given six years of their viewing life to 'LOST', was kind of understandable - even if a few did go a teensy bit bonkers. ;)

This sounds incredibly similar to the Taiwanese drama 'Murphy's Law of Love '.......

Agreed - Master Kim is hotness personified especially when he's Angry Master Kim and whaling on someone nasty like the doctor who really killed the patient. Actually his dramas are pretty good on the whole - but this is his best so far. :)
