QUOTE (poonk @ May 08 2008, 02:41 AM)I have to admit, though, my expectations are not terribly high. Not that I disliked
Gokusen (quite the opposite, I loved the first season), but just as I found that the
2nd series wasn't nearly as good as the
1st series ... I don't expect the 3rd to be even as good as the 2ndUnfortunately, my suspicions have proven true. I've watched 1-1/2 eps (yep, didn't even make it through ep02 without wandering off...) and it seems like I've seen it all before (because, well, I
have). Except maybe the boys keep getting more & more extreme hairstyles (I mean extreme in that "J-boy pop-idol" sort of way). Anyone who was eyeing this, I would recommend you watched the original
Gokusen drama (2002) instead (although I'm still probably going to end up watching this anyway, eventually...)
However... I'm starting into
Bijo ka Yajuu (Beauty or Beast) and
Beach Boys (no, it's not shonen-ai! *lol*) and really enjoying both. I've already got all of
Bijo ka Yajuu (2003) ready to go, but
Beach Boys (1997) is so old (well, for a drama) that the torrents are taking
forever to download. Most of the 10 eps are just sitting there at 50-99%.
Now-- I'm off to find a new K-drama to watch (I haven't watched any since finished
9 Ends 2 Out months ago!)
Edit: I think I'm gonna check out
Hong Gil Dong, which is described as a "Korean Robin Hood" and seems well-liked in the D-Addicts forum.
