Nanisama!
6.16.2006 9:41 PM \| Link	I've finished watching my first official Japanese TV drama, and it was so much fun! The show was Nanisama, which is an older show from 1998 - Mikie-san loaned me the DVDs, and she definitely picked out a great story for me. If you don't know, Japanese dramas have a limited number of episodes, so the plot definitely has a beginning, middle, and end, rather than just continuing on and on until cancellation like shows in America. I guess they're like soap operas with higher production values! Nanisama is about a likeable office worker and his troubles with his new female boss, a high-strung consultant, who secretly has another life (with her young son). I was surprised to see there were so many characters, and each of them is given enough scenes to develop. There are lots of hilarious scenes, and many, many touching moments as well (definitely good material to work up some tears). I really enjoyed watching the whole thing - it's just like a 10-hour movie! I'll definitely have to suppliment my anime consumption with more live-action dramas, I think. Labels: jdrama
