Autumn 2007 Drama Top5
I figured I'll do this every season. Now that the autumn season in J-dramas is almost over I'll list the 5 dramas I enjoyed the most and the reasons this happened.
Top 5 (Autumn 2007)
1. Iryu 2 - Up until a few days ago this was no 2. But I became extremely addicted after episodes 4 & 5. It's the best drama this season. It's even better than the first season! I never thought I would enjoy surgeries so much! And the actors are also shining through. No kidding people! Watch this!
2. Galileo - It's the powerful comeback of Masaharu Fukuyama in acting. Need I say more? This was my no1 until Iryu usurped the spot. Fuji's Monday 21:00 slot had suffered a lot these past years and this drama brought the ratings back up. If you love mysteries you'll like this. And you'll be amazed at the names that guest star in each episode.
3. Utahime - Very underestimated drama. The ratings are low cause supposedly people can't understand the dialect the actors speak. But getting past this we have a beautiful love story set in the 50's (amazing era imo) complete with Nagase Tomoya's acting talents. Top quality if you ask me!
4. Mop Girl - Never expected it to be this good! Kitagawa Keiko's first lead role is a big success. Although the summary may trick you, this drama is extremely funny. Momoko is so goofy (but doesn't beat Kanzaki Nao in stupidity) and we also have Sho (Tanihara Sousuke as a helpless playboy) who helps her without knowing why. Together they make a very fun conbination!
5. Yukan Club - Don't get me wrong. I like it. If I didn't this wouldn't be no 5. But I had higher expectations... Jin needs a lot of improvement in his acting. But the others do a decent job (Junno and Minami being the best). Needless to say this drama is absurd! And that's what makes it so much fun! It's great to watch this as a pastime and laugh at how ridiculous the plot is!
That's the report for this season. The dramas I'm mostly anticipting next season are:
Honey and Clover (I LOVED the anime and the movie and OMG Hiroki Narimiya is Morita!)
1 Pound no Fukuin ( Kame's comeback! And it's a love comedy! With Kuroki Meisa!)
Binbou Danshi (First Shun Oguri lead role! It's a comedy too!)
Shikaotoko to Aoniyoshi ( Ayase Haruka and Tamaki Hiroshi! With a ridiculous plot to boot!)
Mirai Koshi Meguru (Kankuro Kudo drama! Kankuro Kudo drarma! Kankuro Kudo dramaaaaa! With Kyoko Fukada as the lead)
