Yeah, it's like a school drama from the teachers' perspective.

Ah, now I really want to try it! Maybe this weekend (but probably not).

I really liked it. It's slower, kind of dramatic, a little dark. About doubt and betrayal and obsession. But it has a really beautiful ending, and I like dramas that deal with relationships.

Ahh! I can't wait then! Have you seen Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta? I loved him in that.

No, I really want to because *Miura Haruma* !! But it looks like an action/suspense/maybe violent drama, so I've been working up the courage. Have you? Is it good?

Oh, ok, maybe it isn't what I was thinking of. And apparently it's on my list!

Yeah, I think so, as long as you're willing to engage, try new things, make the most of it. At the beginning of high school, travel did not appeal to me at all, but I think it has been really good for me. It's also a nice goal in my mind since it's a really flexible one.
I did study in Japan! And I loved it there. There are some cool travel spots close to where I was. Art? That is so cool! I'm trying to start drawing more, but I'm no good. My art major friends are always busy, but there are some good jobs that direction.
Personal Taste is so wonderful! I should watch it again.

Oh, I meant When A Man Falls in Love, sorry. I'm watching legal high and rewatching Tatta Hitotsu. I'm kind of busy with school now, but during summer I'm planning to watch Maou. Is Piece that web-aired one?

Is it your first time watching Tatta Hitotsu? It really is amazing! I actually watched part of it today since it's my favorite and I sort of had a bad day. Hmm, that other one looks interesting, too. I'm slowly working my way through Legal High, but some of these newly airing Jdramas look good...

Yeah, I personally love university, but I understand it's not for everybody. But you have plenty of time to decide! Traveling is a nice goal :)
Haha, it's kind of hard to describe...technically, my degree is English Lit and my concentration is in Linguistics, but I also have one in Composition and my senior thesis is in Creative Writing, and I also did a minor in Asian studies and did language study for a year in Japan, and a minor in secondary education, although I still need a year in grad school to get a license, which I may or may not try for.
(P.S., you are watching Personal Taste right now? That's probably my favorite Kdrama! Except for You're Beautiful.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have a lot of Kdramas I want to watch, but my attention span = to short to get through more than 11 episodes. So I'm working on that. You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it! The soundtrack is pretty awesome.

Hi :) I'm Water, I saw your request post...
Tear jerking romantic movies: The Classic is a wonderful Korean classic; Bandage is my favorite drama movie ever, starring Akanishi Jin; My Rainy Days is decent, somehow reminded me of Paradise Kiss.
Dramas: if you liked Last Friends, you will probably like Sunao ni Narenakute, similar cast and themes;
Ordinary People (Asunaro Hakusho): a wonderful older drama, think Orange Days but more bittersweet;
I'm not a huge KimuTaku fan, but Pride is a really, really good love story and a classic;
Kamisama, Mou Sukoshi Dake: another classic, a cliche yet moving romance;
Strawberry on the Shortcake: decent high school/romance, a little dark, and a classic;
Second Virgin: a dark romance, a little suspenseful, really well done.
I hope you find some good stuff! I also feel sometimes like I'm running out of good titles in the genres I like.
Thanks for the article! Yeah, I totally agree with you on Hana Yori Dango, that stuff is not legal nor acceptable.
Hana Kimi, though? Yes, she lied and falsified documents, but I felt like the students overreacted a little bit (in the 2007 version, the only one I finished). It was dishonest and maybe she didn't have a very good reason, but she didn't betray them, spy on them, or do anything nefarious.
If anything was illegal, it was Mizuki's creepy stalker behavior; Sano might have had grounds to file a restraining order.
She didn't do anything to Nakatsu, though. She didn't lead him on, or tease him, all while pretending to be a guy.
While it might have been an awful experience for him, struggling with sexuality and romantic feelings is something many adolescents go through. It's not really fair to blame the crush for confusion or emotional turmoil indirectly caused by them.

Haha, yeah! It's snowed the last week of April in my hometown before, and that's a couple hours South of where I am now, but a lot of the International students were like "Whaaaat? It can /do/ that?"

Thanks, I will likely need it! Three years will go by so fast, maybe. My four in college sure did. What all are you planning to do?
