Autumn JDo

Kitaa~~!! (Read: It's coming)

Ok, eventhough it's almost end of autumn but i still love to review few doramas i got my hand into. For autumn doramas, there are few eagerly awaited doramas like Dream Again, Galileo and Iryu 2 but nevertheless there are also few doramas capture my attention. So, let's roll!!

Title: Galileo
Synopsis:
In "Galileo," Fukuyama Masaharu plays a genius physicist and university associate professor, Yukawa Manabu, who solves difficult mysteries. Affectionately known as Tantei Galileo, Yukawa is brilliant, an all-round sportsman, tall and handsome but eccentric. Yukawa's partner is a rookie cop, Utsumi Kaoru played by Shibasaki Kou. She is hot-blooded and has a strong sense of justice. -- jade_frost

Lol, i'm freaking lazy to write the synopsis. By rating (in Kanto area - Tokyo and above), it receive quite a warm rating from viewer. I guess the main factor is the cast (main and minor one quite a reputable a.k.a big name) and famous novel adaptation which make people really anticipated the live action version. Nevertheless, it's quite an enjoyable dorama.

Title: Iryu 2
Synopsis:
In Iryu 2, Asada Ryutaro wages a new battle against the realities of Japan's medical care system. The government has drafted legislation to tackle the recent inflation of medical fees; hospitals have entered an era in which they will go bankrupt if they aren't independently run. At the same time, hospital mergers and takeovers are also taking place. Additionally, the obstetrics and pediatrics departments are being closed in succession, and there are inadequate doctors in the region - issues that are closely related to these hospital management problems. Now, hospitals, like the average corporation, face collapse if they are not profitable. -- jade_frost

Asada Ryutaro is back with more complicated situation. It's damn entertaining and heart moving to watch this dorama. The score is great, storyline freaking brilliant and suitable cast. Continue from first installment of Iryu, the second installment go in depth with far complicated case than the first season which solely on Batista. A great journey and i so in love with Kataoka -san!!! hahaha.

Title: Dream Again
Synopsis:
This original series stars Takashi Sorimachi as the pro baseball player Shunsuke Ogi, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hope of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. God decides to give him a second chance, placing his soul into the body of another man - a wealthy fund company manager - but adjusting to his new life isn't easy... --Tokyograph

Takashi Sorimachi would be my all time favorite J-Actor. He's so charismatic which seeing you couldn't possibly hate him. In this dorama, he's so cool!! This dorama hopefully would be much better than Hotman 2 (which i don't finish watching since the theme freaking repetitive with nothing much different conflict with Hotman). The score is quite great, finely put you into sad emotion.

Title: Yukan Club
Synopsis:
Shochikubai Miroku (Akanishi Jin) is the son of a police commissioner (father) and also a traveller (mother). Miroku has lots of connections and is a very good fighter. His interest is his motorcycle. Kikumasamune Seishiro (Yokoyuma Yu) is the rich son of a large hospital. He also fights as well as Miroku. He is a good fighter with smarts. Bido Granmarie (Taguchi Junnosuke) is the son of a Swedish ambassador. He's also a playboy, dating many girls at once. Granmarie can't see himself going steady because he thinks the world can't handle it. Kenbishi Yuri (Minami) is the rich daughter of a world-renowned president of the Kenbishi Business. She loves to indulge on eating. She's also a good fighter, but can never beat Seishiro. Hakushika Noriko (Kashii Yu) is the daughter of a famous japanese painter (father) and her mother is from a tradition tea ceremony family. Her only hate is men and can get very violent when they touch her. Kizakura Karen (Suzuki Emi) lives with her mother, a rich jewel dealer. Her dream is to marry into a rich family using her attractive body and style.

Together, they formed the Yukan Club, solving mysteries to pass time.

This dorama is a high school dorama which so comical. Shut down your brain and enjoy the comical acting, you would love this dorama. Just like Yamada Taro Monogatari (last season dorama), this dorama give you pure entertainment without added value. Nevertheless, i dig into this dorama for Suzuki Emi (i'm so love her in Gal Circle) and Kashii Yu (love her in My Boss, My Hero). Else, i just need to find something to kill my time. hahaha.

Title: Mop Girl
Synopsis:
Kitagawa plays the part of the slow but hardworking Momoko, a low-ranking employee at a funeral services company who carries a mop as part of her job. However, Momoko happens to possess a strange ability. Whenever she comes across the corpse of someone who has left strong feelings behind, she travels back in time to save that person from his or her fate. --Tokyograph

If you ask me why i watch this dorama, i would say it's because of the main cast. Kitagawa Keiko is damn cute!!! For those who watching Sailormoon (live action version), she's the Sailor Mars. The storyline not so bad, but another factor for me watching this dorama must be the score. Sawajiri Erika sings the main OST. I expect it not to be so good but it turns out great. Quite rocking! Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable dorama with Sakai Ayana (love her in Ace Wo Nerae and Jotei) made an appearance as a bitchy popular figure. Yeah, it's suite her very much and that's what i love about her.

Title: Utahime
Synopsis:
Koizumi Akira, a son of a popular songstress, travels to a small-town cinema in far-off Kochi Prefecture to watch the closing movie before the theatre shuts its doors forever. The movie takes place in the same village but during the Showa 30s (1950s), in the years following the war. The story follows a young soldier who washes ashore on the beach one day, having lost his memory. He is "adopted" by the family who owns the village cinema and given the name Shimanto Taro. Although his past remains a mystery, Taro becomes good friends with many of the villagers, discovering his love for movies and falling in love with a feisty young girl.

Nagase Tomoya never failed to make me laughing my ass out. This dorama starring Nagase Tomoya as main cast. An acceptable dorama but rather slow in progressing in storyline. I picking up this dorama for Nagase Tomoya and S-Project subbing it (siantut - the one who subbed Nodame Cantabile and Karei Naru Ichizoku). Must be some reason for S-Project to picking up this dorama for their subbing project which most of the time impress me (storyline, cast or jokes in it).

Okies, eventhough some people might not appreciate this post much (am i the only one crazy about JDo?) but as promised, i will still post about new JDo here. hehehe. till then, i'm checking out!
