Blame Xena for everything.

And here we are at another drama season! How did that happen?

Poll Roly poly

I'm amused to see that all the crossdressing heroines from last season have grown up. This time it's all about middle-aged women and the variety of ways they become BAMFs:

-A housewife as a mysterious problem-solver
-A housewife who is secretly a spy-A housewife becoming a detective

"bitches getting ALL the shit done." ROFL xD

[darkeyedwolf]

Seriously! Look at the men! Butlers and uncles and eye candy. Meanwhile, the ladies have work to do. \o/

[p3rk3le]

just the way you like them xD

Hiiiiii! *jumps and clings* Seen any interesting kdramas recently?

I've no idea what I'll be watching this season. A lot of them look interesting, but it seems like I'd get tired of housewives after awhile... maybe I should check them all out and just pick one or two? Decisions, decisions.

I just don't see any good ol' SUPER ROMANTIC tragic dramas.

Well, there's KIMURA TAKUYA THE ARCTIC EXPLORER, which I'm betting will end with either romance or cannibalism.

[darkeyedwolf]

Honestly, I'm okay with this season being less thrilling than the last, mostly because I'm still trying to catch up with that one. XD I've only finished about half of what I started, WHY PROCRASTINATION, WHY DO YOU HAUNT ME SO, WHY.

I'm cautiously hopeful for the KimuTaku drama because it feels like they've finally stopped trying to make him God. You know? This is a pretty normal role compared to KIMUTAKU THE PRIME MINISTER and KIMUTAKU THE AMAZING SCIENTIST/GIGOLO/HOCKEY STAR/RACECAR DRIVER. If they'll just back off and let him be a real character I'm sure he'll be sexy and charming even stuffed into all those winter coats like a Japanese sausage.

Plus, Sakai Masato! *_______*

I'm going to watch the first episode of almost ALL the new dramas and then decide which ones I like!

I always promise to do this and then... never do. XD You'll have to let me know if you find a real gem!

Only watched Kuriyama Chiaki the spy so far, but give me a free hour this weekend and I'll happily spend it with LADY BOUNTY HUNTERS *___________* I know, I know, I'm just way too easy.

And can't wait for KudoKan omg omg omg.

(Changing the topic to Western TV - have you started the new season of Fringe yet???)

[darkeyedwolf]

YES YES FL;KSDJFSDALFJSDF FAVORITE PART OF THE WEEK

Is the Chiaki spy one any good? Please say yes, because she needs more leading roles like flowers need rain and I'm hoping this drama is the platform for more.

[miss_magrat]

OMG I'M GLAD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS MY FEELINGS. AFGDHFGSDH after that ending I want the next episode so badly but then I remember it won't come for another week and the world becomes a bit darker DDD: I NEED PETER/OLIVIA LIKE AIR AFDFHHSDFG FFDSHFG MY SHIPPER HEART

I'm actually not quite sure what to think about Chiaki drama yet. I mean, it has quite a lot of elements I enjoy, but I didn't really like how they dealt with the chosen subject matter in the first episode (lol trying to be non-spoilery is full of vagueness). Basically, I'll give it a one or two more episodes to see whether I TRULY enjoy it or just really want to.

I'M THINKING FLAMETHROWERS.

[darkeyedwolf]

Okay, I have to confess. I love Peter/Olivia to the ends of the earth, but I could totally go for some Amberverse!Olivia/Linc.

D: at the Chiaki drama, but you've successfully intrigued me even if it's for the wrong reasons, rofl. I guess I'll just have to download and see for my myself!

[timeripple]

I haven't had the heart or the time to investigate any of the new dramas this season, but spies and detectives are dear to my heart, so.

...A flight attendant becoming a bounty hunter

...really? omg what. I am so there.

[darkeyedwolf]

Wait, let me rephrase.

Yonekura Ryoko as a flight attendant becoming a bounty hunter.

IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING AWESOME IN THE WORLD COMING TOGETHER INTO ONE.

[timeripple]

;ALSKDJFL;ASKJFLS;KJDFAS YAY. You know, I still haven't actually watched any of her dramas except the feminist jailbait one with Kaname Jun the gay bookseller.

[spunspider]

what, no pictures? :(

[darkeyedwolf]

For what? Promo images? But they're usually so lame... XD

[spunspider]

[darkeyedwolf]

LMAO yes, these are all upcoming/just started dramas for the new season. I like to compare lists and preemptively judge. :D :D :D
