Zulu-Niner

Spot on, the subtitles have been released in snail's pace. The only one I can rely on is Lost Days, but I've heard that the subber was ill so the release of 7th episode is delayed till now

Wow an online party LOL, sounds like fun. I have a tumblr account (you can check it right here: lontongstroong.tumblr.com) however it's rarely in use.

Anyway, what does "OTP" on your profile stand for? Does it stand for On Time Performance? Pretty curious about that one. And hey you finally give a go for Suzuki Sensei!

Hi Ranchi, how are you doing?

Catching up a deadline for both a project and a seminar. I've watch only a few shows lately (I guess we're at the same circumstances). You look like switching to Korean shows, don't you?

He's not in the Josho, only in the movie (Lesson of the Evil)

Hi there! What are you up to?

I won't say this kid a good actress until she manages to do more challenging roles

The mecha McDonald tumblr screencap cracks me up :D

All hail Mitaina!!!

Totally agree with your last statement :)

He is immensely talented but somehow underused by his agency. I want to see him tackle more thespian and challenging roles

Hey, you missed Gokuako Ganbo, featuring ultimate late bloomer in J-Drama land Machiko Ono (Saiko no Rikon). Alice no Toge looks intriguing and I love the cast, hope Uenodame can bounce back out of her recent downturn.

Also I'll take a glance at Ninomiya's drama, the cast ensemble isn't that good but I hope his acting alone can make it worth watching. I want to see him showing what a good acting is to the audience as well as the younger cast.

I will also check some lesser known shows like Gin Nikan (if subbed), River’s Edge Okawabata (late night drama, starring Odagiri), and Mozu.

Found them in d-addicts

Good for you. Perhaps cheaper dramas can really do counterbalance your usual heavy shows. I also plan to watch Mahoro movie, I've heard that the movie and series were crafted by different production crew.

Anyway, I'd suggest Pan no Soup Neko Biyori to you if you like dramas with few episodes and light, relaxing ambient. I'll write the review anytime soon, this drama is so underrated in MDL, most likely the most undervalued show last year around

No longer getting as busy, but still lots to do. Gotta do it in full pace.

Agree with you, the last 2 episodes of Mahoro would be great if it's made into one instead. Nevertheless the rests made it up, it's a quality show indeed.

What is the Korean drama you currently watching? I also started watching OCN-made drama namely The Virus and enjoy it, it gives vibe of WOWOW-made dramas (they are pay-in channels though). Somehow still can't take mainstream Korean dramas, they are just too tacky to my liking

Dropping by to say hi. Anyway, what shows you have watched lately?

The biggest problem of this show lies on lackluster acting ability of its lead. This kind of shows need a strong lead who can convey emotions good enough to maximize the emotional impact towards the audience. The story itself is so-so, though cinematography works manage to fill up some gaps

Agreed with you, one has to be mature enough to munch this show. My favorite is the second half of episode 7 (flashback of Mr Suzuki's past). Genius storytelling indeed

Perhaps one of the best school dramas out there. If you like Suzuki Sensei, you'll end up liking this on too
