This season is strange: there's nothing I can't wait to watch, but there are few things I think will be really good... Also, I was excited when they announced Kimutaku and Shingo's dramas, but Kimura's one seems a bit boring, while Monsters... I can't bring myself to watch another drama with Yamapi. At the beginning I thought 'I'll try it just for Shingo', but then I saw the trailer... and... I can't XD
Also Toma's drama... I'm not so excited about it O_O

She wants to, and thinks that she should, but for some reason, she just cannot seem to. With friends of the same age are getting married one after another and seeing the birth of children, she starts to feel anxious about remaining single as she grows old. Then, Chiharu learns that Chinatsu, her younger sister, who is on the verge of marriage, hopes to live together in the family home.

She has chosen not to marry, but on the few occasions that she goes to see her mother and grandmother, their laments sink in … … Then, there is 32-year-old kind-hearted, sensitive Kudo Junpei (Tamaki Hiroshi), who works part-time at a flower shop. He thinks of other people more than he does of himself, is a late bloomer in love and makes little headway.

Things I'll try

Double Face
double fae

Date: From 9.00 p.m., 15 October 2012
Station: TBS
Cast: Kagawa Teruyuki, Nishijima Hidetoshi, Wakui Emi, Ito Atsushi, Kadono Takuzo, Kohinata Fumiyo
Synopsis: The police receive a tip off from their undercover operative that the crime syndicate Oda-gumi will be conducting a huge drug transaction. However, Oda Taisei (Kohinata Fumiyo) suspects that there is a spy in their midst and does not even tell his leaders the venue of the transaction until the very last minute. Hearing of police activities from his spy in the police organisation, he orders a change in the location. The police are led by the nose, but scramble to the alleged venue based on information from their operative. They charge in and seize Oda. However, right before that, Oda had received information from his spy and promptly threw away the drugs to destroy evidence. In the end, he and his men are released. This incident confirms to both Oda and Police Inspector Onodera (Kadono Takuzo) that there is a spy in each of their organisations. Moriya Jun (Nishijima Hidetoshi) happens to see police officer Takayama Ryosuke (Kagawa Teruyuki). A few days earlier, the two of them had encountered each other on the streets by chance, but this is the first time that they learn of their respective positions as crime syndicate member and police officer. While Moriya is a member of the Oda-gumi, he is actually the police’s undercover operative. No one besides Onodera knows that he is a police officer. But the 6 years spent enduring this mission has started to tip Moriya’s emotional balance a little. On the other hand, Takayama is given the mission to find the traitor within the police by the director of the Security Department. Takayama is in fact the spy for the Oda-gumi and has been secretly tasked to discover the identity of the undercover operative in the gang. No one in the police organisation knows that and he is gradually alienated by his colleagues who wonder if he suspects them. Takayama obtains the personal history of the Oda-gumi members who were involved in the drug transaction the other day from Oda. A man stealthily tails him from behind as he leaves. It it Moriya. However, Takayama shakes him off by slipping into a crowd. An invisible fear that their true identities have been revealed to someone else starts to shake them up … …
Reasons: actually, it seems that there are two of them, so I'm still confused XD Anyway, it seems interesting and I'd like to check out the first episode.

But one day, when he should have been hired as a full-fledged employee in recognition of his steady work performance, his company unexpectedly downsizes by laying off its part-time and temporary workers. His unemployment is the catalyst for the break up with his girlfriend of 7 years. Jotaro returns to his family whom he has grown apart from, but it is not a place where he can be himself with the presence of his reliable younger brother who works at the local government office. Just as Jotaro is ready to despair, he suddenly learns of the activities of the Kochi Shimanto ‘Area Revitalisation Cooperation Volunteers’ through the internet. Taking an interest in it, he decides to live in Shimanto City which he is a complete stranger to.

With her dream shattered, a despondent Kahori happens to ride on the same train bound for Kochi as Jotaro. Because of that incident, Jotaro feels a sense of affinity as fellow friends who have moved out from Tokyo, but his optimism rubs Kahori the wrong way.
Trailer: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDUyMTI1MTQ4.html
Reasons: honestly, I'm not really excited about it. Still, it could be actually a nice drama (I have this Freeter-feeling...), and I always like Toma's works, so I'll try it 


Priceless ~ Aruwakenedaro, nnanmon!
tumblr_maxgwqfe3w1qm0agr

Date: From 9.00 p.m., Mondays, 22 October 2012
Station: Fuji TV
Cast: Kimura Takuya, Karina, Fujigaya Taisuke, Renbutsu Misako, Masu Takeshi, Maeda Oshiro, Tanaka Kanau, Isse Ogata, Nakai Kiichi, Nakamura Atsuo (guest star), Natsuki Mari, Naohito Fujiki
Synopsis: Originally a mid-level manager with a promising future in a big corporation called Miracle Thermos and loved by subordinates, the life of the elite Kindaichi Fumio (Kimura Takuya) changes dramatically one day. Having for some reason attracted the attention of the senior management, he is framed for a crime which he knows nothing of and forced out of the workplace. Even after that, Kindaichi is assailed by a series of surprises and in one day, he loses his house, wealth and handphone until he is without a cent to his name. At his wits end, he comes to a park where he encounters two young boys (Maeda Oshiro, Tanaka Kanau). Learning from them how to survive even if he does not have money, he somehow weathers this crisis and discovers the truly important and priceless things in life. The good thing about Kindaichi is that his carefree personality amazingly does not shift. It is not resentment and bitterness that become his driving force, but the love and help of the people he meets that enables him to keep go forward step by step. Nikaido Aya (Karina) works in the accounts department of the same company as Kindaichi. She is a female who attracts no attention but gets work done perfectly. The incident involving Kindaichi is the catalyst for a major turning point for Aya too. The heart of this rigid woman also changes through her encounters with him.
Trailer: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDUxNTkwMDQ0.html
Reasons: it seems boring ç_ç I'll try it only because I'm in love with Kimutaku. This is my only reason u_u

Well ... this season also looks like having a lot of free time for other things to do ...
I haven't watched the trailer of Monsters yet.^^' I also thought to give it a try for Shingo (because Yamapi can't trigger me at all) But if you say even that wasn't that great I just wait a few episodes ^^

There is a Ooku universe ... oh no, I missed that ~.~ I thought that one looks pretty interesting but I guess I have to start at the first series-something? So I need to catch up first or are the stories pretty not thaaaat related to each other?

Osozaki no Himawari ~ Toma's drama. I was like meeeep. 'm still like meeeep about this one but let's give it a try. (also had that Freeter-feeling)

Priceless ... it's like story vs Kimura. I really don't know where this is heading to. Well, atm I still have faith it might be interesting. *crosses fingers* Even though I'm really not that happy about the woman's role.

I didn't like the trailer at all... but maybe it's just my opinion, a lot of people are really excited about it! So maybe you could try after some episodes if reactions are good!

They did a movie (the one with Nino) like... 2 years ago, maybe? So when I talk about an Ooku universe I talk about that XD (I think that there have been some of those super long dramas a lot of years ago too...) And I totally loved the movie and its athmosphere *_* If you haven't watched it yet, do it! But it's not related to the drama. The stor of the drama seems the same of the movie, but I think it will go in a different direction (since it's longer)

I ended up loving Freeter, so the Freeter feeling is not such a bad thing... but it could end up being boring, so I'm confused O_O

The one i can't wait for is a late night drama "Piece" - Yuma is love nd he got hot since his last drama role and the plot seems really interesting *-*

Questa stagione ci sono tanti drama da vedere ,____,
spero che qualcuno sia brutto (anche se non sono persona da mollare a metà un drama, purtroppo...) ma in qualche modo si deve pur fare... sono troppi ;___;

All'inizio ero super scettica per Piece... la storia sembrava carina, ma il cast non mi ispirava minimamente XD
Però me l'avete citato almeno in 3, quindi credo che aspetterò di vedere come reagirete tutti per decidere!

Io lo spero ogni stagione... purtroppo o per fortuna vengo quasi sempre accontentata XD

Se non ti è piaciuto Bakaleya allora non so se consigliartelo o meno XD

Anche perché, diciamo, i dramini della notte dei Jr li guardo in treno e/o per svagarmi, senza stare a guardare molto alla recitazione... (anche se in realtà lì dentro qualcuno che mi piaceva c'era, ma magari sono gli occhi del cuore)

Per quanto io non sopporti Yuma (è uno dei pochi Johnny's che si contano sulle dita che mi sta sulle balle) non mi dispiace come recita.
In Koishite Akuma mi è piaciuto!

Comunque Piece, sempre che qualcuno lo subbi, ti dirò come lo trovo!!

Non so come non concordare su Ohoku. E' da quando ho visto il film al cinema che penso che si meritava un sequel/prequel/un qualcosa d'altro, insomma. Troppo bella come idea per non volerne di più. E ora un drama e un film! non dirò più che non vengo mai esaudita XD

Anche a me il drama di Toma sa un po' da "Freeter"... perché abbiamo tutte questa percezione O_O?
Yamapi non attira neppure me (anche se in Nobuta confesso di averlo adorato *_*); nemmeno il Kimutaku amo, ma Karina sì :p

EDIT - mi sono dimenticata Piece per strada. Il manga mi piace un sacco, il cast per ora mi convince poco (più che altro, sono giovini e non li conosco), ciò non toglie che mi piacerebbe darci un occhio :)

Sono sempre più curiosa di vedere come sarà il drama e come si evolverà la storia! Era un'idea troppo bella per non continuare a sfruttarla XD E poi, Sakai Masato, santo cielo... è un attore splendido *_*

La pensiamo tutte così, davvero O_O Mah, spero che allora si riveli bello come Freeter!
Sì, l'unico drama in cui Yamapi mi è piaciuto è stato Nobuta. Ne ho visti almeno altri tre con lui, ma... no. Certe storie non erano nemmeno brutte (vedi Stand Up, che è splendido), ma lui... no. Mi sta anche simpatico, povero ragazzo, ma non sa recitare. Non ha espressioni facciali O_O

Per quanto Karina mi piaccia, Kimura è l'unico motivo per cui proverò quel drama, anche se sembra una palla XD

Sei la terza che mi nomina Piece. Non conosco il manga, ma la trama sembra carina... l'ho scartato a priori per il cast, sinceramente (non amo i giovini, specialmente se sono Johnny's, perchè nove su dieci non mi piace come 'recitano'... sono stata traumatizzata dal primo episodio di Bakaleya O_O)
Però a questo punto credo che aspetterò che inizi, e se i commenti sono positivi ci darò un'occhiata pure io ^^

Date: 2012-10-08 08:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lalois.livejournal.com
Piece è davvero una bella storia, ma è quel tipo di storia che tratta temi maturi e per la quale un cast di soli giovini secondo me è totalmente inadatto :(
(e i personaggi sono universitari)
Poi eh, spero di sbagliarmi ampiamente, me ne rallegrerei, per la buona riuscita del drama ç_ç

Yamapi per anni non c'è stato verso che mi ricordassi che faccia avesse. Poi ha assunto un qualche significato con Nobuta XD

From: [identity profile] sakura-watanuki.livejournal.com
Darò sicuramente un'occhiata a Ohoku. Quello di Toma...anche a me ha ricordato subito Freeter... Quindi, visto che sono disoccupata, l'ho messo in lista, ma a seconda della piega che prende non so quando lo guarderò. magari quando troverò lavoro, tipo. Peccato perché era da tanto che aspettavo un suo dorama nuovo .__.
Poi voglio guardare almeno il primo episodio di Akumu-chan per vedere se i truccatori riescono veramente a dare addirittura due espressioni facciali a Gackt. XD
Per il resto non mi attira altro così a prima vista perché o mi interessa la trama, ma non mi ispira il cast, o viceversa. XD
Il trailer di Monsters dove l'hai trovato? Vorrei vederlo. XD

Sì, ecco, forse non sono le cose migliori da vedere quando si è disoccupati O_O
Akumu-chan... lo ammetto, all'inizio mi ha tentato praticamente per il tuo stesso motivo XD Ma poi ho cambiato idea (ma mi dirai se i truccatori sono riusciti nell'intento!)
Il trailer l'ho trovato QUI!

Io ho visto solo questo (e il suo cameo in Galileo XD), è un dorama bellino:

Stavo considerando ieri che ancora deve praticamente iniziare questa stagione e già aspetto la prossima... XD Mi ispirano il dorama della Toda e quello con Eita e Matsuda Ryuhei, e non è ancora uscita la lista completa. XD
anche se sto cercando di dimenticare che ci sarà anche il dorama di xxxHolic
