You remember how in my last post I said:

I'm neglecting Hotaru no Hikari 2 at the moment because I'm thinking... that marathoning the first series and this one when it's over sounds kind of cool.

Well, I've just watched episodes 1 to 4. A mini-marathon, yes, but now I have to wait for the rest and that su***! However the great time I have just had it's worth the waiting, me thinks...

I should be more articulate about this but all I can say is: I LOVE IT TO BITS!!!! I really heart this series so much!!! I heart Buchou and Amemiya... I even get all emotional at some moments... because I must confess that I have things in common with Amemiya so I kind of understand her pretty well... Besides their whole relationship is so cute!! (although I must confess that I would hit them hard sometimes).

Looovee the secondary couple and I quite like Seno, especially his voice... so deep and sexy!!!

I think it has the charm the first series has so I'm not regretting they made a second season (just the opposite). Hope I don't have to eat my words again as the rest of episodes come (if the writers decide to break up this couple I won't be held responsible of my actions!!)

Buchou and Amemiya are making me squee, cry, laugh... because they offer you moments likes this:



( her version of this )

And the episode about the 'iberiko buta' (ep. 2) was fantastic and was so close to home... I loooovee 'iberiko buta'! They know the good things LOL! I feel sorry for them because I can find it easily here *grin*

Now I have to wait for ep 5 subs but well, as I say, it's okay because I had just a great time! (hope they appear soon *pout*)

I was tempted to start watching it since started airing but I must thank cranberrysheep because her picspam from episode 3 (I think) was the definitive push ;)

Oh my, I'm so hooked to Joker that I can't wait for subbed episodes... That will re-teach me a lesson it seems I have forgotten: wait til the drama has ended and it's completely subbed, you idi**!

- I'm trying not to be too spoilerish but be warned just in case -

Anyway, I have just finished episode 3 and OMG! it's getting so interesting. Love all the characters. Asuka, Date and Kudo make a great team. Now I wonder how things will evolve now that Kudo is part of the team. I'd love to know more about his past and of course Date's past. And I'd love to see Asuka's reaction when she discovers everything, which I'm sure will happen soon-ish.

I need to watch more of this!!!


And it's not only with Joker. I loooveee Unubore Deka. Tomoya Nagase is perfect for the main part!! How can he be so perfect for a part!? I truly think it was written having him in mind.

I'm neglecting Hotaru no Hikari 2 at the moment because I'm thinking... that marathoning the first series and this one when it's over sounds kind of cool.

The other one I like a lot was Natsu no koi... but I think I'll also wait til there are more eps available.

I'm planning on watching Gold in the future although it looks really nice too and Takashi Sorimachi too hot ;) but I'm sure his screentime is aprox the same Yutaka Takenouchi has in Boss... so that's why I'm not watching right now. Those hot men need more screentime!!!!

(btw, I've read Takenouchi will start in a drama this autumn, which is great great news!!! Yay!!!)

I'm surprised Hancho 3 is almost anywhere to be found which is a pity (as it is a pity that season 2 isn't subbed!)

I'd like to know if somebody is watching Mioka because my beloved Shosuke Tanihara is in it but I'm guessing his part is not too big and it's a terminal illness drama and those are forbidden in my book (just with medical dramas) so, any detailed explanation about this drama and Tanihara involvement in it, I'd truly appreciate it!!

*happy dance*

I looovveee Hotaru no Hikari (I really enjoyed Fujiki Naohito and Ayase Hakura in their roles) and I didn't know this so it really made my day. Both of them will be back as Amamiya and Buchoo with some of the previous cast members also joining.

Now I'm looking forward this jdrama, the first in my list from Japan (the rest of the dramas I'm waiting for are Korean).
