QUOTE (chiisai_hana @ Jan 09 2010, 06:44 PM)There's a lot of new shows coming out - what is everyone looking forward to? Right now I'm just planning to watch Pasta, but I've started watching the 2006 kdrama
101st Proposal too.
Well... This past season I tried watching
Tokyo DOGS (Mizushima Hiro,
why do they let you mug like that?) and
Samurai High School (couldn't get into the reincarnated samurai schtick, sorry) but the only current drama that ended up catching me was
Ohitorisama. It's a light-hearted romantic comedy between teachers, older-woman/younger-man a la
Kimi wa Petto, Suppli, etc. It's very reminiscent of those, actually, especially
Suppli. It's kinda by-the-numbers in that respect (since I've seen something similar before) but it's still relatively amusing and
Teppei Koike is such a cutie (though he still looks more like a HS
student than a teacher).
My drama-viewing sorta got derailed by, of all people, my drama-watching friend with the British series
Torchwood (I'll admit it, the fangirl in me loves
Capt. Jack Harkness somethin' fierce, no joke
) and subsequently
Doctor Who (of which
Torchwood is a spin-off/anagram), so my viewing time is currently being monopolized by that (forgot what it's like to watch things in English-- though I still often flip on the subs because those English/Welsh accents can be pretty thick to my ear). Once I catch up with
Doctor Who I'll probably resume my drama-watching. Gotta give the fansubbers a head start, right?
Pasta sounds interesting, though. I hadn't heard of it before. I liked Gong Hyo Jin in
Hello My Teacher (also an older-woman-younger-man series
). The only problem with restaurant series is that I get so hungry after watching the food-porn in them, y'know? And whatever I have to eat just doesn't compare to what I'm being shown...
