Daisuki (だいすき)

I really love this heart warming drama.  It is about a mentally challenged young girl struggling through the obstacle to raise her daughter as single parent.  It may seems like a little dark and sad story at first, but it is actually very touching and sweet story how this young single mom is surrounded by…

Iryu (1+2) – 医龍

Really love this drama after watching 2, so when back to watch the first one.  The cast is great (good looking and fairly decent acting) and the story line is very interesting.   I actually really like the simple and easy to understand diagram explaining the operation.  Really not sure how real and close to real…

A Song to the Sun (タイヨウのうた)

I like this drama a lot.  Really don’t understand why it did not do well in rating.  I like it a lot more than 結婚できない男 which was the best rating of last season. The story is touching.  Both the lead and supporting actors  gave very good performance.  The only criticism to this drama is that it…

Rondo (輪舞曲)

There is a lot of famous actors & actresses from both Japan and Korea in this drama.  Music was great and Yutaka Takenouchi still looks stunningly good.  This story is like a complete copy cat of the famous HK cop movies: Infernal Affairs.  Acting from both leads is amazing.    While watching that drama & if you know…

白夜行 — Byakuyakou

This is one of the darkest Japanese drama I’ve ever watched.  There were many times I felt suffocated by the helplessness from the main characters.  Wanted to stop watching video because I felt I had enough but feeling addicted to the plot and hoping and wishing maybe some good would  happen so I kept watching… If you…
