JAPANESE DRAMA IS OWNING ME! yet again.

Haha.. the manga and anime fever is over, or should I say IT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY J.Ds!! Unbelievable but true!!

The Japanese drama industry has been rather quiet until lately, a bunch of new series updates were uploaded on the web! This was when it all started Whooraaayy!!

And for the past few nights I've been hogging the com to complete all the first episodes. U might not have known that I'm such a person who does not believe in completing whtever I start. and so I would try out practically everything, pick out the "elite" ones and invest in it. However, the story doesn't end here.
New stuff springs out all the time. and I'll take a bite frm all of em. New treasures with better prospects will eliminate the already polished jewels.
That's the way of the perfectionist.
And it's rather similar to today's social politics.


Ops sorry digressing


Anws! YEAH! Out of the whole lot of New Jap Dramas I would sincerly like to recomm these 2!

First up, Kami No Shizuku!


The story follows a young man who faces a challenge from his late wine critic father. To gain access to his inheritance of 2 BILLION YEN!! , he must identify 13 wines that his father described in his will. Things aint gonna be so simple. He has a competitor called Toomine Issei, a renowned young wine critic, whom his father adopted one week before he passed away. (LOL something fishy is going on here!)

Shizuku has never drunk or has any previous knowledge about wines, but with strong senses of taste and smell, plus knowledge gained from his time with his father, and with support from his friends and colleagues like sommelier trainee Shinohara Miyabi. Shizuku submerges himself in the world of wines and tries to solve the mysteries of the 13 wines and defeat Toomine Issei.


This info is based on watching only the first episode of the show. haha. Go check it out! :D

Sad for u gals there aint no hot hunks, but lucky us! the supporting actresses in the show are swt! :D Can learn more abt wine also!

LOL spammed @ Tokyo Station.


Nxt is VOICE!





The story revolves around a group of 5 medical students enrolled in seminar on forensic pathology. Using forensic medicine, they explore the mysteries of death and unravel the unspoken last words of the deceased.

I've watched the first 2 episodes and it was pretty easy to guess wht had happened to the deseased due to the flooding of clues and hints throughout the show. Nevertheless, the acting and music complements each other in a way that it touches your heart. With a little dose of inspirational phrases here and there, WOAHLA! u get a pretty decent drama :D A japanese version of CSI! :P

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAV!!!!!! :D





AND PLEASE PEOPLE! TELL ME WHATS SO NICE ABT HANA YORI DANGO.KOREA!!


I've took a sip of the show and was turned off immediately. I just couldn't stand the over-exaggerated and let-the-cat-out-of-the-bag acting. Could practically predict whts going to happen! and it's not just this series. hmm. The essence of Hyd was pretty much fogged up too.

Sorry to be so harsh on my comments K.D fans. But that's just hw i feel. ><"
