So! I've submitted the form for My panel for Tekkoshocon. I'll be doing it on the Sunday of the con, and have decided on "J-drama Review 2008". Right now, I'm looking at an hour time slot, possibly two if they need the space taken ( Read more... )

Interestingly, Maou was the only one that I watched completely myself- the rest I watched here and there, and I followed A LOT via people's reviews. *embaressed*

Thank you so much for replying so extensively! I'd say I love you forever, but you already know that! ;)

I still haven't finished watching any 2008 drama, so I can't really say anything. :3

I think one of the interesting things for me for doramas in 2008 is that the one drama I had anticipated and dreaded (because of the so short a notice kind of feeling) was CHANGE. When I heard the premise I was like WTF? But it definitely won me over from the second ep onwards and got me captivated. Other doramas I had a much better feeling about let me down however. Like Code Blue, Hachimitsu to Clover and Gokusen3 (why they don't call it just Yankumi + various Johnny Juniors is beyond me).

Anyway, back to your questions:
Which shows got poor ratings when they deserved the best?
Maou, because even though it was not better than its Korean original, watching Ikuta Toma in a main non-comedic role was a treat. Additionally, Around 40 was a solid show with good actors and witty screenplay.

Which shows had the most "cap-able" sceens, or the scenes that you had to watch over and over again?
Bara No Nai Hanaya - Shingo's Aishiteru in the final ep *swoon ( ... )
