The hotness level of BOSS is ridiculous. So good.

And, as if Amami Yuki, Takenouchi Yutaka, Tamayama Tetsuji and Toda Erika weren't enough: YAMADA TAKAYUKI IS IN THE PREVIEW FOR EP FOUR.

OMFG. SO EXCITED. I AM GOING TO WATCH IT NOW!

ps. I love Takenouchi Yutaka hitting on every and any woman in sight.

Over the weekend I acquired two jdrama related things, both on dvd:

1) the Galileo movie
2) Voice (2009) drama starring Eita, Ishihara Satomi, Ikuta Toma, etc.

I watched the Galileo movie but found it very bland, which was very disappointing. This was my reaction to the SP with Miura Haruma as young Yukawa, too... I think it's partly because both the film and the SP are too long for the admittedly gimmicky yet entertaining premise to work to its campy potential, and more importantly, not enough Utsumi. What on earth are the writers thinking? It's true that Galileo is a fun hero on his own, but without the banter and UST between the two, the whole franchise falls flat.

Now I'm off to read chick-lit and relax. I'll start on Voice this weekend, provided I can rouse myself to finally finish Love Shuffle. I'm STILL three eps to go, my brother commandeering the laptop during my marathon really made my interest level drop.

LOL.

( OMG! )

... is really lots of fun. It plays out like a collection of sometimes startling, sometimes poignant vignettes connected by a paper thin premise (which is so flimsy it's almost laughable but nevertheless gets the job done). Yet the mixture of slightly-wacky/not-always-successful-comedy and exuberant bursts of drama works.

I'm about to start ep four and I think I might end up marathoning the entire thing in a couple of days. Not many dramas have that effect on me but boy do I love it when they do.

I really do like everything Tamaki Hiroshi deigns to touch with his godly-yet-skeletal hands.

Once I catch up on the jdramas from last season, I plan to watch these:

Shiroi Haru which, aside from starring the greek god that is ABE HIROSHI, has Yoshitaka Yuriko, who is also in Love Shuffle (another one on my list). I've only seen her in a few episodes of Ashita no Kita Yoshio, which I unfortunately never finished. But I really, really liked her in those few eps I saw.

BOSS: what can I say? Glossy looking with great cast. Loads of pretty people. Erika Toda wearing geeky glasses. Wish there were subs already.

What are y'all watching?
