With last season’s dramas all finishing up now, it’s that exciting time when all new ones begin! Let’s have a look at what next season brings. Sounds Good To Me!

Tokyo Dogs A strong cast in this one. I’m very excited to watch both Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro together (again). It will hopefully be good I have to say that Shun’s hair cut is very flatering. (Plot? What plot? Did someone say something about a… ooh, there’s Shun and Hiro )

My Girl Staring Arashi’s Aiba Masaki this is the story about him raising his daughter by his self. It’s a late night one so it might not have much quality in it, but it looks perhaps sweet, plus I like Aiba, so I am looking forward to this one.

Shokojo Seira Or “A Little Princess”. Ths was one of my favourite books when I was a child, so I’m very interested to see how they interpret this!

Samurai Seventeen It’s got Miura Haruma in it, do I need to say more? Haha. But this sounds really cool, so I hope it is. He stars as an unmasculine guy who gets a samurai spirit in him or something. It also stars Shirota Yu! Hmmm… Maybe

Liar Game 2 OK, so with Liar Game, I actually ended up really enjoying it. It was crap, let’s face it, but I enjoyed the crap for what it was. It certainly wasn’t a show that took itself seriously, so why should I? Liar Game is coming back in November with Liar Game 2 (to end in a movie as well I hear). This is going in my Hmmmm.. list so I don’t think too highly of it and wont be dissapointed, hopefully just pleasantly surprised.

JIN Let me quote this: The story follows a brain surgeon named, Minakata Jin, who falls into a “time slip” that sends him back to Edo during the Bakumatsu era, the period that spelled the end of the shoguns’ rule over Japan. There, Jin ends up using his 21st-century medical expertise to help the people, who are suffering from various epidemic illnesses from the time, with the help of the modern medical knowledge of his era. (from dramawiki) Sounds interesting. Not sure if I agree with messing with the past, but it sounds interesting.

Nah

Real Clothes I wont be tuning into this unless others say it is good. This was a special before it was turned into a TV show. I watched maybe 3/4 of it and was bored to tears. While I love Cinderella stories, this was unoriginal and boring. I’m not sure what the tv show has to add/re-do but yawn

Hana Yori Dango 花より男子 Boys Over Flowers Episode One First Aired: 2005 Carlie’s Rating: Rate This Episode: Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it. The story of Tsukushi Makino, a poor girl who goes to a school filled with rich people. Then there is this group of boys called the “F4″, a group of rich bullies. Well, really, only one is the bully, a Tsukasa Domioji. The group decides to pick on Makino, which is the biggest mistake they could have made as she plans to fight back… This was one of the first dramas that I watched, and is thus will always have a special place in my heart. I also read (in English) the manga years ago, and was one of the things that contributed to my Japanese learning journey. This drama was also the start of a love affair with Matsumoto Jun. At first I didn’t get his appeal, but then he had me on his hook - another one Jun baited. We flirted for a while, but eventually I dumped him and moved on to different pastures. Episode One has Makino get the reg tag, and thus becomes bullied by the school. Makino is a great heroine because she stands up for herself. Tsukasa, on the other hand, is a real piece of work. I’d forgotten how mean he was, how horrible he could be. I was definitely rooting for Rui at the start. I can’t remember if it was the same with the manga, it’s been so many years since I read it. We do get a bit of insight into Tsukasa’s home life, so we gain a bit of perspective on why he is a huge a hole. The poor (figuratively) boy has issues, that’s for sure. I love the punch near the end. Pow, right in the kisser. And then it ends on a cliff hanger, getting kidnapped by Tsukasa… oooh, what will happen next?? Overall, this is a pretty strong first episode for a drama compared to most. And hey, I already said I’ll probably be a bit biased to this, as it’s like a “precious” childhood memory.
