After starting Satorare, though, I started noticing what others would hear if my thoughts were broadcast like his - and then it started bothering me that all of his thoughts were pretty coherent & in complete sentences - does anyone really think like that, ALL the time?? Well he's a genius, so maybe that's the difference, but it still seemed really artificial to me. 🤣
As for me, I don't think my thinking is like him.My mind always wander aimlessly and if anyone can read my mind I think they will be confused.Even I sometimes don't know what I'm thinking about.
🤣
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean, at least 90% of the time my thoughts are fragmented & wandering & random!
Oh, I also watched SP (Special Police) and enjoyed it, but they left WAY too much unexplained at the end - which I hope will be covered in the movie, & I hope I remember to look for it!

I'm watching My Girlfriend is a Gumiho right now. It's funny in a ridiculous/over the top sort of way. The two leads are adorable.
Is anyone watching the second season of Hotaru no Hikari? I'm enjoying it, though not as much as the first season. Buchou's extreme reserve and lack of romantic affection is a little annoying. Part of me want Amemiya to go for Seno.
I liked Tsuki no Koibito, too.
Oh! I recently watched The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. I had avoided it because it sounded kind of dumb, but the lovely ladies at Dramabeans raved about it so I decided to give it a try. I loved it! I thought the lead pairing was alright, but I really loved the Jung Da Jung side story. And being a woman who is no longer in my early twenties, it was fun to watch a romance featuring "older" (33 is not old, people!) women.
What I watched of Yankee-kun to Megane-chan was fun. I thought they did a good job matching the tone of the manga.
I assume you all know about Dramafever? It's been a blessing and a curse - much easier to find kdramas, it's free, and it's legal. But that means more of my time is sucked away in drama land. I hope they're able to add more jdramas. I think there are some kdramas on Hulu now, too.
One I really enjoyed was Regatta. And a KDrama I also really like is Stars Falling From the Sky.

I just finished rewatching that. Those kids are adorable, especially Pa Rang.

Hm, I think I'll have to check out Stars Falling from the Sky...The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry somehow just doesn't appeal to me, but I'll put it on my "maybe" list.
Started watching Kaibutsu-kun a couple of days ago - so far it's fun, but definitely more of a kids' show than I usually watch.

I'm not much for j-drama or k-drama or whatever letter-drama, but I've heard The Jolly Widow is good.

My favorite of all time is Kekkon Dekinai Otoko.
Others I liked are:
j-drama
Ninkyo Helper
Seigi no Mikata
k-drama
Call of the Country
That Fool
Secret Garden
EDIT: Deleted the ones that have already been mentioned... except for Kekkon Dekinai Otoko because it deserves all the publicity it can get. 🙂

Well...you've seen all the series I've seen 🤣 , but may I recomend a movie I saw (since there were movies on the list...) Anyway, I think the english title (translation or whatever it is 😕 ) it's Accuracy of Death, and the japanese one...Shinigami no Seido or something between those lines 😀 . It's a really good and hilarious movie.

My all-time favorite live-action Asian drama series:
Meteor Garden - Taiwanese drama based on Hana Yori Dango I believe... (though I've never read the manga.)
My Name Is Kim Sam Soon - Korean drama... it's like... the Korean version of Bridget Jones's Diary... like... total chick-lit... modernized Pride and Prejudice sorta. Whatever, my favorite hands down. 😃
