have been on a recent j-drama kick, which resulted in a buying spree of up to 8 boxsets :p for a person who has not voluntarily turned on the tv to watch any of the local channels (regardless of whether i was in jb, s'pore or perth, 'cept for tat misguided phase where i got swindled by idol fever), i watch a heck of a lot of japanese tv. i still can't quite decide if it's the short-&-sweet storylines, the relatively higher production values, the earnest way the shows try to illuminate lessons in life, or the beautiful beautiful bishounen. my bro would say my tastes in j-dorama lean VERY heavily towards the last :p wat can i say? i'm a healthy gal, i got urges :p mwahahahaha!!! at least these guys aren't jus 花瓶 - they act way better than the taiwanese ppl.
so if u wanna check out j-doramas, these aren't too bad - tho some of their premises are WAY manga-like or fantastical :)
